Bayern Munich travel to Mainz on Saturday for their final Bundesliga match before the international break, hoping to keep their unbeaten season going.
The Bavarians remain unbeaten in every competition so far this term and lead the Bundesliga table on goal difference, having collected 18 points through five victories and three draws. Last weekend, they were denied a win against Borussia Dortmund when a late goal made it 2-2, but they responded in midweek with a solid 2-0 Champions League win away to Atlético Madrid despite missing several players.
