Elversberg have gone 12 matches without a victory in the DFB Pokal and have experienced consecutive losses since returning from the winter break.
In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen are riding high with an impressive run, having collected 18 points from their last seven games, giving them plenty of confidence.
Bayer Leverkusen have been highly consistent in DFB Pokal matches that feature over 2.5 goals, with all seven of their games this season fitting that pattern. Elversberg, despite playing only four times due to postponements, have also seen three of their matches go over 2.5 goals.
Scoring hasn’t been an issue for Bayer Leverkusen at home in the DFB Pokal, as they’ve found the back of the net in each of their last 12 matches.
Elversberg, on the other hand, have had five consecutive away games at this level where both teams have scored, suggesting a similarly open game when the two teams meet.
Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have been dominant on their home turf recently, winning eight and drawing one of their last nine top-flight games while outscoring their opponents by 14 goals to two.
Meanwhile, Elversberg have struggled on the road, losing four of their last five away games, including one at this stadium.
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 2 : 2 Elversberg
