This DFB Pokal tie is a meeting between two teams from different levels, and both need this game to restore confidence after their recent league form has not looked good. Borussia Mönchengladbach have just won their latest match 3-2, but overall before that they lost two league games in a row by the same scoreline. Their defence is still clearly a problem. Karlsruher SC, meanwhile, have just been thrashed 1-6 in the league; that one match alone says their back line is in trouble, while their attack still has some moments worth watching. If the hosts dominate possession and push high as expected, the game should flow one way: Borussia Mönchengladbach pressing continuously and creating chances. Karlsruher SC will likely have to sit deep and wait to counter. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly the hosts can set up their attack. If they start fast, the game could be over as a contest by half-time.
