Phonix Lubeck vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

Dortmund should make light work of their lower-league opponents on Saturday. I'm on BVB to win with a minimum of four goals expected.

Head to Head

Phonix Lubeck and Borussia Dortmund will meet for the first time in Saturday's DFB Pokal encounter.

Phonix Lubeck Form

Phonix Lubeck come into this weekend's cup contest in winning form after a 3-1 victory against VfB Oldenburg in the Regionalliga last weekend. Despite being reduced to ten men in the second half, Linus Kurtz's side held on for their first league victory of the season.

Competing in Germany's fourth-tier, the home side sit 10th in the Regionalliga North division with three points collected after last weekend's win against Oldenburg.

Phonix secured their first-ever DFB-Pokal qualification as one of 24 representatives of the German football federation's 21 regional associations.

Head coach Kurtz has no reported injury issues ahead of Phonix's biggest-ever fixture.

Twenty-two-year-old forward Nico Poplawski is expected to lead a loan-furrow as the host's focal point in attack.

Borussia Dortmund Form

Dortmund return to competitive action on Saturday after picking up back-to-back victories in their final pre-season friendly fixtures. BVB scored a 3-2 win against Japanese opponents Cerezo Osaka before a 2-0 win against Aston Villa at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK last weekend.

Now under the charge of former player Nuri Sahin, Dortmund began their pre-season in less than impressive style with a 1-1 draw against Erzgebirge Aue before a 4-0 defeat versus Thai opponents BG Pathum United.

The five-time DFB Pokal winners have won nine of their last 12 away matches in this competition since 2020.

Head coach Sahin must cope without the services of summer signing Serhou Guirassy. Fellow new face Max Beier is instead likely to lead the BVB attack.

Verdict

Phonix Lubeck v Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund can stroll to victory against their lower-league opponents in Hamburg this weekend. I'm backing Dortmund to win in a game where at least four goals is expected.
