Football record champions FC Bayern will play against FSV Mainz 05 in the Saturday evening game (6.30 p.m./Sky). Coach Thomas Tuchel’s Munich team is still playing without Manuel Neuer; the comeback of the long-injured national goalkeeper has been postponed by at least a week.
Will Bayern conquer the top of the Bundesliga table?
The Munich team can only become leaders with a win if their competitors make a mistake first. Leaders Bayer Leverkusen will play at VfL Wolfsburg in the afternoon, while second-placed VfB Stuttgart will play at 1. FC Union Berlin (both 3:30 p.m./Sky).
At the same kick-off time, newly promoted Darmstadt 98 will welcome cup winners RB Leipzig, SC Freiburg will play against VfL Bochum, and Eintracht Frankfurt will play against TSG Hoffenheim.
