The newcomers are impressing with their goalscoring, but Bayern await: Elversberg vs Bayern Munich prediction
The Bundesliga third-round match between Elversberg and Bayern Munich will take place on 13 September at the Ursapharm-Arena an der Kaiserlinde. The hosts have sensationally won both of their opening league matches, while Bayern dropped points against Schalke after winning in the first round.
Elversberg: six points and seven goals
Vincent Wagner's side have made a superb start to their debut Bundesliga season. Elversberg first stunned Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-2 victory before beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-3.
Seven goals in two rounds is one of the best attacking records in the league, although the hosts have also conceded six times in all competitions. They have won their last four competitive home matches, scoring 14 goals in the process.
Bayern Munich: league setback followed by a European rout

Their response was convincing, as Bayern thrashed Bodø/Glimt 5-0 in the Champions League. Harry Kane was on the scoresheet again and remains the focal point of the attack alongside Michael Olise and Luis Díaz.
Match facts and head-to-head record

The visitors' superior quality should prove decisive: Elversberg vs Bayern Munich prediction
Elversberg have already shown that they are not afraid to attack stronger opponents, so the hosts are quite capable of creating chances and scoring. However, playing an open game against Bayern almost always carries enormous risk.
The Munich side possess too much attacking quality, while their 5-0 European victory should restore confidence after the Bundesliga setback. Over the course of the match, the favourites should make their superior class count.
