Bayern, last season's UCL champions, head into the fixture on the back of wins over Atletico Madrid (4-0) and Lokomotiv Moscow (1-2) to start their title defence. 
 
A late Joshua Kimmich goal secured all three points for Bayern in Russia on matchday two and the utility player, who played a big part in the German club's success last season, commended Lokomotiv in the aftermath. 
 
"I thought Lokomotiv had a great game," Kimmich said.

"They were good in transition, attacking with some fast players. It was not easy in the second half but in the end we were lucky to come out with the win.

"[It was] a really hard-fought victory. We didn't play badly, but we should have finished it off earlier.

"We scored quite early on, almost from nothing, but didn't really have a clear chance to get the second, especially after the break. They had some dangerous counters, but in the end we are happy to win despite not being at our best."

Salzburg followed a 2-2 draw at home to Lokomotiv with a 3-2 loss away to Atletico Madrid. The Austrians took the lead in the Spanish capital, but a Joao Felix brace spearheaded the hosts to victory. 
 
This will be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.
