Bayern to prove their class
Bayern Munich travel to the Ursapharm-Arena in Germany to take on SV Elversberg on Sunday and it should be an intriguing tactical clash between two in-form sides.
Elversberg, who have won 4 and drawn 1 in their last 5, are the home side in red-hot form, while the Rekordmeister are also in fine shape having gone unbeaten across their most recent 5 matches.
Vincent Wagner's side, who have played a bold and high-tempo version of 4-2-3-1 in their two Bundesliga 2026/2027 games, have been ruthless at home and could be a real problem for Bayern to break down on Sunday. They've won 1 from 1, averaging 3.00 goals scored and 2.00 conceded in the process, so there will be no pressure on the visitors to push forward from the get-go.
Tactical clash will test both defences
FC Bayern Munich have played a flexible, possession-heavy game under Vincent Kompany with a fierce counter-press and a high defensive line. The addition of Luis Diaz to the attacking line has provided a serious bite in the final third, with the Colombian scoring 3 in Bayern's last 5 as they've notched up 10 in total across that span.
Ismael Saibari has been Bayern's chief creator so far in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, providing 2 assists in 2 appearances. Aleksandar Pavlovic leads the line with 1 goal in 2 and is their top scorer, but David Mokwa for Elversberg has 2 in 2, so he'll be the main marking task for Bayern.
Elversberg have the momentum
There's no doubting Bayern are favourites for this game, and rightfully so at 1.23, while Elversberg have odds of 8.6 for the win and the draw is priced at 7.0. However, Elversberg are on a 4-game winning streak and are coming off a wild 4-3 success at Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent away match.
Bayern should edge this one, but with Elversberg's hot form and attacking bite, we think they could give Bayern a real test of their ability and make this a potentially enthralling encounter.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.2 looks like a lock given the respective averages of both sides in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, while both teams to score at 1.48 seems liveable too, as Wagner's men will be eager to get forward and force Bayern into committing numbers at the back.
