Sandhausen vs. Cologne: German Cup Match Prediction
Sandhausen managed to start the season in the Third League with two wins in a row. Now the team will have to face a much more serious opponent. In the 1/32 finals of the German Cup, the hosts will play against Cologne, which was relegated from the Bundesliga last season. Will the underdog be able to beat a superior opponent on August 18?

FC Koeln
GermanyCurrent form
Cologne failed in the previous season in the Bundesliga and could not maintain their place in the top division. The team took the penultimate place in the table, having earned only 27 points in 34 matches. Now the team will play in the second Bundesliga and will try to return to the elite division as soon as possible.
Winning here is not so easy either. The first two matches of the season passed without victories for the "mountain goats". First, the visitors lost to "Hamburg" (1:2), and then played a draw with "Elfsborg" (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no serious losses before the upcoming match.

1.75Tip and bets
We believe that the hosts can make a sensation in this match. The visitors started the season very badly and need to first of all improve the situation in the Second Bundesliga in order to fight for a return to the top division. At the same time, the hosts have won two dry victories and are ready to consolidate their success in the cup. We will risk betting on the success of the representative of the Third League.
Our prediction: Sandhausen will not lose in 2.05
Bet on total
The hosts showed an excellent defensive performance, not conceding a single goal in two matches. The visitors are unlikely to field all their best players for the cup match, so Sandhausen has a chance to keep a clean sheet here too. We don't think there will be many goals in this match.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.60
Bet on the first half
With progression to the next stage at stake, the teams will likely not push things and will start the match cautiously. We suggest betting on a draw in the first half.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.45
