The clash between Elversberg and Bayern Munich promises plenty of drama as the Bundesliga new boys look to shake up the big boys once again. Fresh from the lower leagues, the Saarland side have already shown they no mean pushovers, grabbing six points from their opening two fixtures with high-scoring wins that got fans buzzing across the country. Now they face a Bayern side hungry to bounce back after a rare goalless draw, and the stage is set for goals galore at both ends.
Team Form
Elversberg came into the top flight ready to cause chaos and their early results speak volumes. They stunned Bayer with a 3-2 victory, followed it up by beating Borussia Monchengladbach 4-3, and even banged in three against Duisburg in the cup. That is ten goals in just three games, showing they can match the scoring pace of the giants. Bayern on the other hand sit off the top of the table after their shock 0-0 with Schalke, ending a long scoring run and leaving Vincent Kompany with plenty to ponder after resting key attackers.
Tactical Analysis
- Elversberg attack with pace and direct play that catches bigger sides off guard
- Bayern midfield control is usually dominant but looked blunt without their star forwards
- Both teams leave spaces at the back which should lead to end-to-end action
- Home support in the small town will push the underdogs to press high from the first whistle
Betting Proposal
With Elversberg firing on all cylinders and Bayern determined to put the Schalke disappointment behind them, expect the goals to flow freely. The visitors have the quality to break down any defense while the hosts will not sit back. My types point strongly toward a high-scoring affair where both sides find the net multiple times.
Elversberg and Bayern to score five goals or more. Over 4.5 goals at 2.07.
