Oberachern vs Borussia M’bach – In fact, it would be difficult to find a bigger mismatch in football than the next cup game tomorrow at Waldsportplatz.
In their seven consecutive seasons in that division of the Oberliga, Oberachern has never finished higher than sixth place, with its most recent finish of 13th place.
This will be their first-ever game in the DFB-Pokal after qualifying by winning the Sudbaden regional cup last year. Manager Thomas Leberer has nicknamed it the “game of our life.”
Gladbach’s first competitive game of the year will feature the underdogs, who seek to surprise their opponents by being unprepared. On Wednesday, they defeated TuS Oppenau 4-2 to begin their regional cup defence.
Under the leadership of former Norwich City manager Daniel Farke, who has taken Adi Hutter’s position in the Gladbach dugout, the three-time DFB-Pokal champions are beginning a new era.
Although many were shocked to see Hutter leave Eintracht Frankfurt in the first place after leading them to an outstanding fifth-place finish in the 2020–21 season, it was probably not surprising to see him leave the club following just one dismal season.
Gladbach has fallen to eighth and tenth-place places since finishing fourth in the 2019–20 season and earning a spot in the Champions League as a result.
Unbeaten preseason play under Farke signals that Die Fohlen may be recovering, but with Breel Embolo and Matthias Ginter leaving for fresh opportunities and few replacements secured, supporters may need to wait before anticipating Farke’s fluid Carrow Road football to translate at Borussia-Park.
However, they couldn’t have asked for a more favourable first cup match, and a convincing win will undoubtedly give them plenty of confidence going into their Bundesliga debut against Hoffenheim the following weekend.
Oberachern vs Borussia M’bach – Betting Analysis
Gladbach should easily win this match as Farke aims to start his tenure at the club on a positive note.
The disparity in skill between both teams could not be greater, and players like Marcus Thuram and Jonas Hofmann are certainly keen to start the season off right.
Borussia Mönchengladbach has the potential to score at least a few goals against Oberachern when all things considered are taken into account. Oberachern may find it tough to register any goals at all.
Therefore, we anticipate Borussia Mönchengladbach to win by a controlled score of 0–3 (or maybe more), at the game’s conclusion.
