Osnabrück Hopes for the Next Cup Upset
FC Bayern travels as the favorite to Lower Saxony. However, VfL Osnabrück enters the match with momentum. The newly promoted team recently won 1-0 at VfL Bochum, gaining confidence for the duel with the record champions.
The atmosphere could also play a role. The Bremer Brücke is sold out. When fans support their team, a special cup atmosphere often arises there.
The hosts’ jersey is also drawing attention. Osnabrück will wear a special kit that recalls a significant moment in the club’s history. The design is inspired by the 1978 jersey when VfL defeated FC Bayern 5-4 in the DFB-Pokal.

The Record Between the Two Teams
In the DFB-Pokal, the two clubs have faced each other three times. Bayern Munich won two of the duels. Osnabrück’s greatest success came in 1978 with the 5-4 victory.
There have been no other competitive matches between the clubs. Osnabrück has never played in the Bundesliga and therefore has not faced FC Bayern outside the cup.
