Elversberg have taken six points from six matches, winning 3-2 against Leverkusen and 4-3 against Mönchengladbach. They are only the ninth team in Bundesliga history to win their first two matches in the division, with Hoffenheim (in 2008) being the only other club to have managed the feat in the past 35 years.
The Saarland club's electrifying start has seen them become the joint-highest scorers after two matchdays alongside surprise leaders Augsburg, with seven goals in their opening two games against stern opposition. This tally has also equalled a Bundesliga record, with Duisburg being the only other team to score seven times across their first two top-flight matches in the inaugural 1963/64 campaign.
Elversberg's finishing efficiency of +3.1 is the best of any Bundesliga team after two matchdays, which could be particularly important against Bayern, where clear-cut chances will surely be harder to come by against last season's champions.
Bayern's trip to the Ursapharm-Arena will be their first Bundesliga fixture in Saarland for almost 34 years, and Elversberg will now become the latest Saarland club to welcome the record champions to their corner of Germany.
