From the source
The Vonovia Ruhrstadion plays host to a tasty second-round DFB Pokal tie on 27 October as VfL Bochum 1848 welcome FSV Mainz 05 under the floodlights.
Cup pedigree between these two sides is rich: Bochum triumphed on penalties in 2020, while Mainz claimed a 3-1 victory in 2022. For Bochum, this represents a rare chance to topple Bundesliga opposition on home soil.
Mainz, though, arrive with ambitions of their own, fully aware that underestimating the hosts in a knockout setting would be foolish. FSV Mainz 05 arrive as clear favourites at 1.67, backed by a dominant recent head-to-head record and a ruthless 9-0 cup opener that signals genuine ambition in this competition.
