Saarbruecken will take on Borussia Monchengladbach in the quarter-final of the DFB Pokal at the Ludwigspark Stadium on Tuesday.
The Bundesliga side are 12th in the domestic league standings and have managed to win just one out of their last eight matches. Their opponents, playing in Germany's third-tier, are unbeaten in their last six games, albeit around teams that are not as competitive as those in the top-tier league in Germany. A shock result is possible in knockout ties and the hosts will be banking on that aspect to make headlines in this mid-week fixture.
