Saarbrucken hosts Bayer Leverkusen in the German DFB Pokal semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 9th at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion (Völklingen)
Regional leagues of German football were finished ahead of schedule. And Saarbrucken can be congratulated on the fact that they became the winners of their division, and next season they will play in the third Bundesliga. The team played its last official match in early March. After three months of inactivity, the semi-amateur team will play against Bayer in the semifinals of the country's cup. Well, if Dick Lottner’s men manage to offer battle to Bayer and lose with a modest score, this will already be some kind of phenomenon. Yes, this small team has made not a single sensation in the current cup draw. However, everything was on emotions and a cool wave of results. The team has not played for three months, and now it will face Bayer, which is on the move because five rounds of the Bundesliga have already been played after quarantine. Moreover, the match will be played in front of empty stands. Saarbrucken is in a very difficult situation now.

Well, what about Bayer? No one will understand the Red Blacks if they don’t beat the amateur team with a score of 3-0 (or larger). Given that Bayern Munich will probably reach the final, Bayer will get a good opportunity to take revenge on the Munich team for the recent defeat in the championship (2-4). But it will be in the finals, and now we are talking about a semifinal match where Bayer has a modest opponent. Bayer acted quite well after quarantine – it lost two games and won three times. The team of Peter Bosz has no problems with the attack, and it managed to score two goals even in the lost match with Bayern. In total, Bayer managed to score 11 goals in five matches after the break, and the opponents were among the strongest teams in German football, and not from the regional league.
The tale of a small team from the regional league has probably ended. If this match with Bayer would take place in due time, as planned, then the alignment of forces would be completely different. Saarbrucken hasn’t had game practice for three months, and now it has to play against the top team from Bundesliga, which is in a good game tone. Perhaps it’s worth betting on Bayer’s confident victory with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win with -1.5 handicap
