1860 Munich vs Karlsruhe Prediction
1860 Munich are the only third division side left in the competition and enter the game as rank outsiders to secure progress. However, the hosts are currently on a good run of form and this could spur them on at their own ground.
Karlsruhe have also impressed and their consistency this season has put them in the race for promotion to the Bundesliga. Both sides have enough quality to find the back of the net but we are backing the visitors to secure progress with a narrow victory.
Prediction: 1860 Munich 1-2 Karlsruhe
