Bayern Munich, fresh off a strong performance, will look to extend their lead at the Bundesliga summit when they face St. Pauli, marking their first meeting since 2011.
The last encounter saw St. Pauli suffer a heavy 8-1 defeat, leading to their relegation. Now back in the top flight, they sit 15th and recently secured their second win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Hoffenheim. However, they are struggling offensively, having scored just seven goals, the fewest in the league.
In contrast, Bayern Munich is the league’s highest-scoring team with 32 goals and boasts a solid defense. Their recent 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League marked their fourth consecutive victory and fourth straight clean sheet, showcasing a strong turnaround after a loss to Barcelona. A recent 3-0 win over Union Berlin helped them open a three-point gap at the top, making them the only unbeaten team in the Bundesliga.
Given the current form of both teams, Bayern Munich is heavily favored to win this match.
