SV Elversberg vs Bayern Munich: A First-Ever Clash Between the Early Season’s Top-Scoring Teams
SV Elversberg are set to host German giants FC Bayern Munich in the third matchday of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season. The clash between the two sides will take place at the URSAPHARM-Arena an der Kaiserlinde on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 22:30 WIB.
This match will serve as a true test for the surprise promoted side, who have made an impressive start in Germany’s top flight by securing two wins from their opening two Bundesliga matches.
Vincent Wagner’s newly promoted team shocked the public, which included a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Collecting a maximum of six points, SVE surprisingly find themselves near the top of the table early in the season, sitting just above their upcoming opponents, Bayern Munich.
An incisive attack led by David Mokwa has been Elversberg’s primary weapon so far. They have netted seven goals in their first two matches—a record-breaking, prolific start for a promoted Bundesliga club in decades.
On the other hand, Vincent Kompany’s men head into the match boosted by a 5-0 thrashing of Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League. Die Roten are determined to return to winning ways in domestic competition after being held to a goalless draw by Schalke 04.
Squad depth and possession are expected to give the defending champions a clear edge. In their last away league fixture, Bayern recorded up to 83% ball possession. Dominating the midfield battle will be crucial to stifling the hosts’ dangerous counter-attacks.
The match could also prove to be a milestone moment for Bayern’s star striker, Harry Kane. The English forward has scored 98 Bundesliga goals so far and needs just two more to make history as the fastest player to reach the 100-goal mark.
This matchday three encounter will write a new chapter for both clubs. SV Elversberg and FC Bayern Munich have never met in an official match, either in the Bundesliga or the DFB-Pokal.
Nevertheless, Bayern boast an excellent record when facing new opponents in the top flight. Elversberg will be the 57th different team Bayern have faced in the Bundesliga, and FCB have managed to record at least one victory against all previous 56 clubs.
