Prediction: 3-1
Heidenheim
Borussia M’gladbach and Heidenheim face each other in the DFB Pokal last 32 in what is going to be their second meeting in just three days. Die Fohlen defeated Heidenheim 2-1 in the Bundesliga round 9 and the hosts are seen as favourites to win the German Cup clash as well. Manu Kone is banned for the match, while all Sanches, Omlin, Wolf, Sippel, Itakura, and Friedrich should miss out with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their three-game losing run in the German top flight, home triumph should be considered. Both Marnon Busch and Florian Pick are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while the likes of Thomas Keller and Elidon Qenaj remain on the sidelines with injuries. In their last meeting in the DFB Pokal, back in 2011, Borussia M’gladbach defeated Heidenheim on penalties.
