Bayern Munich vs Magdeburg: Match Preview

Last season, Bayern Munich finally won the German Cup, a title they had not claimed since the 2019–20 season. They will clearly be looking to defend their status as champions, both in the German Cup and the Bundesliga. In the league, the Munich side currently sit top of the table with 17 points. However, Borussia Dortmund have the same number of points, and the two teams will face each other in just a few days. Bayern are currently playing excellent football and have not lost a single match this season. Harry Kane's 2026 Ballon d'Or win is another positive for the club.

Magdeburg currently compete in Germany's second division, where they are trying to challenge for promotion to the Bundesliga. The team sit fifth in the table with 16 points after nine rounds. They are just two points behind the side in second place, so a difficult battle lies ahead. In the first round of the German Cup, Magdeburg thrashed Balingen 4-0. In their last five matches, they have recorded one defeat, three wins and one draw.

Probable lineups

• Bayern Munich: Urbig; Boey, Buchmann, Ito, Laimer; Daiber, Ndiaye; Karl, Gnabry, Saibari; Kane
• Magdeburg: Reimann; Nadjombe, Muller, McNulty, Nollenberger; Hyrylainen, Chavez, Musel; Iyoha, Zukowski, Atik

Prediction

I think Bayern Munich will be able to win and progress to the next round of the German Cup. My betting tip is Bayern Munich over 3.5 team goals.
