Bayern Munich will look to get back on track in the Bundesliga when they travel to newly-promoted Elversberg on Sunday.
Vincent Kompany saw his Bayern side draw 0-0 with Schalke last week, which saw them fall two points behind four teams that have picked up six points, including their hosts.
Elversberg have made a tremendous start to the season, winning all three games in all competitions, but a meeting with the defending champions should pose a totally new threat.
Elversberg v Bayern Munich Tips Summary
Best Bet - Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score @ 4/5
Alternative Bet - Bayern Munich -2 @ 4/5
Bet Builder - Michael Olise to score, Ismael Saibari to assist & Aleksandar Pavlovic 2+ fouls committed @ 8/1
Elversberg v Bayern Munich Prediction
Best Bet: Bayern Munich to win and both teams to score @ 4/5
Elversberg earned promotion last season after finishing second in 2. Bundesliga and they have caused a stir or two under manager Vincent Wagner.
They opened the season with a 3-1 win over Duisburg in the DFB-Pokal, before two surprise victories over Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach in the league.
They have looked vulnerable at the back, though, with Wagner's team conceding in every game so far. They showed plenty of heart against Leverkusen to win 3-2, before rallying to beat Gladbach 4-3 last weekend.
Bayern may have slipped up last week, but on the whole, it is a small blip in what looks like another dominant season from the Bavarians.
They won the German Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund 2-1, while they have beaten Stuttgart 5-1 and VfL Osnabruck 4-1 in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, respectively.
In midweek, Bayern hammered Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in the UEFA Champions League, and all signs point to them racking up the goals on Sunday.
Elversberg have already proved they can cause problems for top teams, so while they should find the back of the net, the away team should be able to record all three points.
Alternative Bet: Bayern Munich -2 @ 4/5
Elversberg's start to the season is clearly no fluke, but the fact they have conceded five goals in two league games suggests they will be wide open at the back.
Bayern have scored four or more goals in three of their five games and they could make a mockery of the hosts' defence.
After the 0-0 draw with Schalke, Bayern showed they can respond in style, so expect them to rack up the goals in a big win on the road.
Elversberg v Bayern Munich Bet Builder Tip
Michael Olise to score
Ismael Saibari to assist
Aleksandar Pavlovic 2+ fouls committed
Pays @ 8/1
Bayern midfielder Michael Olise scored two goals in a sublime display against Bodo/Glimt to take his tally for the season to five.
Olise is once again playing with plenty of confidence and he leads the way for Bayern in terms of shots on target, having had 14 from 24 shots.
He looks like one of the main candidates to find the back of the net in the first leg of this Bet Builder, while team-mate Ismael Saibari offers good value to grab an assist.
He registered two assists against Stuttgart in just 29 minutes last month and he looks to have been given the no.10 role behind Harry Kane.
Saibari should get plenty of chances to pick out his team-mates in the final third against a leaky Elversberg defence.
Bayern midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic has committed nine fouls in five games and he could once again catch the eye of the referee.
In the goalless draw with Schalke, he committed four and was shown a yellow card, so expect him to make his mark once again.
