1860 Munchen will host Borussia Dortmund at the Grünwalder Stadion on Friday in the first round of the 2022-23 DFB-Pokal.

1860 Munchen kicked off their campaign with a 4-3 away win over Dynamo Dresden in the 3. Liga on Saturday and will now be looking to test their mettle against top-flight opposition this weekend.

The Black and Yellows are five-time winners of the DFB-Pokal, most recently lifting the title in the 2020-21 season after beating RB Leipzig 4-1 in the final.

1860 Munchen vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
1860 Munchen kicked off their league campaign with a win after suffering back-to-back defeats in their friendly games prior. They have not won a competitive game in this fixture since 2001 and will need a major upset to do so this weekend.
The Bundesliga outfit lost their final two preseason games after winning their first three but are clear favorites for this one and should easily come out on top.
Prediction: 1860 Munchen 0-4 Borussia Dortmund
