In this match, the home advantage may be significant, as Homburg demonstrates marked discrepancies in their performances at home compared to when they are away.
Team analysis: Homburg
The home team makes their debut in this edition of the DFB Pokal with the aim of securing a positive result at home. They have shown to be significantly stronger in their stadium; in their last 30 away matches, they have recorded 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses, compared to 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses on home turf. In their last match, they suffered a 5-3 defeat to Freiburg II away. Over the last 10 home matches, Homburg has 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. They have struggled defensively, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has been consistent, scoring in 9 out of 10 games. In 15 matches, they conceded the first goal 10 times, managing to turn the score around only twice.
Homburg typically plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to maintain defensive stability with two midfielders shielding the central areas and a compact block to counter opposition run-ins. In their last 10 home fixtures, they’ve averaged 1.8 goals scored while conceding 1.2. The team aims for quick transitions upon regaining possession, accentuating wing play to generate numeric advantages in scoring areas. The striker fluidly moves between lines, while attacking midfielders support build-up play, swiftly striving for shots or vertical passes into the area. Defensively, Homburg tends to employ a relatively high line but will drop back against stronger teams to limit central combinations.
Team analysis: Holstein Kiel
The visiting team plays their first match in this edition of the DFB Pokal with aspirations of securing a positive result away. Holstein Kiel maintains encouraging performance levels in away fixtures, recording 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses over their last 30 matches away, compared to 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at home. Their last match saw them lose 0-2 to DSC Arminia Bielefeld at home. In the last 10 away matches, Holstein Kiel has achieved 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. Defensive solidity has not been a strong point, conceding goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, yet their attack has also been reliable, scoring in 7 out of 10. Historically, when playing away, there tends to be a high number of goals, with 20 of their last 22 matches featuring over 1.5 goals and 18 of those exceeding 2.5. In 15 games, they have failed to come back in 7 instances when conceding first. Notably, they scored 11 of their 26 goals in the final minutes of matches (76’–90’).
Kiel generally leans towards a 4-3-3 setup, emphasising possession and wide circulation to create openings in the opposition defence. Over their last 10 games away, they averaged 1 goal scored and 1.33 conceded. The team focuses on maintaining a defensive balance, with their midfield trio shielding the centre and transitioning with controlled possession. In attack, they prefer a gradual build-up, utilising short passes and triangles to penetrate the opposing area. When away from home, Kiel remains poised for counter-attacking opportunities while adapting quickly against aggressive pressing. The wingers retreat to assist defensively while ensuring passing outlets for the midfielders.
