Full-time: Elversberg 1-2 Bayern Munich

The whistle goes on a highly entertaining match in Elversberg. Karl gave Bayern the lead in the first half, but substitute Krattenmacher produced a sensational equaliser in the 61st minute. Bayern brought on some big-hitters from the bench, and that spurred the visitors on, culminating in Kane's winning goal 18 minutes from time. It was a merited win overall for the champions, who bounce back from last week's draw with Schalke, but the hosts can also take a lot from their plucky performance!

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Elversberg currently require a significant longer period of time (25.5 seconds) to regain possession compared to Bayern (14.5 seconds).

Goalscorers on form

Although it's very early days in the Bundesliga campaign, both clubs have players who already look hungry for goals. Michael Olise and Luis Díaz struck on the opening day against Stuttgart, and Harry Kane scored during the week in the Champions League (as did Olise, who grabbed a brace). The hosts, meanwhile, already have two players sitting on two league goals, Maurice Krattenmacher and David Mokwa.

Today's venue

The stage for today's game is the 14,000-capacity Ursapharm-Arena. Elversberg already have a Bundesliga win there this season - a sensational 3-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 1 - but a home victory over the record champions would really make the football world sit up and notice.

Vincent Kompany on facing Elversberg

"We played against Schalke last week and against Elversberg this week, and both teams were successful in different ways last season. Elversberg relied more on possession and solutions with the ball, while Schalke focused more on counter-pressing and transition play. You can clearly see that in the data. They are a team that laid the foundation for their success in terms of footballing ability and have now made a very good start to the Bundesliga season."

Pascal Bieler on facing Bayern

Pascal Bieler, Elversberg assistant coach: "We're not approaching this game any differently. It's important that we keep up with our routine. It's nice to be able to watch Bayern play in the Champions League on Thursday as part of your preparations. I don't have anything to add about their individual quality - they're a world-class side."

Bayern flex goalscoring muscles

After drawing 0-0 away to Schalke on Matchday 2, Bayern were back to their usual free-scoring self as they downed Norwegian outfit Bodø/Glimt 5-0 in their UEFA Champions League opener at the Allianz Arena. Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies were among the goals before a Michael Olise brace completed the rout.
