Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips

Wehen Wiesbaden will face Bayern Munich at the Brita Arena on Wednesday in the opening round of the 2025-26 DFB Pokal campaign. The home side enjoyed a winning start to their campaign in the German third tier this season but have failed to win any of their two subsequent outings and have a far greater test in the domestic cup this week.

They traded tackles with Mainz at this stage of the DFB Pokal last season and lost 3-1, holding on for a 1-1 draw in normal time before conceding twice in the second half of extra time.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have enjoyed a bright start to their season, kicking things off with a 2-1 win over Stuttgart in the German Super Cup midway through the month via goals from Harry Kane and new signing Luis Diaz. They then locked horns with RB Leipzig in their Bundesliga opener last weekend and ran out 6-0 winners, with Kane and Diaz once again finding the back of the net.

The visitors faced Ulm 1846 at this stage of the domestic cup last season, picking up a dominant 4-0 victory, and will hope to hit similar heights this week.
