The 53-year-old has come up against Bayern twice so far as coach of the capital city club – both times the game ended in a draw. However, another draw will definitely not happen in the DFB Cup, which is why Baumgart and his team are hoping for an upset: “There’s only black and white in this game, no grey area – and neither team has anything to make up for. It’s all about putting in the best possible performance to progress to the next round of the cup.”
Team news
Alphonso Davies (back in team training following a cruciate ligament rupture) is not yet fit enough for the DFB Cup match, nor is Jamal Musiala (dislocation of the ankle and fracture of the fibula). Kompany confirmed that all players are otherwise fit.
Berlin are still without the injured Robert Skov, Dmytro Bogdanov and Andrik Markgraf.
