Before the game
Since the first round matches in the DFB Cup between Leipzig and Bayern Because the Supercup couldn’t be played on the cup weekend, both teams had to play during the week.
Against second division team Wehen Wiesbaden, RB trembled one round further with 3:2. Leipzig coach Marco Rose (47) is anything but satisfied with his team’s performance: “In the end we completely lost control, you have to say that honestly. We need to talk about this.”
Such a performance will not be enough for the Saxons against Bayern. “We know that we need a top performance. We’ve shown it twice now in Munich, why not at home with our fans behind us,” said the 47-year-old confidently before the game against Bayern.
Before the top game against Leipzig, the Munich team and coach Thomas Tuchel are primarily worried about their long list of injuries. Matthijs de Ligt (24/hit), Serge Gnabry (28/broken forearm) and Manuel Neuer (37/broken tibia and fibula in a skiing accident nine and a half months ago) are definitely missing from Tuchel.
There is hope for Dayot Upamecano (24), Minjae Kim (26) and Thomas Müller (34). All three were missing against Münster last time out due to complaints.
