Back to the line-ups: According to coach Tuchel, Noussair Mazraoui and Leon Goretzka are now making up the central defense for Bayern. All other players are allowed to play in their usual positions. Also interesting: Since regular goalkeeper Max Schulze Niehues is about to become a father and is missing today, Johannes Schenk is guarding the goal. And of all things, it is on loan from today’s opponent Bayern Munich.

In the first game after the team’s traditional Oktoberfest visit, Thomas Tuchel doesn’t want to take his lower-class opponents lightly. “We don’t underestimate them. We have demands, regardless of the opponent,” stated the FCB coach and added: “We prepare well and seriously, no matter who is on the other side. Of course, we have nothing to win at the moment , and the opponent has nothing to lose.”
8:20 p.m
Hildmann’s assumption that Bayern are now better coordinated than at the start of the season is no coincidence. After the record champions had a few problems in the first few games, things went much more smoothly recently. In the successful Champions League opener against Manchester United (4:3), the offense was extremely enthusiastic, and in the 7-0 win against Bochum in the league, the defense also impressed for the first time. New signing Harry Kane has hit the ground running and recently scored his first hat-trick in a red dress against VfL.
8:10 p.m
Despite the relocation, Hildmann and his players are “of course really keen” on the duel with the record champions. The promoted team got off to a solid start in the league and has been unbeaten for three weeks. A 2-0 win at SV Sandhausen was followed by a 1-1 draw in front of a home crowd against fellow promoted team Lübeck at the weekend. Now the Prussians also want to annoy the big FCB. “Just playing hare and hedgehog doesn’t help,” Hildmann made it clear and demanded of his team: “I want us to be courageous and want to play forward.” Why not? “Miracles always happen. Everything is possible in football,” said the 51-year-old.
8:01 p.m
In addition to those mentioned, Thomas Müller is also out for FCB with an adductor injury. Therefore, Luca Denk and Taichi Fukui, two players from the U23, are on the bench.

There is also a change between the posts for the home team, with Johannes Schenk replacing Max Schulze Niehues (not in the squad). Marc Lorenz and Jano ter Horst also start instead of Joel Grodowski and Rico Preißinger (both bench).
19:56
Let’s take a look at the line-ups: Bayern’s is quite tough, with Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano and Min-jae Kim all of the regular central defenders missing. In total there are five changes compared to the weekend. As expected, new signing Daniel Peretz makes his debut in goal. Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala also play for de Ligt and Kim as well as Harry Kane and Leroy Sané (both on the bench).

30 first round games have already been played, two are still outstanding. Since the DFL Supercup has been held since last season on the traditional DFB Cup weekend before the start of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern and RB Leipzig have to serve detention. And so do their opponents. For Münster’s coach Sascha Hildmann, this is a clear disadvantage. “The fact is that the postponement means we are now playing against a Munich team that is probably better at this point. At the original date, the DFB Cup would have been FC Bayern’s first competitive game of the season, while we were already in the 3rd League were in action,” stated the home team’s coach.
7:45 p.m
Hello and welcome to the DFB Cup on Tuesday evening! In a postponed first round game, third division team Preußen Münster will host FC Bayern Munich at the Preußenstadion at 8:45 p.m.!
