Finally at the top of the Bundesliga table with eleven points from their five games, Bayern head north-west to the RheinEnergieStadion for a meeting with 1. FC Köln, back in the Bundesliga after a two-year hiatus in the 2. Bundesliga. While the meeting between these two clubs is no longer the big-power battle as it was in the 1980s, there is plenty of history there to guarantee a well-contested match - and when up against Bayern the club known as…

Having returned from Moscow with three points in the Champions' League bag, Bayern are back at the Allianz for the visit of Hannover 96, one of those teams that have been there or thereabouts in the last few seasons without setting the world alight. While Bayern will expect to secure their position at the top of the table with three points, sixth-placed Hannover will be looking to maintain their encouraging start to the season. In the corresponding fixture last year…

After the weekend of international fixtures the Bundesliga resumes with what a few years ago would have been an unlikely top versus bottom clash, with FC Bayern entertaining Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena. One of FCB's rivals in the late 1980s and for much of the 1990s, the northern side have gone through a rough patch of late, and with a grand total of just four points from their opening seven matches are propping up the table.

The meeting between a rampant FC Bayern and Lucien Favre's…

FC Bayern's busy November schedule continues with a drive north-west to Frankfurt against mid-table Eintracht. One of the Bundesliga's less fashionable outfits, Thomas Schaaf's side have over the years reserved their best efforts for their games against Bayern, and this latest meeting at the Commerzbank-Arena should be no different as the team known as Die Adler ("The Eagles") look to secure put some distance between themselves and the drop zone. Last season's fixture in Frankfurt would see the home side…

After the final round of international fixtures for 2014 FC Bayern return to domestic action with the first of eight games in less than a month before the winter break as they entertain TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Markus Gisdol's side have started the season encouragingly, h maintaining their free-scoring approach while tightening up considerably in defence. In all, it makes for an open and interesting contest between the Bundesliga's highest and third-highest goalscoring units. Last season the encounter at the Allianz…

FC Bayern end a busy November with a trip north-east to Germany's capital city, where they take on a struggling Hertha Berlin. As well as being unable to win away from home Jos Luhhukay's side have been at best inconsistent at the Olympiastadion, and Bayern will be fancying their chances of racking up a good win in their quest to maintain their winning record and stay ahead of the chasing pack as the Winterpause approaches. Last season in the corresponding…
