A lot of Bundesliga history can be made this weekend, and Robert Lewandowski is one of the men able to do it. With a goal against Hannover 96, Lewandowski will become the first player since the 1976-77 season to score 30 goals in a season campaign.
However, Lewandowski has certainly cooled down since the start of April. After scoring 13 goals in the first 13 games of the Rückrunde, Lewandowski has only managed 5 goals in his last 10 games. While this is a strike rate that most forwards around the world would kill to have,
If he manages a goal against Hannover Lewandowski would become one of only ten players to score 30 goals in a solitary Bundesliga season. Bayern legend Gerd Müller reached the historic mark on five separate occasions.
| Player | Club | Season | Goals | |
| 1 | Gerd Müller | Bayern Munich | 1971-72 | 40 |
| 2 | Gerd Müller | Bayern Munich | 1969-70 | 38 |
| 3 | Gerd Müller | Bayern Munich | 1972-73 | 36 |
| 4 | Dieter Müller | FC Köln | 1976-77 | 34 |
| 5 | Lothar Emmerich | Borussia Dortmund | 1965-66 | 31 |
| 6 | Gerd Müller | Bayern Munich | 1973-74 | 30 |
| 7 | Jupp Heynckes | Borussia Mönchengladbach | 1973-74 | 30 |
| 8 | Gerd Müller | Bayern Munich | 1968-69 | 30 |
| 9 | Uwe Seeler | Hamburg | 1963-64 | 30 |
In fact, Lewandowski and Thomas Müller still have an opportunity to become the highest scoring duo in a single season. They would need to score six goals against the third worst defensive team in the league. Anything is possible.
