The defending champion has already scored 14 goals in three Bundesliga games. Our visit to Hoffenheim is the following Saturday.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Match Up<\/h2>\n<p>Bayern coach Vincent Company is seduced to spin his team at Hoffenheim, who might expect Tom Bischoff to feature after him <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Summer Switch<\/span> Between the sides. Former Chelsea forward Nicholas Jackson may also see more play time <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Inform Harry Kane<\/span> rest.<\/p>\n<p>Leverkusen will host Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach on Sunday for a line derby between the only clubs to fire a coach after three rounds.
