🚨 Line-ups announced: Bayern face a tough test in the DFB Pokal | OneFootball

FC Bayern Munich faces 1. FC Union Berlin today in the DFB Cup Round of 16, in a decisive clash. Although the record champions are unbeaten in 13 cup matches against the Köpenick team, their last league encounter (a 2-2 draw) showed Union’s strength at home.

Bayern arrives with a warning from Max Eberl: "After the last match, Vincent Kompany doesn’t need to warn us anymore." The Bavarian team struggled to narrowly defeat St. Pauli last weekend and knows they will have to work even harder against Union. Kompany stated: "We are prepared for everything, for 90 minutes or for 30 more."

Union Berlin, for their part, come from a painful 1-2 defeat against Heidenheim with two stoppage-time goals. Their coach, Steffen Baumgart, is looking to put that setback behind: "In this match there is only black and white... it’s only about giving our best." Bayern, without Davies or Musiala, will look to secure their return to Berlin for the final.
