However, the team struggled at the start of their new campaign, losing to Kaiserslautern and Jahn Regensburg. Despite their solid efforts under coach Wörle, who has been with the club since 2021, Ulm faces a daunting task against a much stronger opponent.
Bayern Munich: Bayern Munich, after a trophyless season, made several strategic changes, including bringing in Vincent Kompany as head coach and signing key players like Palhinha and Olise to strengthen their squad. The team is looking to bounce back, and their preparations include a recent 2-1 victory over Tottenham. Kompany's debut is highly anticipated, and the team will aim to make a statement in this match.
