Match preview

HEBC host Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 64 of the DFB Pokal. The home side enters this cup tie with mixed recent form, having won two and lost three of their last five matches across all competitions. Their home performances have been particularly difficult, failing to score in each of their last three home fixtures, including a 0-1 defeat against Vorwärts-Wacker 04, a 0-1 loss to HT16, and a 0-3 defeat against Niendorfer TSV.

Borussia Dortmund come into this tie on the back of strong preparation and competitive fixtures. In their last five outings, Dortmund have secured wins against Hamburger SV (2-0), Arsenal (3-2), and FC Tokyo (1-0), along with a 2-2 draw with AS Roma and a narrow 1-2 loss to Bayern München. They have consistently produced multiple goals against elite opposition.

While Dortmund will be without several injured players including R. Bensebaini, E. Can, M. Kaba, and N. Schlotterbeck, their superior quality across the pitch is expected to dictate the tempo against an HEBC side that has struggled for goals on home soil.

Over 2.5 Goals — 84% confidence

Dortmund have demonstrated high-level attacking output across their recent fixtures, scoring at least twice in four of their last five matches against teams like Hamburger SV, AS Roma, and Arsenal. HEBC have conceded three goals against Niendorfer TSV and two against ETSV Hamburg in recent games. Given the gulf in class between the sides in this cup fixture, match goals are likely to surpass the 2.5 line.

No — 78% confidence

HEBC have failed to score in each of their last three home matches, suffering shutouts against Vorwärts-Wacker 04 (0-1), HT16 (0-1), and Niendorfer TSV (0-3). Dortmund have recently recorded shutouts against Hamburger SV and FC Tokyo. Even with injuries to defenders N. Schlotterbeck and R. Bensebaini, Dortmund possess sufficient control to limit HEBC's chances and keep a clean sheet.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
