  "account": "After just two games in the German Bundesliga, SV Elversberg, a village club of just 13,000 residents, have welcomed defending champions Bayern Munich to their home ground for the first time in league history. The team, which has not been intimidated by the big city, has already secured two wins this season, including a 3-2 victory over 2023-24 Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen. Elversberg's technical director credits their success to hard work and sticking to their unique playing style, even rejecting data-driven changes. The club, which has undergone three promotions in five years, will be without their coach Vincent Wagner on Sunday due to two yellow cards received in a recent match. Despite the odds, Elversberg's coach remains unfazed, emphasizing that their identity and faith in their approach have kept them afloat. With Bayern holding a 13-title advantage over Elversberg, the match promises to be a remarkable spectacle.",
  "summary": "Four years after plying their trade in the semi-professional fourth division of German football, newly promoted SV Elversberg welcome defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Sunday. Bayern have won 13 of the past 14 German league titles but will be two points behind Elversberg when the ball rolls on Sunday.",
