Wehen arrive at this DFB Pokal first-round tie in wretched form, losing four of their last five matches and shipping 12 goals in the process. They have kept zero clean sheets across those five games. Leverkusen, dropping into cup mode from pre-season, went 4-1 in their last five with 12 goals scored and only four conceded. Two absentees - Quansah and Eichhorn - are noted but do not alter the class gap here. The numbers are stark: Wehen conceded in all 5 of their last 5, Leverkusen scored in all 5 of theirs. A -2 Asian Handicap on Leverkusen at 1.55 (bet365) asks the visitors to win by three or more, which this level of mismatch makes realistic. That is the price worth taking.
