Fortuna Düsseldorf - Sport-Club Freiburg | 2026/27 Season | DFB Cup

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:22:45 GMT

New reality for Düsseldorf The two-time DFB Cup winners suffered the agony of relegation from Bundesliga 2 last season and start the new campaign back in Germany's third tier for the first time since 2008/09.

Freiburg's cup history The Bundesliga outfit will certainly be favourites after a proud recent cup record. They were beaten by Leipzig in their first-ever final appearance in 2021/22, and last season's defeat by VfB Stuttgart in the semi-finals marked the second time they have reached the last four since. They proved their knockout pedigree by making the final of last season's UEFA Europa League, where they were beaten by Aston Villa.

Borussia Dortmund - FC Bayern München | 2026/27 Season | Supercup

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:08:44 GMT

New Man of the Match award The Franz Beckenbauer Supercup will see the new Man of the Match award presented in partnership with adidas for the first time, including an official trophy for each game as of this season. As was the case last year, voting by fans starts from the 86th minute of each match exclusively in the Bundesliga app.

Will Saibari start? With no Musiala, Karl or Gnabry, there's a vacancy in Bayern's attack, which may mean Ismael Saibari makes his competitive Bayern debut from the start. "He has so much power and pace, and can finish. He'll play a role tomorrow," Kompany stated, before adding, "He's coming off an injury, so we'll see how things go in terms of minutes. He'll play an important role for us."

No Musiala Vincent Kompany confirmed on Friday that Jamal Musiala won't be involved in Dortmund following his recent health issues as he "adapts to the treatment". Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl are the only other senior absentees.

Newcomers straight into action? Dortmund's two newest recruits - Giannis Konstantelias and Joey Veerman - only arrived this week, but Kovač sees no issue throwing them in the Supercup deep end. "I know they're both physically fit and have minutes under the belts. I don't see any need not to include them in the squad," the BVB coach explained of their potential inclusion. Konstantinos Karetsas (pictured) is another who could make his competitive debut in black and yellow after featuring in the friendlies against Arsenal and Roma.

Trio set to return Kovač confirmed on Thursday that "the squad is pretty full" and that "we'll need to cut a few" for the Supercup. Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier and Carney Chukwuemeka (pictured r.) missed the Roma friendly but have all now trained and have a chance of featuring against Bayern. Club captain Emre Can and deputy Nico Schlotterbeck are the two long-term absentees.

2020: Bayern edge five-goal thriller Joshua Kimmich scored the winner as Bayern got their own back at the Allianz Arena 12 months later. Corentin Tolisso and Thomas Müller had twice put the home side ahead earlier in the match, with Julian Brandt and Erling Haaland levelling on each occasion. The two sides then met again at Signal Iduna Park in the 2021/22 curtain raiser, but Bayern would once again prove too strong...

Supercup returns to Dortmund in 2019 A 5-0 victory over Frankfurt in 2018 clinched a third straight Supercup title for Bayern, but they relinquished their crown the following August as goals from Paco Alcácer and Jadon Sancho earned Dortmund a 2-0 win - Borussia’s last victory over the Bavarians in the competition.

Back-to-back Bayern wins Beaten on penalties by Wolfsburg in the previous edition, Bayern claimed their first Supercup in four years in 2016 thanks to second-half strikes from Arturo Vidal and Thomas Müller in Dortmund. Carlo Ancelotti's charges were pushed all the way by Borussia 12 months later, eventually triumphing in a shoot-out following a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes.

Dortmund defend crown in 2014 Jürgen Klopp's Dortmund retained their Supercup crown in 2014 courtesy of a 2-0 victory at Signal Iduna Park. Henrikh Mkhitaryan opened the scoring midway through the first half, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting again for Borussia 17 minutes into the second.

Bayern triumph in 2012 Bayern and Dortmund first met in the Supercup at the Allianz Arena in 2012. Early goals from Mario Mandžukić and Thomas Müller helped the Bavarians claim a 2-1 victory, with Robert Lewandowski pulling one back for Dortmund in the second half. BVB would get their revenge at Signal Iduna Park 12 months later, however…

Kane unlikely to play major role The Bayern striker was apprehensive over how much he'll play against Dortmund having only recently returned to training, saying: "I've already spoken to the coach about it. It's only been a week of pre-season, but I'm used to this quick transition. I've played in these tournaments almost every year in my career."

Dortmund strengthen ahead of Supercup meeting BVB have confirmed the signing of talented Greek midfielder Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK on a five-year deal.

Eleven and counting Bayern are the most successful team in the history of the Supercup, having won it on no fewer than 11 occasions. Dortmund (six) and Werder Bremen (three) have both won the competition multiple times, while six teams - Kaiserslautern, VfB Stuttgart, Schalke, Wolfsburg, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen - have lifted the trophy once.

Level pegging at Signal Iduna Park This is the seventh time since 2013 that the Supercup has been staged at Dortmund's home. All six meetings to date have been between Dortmund and Bayern, with both sides lifting the trophy on three occasions.

Recent history favours Bayern The Bavarians have lost just one of their past 16 meetings with Dortmund, winning 12 and drawing three. Bayern are unbeaten in eight at Signal Iduna Park against Borussia, whose last win over the record Bundesliga champions on home soil was a 2-0 Supercup success seven years ago.
