Bayern Munich does not draw 0-0 at newly-promoted Schalke. That is not supposed to be a sentence anyone types. And yet here we are, and suddenly the conversation around the biggest club in Germany is not about who they beat but about whether they can score at all.
Now it is Elversberg's turn to find out if that was a blip or a pattern. Elversberg have no business being spoken about as a banana peel for Bayern, but a team that just got shut out by a promoted side walking into another road match carries a different kind of pressure than usual. Every chance Bayern create gets watched a little closer. Every shot that goes wide gets a little louder.
This is why the moneyline matters here beyond the obvious. Bayern winning is expected. Bayern winning while looking like themselves again is the actual question hanging over this match. So pick your side: does Bayern shake off the rust and get the win, or does Elversberg turn a shaky Bayern into more than just a talking point?
