LSK Hansa Luneburger vs Werder Bremen Prediction 22 August 2026
🔊 Hansa Lüneburger will host Werder Bremen in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. For the Oberliga side, this is the highlight of their season: a Bundesliga opponent, a packed crowd behind them. Lüneburger have already played two competitive matches this season and are match-sharp, while for Werder this will be their first competitive fixture of the new campaign.
Head-to-Head

Head-to-head statistics LSK Hansa Luneburger - Werder Bremen
LSK Hansa Luneburger Team Overview
Lüneburger started the Oberliga season without a win in their first two matches: Hansa lost 2-3 to Eintracht Braunschweig's second team and drew 2-2 with Meppenreserve. They did score four goals across those games, so a purely defensive approach from the hosts seems unlikely.
For Tarek Gibbah's side, match rhythm matters. Lüneburger have already played two competitive fixtures, while Werder are yet to play an official match this season. The hosts also know that a game like this carries no league table pressure.
The gap in quality, however, is enormous. If Hansa allow Werder to consistently get the ball into the box, holding out for long will be next to impossible. The hosts will need to keep the lines tight and rely on the counter-attack.

Werder Bremen Team Overview
Werder are starting the season after a summer rebuild and continue to work with head coach Daniel Thioune. They looked fairly convincing in their first four pre-season friendlies, winning all of them, but then drew 2-2 with Paderborn and lost 0-1 to French side Auxerre.
There is also extra motivation to take the cup seriously. Last season Werder made an early exit in the first round, losing 0-1 to Arminia Bielefeld, and they will be keen to avoid a repeat.
The squad situation ahead of the match is not ideal, but even with rotation the gap in individual quality remains significant. Werder have far more ability to win moments through individual quality, and having players with Bundesliga experience should be the decisive factor. The main objective is to progress without making things unnecessarily difficult for themselves. If they score early, the match could become considerably more one-sided.
Match Results: Werder Bremen
⭐ Editor's Pick
Lüneburger may benefit from home support and match sharpness, so the opening minutes could be uncomfortable for Werder. Over the full 90 minutes, though, the gap between the sides is simply too large.
Bremen have an advantage in virtually every area and should gradually take control of the game. A cup opener, possible rotation and the hosts' motivation are unlikely to keep the margin within reasonable limits. Final bet: Werder Bremen Team Total - Over 6.5. Predicted scoreline: 7-0.
