Match preview: Großaspach vs Bayer Leverkusen
Großaspach and Bayer Leverkusen face off at the Mechatronik Arena in the DFB-Pokal (Round 1). There is no recent record of direct confrontations between these two sides, as they last met three years ago. Their previous encounter was on 5 July 2015, where Großaspach won 1-0 against Bayer Leverkusen.
Team analysis: Großaspach
The home side is set to play their first match in this season’s DFB-Pokal with the hope of leveraging home advantage to secure a positive result. In their last fixture, they triumphed over Astoria Wallorf with a score of 4-1 in the Regionalliga. Over their last ten home matches, Großaspach has recorded eight wins and two draws. However, they’ve struggled defensively, conceding goals in eight of those ten games, while their attack has been consistently good, scoring at least once in each of their last ten matches. Their games tend to see plenty of goals; in 17 of their last 17 home games, over 1.5 goals have been scored, and in 14 of those, over 2.5 goals. They have gone behind first in four matches but managed to turn the score around in three instances.
Großaspach’s strategy will likely centre around survival, likely taking form in a 4-4-2 setup that prioritises defence. The home team will almost entirely relinquish possession, defending with ten players behind the ball and keeping their defensive and midfield lines compact to restrict Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking avenues. They’ll aim to force the match wide and defend the flanks, relying on rare counter-attacks and set pieces for offensive opportunities. Goalkeeper Maximilian Reule will need to be at his best, while centre-backs Sebastian Schiek and Kai Gehring will focus on disrupting Bayer Leverkusen’s play. Midfielder Joel Gerezgiher will have his work cut out trying to close down passing lanes, and up front, Mike Huras will find himself isolated, tasked with battling for long balls and earning free kicks to relieve pressure on his team.
Team analysis: Bayer Leverkusen
The visiting side is making their debut in this season’s DFB-Pokal with the intent of achieving a positive result and surprising the home team. In their most recent outing, they faced Chelsea in friendlies, ending in a 2-0 defeat. Over their last ten away games, Bayer Leverkusen has won four, drawn three, and lost three. Their attack has been productive, scoring in eight of their last ten matches. Their away games have generally seen plenty of goals as well, with 23 of their last 27 fixtures resulting in over 1.5 goals. In 15 encounters, they have only managed to turn the tables once after conceding the first goal in six matches.
Bayer Leverkusen enters the pitch at a pivotal moment in their history. Following the departures of key players such as Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool, the team is undergoing a rebuilding phase under new manager Erik Ten Hag. With Wirtz gone, Bayer Leverkusen currently lacks a central playmaker in midfield; however, players like Jonas Hofmann and Robert Andrich are stepping up to take on more prominent roles in their attacking play. The team is likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-2-1 formation, depending on Ten Hag’s approach. Their tactical flexibility remains a strong aspect, enabling Bayer Leverkusen to adjust to the match’s demands and the opponent’s tactics.
