Berlin (AFP) – Holders Bayern Munich will host Bavarian neighbours Augsburg in an all-Bundesliga clash in the second round of the German Cup, following Friday’s draw.

Defending German league champions Bayern completed the double last season by beating Borussia Dortmund in the Berlin final last May and will host Augsburg at Munich’s Allianz Arena.

The second round matches will be played on October 25 and 26.

The draw took place on Friday after Bayern beat Bremen 6-0 in the opening match of the 2016/17 German league season.
