[DFB-Pokal Germany] Ulm vs Bayern - The home team is the absolute favorite for this match, and the only question is how many goals they will score.

There was a time when Ulm competed in the Bundesliga, but that was only once, during the 1999/00 season. Currently, Ulm is a newcomer to the 2. Bundesliga, having played in the fourth division as recently as the 2022/23 season. The Black and Whites won the 3. Liga at the first attempt, amassing 77 points over the season. They finished 10 points clear of their nearest rival, Preußen Münster—an impressive feat.

However, Ulm's start to the 2. Bundesliga has been disappointing. In the first round, they suffered a heartbreaking home defeat to Kaiserslautern. Despite leading 1-0, they conceded goals in the 77th and 83rd minutes. In the second round, Ulm lost away to Jahn Regensburg, another newly promoted team from the 3. Liga.Bayern fans would like to forget last season as quickly as possible. The club struggled throughout the campaign and, for the first time in 12 years, failed to win the Bundesliga title, which was sensationally claimed by Bayer Leverkusen for the first time in history. To make matters worse, Bayern finished third, losing the second spot to Stuttgart in the final round.

After such a season, Bayern sacked Thomas Tuchel, but the search for a new head coach took longer than expected. The club's primary target was Xabi Alonso, but he declined the offer. Eventually, Bayern surprisingly appointed Vincent Kompany, who had been relegated from the Premier League with Burnley in the previous season.

During the summer, Bayern defeated Tottenham twice in friendly matches—2-1 and 3-2—and in their final pre-season game, they thrashed Austrian side WSG Tirol 3-0.

Prediction: Ulm +2.5
