In a match that has many German fans salivating, Bayern Munich will host Bayer Leverkusen in a DFB-Pokal showdown that feels like it is happening WAY too early in the competition.
The Bavarians are coming off of a hard-fought draw with Borussia Dortmund in front of The Yellow Wall, while Bayer Leverkusen pulled out a 2-1 victory over Union Berlin. Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen already battled to a draw in the Bundesliga, but that does not matter right now. This is the DFB-Pokal, where you can throw all recent results and the Bundesliga standings out the window.
Already an intense game, Bayern Munich will have to play without injured striker Harry Kane, who is out with a hamstring injury. That should put the full spotlight on the prized youngsters from both teams — Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala and Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.
