FC Bayern Munich will face 1. FC Magdeburg in the second round of the DFB-Pokal, with Magdeburg hoping to cause an upset, according to Bulinews. The match follows a significant week for Bayern, marked by Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or. Kane is expected to play, having been confirmed available by Aaron Danks, who will lead the team in Vincent Kompany's absence.

Magdeburg has shown strong form, winning four successive home games after a difficult start to the season, including a 6-1 victory over Karlsruhe, as reported by Bulinews. The team comes off a significant win, having previously lost 6-1 to Eintracht Braunschweig. They are looking to continue their positive momentum against Bayern.

Bayern and Magdeburg have a history, with their last meeting resulting in a penalty shootout victory for Magdeburg in the 2000/01 season, according to Bulinews. The teams are expected to line up with predicted teams, with Bayern missing players like Kimmich and Neuer, while Magdeburg will be without Moritz-Broni Kwarteng and Lubambo Musonda due to injuries.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Magdeburg will hope to produce a huge upset on Wednesday night as they face the reigning DFB-Pokal champions in second round action. In a special night for both German and English football, Harry Kane won the Ballon d’Or for his performances in the 2025/26 season on Monday night. After a difficult week for the Rekordmeister – Joshua Kimmich losing a close family member and Vincent Kompany’s collapse on the training pitch – the long wait is finally over for the club as the England captain is the first winner of the prestigious award from FC Bayern in 45 years. The 33-year-old striker will be in action right away as Aaron Danks, who will once again lead the side in the absence of Kompany, confirmed his availability.
