Bayern Form & Bilanz Check
Vincent Kompany is experiencing the best start of a Bayern Munich coach since Ancelotti in 2016 with 23 points in his first nine Bundesliga games – only Ottmar Hitzfeld got 25 points in his first nine Bundesliga games with Bayern in 1998, more than the Belgian. Bayern have scored at least three times in each of their last five away CL matches – a record set in the CL, which had previously only been equaled by Bayern themselves in 2019/2020 under Flick. Never before in the history of the CL has a club scored 22 goals in their first five away games of a season like Bayern have done this season.
Kane scores against all
Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane has scored against all 18 clubs he has played against in the Bundesliga, St. Pauli will be his 19th different club – only Miroslav Klose has played against more different clubs in Bundesliga history and scored against all of them – 28. Kane’s 16 direct assists after nine match days has only been bettered by one player since records began in 2004/05 – himself in the previous season with 17.
Bayern facts & analysis
- Best Bayern start to a BL campaign since 2016
- Scored at least three times in each of their last BL away games
- Have kept a clean sheet in their last four competitive games
Alexander Blessin will line up his team in the usual 3-4-3 formation. The newly-promoted team will continue to be without their most valuable player, Elias Saad. Jackson Irvine recently managed two assists in a game for the third time in his 107th competitive game for Pauli, against Hoffenheim. Blessin will again be hoping for creativity in midfield. Hamburg’s absentees are Sören Ahlers (knee surgery), Philipp Treu (thigh injury), Ben Voll (jaw fracture), Connor Metcalfe (muscular problems), Sascha Burchert (surgery) and Simon Zoller (muscular problems).
Bayern will line up in a 4-2-3-1 system again under Vincent Kompany. In contrast to the Champions League, we can expect Coman to start again, who has scored in three consecutive BL games. He has only managed this once before in February 2023, and with his three goals so far, he has already scored as many as in the 17 games of the previous season. The Munichers are without Hiroki Ito (broken metatarsal), Josip Stanisic (torn lateral ligament in the knee), Aleksandar Pavlović (broken collarbone) and Sacha Boey (torn meniscus).
