National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Schott Mainz or Borussia Dortmund that keep their silverware dream alive.

There have been little to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Regionalliga: Südwest game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at FSV Frankfurt.

Schott Mainz form and stats

Schott was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the DFB Pokal.

In their previous game, the manager Ay led his Schott Mainz to a defeat away at FSV Frankfurt. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Mewa Arena. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs FSV Frankfurt) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 3-4. The defeat against FSV Frankfurt was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored nine minutes into stoppage time (by Awassi).

Previous to that game, a Oberliga: Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar home match hosting Pirmasens in a game that was won 4-1.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Borussia Dortmund to win. Let's see if Schott are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 5 games found revealing 0 Schott Mainz wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Stuttgart II are coming to town in four days.
