Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Saarbrucken will be aiming to extend their winning run in all competitions to eight games when they host Koln at their Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion on Tuesday evening. Saarbrucken have been scoring goals for fun in the Regionalliga of late, and they are capable of matching Koln, who have been struggling in the Bundesliga in the first half of the season.
The Billy Goats sit in the danger zone in the Bundesliga table after nine rounds, and they suffered a 3-1 loss to Mainz in their last league fixture. Koln’s primary goal is to secure the top flight survival; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on Saarbrucken this time out. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sebastian Jacob, who has been scoring goals for fun this season. The 26-year-old attacker has netted 13 goals in the Regionalliga so far this season.
Highlighted Player (Ellyes Skhiri):

After spending his youth career at Montpellier, Ellyes Skhiri continued playing for la Paillade at senior level. In 2019 he moved to Bundesliga side Koln, signing a four-year contract with the Billy Goats. Shkiri was born in Lunel, France on May 10, 1995, but he has a dual citizenship as his parents are of Tunisia descent.
The Koln midfielder made debut with the Tunisian national team in a 1-0 win over Iran on March 23, 2018 and he represented Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup finals in Russia later that year. Ellyes Skhiri’s main position is defensive midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances at both right and centre back.
His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Koln until June 30, 2026. The Tunisia international made his Bundesliga debut on August 17, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Wolfsburg and he scored his first ever goal in the German top flight in a 2-1 win over Freiburg on August 31, 2019.
