Bayern Munich head to the Ursapharm Arena this Sunday to take on newly promoted Elversberg in a Bundesliga fixture that pits the defending champions against one of the season’s early surprise packages.
Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern have yet to taste defeat in the 2026–27 campaign. They began their league schedule with an extraordinary 5–5 thriller away at Stuttgart, then hit a rare stumbling block with a goalless draw at Schalke 04 last weekend. Midweek, they rediscovered their rhythm in Europe, cruising to a 5–0 Champions League victory over Norway’s Bodø/Glimt, a result that underlined the quality of their forward line even as they look to improve their away record in domestic competition.
Bayern Munich team news
Kompany’s squad is largely fit as he aims to rebound from the blank against Schalke.
The only notable doubt is winger Serge Gnabry, who is progressing from a thigh and adductor problem and will be assessed late before kick-off.
Star creator Jamal Musiala has returned after a pre-season health scare linked to a neurological condition and is now seizure-free, but the club continues to manage his minutes carefully; he is expected to start on the bench following his midweek European appearance. Long-term youth absentees Tarek Buchmann and David Santos Daiber remain unavailable.
Kompany is projected to line up in a strong 4-2-3-1 shape. Manuel Neuer starts in goal, protected by a back four of Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, and Nathaniel Brown.
Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic are set to control the midfield base, with Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, and Luis Díaz operating behind striker Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup
Possible Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer; Stanisic, Tah, Kim, Brown; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Karl, Diaz; Kane
