In an exciting development for the German Cup, defending champions Bayer Leverkusen are set to face Bayern Munich in the third round of the tournament.
The draw that took place on Sunday has also matched RB Leipzig against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The highly anticipated matchup between Leverkusen and Bayern will take place in Munich on either December 3 or 4.
These two teams recently clashed in the Bundesliga back in September, where Leverkusen managed to secure a fortunate 1-1 draw.

Last season, Leverkusen not only claimed the cup by defeating Kaiserslautern in the final but also finished a remarkable 18 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, marking their achievement of a league and cup double for the first time in club history.

In addition to the standout fixtures, other third-round matchups include Cologne taking on Hertha Berlin, Arminia Bielefeld facing Freiburg, Werder Bremen challenging Darmstadt, Karlsruher SC going up against Augsburg, Jahn Regensburg matched with Stuttgart, and Wolfsburg set to battle Hoffenheim.

Anticipation surrounds these encounters as teams vie for a spot in the later stages of this prestigious competition.
