FC St. Pauli vs Bayern München

FC St. Pauli have only won one of their 10 home games in professional football against FC Bayern (D3, L6): 2-1 in February 2002. The last meeting in May 2011 saw Bayern win 8-1 in Hamburg – they have never recorded a bigger away win in the Bundesliga, while St. Pauli have never suffered a heavier top-flight defeat.

FC St. Pauli have scored a league-low seven goals in the Bundesliga this season, while FC Bayern have netted a league-high 32 goals. No other coach in Bundesliga history has ever seen their team score as many goals in their first nine games in the division as Vincent Kompany (32).

FC St. Pauli have failed to score a single goal across their opening four Bundesliga home games of this season, a joint negative record in the division. Greuther Fürth also drew a blank in their first four home matches in 2012/13, before finding the net in their fifth home game against Werder Bremen.

With 23 points from his first nine Bundesliga games in charge, Vincent Kompany has recorded the best start by an FC Bayern coach since Carlo Ancelotti in 2016 – only Ottmar Hitzfeld has ever had more points than the Belgian after his first nine top-flight games in charge of FCB (25 points in 1998).

Six of FC St. Pauli’s eight points this season have come away from home. Spanning multiple seasons, the Kiezkicker are winless in their last nine Bundesliga home games (D2, L7), an ongoing negative club record. A fifth winless home game at the start of a season would see them equal their negative club record from 1989/90.
