Bundesliga Matchday 20 - January 31, 11:30am
Where: Volksparkstadion, Hamburg
- Bayern are undefeated in 18 Bundesliga away games (14W, 4 D). Their last away loss was at Mainz in December of 2024.
- As a newly promoted team, HSV are actually doing well this season. They are in 14th place and 4 or more points from the teams currently in the relegation spots.
- Hamburg have picked up 15 of a possible 18 points at home so far. They’re unbeaten in five Bundesliga games at the Volksparkstadion (two victories, three draws) and have scored 13 of their 17 goals at home.
- Tactically, HSV are one of the best organized teams in the league. Hardly any other side is as consistent in defending counterattacks, and hardly any other team gives so little away after losing the ball or conceding set-pieces. They've yet to concede a goal from a corner kick, have conceded just one goal from a counterattack and allow the fewest attempts on target from quick transition situations in the league
- Hamburg have gone 5 games without a win. They have drawn in 3 games and two were goalless.
- With an average of 115.5 kilometers per game, Hamburg are the weakest team in the league in terms of ground covered.
- The fixture has been a one-sided affair in recent years, with Bayern going unbeaten in 20 competitive matches in a row (17 wins, three draws) since the 2-0 defeat to HSV in September 2009.
- FCB have won all of their last nine encounters, scoring 39 goals and conceding two.
- The German record champions have only celebrated more Bundesliga victories over VfB Stuttgart (72) than Hamburger SV (66).
- No team has scored as many goals against one club than FCB against HSV (252) in the history of the competition.
- Michael Olise has 14 assists in the Bundesliga this season. That's the best stats in Europe's top five leagues. Delivering one more would equal his tally from the whole of last season (15). Since data recording began in 2004/05, only Thomas Müller recorded more assists after 19 matchdays, in 2021/22 (16).
- The Frenchman is also chasing his own record from last season, when he delivered an assist in five consecutive Bundesliga games from April to May 2025. He's currently on four in a row.
- Olise has been involved in 24 goals this season (ten goals, 14 assists) and is now just one behind top scorer Harry Kane (25).
- Hiroki Ito will make his 100th Bundesliga appearance if he plays in Hamburg. He made 85 for VfB Stuttgart in the topflight and is on 14 for Bayern. Last week he scored his first goal for FCB in the Bundesliga.
