Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Bayer Leverkusen will look to book their place in the DFB Pokal last 16 when they host Karlsruher to their BayArena. Bayer Leverkusen have been playing some high-scoring games of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Patrick Schick, while Karim Bellarabi has joined the likes of Aranguiz, Baumgartlinger, and Fosu-Mensah in the recovery room.
Karlsruher, on the other hand, sit in 8th place in the 2. Bundesliga standings. Karlsruher are not regarded as good travelers, and given their defensive display in a 3-1 loss at Dusseldorf, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the Bundesliga side. All Robin Bormuth, Sebastian Jung, Paul Lohr, and Leon Jensen are out of contention through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
