Union vs Bayern prediction, H2H and probable lineups, November 8, 2025
It’s a big Bundesliga weekend as Union Berlin host Bayern Munich at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Union will try to pull off an upset against the German giants, while Bayern aim to keep their title charge rolling. The last few meetings have been one-sided, but Union have shown they can be stubborn at home.
Form Guide
Union Berlin:
Union’s form has been patchy lately, with a mix of draws and narrow losses. They’ve struggled for consistency in front of goal and their defense has been leaky at times. Still, their home crowd gives them a huge lift, and they’ll be counting on that energy to challenge Bayern.
Bayern Munich:
Bayern are in their usual groove, racking up wins and goals for fun. Their attack is flowing, with Kane, Musiala, and Sané linking up beautifully. The only concern for them might be some defensive lapses, but they usually outscore their opponents anyway.
Head-to-Head
The record between these two sides speaks for itself — Bayern have dominated most meetings. Union Berlin have occasionally held them to a draw, but a win against Bayern remains rare. Last season, Bayern picked up comfortable victories home and away, and they’ll be confident of repeating that.
Team News
Union Berlin:
Union are still without their key striker due to injury, while a few players remain doubtful for this clash. Expect them to stick with a compact setup, using counter-attacks as their main weapon.
Bayern Munich:
Bayern could rest a few regular starters, but with their depth, the lineup will still be stacked with talent. Neuer, Kimmich, and Kane are all expected to start, while Coman might get the nod on the wing.
