Bayern starts in the DFB Cup: duel at Wehen Wiesbaden ahead!
The anticipation among football fans is great because the DFB Cup is just around the corner! FC Bayern Munich opens the first round with an away game against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. This exciting pairing was announced at the draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund. The first round of the cup will take place between August 15th and 18th, 2023, although Bayern will only get on track on August 26th and 27th due to the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. Defending champion VfB Stuttgart awaits Eintracht Braunschweig, a second division team, in its first game.
FC Augsburg, under the leadership of new coach Sandro Wagner, makes its debut against Halleschen FC from the Regionalliga Nordost. Another interesting duel awaits the fans when 1. FC Nürnberg (second division) meets FV Illertissen. In addition, SpVgg Greuther Fürth plays against TuS Blau-Weiß Lohne and Arminia Bielefeld has Werder Bremen as their opponents - an exciting new edition since Bielefeld won against Bremen in the quarter-finals last season.
The path to the final
The dates of the games are still pending, but the further rounds have already been determined. The second round is scheduled for October 28th and 29th, 2023, followed by the round of 16 on December 2nd and 3rd, 2023. Whoever makes it to the quarterfinals will have to prove themselves in February 2024, while the semifinals are in April. The grand final will then be played on May 23, 2026 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, and the anticipation is palpable because the DFB Cup has its own magic.
Particular attention is paid to Borussia Dortmund, which enjoys a high level of relevance both in terms of local politics and sport. They compete in the Ruhrpott derby at Rot-Weiss Essen. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen will play against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, and Eintracht Frankfurt will move into the first round with an away game against Oberliga side FV Engers from Rhineland-Palatinate. The fans will certainly get their money's worth on these exciting days.
Shape curves and statistics
In the upcoming season, the teams not only had a lot to do, but are also under pressure to assert themselves. The teams' form curves are often a good indication of expectations. Arminia Bielefeld have performed impressively in their last five home games and have a win rate of 83%, while Stuttgart remain unbeaten and have achieved a 100% win rate. A look at the statistics shows that goal difference and hit rate can be decisive. Stuttgart scores an average of three goals per game – a remarkable figure!
1. FC Köln's most recent experience shows a solid performance. They have performed strongly in recent games, resulting in a win rate of 75%. The atmosphere in the stadium will certainly be heated, especially when Jahn Regensburg welcomes Bundesliga returnees 1. FC Köln.
The cup tournament promises excitement, drama and unpredictable twists and turns. It remains to be seen which team will triumph in the end and lift the trophy. One thing is certain: fans can look forward to an exciting football festival!
