MT MelsungenDrawBergischer
MT Melsungen host Bergischer in the DHB Pokal on 12 November 2026. The hosts come into this knockout tie as clear favourites, having shown considerably stronger form across their recent fixtures. Bergischer arrive in difficult circumstances after a run of five straight defeats in the Bundesliga.
Team form
MT Melsungen
MT Melsungen have been competitive in recent weeks, posting 31.4 goals per game across their last five outings. They beat SC Magdeburg 37-34 at home and Stuttgart 32-27 in the Bundesliga, while also securing a 33-31 victory over Vardar 1961 in the Champions League. A 31-31 draw with Gummersbach and a 24-25 loss to Wisla Plock complete the picture. The hosts are averaging 29.6 goals conceded per game, which suggests their defence can be breached but their attack has generally compensated.
Bergischer
Bergischer are in poor shape, having lost all five of their most recent Bundesliga matches. They conceded 38 goals to Gummersbach, 37 to Fuchse Berlin, 29 to Erlangen, 27 to Rhein-Neckar and 34 to Flensburg-Handewitt. Across these five games they managed only 27.8 goals per game while shipping 33.0 per game. That defensive fragility is a serious concern heading into a knockout match against an in-form opponent.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history between these sides in the available records.
Key factors
The gulf in recent form is stark. MT Melsungen have won three of their last five matches and drawn one, whereas Bergischer have lost all five. Melsungen's attacking output of 31.4 goals per game significantly outpaces Bergischer's 27.8. More telling is the defensive comparison: Melsungen concede 29.6 per game while Bergischer leak 33.0 per game. In a knockout format, Bergischer's current defensive vulnerability and lack of attacking threat make them vulnerable to a side that has shown it can score freely. Melsungen's home advantage in a cup tie adds further weight to their position.
Prediction
The data points overwhelmingly favour the hosts. Melsungen are scoring more, conceding less, and have momentum on their side. Bergischer's five-game losing streak and poor defensive record suggest they will struggle to contain Melsungen's attack or generate enough scoring chances themselves. The model expects Melsungen to prevail with a comfortable margin.
Back MT Melsungen to win. They are strong favourites and should have too much quality for a Bergischer side in freefall. The hosts' recent form, superior goal difference and home advantage make them the clear pick for fantasy league purposes. A Melsungen victory is the most likely outcome.
