Out-of-sort Greuther Furth welcome the Bavarians to the Ronhof Thomas Sommer Stadium with the host still in search of their first league win of he season. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Bayern Munich have won all of the last three games against Greuther Furth and it would be quite a story if the newly-promoted side manage to break this jinx with a win of their own this Friday.
Tough test for the hosts this Friday
Greuther Furth secured a place in the German top-flight last season having finished in second place behind VfL Bochum in the second-tier of German football. This must've been exciting news for the Greuther faithful given that they would see their side feature in the Bundesliga for the first time since the 2012/2013 season. Unsurprisingly, it hasn't been a blissful start to the campaign as they head into their sixth round of Bundesliga fixtures having managed just a point from the previous five. Last time out, they recorded their 3rd loss in a row going down to Hertha Berlin in the German capital. This poor run of form has seen them sit at the bottom of the standings and with the defending champions paying them a visit this Friday, the situation might just get worse for the new boys.
Bayern Munich didn't kick off the season with a positive result, however, they've been on the ascension since with four wins since their opening day draw in the league and seven wins in all competitions. A dominant display in the Nou Camp against Barcelona was followed up with an even more dominant performance last weekend as they put seven unanswered goals past VfL Bochum. Five different Bayern Munich players were on the scoresheet including Lewandowski with his 7th league goal of the season. With Nagelsmann in full throttle, it's going to be a lot for the other competitors to deny them their 32nd Bundesliga crown.

Greuther Furth vs Bayern Munich Prediction: 0-3
Greuther have found life difficult in the German Bundesliga after just five games played. It doesn't get harder than Bayern Munich with the Bavarians netting 20 times in those five games. That being said, we expect them to stretch their winning run in the league to five games.
