Returning to Bundesliga duty after the international break, champions Bayern Munich visit struggling Mainz 05 at MEWA Arena on Saturday.
While Bayern are, for once, not top of the table after the first seven matches, their bogey team Mainz have yet to win in the league this term.
Having previously lost ground to both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen with a second draw of the season, though, Bayern sit three points shy of top spot as they prepare for Saturday's evening kickoff.
Germany's perennial champions may have gone unbeaten through their first seven games for the first time in seven years, but they could find themselves five points down to Leverkusen before taking to the field, as Die Werkself play Wolfsburg a few hours earlier.
After spending several successful years at Mainz as head coach between 2009 and 2014, Thomas Tuchel now leads his current club back to his old stomping ground, with a Harry Kane-led front line promising to put an end to the Bavarian giants' woes away to Die Nullfunfer.
