SSV Ulm 1846 vs Bayern Munich Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | DFB Pokal 2024

Vincent Kompany era to begin for Bayern Munich in DFB Pokal first round.

SSV Ulm recently earned promotion to Bundesliga 2 after an impressive campaign in the 3. Liga, finishing first on the points table. They netted 65 goals across 38 matches and secured 77 points, ending 10 points ahead of the second-placed team. However, their pre-season campaign has been mixed. After a victory against Unterhaching in their opening friendly, Ulm recorded two draws against Ingolstadt and VfB Stuttgart II.

As a newly promoted side, SSV Ulm are quickly realised the challenges of competing in Bundesliga 2, failing to secure points in their opening fixtures against Jahn Regensburg and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Now, they face a daunting test against Bayern Munich, signalling the uphill battle that lies ahead as they adjust to the increased level of competition.

Bayern Munich, eager to bounce back after missing out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in a decade to Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, kicked off their pre-season with a resounding 14-1 win over Rottach-Egern. They followed this with a hard-fought draw against Duren and then secured back-to-back wins against Spurs and a dominant 3-0 triumph over WSG Tirol. Bayern are now focused on their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against SSV Ulm.

This match marks the beginning of Vincent Kompany’s era at Bayern, with expectations high for the Belgian manager to restore the club’s dominance. Despite the quality gap and Bayern’s current form making them favorites, Kompany won’t underestimate Ulm, who have demonstrated resilience by earning a promotion. With both teams meeting for just the second time in history, an intriguing contest awaits in this DFB-Pokal fixture.

Kick-Off:

Saturday, 17 August 2024 at 12:15 AM IST

Location: Donaustadion, Ulm, Germany

Form:

SSV Ulm (in all competitions): L-L-D-D-W

Bayern Munich (in all competitions): W-W-W-D-W

Players to watch:

Christian Ortega (SSV Ulm)

SSV Ulm’s goalkeeper, Christian Ortag, will need to summon all his experience and athleticism when facing the mighty Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal first-round clash. The veteran shot-stopper from Karlsruhe, who has plied his trade with Karlsruhe’s youth teams and Stuttgarter Kickers before joining SSV Ulm, will be up against one of the continent’s most lethal attacking forces, including Harry Kane.

Ortag’s acrobatic saves and sharp reflexes will be crucial if Ulm harbors any hopes of pulling off an upset against the German giants. His performance in goal could define the outcome of this monumental challenge. He will be eager to register a clean sheet when they face Bayern on Saturday.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

The narrative surrounding Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich has been marked by whispers of his “trophy-less curse” after Bayern’s stunning failure to clinch the Bundesliga title last season, which coincided with Kane’s first season in Germany. Yet, Kane’s individual brilliance cannot be ignored. The 31-year-old striker from Walthamstow, who left behind an indelible legacy at Tottenham Hotspur with 317 appearances and countless goals, seamlessly transitioned into Bayern’s setup. In his debut season, Kane proved his mettle, scoring an incredible 44 goals in 45 appearances, maintaining a remarkable goal-per-game average.

As Bayern Munich prepares for the upcoming season, Kane will undoubtedly be one of Vincent Kompany‘s key players in their quest to reclaim domestic and continental glory. The pressure is on for Kane to turn his individual success into team triumphs, as Bayern seeks to reestablish their dominance in the German top flight.
