League-leading and defending champions Bayern Munich (6-0-0, 18 points) will go for its seventh win in a row against mercurial club Mainz (3-3-0, 9 points) in a 2015-2016 Bundesliga match at the Coface Arena on September 26, Saturday.
The champs took over the lead from Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday after BVB was forced into a 1-1 draw by bottom-dwelling squad Hoffenheim at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
Die Bayern routed last season's runners-up Wolfsburg, 5-1, on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena to extend their winning streak to six so far into the new season.
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski scored five goals in a span of nine minutes, from the 51st to the 60th, to bury Die Wölfe after Wolves midfielder Daniel Caligiuri right-footed a winner at the 26th-minute mark, as per SkySports.
Meanwhile, Mainz fell to Bayer Leverkusen, 0-1, in their Wednesday match at the BayArena, via Goalsaim.
Martin Schmidt boys were held scoreless by Bayer as Roger Schmidt's side controlled the ball throughout the game to snatch the three points and draw with Mainz in the overall standings with nine points each.
There seems to be no end in sight for the dominance of Pep Guardiola's squad in 2015-2016 as they are favored to win their fourth consecutive Bundesliga title, and 26th for the club overall, this early in the season.
The prediction is a 5-0 romp for Bayern Munich.
Mainz starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Karius; Brosinski, Bungert, Bell, Bengtsson; Baumgartlinger, Moritz; Clemens, Malli, De Blasis; Muto
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Alaba, Bernat; Vidal, Alonso, Thiago; Costa, Müller, Lewandowski
