"Following their first defeat of the season on Wednesday evening ( 3-1 in the Champions League at Arsenal), FC Bayern are aiming to quickly get back to winning ways. On Saturday (15:30 CET), the Munich side will have the opportunity to start a new run: Bayern host FC St. Pauli at the Allianz Arena in what will be a clash of contrasts."
"Two further statistics that emphasise the current disparity between Bayern and St. Pauli: FCB have the highest expected goals average in the current Bundesliga season (29.7), while their upcoming opponents from Hamburg have the lowest (10.7). The Munich men have also been behind in games for the shortest period this season (56 minutes), St. Pauli for the longest (571 minutes)."
"With 31 points from the first11 games, FC Bayern are enjoying the joint-best season of any club in Bundesliga history. Only FCB themselves in 2015/16 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2023/24 had as many points after 11 matchdays. Bayern are the only undefeated club in the big five leagues in Europe this season (ten wins, one draw). Bayern's unbeaten run of 20 consecutive Bundesliga games following on from last season (16 wins, four draws) is their longest since 2019/2020, when they went 21 games unbeaten."
FC Bayern seek an immediate response after a 3-1 Champions League loss and will face FC St. Pauli at the Allianz Arena. Bayern sit on ten wins and one draw from 11 Bundesliga matches, totaling 31 points and matching one of the best starts in league history. St. Pauli have lost eight straight games after opening strongly and now hold the Bundesliga's lowest expected goals average. Bayern lead the league in expected goals (29.7), have been behind for only 56 minutes this season, and have scored 41 goals across 11 matches.
