Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A place in the DFB Pokal semis will be at stake when Saarbrucken and Borussia M’gladbach lock horns at Ludwigspark Stadion. The 3. Liga side aim to build on a 2-0 win over Aue and, no doubt, they are eager to claim a major scalp in the German Cup quarter-final. The fact that Saarbrucken shocked Eintracht Frankfurt in the previous round is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Tuesday’s clash.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Rudiger Ziehl’s troops. As M’gladbach aim to save the season by going all the way in the DFB Pokal, we are going to bet on the Bundesliga side this time out. All Maximilian Wober, Alassane Plea, and Tomas Cvancara are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side, while Robin Hack returns to the starting XI after scoring a brace in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Koln at the weekend.
