German teams get a first taste of competitive action this weekend as the First Round of the DFB Pokal gets underway and one intriguing match sees Regionalliga side Sonnenhof Grossaspach hosting the team that won this trophy in 2024, Bayer Leverkusen. Will our prediction back SG to spring a surprise at their WIRmachenDRUCK Arena, or will Erik Ten Hag lead the Black and Reds to an expected cup victory over their third-tier opponents?
After earning promotion last season from Oberliga Baden-Wurttemburg to the Regionalliga Sudwest, Sonnenhof Grossaspach have started the season well. Winning their opening two games in superb fashion. They followed up a 6-1 home win over Ballingen on the opening day with a 4-1 win away to Astoria Waldorf at the weekend. Those results see the team top of the fledgling table on goal difference.
It has been a mixed pre-season for Leverkusen and new manager Erik Ten Hag. A 5-1 defeat to Flamengo's Under 20 team was the low point, but they then won three games in a row, including a 3-0 home win over Pisa. However, their final pre-season game saw them take on Chelsea away, going down to a 2-0 defeat to the newly crowned FIFA Club World Cup Champions.
