Team Reviews
SV Wehen Wiesbaden are a 3. Liga side hosting this DFB-Pokal first-round match at Brita-Arena, facing a daunting challenge against Bayern Munich. Their season started three weeks ago with a mixed bag: a 3-1 win over Ulm, a 2-2 draw at Verl, and a dramatic 4-3 home loss to Rot-Weiss Essen, leaving them with four points from three games. They’ve shown attacking intent, averaging 2.7 goals scored per game, with new signings Lukas Schleimer (ex-Nürnberg) and Simon Stehle adding flair on the wings. However, their defense has been shaky, conceding 2.3 goals per match, and injuries to Florian Hübner (back), Robin Kalem (groin), Orestis Kiomourtzoglou (muscular), and Ben Nink (muscular) weaken their backline further. Coach Nils Döring’s 4-4-2 setup relies on Justin Janitzek and Jordy Gillekens at center-back, with goalkeeper Florian Stritzel needing to be at his best to keep Bayern at bay. Wehen’s cup history is modest, with their best run being a quarter-final loss to Hamburger SV in 2008/09, and they’ve failed to progress beyond the first round in recent years against top-flight teams like Mainz 05 (3-1, 2024) and RB Leipzig (3-2, 2023).
Bayern Munich are in scintillating form, kicking off the 2025/26 season with a 2-1 Franz Beckenbauer Supercup win over VfB Stuttgart and a 6-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Harry Kane’s hat-trick and Luis Díaz’s debut goal against Leipzig highlight their attacking prowess, with Michael Olise also chipping in with a brace. Bayern have scored eight goals in two competitive matches, conceding just one, and their depth allows coach Vincent Kompany to rotate without losing quality. Injuries rule out Alphonso Davies (knee), Hiroki Ito (foot), Jamal Musiala (ankle), and Tom Bischof (appendix), while Manuel Neuer is suspended, meaning Jonas Urbig will likely start in goal. Despite these absences, Bayern’s squad, featuring Joshua Kimmich, Raphael Guerreiro, and Dayot Upamecano, is formidable. Their DFB-Pokal record is unmatched, with 30 consecutive first-round wins since 1995/96, and they’ve lost just once to a third-tier side since 2001.
Head to Head
This is the first competitive meeting between SV Wehen Wiesbaden and Bayern Munich’s senior team, making historical data limited. Wehen have faced Bayern’s reserves 28 times in lower leagues, with a balanced record (11 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses), but this offers little insight into facing Bayern’s first team. Given Bayern’s dominance in cup openers and Wehen’s struggles against top-flight sides, the head-to-head dynamic favors Bayern heavily. Expect a high-scoring game, as Bayern’s recent cup matches against lower-tier teams average over four goals, while Wehen’s defensive vulnerabilities could lead to a lopsided scoreline.
Prediction
Bayern Munich’s firepower and impeccable cup record make them overwhelming favorites. I predict a 4-0 win for Bayern, with their rotated squad, likely featuring Kane, Díaz, and Olise, exploiting Wehen’s injury-hit defense early and often. Wehen may try to counter through Schleimer or Stehle, but Bayern’s defensive solidity and Urbig’s experience in goal should keep a clean sheet. Bayern’s win probability is around 85%, reflecting their superior quality and Wehen’s struggles against elite opposition. Watch for Bayern to dominate corners and possession, potentially racking up a big score if they click early.
