Watch Hertha BSC Vs FC Bayern Munich Live Stream: DFB-Pokal Start Time, Preview, German Cup Round Of 16 Live
Bayern Munich have won the DFB-Pokal, or German Cup, a record 18 times.
If they hope to hoist the trophy for a 19th time, they will need to get past a dangerous opponent in the Berlin-based side Hertha BSC in a Round of 16 match for which Bayern was arguably lucky to qualify. Bayern barely squeaked past a fourth-division side, SV Rödinghausen, by a 2-1 score back in October, as Fansided reported. Now Bayern must defeat Hertha, the ninth-place Bundesliga club, for the first time in five meetings if they want to advance to the Cup quarterfinals. The match will live stream from Berlin.

Bayern Manager Niko Kovac is also trying for an uncommon feat — winning the DFB-Pokal two years in a row as a manager, with two different teams. The 47-year-old — who served two stints as midfielder with Hertha — took Eintracht Frankfurt to the Cup title in 2017/2018. But in his first year at Bayern Munich, the 28-time German champions have struggled, and must rebound from a dispiriting 3-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, as Soccerway reported, on Saturday.
