Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor will host Tuesday’s German Cup game between Darmstadt and Borussia M’gladbach. The Lilywhites are on a four-game winning run in 2. Bundesliga, and, no doubt, they are determined to secure promotion to the German top flight. A man to watch in the home team will be Phillip Tietz, who scored the winner against Karlsruher at the weekend, while all Mathias Honsak, Fabian Schnellhardt, and Klaus Gjasula remain in the recovery room.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Since Darmstadt are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. As for the visiting team, all Doucoure, Kramer, Itakura, Neuhaus, and Wolf should miss out with injuries, while both Herrmann and Ngoumou remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Christoph Kramer):
Christoph Kramer is a German midfielder born in Solingen on 19 February 1991, and he is most famous for helping Germany lift the 2014 World Cup trophy. The defensive midfielder came to prominence after signing for Bayer Leverkusen, but it was the loan spells with VFL Bochum and Borussia M’gladbach that seriously aided his development.
Kramer received a surprise call up to Joachim Low’s World Cup squad, and he made a total of three appearances in Brazil, even starting the final against Argentina. The midfielder, however, suffered a concussion just after the half hour mark and he later confessed that he couldn’t remember anything from the most important game in his career.
Kramer remained a member of the Germany national team, making three appearances in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, and there is plenty of time for him to represent the country at another major tournament, playing a more important role than the one he had at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Highlighted Team (Monchengladbach ):
Borussia Monchengladbach is a German football club founded in 1900 in West Germany. The club is currently playing in the highest German football division: The Bundesliga. The club from Northrine Westfalia hosts its home games in the Borussia-Park stadium. The Borussia Park stadium is one of the biggest stadiums in Germany and holds a capacity of 55 000 spectators.
