• Date: Wednesday, 7th February 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET

Saarbrucken - the giant killer. Although the team from Saarland is a team from the third level of German football, this season, they already won against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt on their road to the DFB Pokal quarterfinal. On Wednesday night, we will see if they are capable of winning against another Bundesliga team. 

Although have a lot of success in the cup, Saarbrucken are only 11th in 3. Liga. It seems unrealistic for Rudiger Ziehl's team to get into promotion playoff contention. Since the winter break, Saarbrucken have two draws and one loss. In the previous match, they played 1-1 on the road against Borussia Dortmund II. Guests had 75% ball possession and 21 shots on the goal more than the opponents, but that wasn't enough to pick up all three points. 

Borussia Monchengladbach are struggling this season. They collected only 21 points in 20 Bundesliga matches, so Borussia are only six points above the relegation playoff zone. Gerardo Seoane's team are without a win in the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 3-1 on the road against Bayern Munich. 

Saarbrucken vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Saarbrucken to win or draw

The game on Wednesday night will be one of the biggest games in Saarbrucken history. They have already won versus two Bundesliga sides, so Saarbrucken hopes for another big victory. Borussia Monchengladbach has not won in the last seven road games, so Saarbrucken should have a solid chance to avoid defeat in this one.
