-----------------------------
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, coached by Pascal Reinhardt, enters as a fourth-tier Regionalliga Südwest side after promotion from the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg last season. They are in top form, winning four of their last five matches, including a 6-1 thrashing of TSG Balingen and a 3-0 win over SV Oberachern, averaging 4.11 goals scored and 0.75 goals conceded. Key players include Fabian Eisele (5 goals in 3 games), Loris Maier, and Dominik Schwizer, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Reule; Landwehr, Aidonis, Nuraj, Mohr; Mistl, Celiktas; Maier, Tasdelen, Kleinschrodt; Eisele. Their strengths are their attacking prowess and home momentum, but facing a Bundesliga giant and an injury to Denis Rahn (broken arm) are concerns. They aim for a historic upset in their third DFB-Pokal first-round appearance.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen, led by new coach Erik ten Hag, is the 2023-24 DFB-Pokal champions and Bundesliga runners-up. Their recent form is mixed, with a 3-0 friendly win over Pisa but a 2-0 loss to Chelsea on August 8, 2025, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.1 goals conceded in five matches. Key players include Patrik Schick (4 goals in last DFB-Pokal), Robert Andrich, and new signing Jarell Quansah, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Flekken; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapié, Tella; Andrich, García, Grimaldo; Maza, Adli, Schick. Leverkusen’s strengths are their technical superiority and depth (12 summer signings), but injuries to Jeanuël Belocian (cruciate ligament), Jonas Hofmann, Exequiel Palacios (both hamstring), and Martin Terrier (Achilles) are issues. They aim to start the ten Hag era with a win and avoid a repeat of their 2023 first-round exit.
Head-to-Head
This is the first competitive meeting between SG Sonnenhof Großaspach and Bayer Leverkusen. A 2015 friendly saw Großaspach win 1-0 when they were in the third tier. Matches between Bundesliga and Regionalliga sides in the DFB-Pokal average 3.5 goals, with 75% over 2.5 goals and 40% both teams scoring (BTTS). Großaspach’s only prior first-round appearances ended in losses (4-1 to Stuttgart in 2009, 2-1 to FSV Frankfurt in 2012).
Predicted Score: SG Sonnenhof Großaspach 1-4 Bayer Leverkusen
Großaspach’s Eisele and Maier face Leverkusen’s Schick and Adli, with Großaspach’s attacking form tested by Leverkusen’s Bundesliga quality. Leverkusen are heavy favorites (-2500 odds, 96% win probability) over Großaspach (+2800), with a draw at +1200, per FOX Sports. Trends (Großaspach: 80% over 2.5 goals; Leverkusen: 50%) and H2H data suggest goals, with betting tips favoring Leverkusen -2.5 Asian Handicap (1.90) and over 3.5 goals (1.85). Cards may be issued in the 22°C evening, with Großaspach’s physicality (12 fouls per game) and Leverkusen’s 3 yellows in recent games suggesting 4-5 cards. The winner advances to the second round; the loser is eliminated. Leverkusen is likely to score through Schick and Maza, with Eisele possibly netting a consolation for Großaspach. Leverkusen’s technical edge and depth should secure a convincing win, aligning with predictions from Bundesliga.com and Khel Now, though Großaspach’s home form and attacking momentum may yield a goal.
