Match preview: ULM vs Elversberg
Ulm takes on Elversberg at Donaustadion in a DFB Pokal Round 1 matchup. Historical encounters at this venue favour the home side, who have won 2 of the last 3 matches while the other ended in a draw. However, the last match held here in the 2. Liga on 22‑02‑2025 ended in a stalemate (0‑0). It’s vital to closely examine both teams’ home and away performances, as ULM’s results can vary significantly depending on the venue.
Team analysis: ULM
The home side enters this DFB Pokal season aiming for a favourable outcome, utilising their home advantage. ULM is markedly stronger at home; in their last 30 games as visitors, they have recorded 1 win, 7 draws, and 7 defeats, compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at their own ground. Their recent match saw them triumph 1‑0 against Erzgebirge Aue in the 3. Liga. Over the last 10 home encounters, ULM has notched up 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. Impressively, they have scored at least once in each of their last 10 matches. In their past 13 home games across all competitions, notable statistics include scoring 7 of their 18 goals between the 46th and 60th minutes, while conceding 5 of their 12 goals in the final 15 minutes (76th to 90th).
In their last 10 home fixtures, ULM averaged 1.67 goals scored and 1.17 conceded. The team typically employs a 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring a solid back line that supports the attack while being alert to quickly transition back when necessary. The defensive midfielders help close down central spaces and bolster goal protection, whilst the attacking midfielders look to create opportunities both centrally and from the wings, using vertical and diagonal passes towards the striker. The forward often operates in isolation, pressing the opposing defence for mistakes. ULM aims to balance their offensive ambitions with defensive sturdiness but can struggle when opponents exploit vulnerabilities behind the defence or attack down the flanks.
Team analysis: Elversberg
The visiting side is keen to leave an impression in this DFB Pokal competition by aiming to secure a positive result and catch the home team off guard. Elversberg is relatively unaffected by the home/away dynamic; their results are quite similar in both scenarios. Over the last 30 matches, they have secured 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses when playing away, with a goal tally of 22 scored and 16 conceded. At home, they achieved 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, scoring 29 and conceding 21. They approach this match following a 2‑0 defeat to VFL BOCHUM 1848. In their last 10 competitive fixtures, Elversberg has achieved 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 defeats. Their defence requires refinement as they have conceded in 8 of those last 10 encounters, yet their attack has remained consistent, scoring in 8 of those matches. Out of the 15 games in which they conceded first, they have managed to fight back in 2.
In the last 10 matches, Elversberg averaged 1.8 goals scored and 2.2 conceded. The team generally favours a 4-3-3 formation, involving compact, lateral defenders who provide offensive support while solidifying their back line. Three midfield players orchestrate gameplay: the defensive midfielder shields the defence, while the two attacking midfielders foster superiority in build-up play and distribute passes to forwards. The three forwards stretch the opposition and search for openings on the flanks, with the striker capitalising on opportunities in the box or receiving through balls. When playing away, Elversberg focuses on maintaining possession and structured build-up, attempting to exploit errors from opponents and seize control of critical match moments, despite occasionally struggling with rapid counterattacks.
