Match preview

Bayern Munich aren’t unstoppable after-all.

On Saturday, the ten-in-a-row Bundesliga champions actually failed to win for the first time this season.

Der FCB were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach at Allianz Arena, needing Leroy Sané to rescue a late draw.

This is despite the fact Bayern mustered 33 shots to Gladbach’s five.

Beforehand, Julian Nagelsmann’s side had won all four matches this campaign, scoring 20 goals, including picking up the DFL-Supercup.

Now, the 20-times DFB-Pokal winners are looking to avoid losing in the first round for the first time since 1994.

Meanwhile, Viktoria Köln have only ever won one of six ties in this competition, ousting Union Berlin in 2015.

Olaf Janßen’s team compete in the 3.Liga and currently sit eighth, following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with 1860 Munich.

Now, up against Bavaria’s top side, Viktoria Köln are likely to be swatted aside at RheinEnergieStadion.
