Overview

• Kickoff is at 20:45 CEST at the Brita-Arena in Wiesbaden in the clubs’ first-ever competitive meeting.
• Manuel Neuer is unavailable due to a carryover suspension from last season’s red card, so 24-year-old Jonas Urbig starts in goal.
• Bayern’s confirmed XI: Urbig — Boey, Tah, Kim, Guerreiro — Kimmich, Pavlovic — Karl, Olise, Díaz — Kane, with 17-year-old Lennart Karl making his first start.
• Sky provides pay-TV coverage, while ZDF shows the match free-to-air and streams it via its Mediathek and on Joyn; Sky Go and WOW are available for subscribers.
• The Brita-Arena is sold out and local reports noted an increased police operation in Wiesbaden hours before kickoff.
