Bavarians are the only side to remain unbeaten this season.

Table toppers Bayern Munich are set to take on 16th-place FC Heidenheim in round 13 of the Bundesliga action in the iconic Allianz Arena aiming to continue their perfect start to the season.

They have lost their four consecutive games in the league but will be delighted with how things have gone in the UEFA Conference League. The next couple of games will be very crucial for them in order to move away from the relegation zone.
