Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich will hope to pick up their second consecutive win when they travel to face Mainz 05 on Wednesday in the second round of the DFB-Pokal at Mewa Arena.

Bayern Munich have not got beyond the German Cup quarter-finals since winning the trophy in 2020 but Wednesday's second round tie against lowly visitors Mainz 05 is a chance to set the record straight,

Mainz suffered a major injury blow in that game when star striker Jonathan Burkardt went off with an injury that will keep him out of the match against Bayern, along with defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen. Midfield talisman Nadiem Amiri picked up a knock and is a big doubt.

Mainz go up against Bayern Munich this coming Wednesday in their second outing in the DFB-Pokal. The hosts sit 13th in the table, with two wins and three losses so far in the Bundesliga, but some way behind their opponents in the cup.
