Elversberg: lessons to learn after Leipzig
Elversberg made a bright start to their debut Bundesliga season, beating Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach. They couldn't sustain that momentum, though: after losing to Bayern Munich they drew with Schalke, lost to Union Berlin, then beat Augsburg in a high-scoring match. The most recent matchday brought a heavy defeat to RB Leipzig. After a goalless first half, they conceded four goals and managed just one shot on target across the entire match compared to six for their opponents. Over seven matchdays the club have collected 10 points, scored 12 goals and conceded 15. The results suggest the team are capable of causing problems for strong opponents, but consistency has so far been lacking.
In the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Vincent Wagner's side won away at Duisburg. They now face Darmstadt, who play in the 2. Bundesliga. Elversberg have enough attacking quality to be genuine contenders for a place in the next round, but after the Leipzig defeat it will be important for the hosts to sort out their defensive issues and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Match Results: 07 Elversberg

Darmstadt: Cup Format Offers a Chance for Redemption
Darmstadt are going through an inconsistent spell in the 2. Bundesliga and currently sit in the lower half of the table. After beating Energie Cottbus, they suffered a heavy defeat to Karlsruhe and then drew with St. Pauli. Through nine matchdays, the club have collected just eight points, scoring eight goals and conceding 18. Particularly concerning is that in two of their last four defeats they conceded at least four goals.
In the first round of the DFB-Pokal, Florian Kohfeldt's side beat Carl Zeiss Jena and will now face Elversberg, who play in the Bundesliga. The hosts come into the match on the back of a heavy defeat to RB Leipzig, so the visitors have a chance to take advantage of their opponents' poor result. The cup format gives Darmstadt an opportunity to improve on their league form and fight for a place in the next round.
