The Munich giants reclaimed the “silver salad bowl” last season. This year, they are aiming to win everything possible. The Super Cup was secured in the summer. Earlier this month, they beat Bayer 2-0 in the cup semi-final. At the same time, the Germans reached the Champions League semi-final, though this week they lost 4-5 to PSG in Paris. As for the Bundesliga, they managed to break their own records. In the end, they sealed the title against Stuttgart, and then still managed to snatch a win over Mainz.
The club from “Voith-Arena” finished their debut Bundesliga 1 season two years ago by qualifying for European competitions. However, by spring 2025, they were already playing in relegation playoffs. The success against Elversberg only postponed the inevitable – now, they are the main underdogs. Still, this spring, they managed draws with Bayer and Mönchengladbach, and even beat Union. After losing to Freiburg, they also defeated St. Pauli.
The champion is strong even by their own standards: they score an impressive 3.65 goals per match, conceding 1.03. The main underdog manages 1.13 goals per match, but concedes twice as many – 2.13 per game.
