Exceptional Performance in Two Matches: Aspacher Anticipates Bayer Leverkusen Next
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach Prepares for Tough DFB-Pokal Clash Against Bayer Leverkusen
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach is gearing up for a challenging DFB-Pokal match against Bayer Leverkusen, set to take place on Friday at 6:00 PM and broadcast on Sky. This will be the third time Großaspach participates in the prestigious competition.
In their most recent encounter in the 2025-26 DFB-Pokal, Großaspach faced Leverkusen and unfortunately lost 4-0. The match, played on August 15, 2025, saw Leverkusen capitalising on Großaspach's captain being sent off.
The team's motto for the first-round clash in the DFB-Pokal is "Enjoy, hold our own, and see what happens". Sporting Director and former professional footballer, Julian Schieber, expressed the immense euphoria surrounding the club, attributing it to the strong start in the league.
Schieber, who has played for Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Dortmund, Hertha, and Augsburg in the Bundesliga, acknowledged the difficulty of facing Leverkusen, who won the double in 2024. However, he also noted that if Leverkusen has a "normal day at work", it will be extremely difficult for Großaspach.
Leverkusen is currently undergoing a major overhaul, with many key players, including national team player Florian Wirtz, having left the club. The new coaching team, new systems, and a changed squad will face SG Sonnenhof Großaspach in the DFB-Pokal clash.
Erik ten Hag, the new coach of Leverkusen, has a tough act to follow, as he succeeded former champion coach Xabi Alonso this summer. Despite the challenges, Schieber views the DFB-Pokal as a myth and a special competition every time.
The DFB-Pokal clash is expected to have 10,000 spectators in the sold-out arena. It's worth mentioning that this is not the first time Großaspach has participated in the DFB-Pokal. In 2009, they were eliminated by VfB Stuttgart, and in 2012, they lost to FSV Frankfurt. However, specific records or details of these matches could not be found in the available search results.
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, recently promoted to the fourth tier, has made a strong start in the league, winning their first two games with a score of 6:1 against TSG Balingen and 4:1 against Astoria Walldorf.
As for the upcoming DFB-Pokal season, there is no indication of another cup game against Leverkusen after their elimination by the 4-0 loss. The team will undoubtedly give their all in this exciting encounter, hoping to make German football history.
SG Sonnenhof Großaspach will face Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal, a competition they've participated in previously, notably in the 2025-26 season where they lost 4-0. The team's upcoming match in European-leagues football promises to be an exciting encounter, filled with the passion of sports and football.
