Bayern face promoted Kiel in the Bundesliga's third round of action on Saturday. Bayern were one of three teams to win their first two games. However, they were close victories when the bookmakers had expected the Bavarians to win easily.

One positive thing is that four of the five goals, the other being an own goal, were scored by different players. In both games, they could have scored in the first half and England's top scorer Kane scored from the penalty spot against Freiburg before representing England in the international break where he also scored.

Kiel, on the other hand, are one of three teams at the bottom who failed to win and conceded five goals in their first two games. Kiel, however, did not play too badly at home in their last defeat against Wolfsburg. They lost 0-2 as the visitors scored two early goals in less than three minutes, but Kiel showed great attacking play and equalled them in shots with 13, they just needed more precision.

Bayern were also down against Wolfsburg in the opening match, but they knew how to turn the score around. Kompany has praised the mental state of his players, saying that they grow in the face of adversity or when the games become complicated.
