Before you start: Preußen Münster is particularly sorely missing top scorer Batmaz, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in a test match against Borussia Dortmund eleven days ago. Against VfB, he will not be represented by Amenyido (bench), but this time by new loan signing Nemeth (HSV). It is one of five changes made by coach Sascha Hildmann, who also brings in goalkeeper Behrens, Schad, Paetow and Makridis for Schenk, ter Horst, Mees (all bench) and Koulis (missing).
Before you start: Compared to the 1:3 defeat at the start of the league against SC Freiburg, VfB coach Sebastian Hoeneß has made changes in a total of four positions. Krätzig, Leweling, Millot and Undav are all initially left out. Mittelstädt, Woltemade, Rieder and the 20-year-old Chase are moving into the starting eleven.
Before you start: Unlike the majority of all cup matches in the opening round, this duel will be played almost one and a half weeks later. The reason for this is the Supercup final between Stuttgart and Leverkusen, which was played on the same weekend.
Before you start: The match in the first round of the cup will be played in the Preußenstadion in Münster. Kick-off is at 8.45 p.m.
