Bayern vs Ulm Game 3 Preview


Game 2 of the Bundesliga finals went to Ulm with a convincing 79–64 win, leveling the series at 1-1.

Will Bayern continue the trend of home teams winning in this series, or can Ulm snap their three-game road losing streak?

Bayern Form & Team News


To put it mildly, Bayern's players did not perform well in Game 2 of the finals.


The first half actually looked decent, as they controlled the score for the most part and held a slight lead. However, the game took a decisive turn in the third quarter, where they were thoroughly outplayed and lost that stretch 21–7.


Nothing went right for Bayern in that period — they missed 14 shots, turned the ball over five times, and didn’t attempt a single free throw.


Overall, it was a very poor offensive showing, with only team captain Vladimir Lucic showing true fight against the opponent. He finished the game with 17 points and 6 rebounds. The only other players to score in double figures were Shabazz Napier and Jack White, with 10 points each.


Game 1 hero Andreas Obst underperformed this time, hitting just 2 of 7 three-point attempts. Devin Booker also had a rough outing, scoring just 5 points in limited minutes due to foul trouble.


Ulm Form & Team News


Ulm’s fortress remains untouched. With their latest victory, they’ve now racked up 14 straight home wins — and this one came with a twist.


Unlike their usual high-octane displays, Ulm turned to grit and grind, smothering Bayern with suffocating defense and taking full control on both ends of the floor. They didn’t just beat Bayern — they outclassed them. Better shooting percentages inside and out, more rebounds, slicker ball movement, fewer turnovers — Ulm ticked every box.


The only blemish? A shaky 14-of-23 from the free-throw line. It didn’t cost them this time, but it’s a detail they can’t afford to ignore moving forward.


Karim Jallow was the man of the moment, torching his former team with 23 points and grabbing six steals in a fiery two-way performance.


Justinian Jessup, Marcio, Alfonso Plummer, and Ben Saraf backed him up with 10 points apiece, rounding out a well-balanced team effort that left Bayern searching for answers.


Head to Head


Including the previous two finals games, Ulm and Bayern have faced each other four times this season, with the series tied at 2–2. The home team has won every single matchup.


Verdict

Although both teams have played fast-paced and high-scoring basketball this season, the first two games of the finals have shown a different style.

The pace is slower, scoring is lower, and it’s harder for the visitors to find their rhythm and adjust to the intensity imposed by the home team.

I expect a similar pattern in Game 3, which is why I believe betting on the under for total points is the best choice.
