Key Statistics
Hamburg have the enormous league-status advantage, while Verl's early defensive numbers point toward serious problems.
The DFB-Pokal regularly produces surprises, but this is a particularly large step up in opponent quality.
Team News
Hamburg have added Patson Daka to their attack and have been restructuring the squad under the new setup.
Verl have also undergone squad changes and are still developing their current structure.
That lack of stability is particularly problematic against an opponent capable of exploiting defensive errors.
Prediction Analysis
Hamburg has depth and facing Verl, if the starting XI does not make any change, the bench can produce quality that'll be enough to handle their opponent.
