The defending champions will be hoping to continue their perfect start to Bundesliga when they face newly promoted side Darmstadt 98. Bayern have won all of their four matches so far but still sit second on the league table, behind Borussia Dortmund only on goal difference.
They were against Olympiacos last time out in a match the Bavarians won by a 3-0 score line. Thomas Muller has been Bayern's star man so far having scored eight goals in just five appearances this season. He scored a brace against the Greek side last time out and whereas he is enjoying his goal scoring run, he has admitted being lucky as well.
"It feels nice when things are going well,” Muller said.
"I wanted to pass the ball to Robert Lewandowski with a sharp cross, " he said commenting on the opening goal he scored against Olympiacos.
"When the ball was in the air I could see after five metres that it wouldn’t be a cross. Actually it was a dangerous shot into the far corner. It went in, it was a bit lucky – the ball just bobbled."
“I do my best in every game, but at the moment I’m enjoying a little luck as well."
Pep Guardiola will be relying on Muller's goal scoring instincts in the upcoming match with Robert Lewandowski ruled out of the match after picking up an injury on Wednesday. The Spanish tactician will further be without attacking talents Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben who continue to remain on the sidelines. Defenders Medhi Benatia and Holger Badstuber have not fully recovered either.
Their opponents Darmstadt will not be too worried with their start to the season currently unbeaten in the four matches they have played so far, three of these however have ended in draw. They picked an encouraging win over Bayer Leverkusen last time out and will be hoping to pull off a major upset on Saturday.
Dirk Schuster will have an almost fully fit squad to his expense with the exception of long term absentees Yannick Stark and Patrick Platins. Darmstadt have never defeated Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Last time the two sides met was back in the 1981-82 season when the Bavarians won by a 4-1 score line.
