In the quarterfinals of the German Cup on February 11, 2026, Bayern Munich will face RB Leipzig. Any slip-up by the champion would be incomprehensible.
Our Prediction for Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig
After a trophyless season before last, the top club from Munich put its faith in Kompany—and he returned the “silver salad bowl”. After the summer break, they immediately secured the German Super Cup, and any subsequent missteps in all competitions were isolated. In the Champions League, the Germans lost to Arsenal and finished second in their group. Domestically, despite a loss to Augsburg and a draw with Hamburg, their dominance is undisputed. This was confirmed by their thrashing of Hoffenheim.
Leipzig failed last season: they did not reach the Champions League playoffs and did not qualify for any European competition in the spring, finishing seventh. Now, under new coach Ole Werner, they have made visible progress and are fighting for a top-four spot. In the last round, they secured an important win in Cologne.
In the cup, Kane and company have been playing entertaining football, always conceding but scoring more: 3-2 against Wehen in the summer, 4-1 against Cologne, and 3-2 against Union. Notably, all these matches were away! Their opponents had easier routes: 4-2 against Sandhausen, 4-1 against Energie, and 3-1 against Magdeburg.
