Bundesliga attendance figures will top 13 million for the first time in the league's 48-year history if the final round of games are a sellout.

The current record, from last season, stands at 12,990,967 fans, with an average of 42,454 per game. Average fan attendance can reach 42,655 this season.

Official numbers from the German football league are expected in around two weeks, after the clubs confirm their figures.
