Three Punchy Stats
- Frankfurt won just one of their final 13 competitive away matches last season, conceding 29 goals in the process. That record gives St Tonis a credible reason to believe the divisional gap does not make resistance impossible.
- St Tonis' last six matches averaged 5.17 total goals, with both teams scoring in 83%. Their recent football has rarely been uneventful.
- Four of Frankfurt's last five competitive away matches produced three goals or fewer. For all the difference in status, their away games have not consistently become high-scoring mismatches.

Defensive Stability
Recent defensive records for SC St Tonis and Eintracht Frankfurt are shown below.
Yet the gap between the clubs is only one part of the story.
Frankfurt arrive for their first competitive fixture of 2026-27 after a summer containing six wins from eight friendlies but ending, most recently, with a 7-0 defeat to Brentford. St Tonis, by contrast, have already started their Oberliga Niederrhein campaign with a 3-2 victory over Spvg Solingen-Wald 03. The hosts will be outsiders, but Frankfurt have enough recent vulnerabilities to prevent this becoming a simple exercise in comparing divisions.
St Tonis have reason to trust their home record
Bekim Kastrati's side have won only one of their last seven competitive matches, losing three, so their broader sequence hardly points to sustained momentum. Their home results are more encouraging.
St Tonis are unbeaten in six matches at their own venue in all competitions, winning three and drawing three. They have also shown a tendency towards open games recently: across their last six outings, they averaged 2.33 goals scored and 2.83 conceded, with both teams scoring in 83% of those matches.
That creates an unusual contrast. Their recent matches have contained plenty of goals, yet three of their last four competitive home fixtures finished with fewer than four. Against substantially stronger opposition, avoiding an early collapse may matter more than reproducing the attacking freedom seen in their 3-2 league opener.
Frankfurt's favourite status comes with a warning
Frankfurt are five-time DFB-Pokal winners and last lifted the trophy in 2017-18, but their recent record in the competition has been much less convincing. Since that triumph, they have twice gone out in the first round, twice in the second and progressed beyond the third round only twice.
Adi Hutter has returned for a second spell after previously taking charge of 141 matches between 2018 and 2021. He is also Frankfurt's third permanent manager since the beginning of last season, following an eighth-place Bundesliga finish that did not deliver European football.
The summer had largely been positive before Brentford exposed Frankfurt brutally. Five consecutive friendly victories preceded that 7-0 loss, and across their last six friendlies Frankfurt still averaged three goals per game. The concern is whether that heavy defeat was merely an ugly pre-season outlier or another sign of the instability seen away from home last term.
The away record gives St Tonis something to attack
Frankfurt won only one of their final 13 competitive away matches of 2025-26, losing seven. They conceded 29 goals and scored 18 across that run.
For St Tonis, those figures offer a clearer route into the match than Frankfurt's friendly results. The hosts do not need to dominate possession or match Bundesliga-level quality across the pitch to cause discomfort; simply keeping the contest alive would place greater emphasis on Frankfurt's recent difficulties away from home.
Team selection may add another complication. Robin Koch was forced off with concussion against Brentford, with Jeremiaha Maluze expected to come into the side. Oscar Hojlund and Raphael Onyedika are set to feature in midfield, Can Uzun is likely to operate further forward, while Jonathan Burkardt may be restricted to around 45 minutes.
St Tonis goalkeeper Tim Schrick could have Fumito Okihara, Armend Likaj and Maximilian Pohlig in front of him, with Mohamed Benktib, Adonis Milaj and Kohei Nakano among the midfield options.

Pick 1: Eintracht Frankfurt to win and Both Teams to Score @ 15/8
Eintracht Frankfurt enter this DFB-Pokal tie as overwhelming favourites against fifth-tier SC St Tonis, yet combining a Frankfurt victory with both teams finding the net offers a compelling angle. The Bundesliga side averaged three goals per game across their last six friendlies, winning five of those fixtures. That scoring capacity reflects the vast divisional gap between the two clubs. However, Frankfurt’s broader competitive away form provides clear encouragement for the Oberliga Niederrhein hosts to register a goal of their own.
Frankfurt won just one of their final 13 competitive away matches last season, conceding 29 goals during that sequence. Their pre-season preparations also concluded with a heavy 7-0 loss against Brentford, where central defender Robin Koch suffered a concussion. With Jeremiaha Maluze expected to step into defence, Frankfurt face immediate selection adjustment. St Tonis, meanwhile, have shown genuine attacking activity at home. Bekim Kastrati’s team started their league campaign with a 3-2 win against Spvg Solingen-Wald 03 and are unbeaten in six home games. Across their past six matches, St Tonis scored an average of 2.33 goals while conceding 2.83, with both teams scoring in 83% of those contests.
The chief risk to this selection is Frankfurt’s superior quality leading to a comfortable clean sheet if the hosts struggle to generate sustained chances. Four of Frankfurt’s last five away matches yielded three goals or fewer, proving they can keep margins tighter on the road. Nevertheless, St Tonis’ recent scoring frequency paired with Frankfurt’s persistent away defensive record leaves the home side well-positioned to score in defeat.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Frankfurt averaged 3.00 goals per game across their last six pre-season friendlies, winning five.
- St Tonis scored in 83% of their last six competitive matches, averaging 2.33 goals scored per game.
- Frankfurt won only 1 of their final 13 competitive away games last season, conceding 29 goals.
Risk Factor: This selection fails if Frankfurt keep a clean sheet or if St Tonis avoid defeat.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Unbeaten in 6 home matches, scoring in 83% of recent games and opening their campaign with 3 goals.
Just 1 win in their last 13 competitive away matches, coupled with a 7-0 loss to Brentford and Koch's absence.
Pick 2: SC St Tonis vs Eintracht Frankfurt 1-3 @ 10/1
A 3-1 victory for Eintracht Frankfurt provides a precise scoreline that aligns with Frankfurt’s attacking firepower while acknowledging SC St Tonis’ recent scoring form at home. Frankfurt averaged three goals per match during their six pre-season friendlies, highlighting their capacity to build a clear advantage against lower-league opposition. With creative options like Can Uzun operating in advanced areas and Jonathan Burkardt available for minutes, Frankfurt hold sufficient depth to score at least three times over 90 minutes.
On the other side of the scoreline, St Tonis possess enough recent output to justify scoring once. Bekim Kastrati’s side opened their Oberliga Niederrhein season with a 3-2 victory over Spvg Solingen-Wald 03 and have scored in five of their last six matches, averaging 2.33 goals per game in that span. Furthermore, Frankfurt’s defensive record away from home remains a concern. They managed only one victory in their final 13 competitive away fixtures last season, conceding 29 goals along the way. The absence of Robin Koch following his concussion against Brentford introduces additional uncertainty into Frankfurt’s backline.
This scoreline selection remains naturally sensitive to single-goal swings. If Frankfurt’s defensive structure holds firm, a 3-0 away win would invalidate the pick, whereas a total goal explosion beyond four goals poses an equal threat. Additionally, four of Frankfurt’s last five competitive away games featured three or fewer goals. However, combining Frankfurt’s standard friendly scoring rate with St Tonis’ 83% BTTS frequency over their past six fixtures makes 3-1 a coherent scoreline scenario.
Risk Factor: Correct score bets fail with any single extra or missing goal.
