Ulm will be looking to end a four-match winless run in all competitions when they host Bayern Munich in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Friday night.
The last two seasons have been memorable for Ulm fans. Thomas Wörle's side were promoted from the Regionalliga in the 2022-23 season and won the third division last term to earn promotion to the second tier. However, the Sparrows have made a slow start to life in the second tier, losing their first two matches 3-1 on aggregate.
Bayern Munich meanwhile are keen to put the 2023-24 season behind them as quickly as possible. The Reds failed to win the Bundesliga for the first time in twelve seasons and were also knocked out of the DFB-Pokal at the second round by Saarbrücken. To make matters worse, they lost their only chance of silverware against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
Ulm vs Bayern Munich betting tips: Bayern & over 3.5 goals
Defending has been Ulm's biggest problem in recent months. In fact, the 2. Bundesliga side go into Friday's game on a run of eight consecutive games without keeping a clean sheet. Five of those games have ended with more than 2.5 goals scored and I fancy a similar outcome on Friday.
Bayern Munich have also struggled defensively of late. At the time of writing, Vincent Kompany's side have gone five games without keeping a clean sheet and all but one of those games ended with at least three goals scored.
- Best Tip: Over 3.5 goals
- Ulm vs Bayern Munich prediction: 1-3
Ulm team news
Ulm head coach Thomas Wörle will be without the services of Laurin Ulrich on Friday evening due to injuries.
The midfielder has missed the last two games due to an influenza, but the hosts don't have any other injury concern ahead of their return to the DFB Pokal.

Bayern Munich team news
Leroy Sané will be unavailable to Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany this weekend due to a groin injury.
The Reds' injury list also includes Hiroki Ito, Arijon Ibrahimovic, Daniel Peretz and Tarek Buchmann.
In the absence of Sane, Harry Kane could be joined in the final third by Adin Ličina and Kingsley Coman, while Gabriel Vidović will be hoping to keep his place in the middle of the park.
