Verl hosts Union Berlin in the German DFB Pokal 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 5th at Sportclub Arena (Verl)
Verl is a relatively unknown team that competes in Germany’s western regional league. This league is the fourth division. Verl reached the 1/8 finals stage after defeating Augsburg (2-1) in the first round, and it was more successful than Holstein Kiel in the penalty shootout in the 1/16 finals. In general, Verl holds a successful season. They are still unbeaten at home, with seven victories and two draws in their nine home games. And they score an average of two goals in each home match.

The Iron Ones are six points above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga and have a favorable schedule in the upcoming rounds, so they go to Verl to complete the maximum task. So far, Union Berlin was not very convincing on the road, having lost seven of the last 10 away matches, but I expect that the Berliners will be set up for the cup in a fighting manner.
Yes, maybe this match does not have a beautiful sign, but it can turn out to be hot. The Berliners are not against open football. Each of their last five matches in the cup has ended with at least 3+ goals. They have scored two or more in each of the last four games, including this season. For the hosts, reaching the 1/8 finals of the Cup is the most significant success in their modest history, so they will enjoy the match against the next team from the top division, regardless of the result.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
