Prediction: 2-1
Schalke
Tuesday’s DFB Pokal clash at Grunwalder Stadion pits together Munich 1860 and Schalke 04. The Bavarian Lions have been anything but impressive in 3. Liga this season, with the team sitting just above the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Schalke. Despite failing to find the net in a 1-1 draw with Saarbrucken, experienced attacker Sascha Molders should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, look unstoppable in 2. Bundesliga, with the team extending their winning run to four games at the weekend. Schalke have been in a much better form of late than Munich 1860, and we predict that they are going to advance to the German Cup last 16. Both Langer and Sane are injured for the visitors, while fit-again midfielder Latza should be recalled to the starting XI.
