Bottom tier side Bremer SV face a stern test as they welcome Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to the Stadion am Panzenberg in DFB Pokal action on Wednesday.

The hosts head into the game off the back of a 3-1 win over Blumenthaler SV in the Bremen-Liga, while the visitors claimed a 3-2 victory over FC Koln.

Bremer SV got their season underway in fine fashion as they claimed a 3-1 win over Blumenthaler SV in their Bremen-Liga curtain raiser.

After falling behind through Nuno Porquet’s opener, second-half goals from Mahdi Matar, Óscar García and Sebastian Kurkiewicz helped Bremer claim an impressive comeback win.

This followed a shaky pre-season run where they failed to win their two games while conceding seven goals.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich continued their impressive string of performances on Sunday as they claimed a 3-2 win over a resilient Koln side.

Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry put Bayern two goals up in an action-packed second half, but Anthony Modeste and Mark Uth scored in a two-minute spell to draw Koln level.

Gnabry came up trumps for the Bavarians as he grabbed his second goal of the game in the 71st minute to hand them the win.

Prior to that, Bayern clinched their ninth German Supercup title following a 3-1 win over rivals Borussia Dortmund last Wednesday.

Bayern Munich will now aim to avoid a repeat of last season’s dismal DFB Pokal run as they were dumped out in the second round by second tier Holstein Kiel.
