Bersenbruck vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips | August 11th 2023

Fifth-tier side Bersenbruck will welcome Borussia Monchengladbach to the Bremer Brücke in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Friday.

The hosts booked their place in the competition with a 3-0 win over SC Spelle-Venhaus in the 2022–23 Verbandspokal in May. The visitors have earned a direct place in the first round of the competition thanks to being one of the 18 teams that played in the Bundesliga in the 2022-23 season.

The hosts played their first competitive match of the season last Sunday as they got their Oberliga campaign underway with a 3-1 win over Germania Egestorf.

The visitors are set to play their first competitive match of the season on Friday and have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the pre-season, recording four wins in six games. In their last match of the pre-season, they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Montpellier.

The visitors were eliminated from the second round last season in the DFB-Pokal and will look to improve upon that record this time around.

The hosts have won three of their last four games and will look to continue that form in this match. They will play their first match in the DFB-Pokal in the 21st century and the nerves might get the better of them.

While Die Fohlen will play their first competitive match of the season, they have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the pre-season thus far, and considering their advantage in terms of squad quality, we back them to record a comfortable win.
