We have selected five top games in the 1st DFB Cup round – with analysis, prognosis and betting odds!

Eintracht Braunschweig – Hertha BSC

Friday, 9/11/2020, 8:45 p.m.

Already on the opening day of the first round of the DFB Pokal there was an extremely explosive encounter: Eintracht Braunschweig receives Hertha BSC.

Braunschweig is from the 3rd division in the 2. Bundesliga and will go into the cup duel against Hertha BSC with the euphoria for promotion.

The Berliners will have to be careful that round 1 does not end again. In addition, the capital city finally want to fulfill their dream of the cup final in their home Olympic stadium.

1860 Munich – Eintracht Frankfurt

Saturday, September 12th, 2020, 3:30 p.m.

The first round of the DFB Cup for Eintracht Frankfurt this year means risk of tripping!

Eintracht has to go to third division 1860 Munich and the guest appearance at the Hungry Lions could prove to be a very tricky task.

Especially since Frankfurt only had to give up its sails two years ago, in the 2018/19 season, in round 1: At that time with 1: 2 at SSV Ulm.

And this year?

In the past season, 1860 was on a path to promotion to the second Bundesliga for a long time, but in the end it was only tables. of the 3. League.

The Munich team’s shape for the first round in the DFB-Pokal seems to be right, as the victory at the Totopokal shows, in which the second division Würzburger Kickers was defeated in the final.

The Bookmaker Still see the Frankfurters as very clear favorites in the duel with the “sixties”, as the DFB Pokal odds show.

Karlsruher SC – Union Berlin

Saturday, September 12th, 2020, 6:30 p.m.

Second division against Bundesliga is the name of the game in the first-round duel between Karlsruher SC and Union Berlin.

Such constellations are always very dangerous for Bundesliga clubs – even if the KSC in the 2nd Bundesliga is more likely to be found in the lower third of the table.

The Berliners can point out, however, that they have never been out in the 1st DFB Cup round in the past four years. In the preseason, the “Iron” even stormed into the quarter-finals, where it was over against Bayer Leverkusen.

Thus, the quality of Union should also be enough for the KSC to reach at least the 2nd round for the fifth time in a row.

In any case, Union comes to Karlsruhe with the self-confidence from a 2-1 test match win against 1. FC Nürnberg.

Hansa Rostock – VfB Stuttgart

Sunday, 9/13/2020, 3:30 p.m.

Hansa Rostock against VfB Stuttgart – wasn’t there something?

Right! Two years ago there was this duel in the first round of the DFB Cup and at that time the Rostock team prevailed.

Will the Stuttgart team take revenge this year or will the third division win again against the Bundesliga team?

Even the best Football betting provider do not see the discrepancy in the DFB Cup bets and odds as large as it should actually be due to the league affiliation.

In any case, one has been warned in Stuttgart because of the events two years ago. The Rostock hurdle should definitely be overcome despite the injury-related failure of striker Nicolas Gonzalez.

Also for the reason to start the new season with a positive feeling – because for VfB it will be the Candidates for the Bundesliga relegation is counted, hard enough.

MSV Duisburg – Borussia Dortmund

Monday, 9/14/2020, 8:45 p.m.

The small Revier derby between MSV Duisburg and Borussia Dortmund concludes the first round of the DFB Cup.

The starting point is very clear: here the third division team who gambled away the almost certain promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in the preseason, there the number 2 in German football with master ambitions and Champions League regular.

But it is precisely such constellations that make the cup competition so dangerous for the “big ones”.

In addition to the Dortmund quality, the statistics also speak for the rise of BVB: The last time Borussia Dortmund was eliminated in the DFB Cup in round 1 was 2006 at Eintracht Braunschweig.

If you believe in a surprise coup by the MSV, the “Duisburg goes further” odds would be a very tempting option. At Bet3000 there is a Duisburg rise the odds of 11.0. (Quota status: 9.9.2020, 8:15 a.m.)

The black and yellow will definitely want to prevent such a disgrace …

… after all, they don’t just belong to the favorites for the cup victory, but also have the gold cup as a season’s goal.
