FC St. Pauli vs Bayern Prediction, Preview, Lineups and Team News | Bundesliga, November 9, 2024
FC St. Pauli vs Bayern Preview
- Competition: Bundesliga
- Date: Saturday, November 9
- Time: 3:30 PM GMT
- Venue: Millerntor-Stadion
FC St. Pauli vs Bayern will be one of four games kicking off in the same slot on November 9 in the Bundesliga as the 15th placed side gears up to host the league-leaders.
The hosts will enter this contest on the back of a weak run of form. They have suffered three defeats, managed one draw and won just one of their last five games across competitions. Those defeats have come against Mainz, Dortmund and RB Leipzig as FC St. Pauli continue to search for consistency. However, they won their last outing away at Hoffenheim and will look to draw inspiration from that as they go into their next match.
Bayern, on the other hand, will enter this contest on the back of a good run of form. They have won four of their last five games and suffered just one defeat as they continue to create a gap between themselves and their fellow Bundesliga clubs. Aside from the 4-1 defeat against Barcelona, Bayern have won the remaining four games to nil, scoring an impressive 16 goals in the process. They too will look to carry that form into the next match.
Having said that, let’s take a look at the team news coming from both camps.
FC St. Pauli vs Bayern Team News
FC St. Pauli Team News
From their 2-0 win at Hoffenheim, St. Pauli will be without wing back Philipp Treu, who is a doubt after coming off injured. Apart from that, the club will be without Soren Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, Elias Saad, Ben Voll, Simon Zoller and Connor Metcalfe.
Bayern Team News
The Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany stuck with a full-strength lineup for his team’s last match and will look to continue with the trend. While there were no injuries or suspensions to note from the last game, the Bavarians will continue to be without three key players. Sacha Boey, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanisic will all remain out of action for the foreseeable future.

Key Players to Watch
Elias Saad (FC St. Pauli)
Saad has been his team’s leading attacker in the Bundesliga this season. He has contributed with four goals and assists in six appearances for his team so far. One assist came in St. Pauli’s defeat at Augsburg, while Saad produced one assist and two goals in his team’s victory over Freiburg and will look to repeat the feat.
Harry Kane (Bayern)
Kane has, by far, been the leading attacker for his team in the Bundesliga. With 16 goal contributions to his name, Kane will clearly be in the spotlight for most of Bayern’s league games. The Englishman has scored 11 of those and provided five assists, making him one of the toughest players to mark while playing against Bayern.
FC St. Pauli vs Bayern Prediction
With little history to go by in terms of matches between these two teams, it is hard to pick a winner. However, recent form dictates that Bayern should win the upcoming fixture with relative ease against FC St. Pauli.
Prediction: FC St. Pauli 1-4 Bayern
