Bundesliga newcomers SV Elversberg host Bayern Munich this Sunday
Summary

SV Elversberg prepares to host defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich this Sunday in a top-flight league match. The newcomers enter the contest two points ahead of the Bavarian club after winning their opening two fixtures. SV Elversberg, a village-based side that has earned three promotions in five seasons, will be without head coach Vincent Wagner, who is serving a suspension following two yellow cards in last weekend's 4-3 comeback victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach. Despite internal turnover in the front office and coaching staff, the club has retained its original tactical identity. The home stadium is currently undergoing capacity renovations and will host 9,500 fans for the visit from the six-time Champions League winners. Bayern Munich arrives looking to reclaim lost ground in the league standings after a run of 13 titles in the last 14 seasons.
