The game will be played at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany, with kick‑off scheduled for 20:45 local time (CEST). It is a second‑round tie in the DFB‑Pokal knockout competition.
Köln enter the match with a significant injury list: centre‑backs Timo Hübers, Luca Kilian and Rav van den Berg are all unavailable, and winger/midfielder Jan Thielmann is also sidelined. For Bayern Munich, key absentees include Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Itō; Bayern captain Manuel Neuer is suspended.
Köln’s coach Lukas Kwasniok is expected to set his side up in a compact three‑at‑the‑back formation (3‑4‑3) focused on defence and transition, seeking to frustrate Bayern and exploit set‑pieces and quick counters. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany is likely to stick with their high‑pressing, dominant‑possession style, deploying his front players to overload Köln’s weakened defensive flanks and maintain tempo to control the tie.
Press coverage ahead of the game largely portrays Bayern as overwhelming favourites, emphasising their unbeaten start to the season and record‑equalling run of 13 wins from 13 matches. Köln are cast as underdogs: respected for their spirit and home crowd, but battling serious defensive injury problems and a patchier recent run of form.
In the studio analysis panels the key talking points are Bayern’s defensive solidity and attacking variety versus Köln’s injury‑hit back‑line and limited firepower. Analysts expect Bayern to dominate early and possibly win by multiple goals, but some warn that knockout football can bring surprises and that Köln’s set‑piece threat and home support must not be discarded.
