Bayern Faces Close Call Against Mainz

Bayern Munich encountered a potential upset against the last-placed team, Mainz, but ultimately avoided embarrassment thanks to the efforts of players like Lennart Karl and Harry Kane.

Consistent Scoring from Key Players

Harry Kane, in particular, has been a regular on the scoresheet for the Bavarian giants. His contributions have played a significant role in Bayern achieving a remarkable feat in the Bundesliga. The team has already netted an impressive 51 goals this season.

New Bundesliga Record Set Early

According to data analytics provider Opta, no other team has reached this goal tally so early in a season—at just 14 matchdays in. This statistic translates to an astonishing average of 3.7 goals scored per match by Bayern.

Goal Comparison with Rivals

In contrast, Bayern’s closest competitors have managed far fewer goals. Bayer Leverkusen, currently trailing, has scored a maximum of 30 goals, while Mainz, despite their near victory in Munich, has only tallied 13 goals after 14 games.

Potential for Historic Goal Tally

If their scoring streak continues, Bayern is on track to potentially surpass the 100-goal mark for the season. The last occurrence of this achievement was in the 2019/20 season when they reached precisely 100 goals. The all-time record stands at 101 goals, set in the 1971/72 season—an achievement that Bayern could very well claim again.
