Borussia Monchengladbach will invite Heidenheim to Borussia-Park in the second round of the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday.
The two teams met in the Bundesliga just last week, with Monchengladbach recording a 2-1 home win. Alassane Pléa opened the scoring in the third minute for the home team and Eren Dinkçi leveled the scores in the 37th minute. An own goal from Jonas Föhrenbach early in the second half proved decisive.
Fresh from that win, the hosts will look to make it two wins in a row while the visitors will aim to avenge their defeat. Monchengladbach climbed to 11th place in the league table with that win and Heidenheim dropped to 13th place.

The hosts booked their spot in the second round with a 7-0 win over Bersenbruck while the visitors eased past Rostocker 8-0 in the first round.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Heidenheim Prediction
Die Fohlen have seen an upturn in form recently, after a slow start to their season. They have suffered just one defeat in their last four games and are unbeaten in their last two home outings. Having defeated the visitors just last week, they'll be confident of recording another win.
While Gladbach have a poor home record in recent games in the DFB-Pokal, suffering four losses in their last five games, they recorded a memorable 5-0 win over Bayern Munich in their last home outing in the competition in 2021.
Jordan Siebatcheu was substituted due to muscular pain in the 87th minute on Saturday, adding to the lengthy injury list for manager Gerardo Seoane.
The visitors have endured an inconsistent run this season and are winless in away games since August. Heidenheim have scored twice while conceding eight times in their last three away games and might struggle here.
There's nothing much to separate the two teams at the moment but Monchengladbach recorded a win in their league meeting on Saturday and should eke out another narrow victory, thanks to their home advantage.
