Bundesliga Preview: Bayern host Braunschweig

Pep Guardiola's side strengthened their grip on top spot in the German top flight with an impressive 3-0 win at Borussia Dortmund last weekend.

The Bavarian giants are now four points clear of Bayer Leverkusen at the summit, and they will be looking to make it six consecutive Bundesliga wins when the bottom-of-the-table Braunschweig visit the Allianz Arena.

Bayern's record-breaking unbeaten run now stands at 38 Bundesliga games, while Torsten Lieberknecht's Braunschweig have won just twice in their first season back in the top flight for 28 years.

Gertjan Verbeek's side, who sit second bottom, have drawn eight of their 13 league matches this season and will be the underdogs at the BayArena.

Kiessling, who was last term's Bundesliga top-scorer with 25, has netted eight times in the league so far this season.

Meanwhile, Dortmund, who dropped seven points behind Bayern after Saturday's defeat, will aim to bounce back at Mainz.
