Saturday’s German Bundesliga action takes us to the capital, where Union Berlin welcome Bayern Munich to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
It’s been a season of struggle for Union Berlin, with their form fluctuating and their performances inconsistent. The Iron Ones head into this game, teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, a mere three points away from the bottom three. They’ve only managed a single point from their last three games, failing to score a single goal. Their last victory came over a month ago against Werder Bremen (2-1), and a Bundesliga-high 16 games have seen them unable to find the net.
Playing at home hasn’t turned their fortunes either, with only one win from their last four outings in front of their fans, and things are not about to get any easier with the visit of Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich: Sharpening Up for the Final Push
Bayern’s morale should be high heading into this encounter following their midweek 1-0 victory over Arsenal, which saw them progress to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Despite the disappointment of their 11-year Bundesliga reign ending last weekend with Bayer Leverkusen’s coronation, Thomas Tuchel’s men will be determined to hold onto second place, especially with Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund breathing down their necks.
Bayern have kept clean sheets in their last two games, including the Arsenal win, which came on the heels of a 2-0 victory over Cologne. They will need to maintain this new-found defensive solidity to secure all three points in the capital on Saturday.
Another factor in Bayern’s favour in this matchup is their historical dominance over the hosts. The Bavarians have never lost to Union Berlin, boasting six wins and three draws in their nine meetings. Bayern won the reverse fixture 1-0 victory on matchday 13 and will be confident of replicating that success on matchday 30.

Several factors heavily favour Bayern Munich in this encounter. Their recent Champions League win has boosted morale, while their new-found defensive solidity strengthens their grip on the game.
