A place in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal will be on the line on Wednesday when Saarbrucken and Borussia Monchengladbach lock horns at the Ludwigsparkstadion.
The Bundesliga outfit have failed to taste victory on their travels since September and will head into the midweek tie desperate to end this dry spell.
Saarbrucken were denied their first win of the year last Friday when they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund II U23 in the 3.Liga.
Rudiger Ziehl’s men have now failed to win their four matches across all competitions in 2024 — losing twice and claiming two draws — a run which has seen them drop to 12th place in the 3.Liga table.
Saarbrucken now turn their sights to the DFB Pokal, where they are the giant-slayers, having brushed aside Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt en route to the quarter-finals.
Borussia Monchengladbach, on the other hand, failed to find their feet in the Bundesliga as they fell to a 3-1 loss against title-chasing Bayern Munich last Saturday.
Gerardo Seoane’s side have now gone three consecutive games without a win, picking up one point from a possible nine in the league, where they are currently 13th in the table, six points above the danger zone.
Monchengladbach will now look to find their feet in the DFB Pokal, where they have enjoyed a fine run to the quarter-finals, scoring 11 goals and conceding just once in their three matches so far.
