Although a large part of the first round of the DFB Cup has already been played, Bayern and Leipzig have to be late. The reason is the Supercup, which was held parallel to the DFB Cup at the end of July, in which the two teams were able to compete as German champions (FCB) and cup winners (Leipzig).

August 30th and 31st was selected as the catch-up date. On Tuesday Leipzig meets Ottensen in the DFB-Pokal, on Wednesday it’s Bayern’s turn against Viktoria Köln. Both games kick off at 8:46 p.m.
