The game between Bavaria and Wiesbaden is the end of the first cup round. The Bundesliga club goes into the field as a favorite.
This is how FC Bayern starts:
It was already in advance that Jonas Urbig represents the goal instead of Manuel Neuer. The 2014 world champion saw the red card at the round of 16 of the German record champion against Bayer Leverkusen last season for an emergency brake. Accordingly, he is still closed to the first round game.
Min-Jae Kim, Raphaël Guerreiro and Sacha Boey are also new to the starting eleven in defense as well as Aleksandar Pavlović and Lennart Karl in midfield. Against Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano, Josip Stanišić, Konrad Laimer, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry were still on the pitch.
At the sold-out duel in the Brita Arena, the people of Munich go into the game as a clear favorite and for the first time meet the Wiesbadener in a competitive game. The outsider was recently unable to collect confidence: the team of coach Nils Döring recently had to accept a bitter 3: 4 against Rot-Weiss Essen in the league.
