At Olympiastadion Berlin on 28 October 2025, Hertha BSC face SV Elversberg in a DFB-Pokal fixture featuring two Bundesliga 2 sides aiming to make a deep cup run. Hertha have shown stronger form this season, particularly at home, while Elversberg arrive struggling for results on their travels.
Both Teams Likely to Find the Net in Open Cup Encounter
The selection here is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Hertha’s home performances have been solid this campaign, marked by more fluid attacking play and improved confidence in the final third. Despite their recent narrow 1:0 win in the league, their matches tend to produce chances at both ends - partly due to a defense that still allows opponents opportunities. The Berliners often attack with width and commit players forward, which can leave space for counters.
Elversberg’s Away Form Suggests Goals at Both Ends
Elversberg were recently beaten 0:2 away at Arminia Bielefeld, underlining their issues on the road. However, they remain an enterprising team that usually manages to score, even against stronger opponents. Their attacking duo of Schnellbacher and Rochelt has been effective in exploiting defensive lapses, especially in open games like cup ties. Given Hertha’s attacking momentum at home and Elversberg’s tendency to push forward when behind, this matchup is well set for both sides to get on the scoresheet.
