What a stunning season it has been for Harry Kane in what is his first campaign outside of English football. The England captain has been an integral figure in Bayern Munich, despite it sitting in second at this stage in a campaign for the first time in 11 years. Nevertheless, Kane has put together 31 Bundesliga goals in 26 outings already.

Will Kane score this weekend with the first or last goal?
From a total of 37 goals this season for Bayern, Kane has racked up 31 in the Bundesliga and six in the Champions League, starting with a goal on his league debut against Werder Bremen where he scored the game's second goal.
In fact, it wasn't until gameweek four where he netted the first goal of a game with a header against Bayer Leverkusen in a 2-2 draw. Kane then didn't get the game's first goal for another handful of more matches until another thumping header in an 8-0 thrashing over Darmstadt which also saw him register his second hat-trick.
England's all-time top scorer has also scored the first goal in wins over Galatasaray, Heidenheim, Koln, Stuttgart, RB Leipzig, Lazio and Mainz while Kane has also netted the final goal of a match on six occasions.
How will Kane score this weekend?
After scoring 10 headers in the Premier League last season from his incredible tally of 30 for a side that finished eighth, Kane set a new record for most headed goals in a Premier League campaign. He has since gone on to get nine more headers already for Bayern in his debut season within his 36-goal run, including his most recent goal against Darmstadt
Being a right-footed player, the former Tottenham Hotspur man, as expected, gets most of his goals with his right foot. In fact, 20 have come this way at Bayern so far, with all the rest of his finishes outside of heading being with his left boot.
Kane hat-trick odds
Only three more players have more hat-tricks in Premier League history than Kane, as the Englishman netted eight in his Spurs days. Stunningly, he already has three for Bayern, including a famous hat-trick over Borussia Dortmund and one just two weeks ago against Mainz. In fact, with 26 games played in the Bundesliga and 31 goals scored, Kane is now already within 10 goals of Robert Lewandowski's record-breaking 41-goal tally with eight more games to play, and in truth, should he stay fit, he likely breaks that record in his first-ever season abroad.
By scoring three times in Der Klassiker, Kane became the first man to do so on his debut and put himself in a rare category of hat-trick owners in this famous German fixture. Eng;and's all-time top scorer also became the first man since Mario Gomez over 12 years ago to bag hat-tricks in back-to-back Bundesliga matches after doing so against Darmstadt before that, and that other hat-trick over Mainz means four already this season as he got one against Bochum too.
