HSV – Frankfurt Tip DFB Pokal, 2nd main round on Tuesday, 27.10.26 at 18:00 CET
Two duels within five days, on Tuesday in the cup and on Sunday in the league: two traditional clubs can hardly work much closer to each other. My HSV Frankfurt tip is based on a commonality that currently connects the two.
Namely, the shaky defense. Hamburg has swallowed sixteen goals conceded in seven Bundesliga games, Frankfurt even seventeen – accordingly, I bet on Over 2.5 goals at a 1.45, which can be easily implemented at an excellent betting provider.
How hungry for goals the Hessians can be, they proved in round one with an 11-0 win in Krefeld. If you prefer to approach the whole thing via the winner or a handicap, get a suitable sports betting bonus beforehand and bet with much more leeway!
A look at these HSV Frankfurt odds shows that the bookmakers can hardly identify a favorite despite the home advantage. No wonder: Both teams lost at the weekend, Hamburg 0:1 in Paderborn, Eintracht 0:1 in Dortmund.
The cup history is hardly an encouragement for the Hanseatic club. It is only the fourth meeting in this competition, and all three previous meetings have gone to the Hessians: in 1970 in the round of 16, in 1974 in the final after extra time and most recently in 2010 in the second round.
HSV vs. Frankfurt AI predictions:
Our HSV Frankfurt AI prediction could hardly have been closer, but in the end Draw-no-Bet: Frankfurt is ahead in terms of generated betting recommendations at odds of around 1.67. I agree with this hint.
Despite a few setbacks here and there, the individual quality in the squad speaks for the guests, while Hamburg has scored a meagre six goals in seven league games. Against Paderborn on Saturday, the Hanseatic team lacked ideas over 90 minutes.
Predicted chance of winning:

Because a cup evening under floodlights in the Volkspark still has its own laws, a draw at 3.70 is the high-risk-high-reward variant at a reputable bookies. By the way, extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not count towards this bet.
In terms of the expected number of goals, our machine clearly leans towards the guests: Eintracht have scored a good two goals there. This leads to the selection Frankfurt over 1.5 goals to 1.73 at Betano, which meets a defence that concedes an average of more than two goals per Bundesliga game.
