Bayern targeting Borussia Dortmund’s record in Der Klassiker

You can definitely say that Bayern have made a dream start to this season, winning all 10 of their competitive fixtures to set a new club record. Only Saturday’s opponents Borussia Dortmund have ever got off to a better start, when they won their first 11 matches of 2015/16. Bayern now have a chance to take that record off their rivals with victory at the Allianz Arena, given their superior goal difference compared to BVB’s run a decade ago. Here’s some of the key stats and facts ahead of Der Klassiker on Matchday 7.

Europe’s longest unbeaten runs

However, Dortmund have also made an excellent start to this campaign and are also yet to lose any of their nine competitive fixtures. It makes Saturday’s game a clash between the two teams on the longest unbeaten runs in Europe’s top five leagues right now. BVB are actually undefeated in their last 14 Bundesliga games – topped only by Bayern on a 15-match streak.

Scoring machine

Bayern’s formidable attack has powered that impressive start, with 25 goals the most a team has ever scored over the first six matchdays of a Bundesliga season. Vincent Kompany’s men have in fact netted three or more goals in each of their last seven league fixtures. The only time a Bundesliga team has managed a longer such run was when Bayern themselves went eight in a row under Felix Magath in 2005.

Kane vs. Guirassy

Harry Kane also has yet more records of his own in his sights. Having become the first player in Bundesliga history to score 11 goals over the first six matchdays of a season, he’s now targeting the record after seven. That stands at 13 and was set by current Dortmund frontman Serhou Guirassy. Like Kane, he’s been in excellent form of late in 2025, scoring 32 competitive goals. Kane has 39 of his own, topped only by Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé with 44.

Kompany’s exceptional record

Bayern’s 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt took Kompany up to 100 points as a coach in the Bundesliga from just 40 games. Only Pep Guardiola has reached that century quicker, doing so in his 39th fixture. With an average of 2.5 points and 3.1 goals scored per game, the Belgian boasts two other records for himself in Germany’s top flight.

Fortress Allianz Arena

Yet Bayern have also developed into a rock-solid team under former centre-back Kompany. They boast the meanest defence in the Bundesliga with only three goals conceded, followed closely by Dortmund on four. The Bavarians have in fact gone 465 minutes without being breached at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga, keeping five straight clean sheets. A sixth now would equal the club’s record from 1998/99 under Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Germany’s most played fixture

Saturday’s game will be the 138th edition of what’s now known as Der Klassiker. Since the Bundesliga was created in 1963, no other fixture has been played so many times in German professional football. Bayern dominate the head-to-head with 67 wins to 33 for Dortmund, plus 37 draws. However, the Reds have failed to beat the Black-and-Yellows in any of the last three meetings (two draws, one defeat) – a record that needs putting straight before any other this weekend.
