Munich, Dec 20: To see how dominant Bayern Munich has been this Bundesliga season, just look at the goal difference.With 51 goals scored — more than 3.6 per game — and only 11 conceded, Bayern’s goal difference is a whopping +40.
Best of the rest is second-place Leipzig’s +13 and no team below sixth has a positive goal difference, in part because of the bruising, high-scoring losses many of them have suffered at the hands of Bayern and Harry Kane.
Bayern’s last game of 2025 promises another big win. Sunday’s opponent is Heidenheim, the team with the worst defensive record in the league.
After a rare slip-up in a 2-2 draw with Mainz last week, facing relegation-threatened Heidenheim offers Bayern a chance to get back to business as usual. But it will have to do without injured goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Bayern leads Leipzig by nine points and Heidenheim is 17th but won two of its last three games.
