Overview
- Kickoff is at 20:45 at Wiesbaden’s Brita-Arena after the tie was pushed back due to Bayern’s Supercup commitments.
- Local reports say Bayern will fly into Frankfurt and return to Munich by bus because Munich Airport enforces a 00:00–05:00 night landing curfew.
- The return trip by road is roughly 428 kilometers, an unusual move for Bayern that departs from their typical postmatch flights.
- Bayern arrive in strong early-season form after a 2:1 Supercup win over Stuttgart and a 6:0 Bundesliga opener against Leipzig.
- Wehen Wiesbaden come off a 3:4 home defeat to Rot-Weiss Essen, with coach Nils Döring urging sharper first-half finishing ahead of the cup tie.
