Borussia Monchengladbach will invite St. Pauli to Borussia-Park in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 on Tuesday. Both teams were eliminated from the round of 16 of the competition last season.
The hosts have been in good touch recently, and they are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions. Their winning streak ended after four games last week, as they were held to a goalless draw by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. They overcame Karlsruher in the second round in October.
The visitors have registered just one win in their last 10 games in all competitions, with that triumph registered in the DFB-Pokal second round against Hoffenheim. They met Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last week and fell to a 3-1 away loss, suffering their fourth consecutive defeat.
