VfL Osnabrück - FC Bayern München | 2026/27 Season | DFB Cup

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:20:29 GMT

Could players return? Kompany also said that Serge Gnabry isn't yet back but should hopefully return in the coming week. Lennart Karl could also make his full comeback, but there's still no decision about Jamal Musiala. "We have a daily talk, which we haven't had yet. Then we'll decide. It's a question of choosing the right moment. I can't say if that's tomorrow, the weekend or next week," the Belgian explained.

Urbig to start Kompany confirmed on Tuesday that Jonas Urbig will be in goal for this cup tie and hinted that he will continue in further rounds.

Timo Schultz on facing Bayern "This is the cup and the cup has its own laws, as the saying goes. We want to and will make it as tough as possible for Bayern. We've got nothing to lose and know that a lot has to come together, but we start at 0-0, 11 vs. 11 - and anything is possible in football."

Vincent Kompany on facing Osnabrück "They had a lot of success last season with a compact defence and being dangerous on counters. It didn't work that well in the first few games, but then they found that compactness again against Bochum. These are never easy games. If we have a good day, things work out often enough."

First round specialists Bayern have a stellar record in the first round of the DFB Cup. In fact, the last time they failed to win at this stage of the competition was in the 1994/95 season, when Giovanni Trapattoni's men lost 1-0 to fourth-tier Vestenbergsgreuth.

First meeting since 2004 All three previous meetings between Osnabrück and Bayern have come in the DFB Cup second round. Die Lila-Weißen triumphed 5-4 in the teams' first-ever encounter in 1979, but the Bavarians made amends in 2001 and 2004, winning 2-0 and 3-2 respectively.

Memorable runs Newly promoted Bundesliga 2 side Osnabrück have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup. They have reached the last eight on two occasions - in 1989 and 2010, when a second-half Kevin Kuranyi goal earned Schalke a place in the semi-finals at VfL's expense.

Cup holders Bayern lifted the DFB Cup for the 21st time a little over three months ago, when a 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart completed a domestic double for Vincent Kompany's troops. Harry Kane scored all three Bayern goals in Berlin.

DFB Cup today: Hamburg-Eimsbütteler Ballspiel-Club von 1911 - Borussia Dortmund | 2026/27 Season | DFB Cup

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:24:25 GMT

HSV to host This game will not be played at HEBC's Professor-Reinmüller-Platz home, which has a capacity of 2,500. Instead, they will play host inside the 57,000-capacity Volksparkstadion - home of HSV, who Dortmund beat in the Bundesliga at the weekend. "That probably helps the Bundesliga team more than the fifth-tier team," Kovač said on Monday.

Konstantelias update Kovač also provided an update on the summer signing's ACL injury from Saturday. "We need to wait for the operation. It was a shock for all of us. It had an impact on my team and also our fans. You could sense it in the stadium. He'll come back stronger - he believes that, we believe that. And we'll help him."

Rotation Kovač has confirmed that Alex Meyer will be in goal in place of Gregor Kobel. As for his outfield players, the 54-year-old explained, "We'll see how the guys who played at the weekend feel." Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck are still injured, joined now by Konstantelias, while Ramy Bensebaini is suspended for two games in the DFB Cup after his red card in the Supercup.

Niko Kovač on facing HEBC "We're the favourites. We want to go through. We'll have lots of possession, a lot of dominance. The opposition will sit deep and try to do something from counters or set pieces. It's on us to turn things our way as quickly as possible to we can advance to the next round."

Better late than never Dortmund are kicking off their DFB Cup campaign over a week later than the rest of the Bundesliga - apart from Bayern Munich - due to their involvement in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on 22 August. Kovač's troops were beaten 2-1 by the Bavarians at Signal Iduna Park.

New arrival sidelined Summer signing Konstantelias will play no part in Tuesday's tie, however, after being ruled out for several months with a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament. The Greece international suffered the injury early in the second half of Saturday's victory.

First appearance in 91 years. HEBC play in the Oberliga Hamburg in the fifth tier of the German football pyramid. The club finished 13th in the league last season but qualified for the DFB Cup by beating Vorwärts-Wacker in the final of the regional Hamburg Landespokal. They last competed in the competition back in 1935.

Five-time winners Dortmund last won Germany's domestic cup competition in 2021, when Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland scored two goals each in a 4-1 final victory over RB Leipzig at Berlin's Olympiastadion. BVB also lifted the trophy in 2017, 2012, 1989 and 1965.
