Context last updated 28 Oct 2026, 12:07 · Europe/Bucharest

Bayern should see off second-tier Magdeburg at home, but an interim coach and five reported absentees add some doubt to a tie the record makes one-sided.

The 1.04 match price offers nothing, and neither do the 1.35 on over 3.5 goals or the 1.22 on a Bayern half-time lead. Both teams to score at 2.00 is the one quoted price that holds up.

Context

The named absence list applies specifically to Bayern’s DFB-Pokal meeting with Magdeburg. It removes established options across several areas of the squad and narrows the selection available to Danks. The evidence does not identify the replacements or formation Bayern will use.
- Manuel Neuer is sidelined for the Magdeburg match.
- Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala and Aleksandar Pavlović are sidelined.
- Luis Díaz is also sidelined.

Kompany’s Friday collapse led to his hospitalisation, with Danks taking responsibility on the touchline for this knockout fixture. That changes who makes Bayern’s in-game decisions against Magdeburg. The available evidence does not specify whether Danks will alter the planned selection or tactical approach.
- Vincent Kompany collapsed while watching training on Friday.
- Kompany was hospitalised.
- Aaron Danks is set to lead Bayern against Magdeburg.

The split points to a side that finishes strongly rather than one that blows games open early. A tiring second-tier opponent is the sort of fixture where that second-half weight tends to show. Bayern's first halves have still produced 1.25 goals per match, so the tie need not wait until the hour to turn.
- Bayern scored 2.17 second-half goals and 1.25 first-half goals per match across 12 competitive matches (22 Aug–25 Oct 2026)
- They conceded 0.67 second-half and 0.42 first-half goals per match in the same 12-match sample
For all the scoring, opponents have found a way through in three quarters of Bayern's tracked matches. Magdeburg would need to take one of the chances that come their way from a modest share of the ball. The 2-2 home draw with Arsenal on 21 October is the most recent example of a visiting side scoring in Munich.
- Bayern kept 3 clean sheets and conceded in 9 of 12 competitive matches (22 Aug–25 Oct 2026)
- They conceded 1.08 goals per match and faced 2.92 shots on target per match in that sample
