Bayern Munich face St. Pauli after UCL win over Benfica.
In a clash where past dominance meets newfound ambition, struggling FC St. Pauli host Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, hoping to break their home woes and secure a stunning victory at Millerntor-Stadion this Saturday.
St. Pauli
Newly promoted side St. Pauli stunned Hoffenheim 2-0 last weekend to secure their second win in the current Bundesliga season. Goals from Oladapo Afolayan at the 20th minute and Andreas Albers in injury time helped them secure the win.
The home side occupies the 15th position on the log with eight points, having earned two wins, two draws, and five losses. They have scored 11 goals and conceded seven.
St. Pauli have not scored a single goal across their opening four Bundesliga home games of this season, a joint negative record in the division. Additionally, the Neighbourhood Kickers have only picked up two points at home and are winless in their last nine Bundesliga home games, marking an ongoing negative club record.
A fifth winless home game against Bayern Munich would see them equal their negative club record from 1989/90. St. Pauli have only won one of their 10 home games in professional football against Bayern Munich, with the last meeting in May 2011 seeing Bayern win 8-1 in Hamburg, the heaviest defeat St. Pauli have suffered in top-flight football.
Manager Alexander Blessin is expected to keep the attacking trio of Afolayan, Johannes Eggestein, and Morgan Guilavogui in a 3-4-3 formation. However, Blessin will have to contend with the absence of Elias Saad, Sören Ahlers, and Scott Banks, while Connor Metcalfe and Ben Voll are also ruled out due to injuries.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich got their UEFA Champions League campaign back on track with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Benfica on Wednesday. Jamal Musiala's goal in the 67th minute was enough for the Bavarians to extend their winning streak to four games in all competitions.
The league leaders remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses following a 3-0 win over Union Berlin. The 23 points garnered from his first nine Bundesliga games in charge have helped Manager Vincent Kompany record the best start by a Bayern Munich coach since Carlo Ancelotti in 2016.
Only Ottmar Hitzfeld has ever had more points, with 25 points in 1998. The Bavarians will travel to St. Pauli this weekend, hoping to exert their dominance with the head-to-head standing at 10 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in the last 14 meetings.
The 33-time league champions have netted a league-high 32 goals, while St. Pauli has scored a league-low seven goals in the Bundesliga this season. Harry Kane is expected to lead the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Sacha Boey, Hiroki Itō, and Aleksandar Pavlović are currently on the treatment table.
