Seeking to extend their winning streak in all competitions to five matches, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich play host to SV Darmstadt 98 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams meet for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign when Bayern came out on top in both home and away fixtures by a 1-0 scoreline.
The German giants followed up last weekend's 3-1 away victory over Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga with another win on their travels over Galatasaray by the same scoreline in the Champions League on Tuesday, extending their remarkable record-breaking unbeaten run in the group stage to 37 games.
Kingsley Coman saw his early opener cancelled out by Mauro Icardi from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark, but Bayern restored their lead through in-form summer signing Harry Kane midway through the second half before Jamal Musiala added a third to seal the victory.
Thomas Tuchel's side are already sitting five points clear at the summit of Group A at the halfway stage, but they find themselves in third place in the Bundesliga standings, two points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen after eight matches.
