More markets for the DFB-Pokal game, scheduled for August 22 at 12:00 PM ET.
TSV 1860 München host Holstein Kiel in the DFB-Pokal first round on August 22 at Grünwalder Strasse, creating a classic cup mismatch between a Regionalliga Bayern side and a 2. Bundesliga opponent. München’s failure to secure a 3. Liga license has forced relegation to the fourth tier, disrupting squad stability and pre-season preparations. Kiel enter with stronger depth and recent second-division experience, though key defenders such as Lasse Rosenboom remain sidelined into early September. Home atmosphere and cup incentive offer München realistic upset potential, yet the tier gap and Kiel’s superior resources shape trader consensus toward the visitors advancing. Recent form for both sides shows limited competitive minutes ahead of the tie.
