This after a 3-2 home win last week against Köln, which proves that the champions were getting into rhythm following the opening day draw.
Naglesmann’s side will aim to continue the stellar show and pick up their fourth win in succession across all competitions on the weekend.
On the other hand, Hertha is yet to open their account in the Bundesliga this season.

With the games coming in thick and fast, Hertha will look to start off well as they aim to prove their mettle and improve from last season.
Both sides last met in the Bundesliga in February where Bayern edged out Hertha 1-0 with Coman’s first half strike proving to be the difference.

Bayern Munich possible 11:
Neuer, Stanisic, Upamecano, Sule, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnabry, Muller, Musiala and Lewandowski
Hertha BSC possible 11:
Schwolow, Pekarik, Boyata, Stark, Plattenhardt, Serder, Ascacibar, Lukebakio, Boateng, Jovetic and Selke
Prediction: Bayern 4-0 Hertha
Bayern should be comfortable winners once again as they are up against an out-of-form Hertha side.
A mid-week 12-0 win will only the boost the confidence of Naglesmann’s men and we expect another sublime performance from them.
Players to watch out for: Lewandowski, Gnabry, Jovetic, Lukebakio.
