Bayer Leverkusen vs SV 07 Elversberg Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Xabi Alonso’s side will welcome Elversberg in the DFB Pokal competition.

Bayer Leverkusen will return to their base for their DFB Pokal RO16 clash against Elversberg. Xabi Alonso’s men have struggled to convert their draws into wins and have dropped points from a winning position in four of their last six games. The defending champions of Germany played out a 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen in their last outing. They will count upon their powerful attacking unit to take them over the line in this fixture. 

Elversberg on the other hand will enter the game as the underdogs and second favorites. Horst Steffen’s side have shown resilience and their attacking prowess in their last four games, but have struggled to keep things tight at the back. They will take confidence from their statement 4-2 win against Hamburger SV in their previous outing and will be aiming to pull off an upset.

Players to watch 

Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen)

The forward returned to the starting XI in style after being out of action due to a few injuries that he sustained following a car accident a few days ago. Boniface has been an instrumental piece of the puzzle for the defending champions and has dropped in jaw-dropping performances time and again. He has scored seven goals and also has an assist across all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen.

Robin Fellhauer (SV 07 Elversberg)

The German midfielder is one of the best players that Elversberg have in their current squad. He is a versatile player and can play as a right-back, centre-back and defensive midfielder as and when required. He is known for his work rate on the pitch and for making notable contributions on either end of the pitch. The 26-year-old is not only physically strong but is also known for his ball distribution abilities.
