Mansion Sports – The 2025/2026 Bundesliga season presents another noteworthy fixture as Bayern Munich prepare to face St. Pauli on matchday 12.

The match is scheduled to take place at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, 29 November 2025, with kickoff set for 16:00 local time.

Following their first defeat of the season, Bayern Munich aim to immediately return to winning form as they host a St. Pauli side currently struggling to escape a negative run.

Vincent Kompany’s squad previously fell to Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday night, while St. Pauli have not secured a league victory since September.

Below is Mansion Sports’ projected lineup for Bayern Munich vs. St. Pauli in November 2025.

Pre-Match Conditions of Both Teams

Bayern Munich

After four demanding months and 19 competitive fixtures without defeat, Bayern Munich’s unbeaten streak has finally come to an end.

Their loss to the Premier League leaders at the Emirates Stadium reflected a dip in performance that had already begun to show in recent weeks.

Signs of inconsistency appeared even before the November international break, when their run of 16 consecutive victories was halted by a 2–2 draw away to Union Berlin, a match rescued by Harry Kane’s stoppage-time goal.

A similar pattern emerged against Freiburg last weekend, where Bayern fell behind 0–2 within 17 minutes before eventually securing a 6–2 comeback win.

Now, following their first defeat of the season, Kompany and his men aim to rebound in order to protect their position at the top of the Bundesliga for a 44th consecutive matchday, surpassing a club record set in 1973.

St. Pauli

St. Pauli have also made history this season, though not in a positive manner. Alexander Blessin’s side enter this fixture on the back of eight straight league defeats—the longest losing streak in the club’s history—and have failed to score in five of their last six matches.

Despite the ongoing support from the club’s management, it is clear that St. Pauli are bracing for a difficult relegation battle. Their struggles continued with a 1–0 home defeat to Union Berlin last weekend.

Given that they have not secured a win since mid-September, the challenge of claiming their first victory over Bayern Munich since 2002 appears formidable.

Even so, St. Pauli hope to produce their best performance, recalling their most recent visit to the Allianz Arena in March, which ended in a narrow 3–2 defeat.

Bayern Munich vs. St. Pauli Lineups for November 2025

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1)

Bayern Munich are expected to regain the services of Serge Gnabry, who missed the Freiburg match due to a minor injury but immediately contributed an assist against Arsenal. Hiroki Ito has also returned from a foot injury and provided an assist midweek.

In addition, Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala are nearing their comebacks—news that certainly raises concern for their Bundesliga rivals.

Whatever the final outcome, this fixture remains compelling as part of the Bundesliga’s ever-dramatic and unpredictable competition.
