Bayern will play away at third-division Saarbrücken in the second round of the 2023/24 DFB Cup after the draw was made by former Germany international Shkodran Mustafi and DFB vice-president Peter Frymuth on Sunday evening. FCB had beaten Preußen Münster 4-0 in the first round the previous Tuesday to progress to this stage.
Fifth cup encounter
Saarbrücken won 2-1 against Karlsruhe in the first round. The last competitive encounter between Bayern and the Saarland side came in the 1992/93 Bundesliga campaign, with FCB winning 6-0 at home as Saarbrücken were relegated. The pair have met four times before in the DFB Cup, with the Munich club progressing each time.
Ties on 31 October/1 November
All the second-round matches will be played on either Tuesday, 31 October or Wednesday, 1 November. The DFB will confirm the exact dates and kick-off times of each fixture in the coming days.
