Bayern leads on goal difference from promoted Leipzig before the sides meet in Munich on Wednesday.
It seemed the defending champions were already looking ahead to the next game as they produced an uninspired performance against struggling Darmstadt, which had fired coach Norbert Meier on Monday after six straight losses.
