Bayern Munich are favourites to ease through the second round when they make tour to the Preussen Stadion this weekend.
So far this season, Preussen have got victory in just one of their four games in the third tier so far this season, but will be relishing the chance to pit their head against the Bundesliga champions in an eagerly-anticipated first-round tie on Sunday.
It would be no shocker to see Pep Guardiola ring the changes from the 2-0 DFL-Supercup loss to Dortmund three days ago for a clash that comes just five days before the Bundesliga giants inaugurate their Bundesliga campaign in opposition to Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich are recently struggling with injuries of their several star players. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery are the most notable absentees while the likes of Philip Lahm and Mario Gotze could only make their place on the bench due to injury in the last game against Dortmund. On the top of that, Javi Martinez was stretchered off in the Dortmund game and is likely to miss several months of new campaign.
It is easier to predict that the Bundesliga champions will field weakened team against the minnows Preussen although the quality of the Bayern side will be difficult to handle for third tier side. Thus this match will be a litmus test for Preussen.
