For the amateur footballers of Homburg, the most important game of their careers to date is coming up, the round of 16 in the DFB Cup against St. Pauli. In the first two rounds, the former Bundesliga club, which also played against St. Pauli in the top division, surprised against Darmstadt and Greuther Furth. St. Pauli could be their next victim. But Fabian Hurzeler and his team are still unbeaten this season. Most recently, the men in the brown jerseys gave up the derby victory against Hamburger SV. Homburg is leading the Regionalliga Sudwest after 20 matchdays, has won ten of the 20 games and only lost three times. They have now been unbeaten in eleven games. Homburg has earned a lot of respect this season. After the Saarlanders have already beaten Darmstadt and Furth in the cup, thr bookies are not completely ruling out a place in the quarter-finals either. Favorite St. Pauli gets quite high odds of 1.40, while Homburg's home win rate is around 7.50. Homburg and St. Pauli have already played 13 games in the 80s and 90s, including in the Bundesliga. Both teams are leaders in their respective leagues.
