Bayern risk early exit following RB Leipzig DFB-Pokal second round draw

Bayern Munich have been draw away to Bundesliga title rivals RB Leipzig in a blockbuster DFB-Pokal second-round clash.

The fixture is one of four all-Bundesliga ties with Hertha Berlin to host Koln, Wolfsburg at home to Hannover and Hoffenheim on the road against Werder Bremen.

Reigning cup winners Borussia Dortmund face an away trip to third-tier Magdeburg.

Leipzig cemented their place as a force in German football last season by finishing second in their first Bundesliga campaign, albeit 15 points off Bayern.

“It’s the best draw you could hope for. We’re looking forward to a real cup battle,” said Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl.

All matches will be held between 24-25 October.
