Analysis
The DFB-Pokal never allows a draw to stand, so this page tracks Superior's model predictions for a 64 club knockout bracket where a regional amateur champion can end up drawn against a Bundesliga title contender in round one.
How is a DFB-Pokal prediction graded once the tie is settled?
The pick and probability shown here are set before kickoff and stay fixed once the match starts, so the list is always a pre match read rather than a result dressed up as a forecast. The competition never allows a draw to stand, so where a tie needed extra time or penalties to produce a winner, that is noted next to the 90 minute score the match is graded on.
What is the DFB-Pokal and how is the draw structured?
The DFB-Pokal is Germany's national cup, a single elimination bracket of 64 clubs that mixes every Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga side with the winners of Germany's regional and amateur cup competitions. That mix is what puts a part time regional champion on the same pitch as a Bundesliga title contender in round one, on a random draw rather than anything seeded by league position.
Why does a level DFB-Pokal tie always produce a winner on the day?
Because the format has no replay to fall back on: a match still level after 90 minutes moves straight into extra time, and a shootout decides it if the scores are still tied after that. For a lower division side, that rule is an opportunity rather than a threat, since holding a bigger club to a draw turns the tie into a penalty lottery instead of a game they were always likely to lose over two legs.
