Kaiserslautern vs Nurnberg
DFB-Pokal Odds: Kaiserslautern +125 vs Nurnberg +210
Tuesday, Dec 5 at 12:00 pm ET
Fritz-Walter-Stadion, Kaiserslautern, Germany
Kaiserslautern has lost 4 straight, which is one of the reasons the home side isn’t more of a favorite in this. Ah, Nurnberg, though, has lost 3-of-4 with the lone win coming against SC Paderborn.
Still, Nurnberg’s 2 victories in their last 5 suggests the road team will step it up in this. Not only that, but Kaiserslautern has lost 2-of-4 at home.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs VfL Wolfsburg
DFB-Pokal Odds: Borussia Monchengladbach +130 vs VfL Wolfsburg +190
Tuesday, Dec 5 at 2:45 pm ET
Borussia-Park, Mönchengladbach, Germany
Wolfsburg is good enough to upset Gladbach. But the home team in this has won 3 of their last 3 on their pitch. The odds difference doesn’t make backing Wolfsburg, losers of 2 of their last 3, the play.

FC Homburg vs St. Pauli
DFB-Pokal Odds: FC Homburg +1.5 -120 vs St. Pauli -1.5 +100
Tuesday, Dec 5 at 2:45 pm ET
Waldstadion, Homburg, Homburg, Germany
Both teams are in terrific form. So we really can’t go wrong either way when it comes to laying the +1.5 or accepting the +1.5.
The difference between the two teams is that St. Pauli has played great in the German Bundesliga 2 while Homburg has played almost exclusively in the DFB Pokal. St. Pauli gets the nod.

Bayer Leverkusen vs SC Paderborn
DFB-Pokal Odds: Bayer Leverkusen -2.5 -110 vs SC Paderborn +2.5 -110
Wednesday, Dec 6 at 12:00 pm ET
BayArena, Leverkusen, Germany
Leverkusen is one of the Bundesliga’s top squads. The massive chalk has won 4-of-5. The non-victory was a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund.
Bayer Leverkusen has beaten Werder Bremen 3-0 and Union Berlin 4-0 in 2 of their last 5. A 3-0 victory over Paderborn is a real possibility.

Saarbrucken vs Eintracht Frankfurt
DFB-Pokal Odds: Saarbrucken +1.5 -160 vs Eintracht Frankfurt -1.5 +135
Wednesday, Dec 6 at 12:00 pm ET
Ludwigsparkstadion, Saarbrücken, Germany
Saarbrucken is in much better form than Frankfurt, which is why the home team in this offers a -160 payout at +1.5.
Frankfurt, the Bundesliga squad, has lost 3 straight. But Frankfurt has the ability to break out with a massive game at any time. At +135, laying the -1.5 makes sense.
DFB-Pokal Pick: Eintracht Frankfurt -1.5 | Bet Saarbrucken vs Eintracht Frankfurt Today

Hertha Berlin vs Hamburg SV
DFB-Pokal Odds: Hertha Berlin +160 vs Hamburg SV +160
Wednesday, Dec 6 at 2:45 pm ET
Olympiastadion, Berlin, Germany
Hamburg shows 3 wins, a loss, and a draw in their last 5. The road squad in this is playing well enough to beat Hertha, which played in the Bundesliga last season.
Hertha isn’t playing great even after relegating to 2. Bundesliga. If the odds showed Herth the slight favorite, the home team might be a good play. But Hamburg offers the same payout. The road team gets the call.

VfB Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund
DFB-Pokal Odds: VfB Stuttgart +135 vs Borussia Dortmund +180
Wednesday, Dec 6 at 2:45 pm ET
MHP Arena, Stuttgart, Germany
It’s tough to go with Stuttgart or Dortmund in this. In past seasons, Dortmund was the easy pick. But this season, Stuttgart is outplaying Dortmund.
Which team gets it done in what should be a tough match? Dortmund offers an overlay payout. Back the road team to get it done.

FSV Mainz +126 vs Vfl Bochum +186
Tuesday, Jan. 18
Bochum has a single win in their last 5 to go along with 3 losses and a draw. Mainz shows 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5.
Mainz’s losses were to Bundesliga squads Bayern, Frankfurt, and Leipzig. One of the road team’s wins happened against Bochum. However, this is on Bochum’s pitch. The home squad is worth a look.
Soccer Pick: Bochum
Borussia Dortmund -1 ½ +117 vs FC St. Pauli +1 ½ -161
Tuesday, Jan. 18
Dortmund has won 3-of-4, which is the main reason they’re such a huge favorite to win this. All 3 victories impressed.
On Dec. 15, Dortmund beat Greuther Furth 3-0. Then on Jan. 8, Dortmund bested Frankfurt 3-2. Jan. 14 saw a 5-1 victory over Freiburg. St. Pauli has no shot to keep this close. Dortmund should easily cover the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Dortmund
Hansa Rostock +2 ½ -169 vs RB Leipzig -2 ½ +122
ednesday, Jan. 19
Leipzig is back to their best form. RBL has won 2 straight, 4-1 versus Mainz and 2-0 against Stuttgart.
Hansa gets 2 ½ goals on the handicap, but it may not be enough. In their last on Jan. 15, Hanover 96 beat Hansa Rostock 1-0. Hamburg SV dominated Hansa 3-0 on Dec. 12. Leipzig covers.
Soccer Pick: RB Leipzig
Monchengladbach -175 vs Hannover 96 +369
ednesday, Jan. 19
At first glance, Gladbach should have no trouble beating German 2 League team Hannover 96. But a closer look reveals the home dog has a big shot to win this.
Hannover has won 3-of-4. The lone loss was to 2021 Bundesliga squad Werder Bremen. Monchengladbach has lost 3-of-5. So even though Gladbach upset Bayern on Jan. 7, they’re a play against because the road chalk tends to play down to their opponent’s level.
Soccer Pick: Hannover 96
SC Freiburg +207 vs TSG Hoffenheim +107
ednesday, Jan. 19
Freiburg’s form suggests they lose this match. Dortmund absolutely pummeled the road underdog 5-1 in Freiburg’s last.
Hoffenheim shows 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss. The loss, which happened in their last, a 2-1 game versus Union Berlin, could have gone either way. Give Hoffenheim the nod.
Soccer Pick: Hoffenheim
Union Berlin +106 vs Hertha BSC +154
ednesday, Jan. 19
Hertha isn’t in great form. The home underdog has lost 2, drawn once, and grabbed a victory in their last 4.
The win was against Dortmund, though, which implies Hertha has a shot in this. Berlin heads to Hertha after a tough 2-1 win against Hoffenheim. Union won the last head-to-head. But Hertha offers overlay odds, making the home squad the play.
Soccer Pick: Hertha BSC
