BERLIN (AP) \u2014 Bayern Munich is running away with the Bundesliga again.<\/p>\n

But this time, he even broke his own record.<\/p>\n

The Bavarian giants have scored an astonishing 71 goals in 18 games, but have conceded just 14 and drawn just two games. They won the remaining 16 games.<\/p>\n

With 50 points and a goal difference of +57, Bayern have had their best start to the season in Bundesliga history at this stage.<\/p>\n

And its rivals are struggling to catch up.<\/p>\n

Bayern already have an 11-point lead over Borussia Dortmund and are on track to win their 13th Bundesliga title, their first in 14 years.<\/p>\n

Bayern face Augsburg in the Bayern derby on Saturday, putting them in danger of relegation.<\/p>\n

major matches<\/h2>\n

Bayern have not dropped a point since the surprising incident. 2-2 draw with Mainz<\/span> Mid-December. Augsburg have not won a game since defeating Bayer Leverkusen (the only team to break Bayern’s dominance in the past 13 years) in early December.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen lost to Olympiakos in the Champions League on Tuesday and will be looking to end a three-game losing streak against visiting Werder Bremen on Saturday.<\/p>\n

St. Pauli will face Hamburger SV in Friday’s city derby. St Pauli, who came from behind to win in August, could climb out of the bottom of the table if they avoid defeat, with relegation candidates Mainz playing Wolfsburg and Heidenheim facing Leipzig on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Also on Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt, who were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday, host in-form Hoffenheim. Frankfurt are still looking for a new manager following the sacking of Dino Topmeler. The team conceded three goals in all games in 2026.<\/p>\n

Featured players<\/h2>\n

Harry Kane wants to “make up for” his penalty miss in Bayern’s 2-0 Champions League win over Union Saint Giroise on Wednesday, after missing a penalty and scoring two goals. He has already scored 34 goals in 29 appearances for Bayern this season.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Jackson returns to Bayern as a substitute Senegal wins the African Cup<\/span> of the nation. Jackson scored two goals for Teranga Lions in the competition, but his minutes may be limited upon his return to Munich.<\/p>\n

Stuttgart have the return of Bilal El Kanous, who was a starter for the hosts after impressing for Morocco at the Africa Cup.<\/p>\n

Who is out?<\/h2>\n

Morocco’s Elisse Ben Segir returned to Leverkusen from the African Cup after suffering an ankle problem. Defender Edmond Tapsova also returned from the game against Burkina Faso with an injury, while forward Natan Tela and goalkeeper Mark Frecken are on “long-term sidelines” with serious knee injuries suffered in Leverkusen’s defeat to Hoffenheim last weekend.<\/p>\n

Jamal Musiala makes his long-awaited return to Bayern despite a short appearance last weekend<\/span>but he returns to a team that did just fine without him. Bayern attackers Kane, Luis Diaz, Serge Gnabry and 17-year-old Renato Karl have been outstanding, giving coach Vincent Kompany the selection headache any manager would want.<\/p>\n
