Four straight defending champions FC Bayern Munich (2-0-0, 6 points) will look to extend their two-game winning run as they face bottom three team FC Ingolstadt 04 (0-1-1, 1 point) at the Allianz Arena on Sep. 17, Saturday in a 2016-2017 Bundesliga season week 3 encounter.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 9:30 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Bayern Munich clobbered their first two opponents in the new term as new head coach Carlo Ancelotti showed that he is prepared to give the Bavarians their fifth consecutive Bundesliga title at the end of the season.
After a 6-0 shellacking of Werder Bremen in the opening day, Bayern then blanked another bottom three squad Schalke, 2-0, on the road at the Veltins Arena last Friday, as per SkySports.
Schalke actually gave the Munich residents a scare as the game was goalless for the first 81 minutes of play.
However, Ancelotti's boys were not to be denied as Polish striker Robert Lewandowski continued to lead the attack, scoring the first goal of the match with only nine minutes left before full time.
Substitute defender Joshua Kimmich then doubled the lead in stoppage time to give the visitors a back-to-back winning performance to open their season.
Meanwhile, Ingolstadt is still winless after two rounds in the term. The team settled for a 1-1 draw with Hamburg during their season-opener before dropping a 0-2 game to Hertha Berlin last Saturday at their home field of Audi Sportpark, ESPN reported.
Head coach Markus Kauczinski's side was shutout by Die Alte Dame's tough defense while two players from the visitors scored a goal, namely Bosnian forward Vedad Ibisevic and German striker Julian Schieber at the eighth and 86th minutes respectively.
Die Schanzer is currently one of three teams in the German top flight that has not won yet, with Schalke and Werder Bremen both opening their current campaigns with two consecutive defeats.
