A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: DFB Pokal 2nd Round
Stadion An der Alten Forsterei - Berlin
Wednesday, 29th October 2025 - kickoff 20:45 CET
Union Berlin
Union Berlin is struggling for consistency this season, failing to connect two good performances in a row. They won twice, lost three times, and drew once in their last six, which makes it tricky to back them regardless of who they play.
Last weekend, Union Berlin created only two chances throughout the whole game in the disappointing 1-0 Bundesliga defeat against Werder Bremen.
They should do better against Arminia Bielefeld here, but the last time they faced them in the DFB Cup, exactly a year ago, they lost 2-0 in Bielefeld.
Regarding home matches, Union Berlin has generally played better this season. They lost just once in four games, winning twice and drawing once.
Arminia Bielefeld
Arminia Bielefeld surprisingly beat 2.Bundesliga leaders SV Elversberg with 2-0 last weekend. They inflicted their opponents their first loss after four wins in a row, which adds even more weight to Arminia Bielefeld’s win.
Also, it was Arminia Bielefeld’s first win after losing four matches in a row, so now they breathe more easily before this cup match. Still, Arminia Bielefeld is not a good side overall, having put in average displays so far in Germany’s second division.
Arminia Bielefeld is winless in three games on the road, losing their last two by conceding seven goals.
The Betting Verdict
Union Berlin is not consistent, but they have a better team overall.
Arminia Bielefeld lost four in a row before their shocking win last weekend, but that doesn’t mean that their fortunes have changed. They are still leaking goals and are unstable, which could prove decisive against a Bundesliga side.
I expect Union Berlin to get revenge for the DFB Cup elimination by Arminia Bielefeld last season, so back them to win this game at good odds.
