Koln Hosts Bayern Munich in Thrilling DFB-Pokal Clash

On Wednesday, October 29th, 2025, Koln will welcome Bayern Munich to the RheinEnergieStadion for a thrilling second-round clash in the DFB-Pokal. Both teams were eliminated from the competition last season, with Bayern Munich suffering a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16, while Koln lost out in the quarterfinals.

Koln have seen a dip in form recently, winning just one of their last six games in all competitions. They saw their unbeaten streak end last week as they lost 1-0 away to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. However, they did manage to overcome Jahn Regensburg in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, scoring twice in stoppage time.

In contrast, the visitors, Bayern Munich, have a perfect 100% record across all competitions this season. They registered a comfortable 3-0 away win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga last week, thanks to second-half goals from Joshua Kimmich, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Lennart Karl.
