Fans can catch the action live from the BayArena in Leverkusen, starting at 6:30 PM on Saturday evening.
Despite FC Bayern Munich’s strong start to the season, the championship race has become increasingly competitive.

Xabi Alonso aims to keep the pressure on with another three points in this crucial encounter.
SC Freiburg, under the guidance of Julian Schuster, has exceeded expectations this season and currently sits in fifth place.
