TodayBayern vs Wolfsburg 20:00 SS5Schalke 04 vs MainzFrankfurt vs DortmundSpVgg Fürth vs F DüsseldorfBERLIN – After four matches, Bayern Munich have amassed the maximum 12 points and scored 14 goals - their best-ever start to a season.On Tuesday the side from the Bavarian capital are at home to Wolfsburg -a side that has lost 16 of 17 matches in Munich, with the only draw dating back to 2001.Dutch midfielder Arjen Robben told journalists after Bayern won 2-0 at Schalke on Saturday that the side was in good shape."I had the feeling from the first day of pre-season that we are really hungry. The team wants to prove and achieve something,” he said.Last season Bayern looked similarly invincible, but in the end failed to win any trophies and finished second in the league and lost in the Champions League and German Cup finals.Not surprisingly, officials have warned against being too euphoric.  "We can’t deny it’s a good start. But a good start is only any use if you keep marching on,” said sporting director Matthias Sammer.In Saturday’s 2-0 win coach Jupp Heynckes made three changes from the side that beat Valencia in the Champions League midweek and it seems likely that an altered side will start against Wolfsburg.
