Elversberg are competing in the top flight for the very first time, having finished second in the 2. Bundesliga last term with 62 points. Vincent Wagner’s side have made a dream start, winning both of their opening fixtures to sit fourth on six points. The Saarland club defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 on 29 August, with Lukas Petkov, Cole Campbell and David Mokwa finding the net, before coming from 3-1 down to win 4-3 at Mönchengladbach on 5 September. Maurice Krattenmacher scored twice in that comeback. With seven goals scored, Elversberg boast the division’s most potent attack. Krattenmacher, a 20-year-old winger, will face his formative club after leaving Bayern for Elversberg in June.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have collected four points and sit sixth, two points adrift of their hosts. Vincent Kompany’s men opened their campaign with a 5-1 rout of Stuttgart, Michael Olise scoring twice, before being held to a 0-0 draw at Schalke 04 — a result that ended a run of 59 consecutive competitive matches with at least one goal scored. The Bavarians bounced back on Thursday in the Champions League, thrashing Bodø/Glimt 5-0 with goals from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise. German champions last season with 89 points, they signed Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari during the summer.
