It's a superlative tournament that Leverkusen is playing, who lead the Bundesliga without having lost a game and close the first round with an easy commitment at home to Augsburg.
At -4, but with a game to make up there is Bayern who receive Hoffenheim.
The team, which mourned the passing of Kaiser Beckenbauer, brought in Dier, Kane's old teammate at Tottenham, in defence.
An easy task for Dortmund against Darmstadt, medium for Stuttgart with Moenchengladbach, serious for Leipzig with Frankfurt.
