Munich 1860 hosts Karlsruher SC in the German DFB Pokal 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 18th at Grünwalder Stadion (Munich)
For Munich 1860, reaching the 1/8 finals of the German Cup is a very serious achievement. This team is not even a leader in its division. Let me remind you that the Lions are on the tenth line in the standings of Bundesliga 3 (29 points after 20 rounds). As for performances in the cups, Michael Kollner's men first eliminated Darmstadt on penalties. The regulation and extra time ended with a score of 1-1. In the 1/16 finals, the Lions managed to beat another representative of Bundesliga 2, Schalke (1-0). In the last five cup games, Munich 1860 invariably scored at least one goal. And by the way, four of those five matches ended with an exchange of goals scored.

Karlsruher SC is one of the average performers in Bundesliga 2. The team is currently in 10th place in the standings. It scored 25 points in 18 games. The men of Christian Eichner are not waging the struggle for survival, and most likely, they will no longer be able to compete for promotion. In this case, there is an opportunity to get as far as possible in the cup. In the current draw of the tournament, Karlsruher SC has already managed to make a sensation in the 1/16 finals. The club managed to beat Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena (1-2). Before that, Eichner's squad was stronger than Lotte with a score of 1-4. In the last four away cup matches, Karlsruher SC gained three victories and one draw.
The history of head-to-head confrontations between Munich 1860 and Karlsruher started in 1946. As of now, the teams have already played 64 matches. The Lions gained 26 victories, while the Eurofighter won 25 times. Two previous matches between these opponents (in Bundesliga 3) ended with the victory of Karlsruher SC. Now we will see a cup game. Moreover, these teams now play in different leagues. It seems to me that it makes no sense to bet on the victory of one of the sides because it is very risky. I think we should bet on goals, or rather on the fact that there won't be many of them. Both teams certainly expect to get into the quarterfinals, so they will act cautiously, fearing making a mistake that could ruin everything.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
