Bayern Munich Aiming for Historic Goal Record Against St. Pauli
When FC Bayern faces off against FC St. Pauli this Saturday at 18:30 CEST during Bundesliga Matchday 29, they are on the brink of achieving a remarkable milestone. With an impressive tally of 100 goals, Vincent Kompany’s team possesses the most potent attack in Germany’s top league this season. A single additional goal would equal the longstanding record of 101 goals established by Bayern themselves during the 1971/72 season.
Strong Chances to Break Records
The likelihood of the Munich club breaking that record during Matchday 29 against St. Pauli is high. It has been over a year since Bayern last failed to score in a Bundesliga match; that was a 0-0 stalemate against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in February 2025. Additionally, Bayern has consistently scored at least two goals in 26 of their 28 league matches this season, and they have netted three or more goals on 22 occasions—tying another Bundesliga record they set the previous season.
Overall, the statistics from this season are undoubtedly pleasing for Bayern supporters. With 73 points accumulated after 28 games, the club is enjoying one of its strongest Bundesliga campaigns; only the 2013/14 (78 points) and 2012/13 (75 points) seasons saw more points at this juncture. Furthermore, Kompany’s squad is currently on a remarkable 23-match unbeaten streak in away league matches, dating back to last season (17 wins, 6 draws). The club’s previous records for longer unbeaten stretches on the road were 26 games from 1985 to 1987 and 33 games from 2012 to 2014.
Positive History Against St. Pauli
Bayern’s historical performance against St. Pauli offers good reason for optimism as they head to Millerntor. While Bayern managed only five victories in their first ten competitive clashes with the Kiezkickers (D4, L1), they have triumphed in 10 of the last 11 encounters. On the other hand, St. Pauli is experiencing one of their weakest seasons in Bundesliga history, currently sitting with just 25 points from 28 matches and possessing the league’s least effective attack with only 25 goals.
Nevertheless, Bayern will need to be cautious about set pieces. St. Pauli have netted 52% of their goals from dead-ball situations this season (13 out of 25), the highest rate in the league. On the flip side, 48% of the goals Bayern have conceded (13 out of 27) have also resulted from set plays, which is again the highest percentage in the division.
Aiming for Individual Records
Within Bayern’s record-breaking offensive lineup, Michael Olise is also pursuing a personal milestone. The French winger recorded his 18th assist of the Bundesliga season in last weekend’s 3-2 win against Freiburg. Since the initiation of detailed data collection in 2004, no player has achieved as many assists after 28 matchdays. Olise is approaching the overall assist record set in the 2004/05 season by Thomas Müller, who provided 21 assists during the 2019/20 season. The 24-year-old has been directly involved in 29 league goals this season, a figure only surpassed by his teammate Harry Kane (36). If Olise contributes to one more goal, he will reach the 30-goal involvement mark, making it the first instance in detailed data recording where two Bayern players achieve this milestone in one season. Before this, it only occurred once in 2008/09 with Edin Dzeko (32) and Grafite (33) from Wolfsburg.
