Defending champions Bayern Munich (5-0-0, 15 points) is set to clash with last season's runners-up VfL Wolfsburg (3-0-2, 11 points) at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, September 22 as the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season continues.
Even though they racked up five straight wins to open the new season, Die Bayern is still stuck at the no. 2 spot in the league's overall standings behind Borussia Dortmund as the latter had three more goals made than Pep Guardiola's side.
The Bavarians routed newly-promoted club Darmstadt 98 in their last outing on Saturday, 3-0, with the trio of Arturo Vidal, Kingsley Coman, and Sebastian Rode each scoring goals while leading scorer Thomas Müller was rested but came in as a substitute at the 68th-minute, as per BBC Sports.
Vidal and Coman were Guardiola's newest acquisitions from Juventus, with the latter on loan, during the summer and it was their first ever goals for the Munich squad in Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg is currently at third place, only four points behind the league leaders, and have managed to stay undefeated so far with three wins and two draws.
Their last game was a 2-0 blanking of Hertha Berlin at the Volkswagen Arena also last Saturday, via SkySports.
Dutch striker Bas Dost scored a double for Die Wölfe as they moved up the league table past Schalke, Cologne, and Ingolstadt.
Either of the two teams will come out with their first loss of the season after this match, and chances are Dieter Hecking's men will be at the losing end.
The predicted result is a 3-0 rout by Bayern Munich. Müller may still be out of the starting XI, but the Reds are more than capable with Vidal and company.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Neuer; Rafinha, Boateng, Alaba, Bernat; Kimmich; Costa, Vidal, Gotze, Müller; Lewandowski
Wolfsburg starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Benaglio; Trasch, Naldo, Dante, Schafer; Guilavogui; Caligiuri, Draxler, Kruse, Schurrle; Bendtner
