DFB-Pokal Matchday Preview: Bayern Munich vs. Red Bull Leipzig
"Bayern Munich got back on track over the weekend, smashing 10-man Hoffenheim with a 5-1 scoreline. Bayern's DFB-Pokal opponent, RB Leipzig, can sympathize with Hoffenheim because Bayern has run through Leipzig twice this season, 6-0 in August and 5-1 two weeks ago. Bayern is a heavy betting favorite to win the German cup, despite failing to advance to the semifinal for the past five seasons."
"Location: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany Date: Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 Time: 8:45pm local time (2:45pm EST) Odds: Bayern (-330), Draw (+475), Leipzig (+650) Here is the predicted lineup, courtesy of BFW: IN: Konrad Laimer, Lennart Karl OUT: Josip Stani61i07, Serge Gnabry Konrad Laimer, calf (questionable) Raphaël Guerreiro, calf (questionable)"
"Three things to know about Leipzig Bayern wins 3-1. Michael Olise will score twice in the first half to give Bayern a resounding lead in front of the home crowd. Leipzig will steal one back from a set piece early in the second half. Super sub Jamal Musiala will immediately come on the pitch, dribble through three defenders, and lay off a tap-in for Harry Kane."
Bayern Munich enters the DFB-Pokal quarterfinal after a 5-1 win over 10-man Hoffenheim and earlier 6-0 and 5-1 victories over RB Leipzig this season. The tie is scheduled for February 11, 2026 at Allianz Arena with kickoff at 8:45pm local (2:45pm EST); betting lists Bayern at -330 and Leipzig at +650. Predicted lineup changes include Konrad Laimer and Lennart Karl in while Josip Stani61i07 and Serge Gnabry are out; Laimer and Raphaël Guerreiro are questionable with calf issues. Bayern have scored at least three goals in each cup win this season but have not kept a clean sheet. Harry Kane leads the competition with five goals, and match predictions include Michael Olise scoring twice and Musiala creating a Kane tap-in.
