Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Regensburg and Koln go head to head at Jahnstadion Regensburg when Regensburg and Koln take on each other in the DFB Pokal last 16. Die Rothosen defeated Wehen on penalties in the previous round, but they face a difficult task in Wednesday’s football match. Talented attacker Kaan Caliskaner, who scored a late equalizer in the 1-1 draw with Darmstadt at the weekend, is pushing for a start.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, did well to beat Osnabruck 1-0 in the DFB Pokal last 16, and they are surely capable of beating Regensburg behind closed doors. Koln proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld at the weekend, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered. Even though Andersson, Cestic, Czichos, and Kainz are all out of contention through injuries, we are tempted to put our money on the Bundesliga outfit.
