Darmstadt
Match Time & Date:

03:45 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Karlsruher
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over St. Pauli and Erzgebirge Aue, Darmstadt will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Karlsruher at their Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor in the German Cup last 32. The Lilywhites have been showing signs of improvement of late, but since they are level on points with Alois Wellenreuther’s troops, a close encounter is on the cards in Darmstadt.
Karlsruher shared the spoils with each of their previous five rivals in the 2. Bundesliga, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. When the two teams met in the German second tier on October 4, 2019, they played out a 1-1 draw. Taking everything into account, we predict that the winner of this DFB Pokal tie is going to be decided in extra-time or after a penalty shootout.
