This weekend is the start of the 1st round. Except for Leipzig and Bayern Munich. They do not play this weekend but at the end of September because they play against each other in the Supercup at Saturday evening.
The DFB Cup is a joy for the clubs from the lower leagues. Most of the time they lose, but sometimes there are surprises. In any case, it is an experience for the players and fans that they often never get again in life.

We have seen not that rarely that these low leagues teams in here cause huge surprises,of course not so often either but from time to time they do.Maybe because the motivation of the players from these low leagues when they face teams from the Bundesliga should be sky high as they want to showcase their skills in front of different managers and as such having a chance of improving their career.While this is great for the players of the low leagues it is very bad for us bettors who sometimes lose bets with 1.10 or lower odds as we are trying to get some sure money by betting on the teams from Bundesliga who happens to make surprise results for us.

tonight are the first matches in the dfb pokal . and the best match you can see live tonight . the ZDF broadcasts the match Braunschweig vs Schalke 04 live from 8:15pm .
the match starts at 8:45pm . i think this is the most interesting match today . will Braunschweig win at home or will Schalke win in Braunschweig ?
this match is difficult to bet . i think both teams can win today.

Victoria Köln : Werder Bremen 3:2

the first DFB cup sensation is perfect. the third league team Victoria Köln has won against Werder Bremen with 3:2 and is one round further.

Yes, Werder Bremen certainly imagined it differently. But so ist the DFB cup. There are always surprises.
Another surprise was Unterhaching from Bundesliga 3 won against Augsburg from Bundesliga 1.
There are still 4 games tonight. So there may be more surprises to come.

There are still 4 games tonight. So there may be more surprises to come. 

and there is already the next big surprise in the dfb pokal : Darmstadt 98 was eliminated today. Darmstadt 98 lost 0:3 at regional league team FC. Homburg .
who bet on Homburg today has now a little more money on the betting account . so the following Bundesliga teams are eliminated in the first round:
Werder Bremen , VFL Bochum , Augsburg and today Darmstadt 98.

tonight there is still the game VFL Osnabrück against 1:FC Köln. is there still a funny result

tonight there is still the game VFL Osnabrück against 1:FC Köln

But it remains with only one surprise. Osnabrück hoped for a long time and they also managed to take Köln to extra time. But in the end, the Osnabrück players had no more power and Köln deserved to win. Osnabrück however, fought great.
Now we have to wait until Bayern Munich and Leipzig have played their games at the end of September. Only then the draw for round 2 can be made.

yesterday was the 31 match of the first round of the dfb pokal . bayern münchen of course won 4:0 at preußen münster.
but it was a costly victory for the team from münchen : why ? Serge Gnabry broke his arm in the match and will be out for several weeks.
unfortunately, this is a bitter diagnosis for bayern. today there is also the last match of the first round:
red bull leipzig has to play sv wehen. normally leipzig should win easily there. but you never know: the cup often has its own rules and the underdog wins.

edit: after 10 minutes the favourite already leads 1:0

It was a great experience for Preußen Münster to play against Bayern Munich. Nobody assumed that they could win this game.

SV Wehen, on the other hand, played really well against Leipzig. Leipzig makes a lot of mistakes now and SV Wehen almost scored the 2:2. Maybe a surprise will really happen here.

[bct_ail]

Great game from Wehen. Both teams scored  and the final score was 3:2 for Leipzig. A great performance by Wehen and with a bit of luck they could have gone into extra time.

The draw for the next round for the DFB Cup will take place on 01 October. The matches will take place at 31 October and 01 November.

Not only clubs from Bundesliga 1 will be eliminated. There are also many teams from Bundesliga 2 will also play against each other.

It is a pity that many of the "small" clubs were already knocked out in the first round. There are only a few left that are not in Bundesliga 1 or 2. 5 teams from League 3 and only one from League 4 (FC Homburg).  Of course, many keep their fingers crossed for the small club for a win.

[bct_ail]

Last years DFB Cup winner can no longer be this years winner. Leipzig was knocked out in the DFB Cup from VFL Wolfsburg. They won 1:0. Leipzigs player Poulsen even got a red card in minute 56.
And another surprise in the DFB Cup. FC Homburg from League 4 won against Fürth (League 2). Homburg is nearly the last team that is still in the DFB Cup but not in Bundesliga 1 or 2.

yes. as i wrote a few weeks ago. the first 4 bundesliga clubs have been eliminated. leipzig,heidenheim , union berlin and 1.fc köln are no longer in it.
and tonight dortmund or hoffenheim are guaranteed to be eliminated. maybe we'll see one or two surprises in the eight games tonight but we'll see !
at 11 pm we'll all be wiser. the dfb cup is always good for a surprise.

Two teams that are not in Bundesliga 1 or 2 still have a chance today to reach the next round and bowl out either Bayern Munich or Frankfurt. But I do not think Saarbrücken will have much of a chance. Viktoria Köln would have more of a chance. As you wrote, we will know more tonight.

The other games are:

Dortmund – Hoffenheim
Sandhausen – Leverkusen
Freiburg – Paderborn
Kiel – Magdeburg
Hertha Berlin – Mainz
Nürnberg - Rostock

Good bye Hoffenheim.
Finally BVB is getting their shxt together and getting some good/ok results.
This should be enough to beat Hoffenheim at home. They still have their troubles to score but in the cup they mostly good at home.

Hopefully this will also be the case today, don't want to jinx it here. 

[Soonandwaite]

The other games are:

Dortmund – Hoffenheim
Sandhausen – Leverkusen
Freiburg – Paderborn
Kiel – Magdeburg
Hertha Berlin – Mainz
Nürnberg - Rostock

i think these green tips will advance one round today. bayern will also win and frankfurt will probably also win at viktoria köln. the only thing i'm unsure about is kiel against magdeburg. the guest from magdeburg could also win there. because the magdeburg fans will support their team in kiel very loudly.
but the dortmunden team is also unpredictable this season. this match is also sure to be highly interesting.

Wow. What a surprise and what joy in Saarbrücken. Bayern Munich is knocked out in the second round. Goal from Saarbrücken in injury time. The DFB Cup is always good for surprises and proved it yesterday

It was also a surprise that Paderborn bowled out Freiburg.

The draw for the finals of the last 16 teams will take place at sunday. Only one team from League 3 and one from League 4 left. Let us see against whom they will play.

Bayern was just hilarious.
Imagine a team of mostly national players losing ( after having a 1:0 lead ) to a 15th place 3rd devision team, these stories are only written in cup games.

I checked and saw that betting Saarbrücken would have brought a 30:1 payout, that's some nice odds. 

Also, I feel sorry for all the thousands of people that put Bayern in their parley just to make the odds a tiny bit higher, but luck for these people.
