BERLIN, April 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Bayern Munich need just two goals at St Pauli on Saturday to break the 54-year goalscoring record for a Bundesliga season.

Vincent Kompany's runaway league leaders have already scored 100 Bundesliga goals this season -- just one goal short of the best mark in German top-flight history -- with six matches of the 34-game campaign still to play.

The previous record was set in 1971-72 by a barnstorming Bayern side featuring club legends Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Mueller and Uli Hoeness.

That Bayern have already brought up their Bundesliga century shows their dominance this term.

At their current rate, Bayern are on track for 121 goals, which would be a better mark than the record in either the Premier League or La Liga, which both have 38-game seasons.

Even the all-time mark in a top-five European league of 125, set by Torino in a 40-game Serie A season in 1947-48, would be within reach.

If Bayern may have to achieve the feat without Harry Kane, who is chasing a league record of his own.

With 31 goals in 26 Bundesliga appearances, Kane is 10 short of the all-time record of 41 set by Robert Lewandowski in 2020-21.

Kane missed England's March internationls with an ankle injury but returned to score what proved to be the winner in Bayern's 2-1 Champions League win at Real Madrid on Tuesday.

However the England captain did not look 100 percent and could be rested against St Pauli with Wednesday's quarter-final second leg in mind.

One player almost certain to start is Michael Olise, who is also on track for a record-breaking season.

Olise, who assisted Kane's goal against Real, has laid on 18 Bundesliga goals so far this campaign, three short of the all-time record set by Thomas Mueller in 2019-20.

One to watch: Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart)

Stuttgart midfield lynchpin Angelo Stiller's form not only earned him a return to the Germany national side last month, it has won him admirers from across the sporting spectrum.

Teenage darts sensation and Manchester United fan Luke Littler called Stiller his favourite German player in an interview at the Premier League Darts event in Berlin last month.

Speaking to DAZN, Littler singled out Stiller, saying "come to United -- we need help".

Stiller's return to form has coincided with an excellent run for Stuttgart, who have lost just two of their past 15 games to close in on a return to the Champions League.

"That's great, he's also my favourite darts player," Stiller said of Littler in an interview with the Bundesliga website on Friday.

Stiller said he was both honoured and a tad annoyed by Littler's attempt to lure him to Old Trafford.

"It's part of the business that rumours arise and things are said. You should not deal with it so much and just do your own thing."
