Union Berlin will attempt to end Bayern Munich’s perfect start to the Bundesliga season when they clash this Saturday, Softfootball reports.
Bayern made it nine-out-of-nine last weekend with a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen before beating UEFA Champions League defending champions, Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 with 10-men in Paris to show how formidable they are this season under Vincent Kompany.
As expected, Bayern Munich are confident heading into the weekend and shared a post of their match against Union Berlin via their official X handle.

Union Berlin will hope to create a shocker at Stadion An der Alten Försterei after getting positive results against Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt this season but they’ve never won against Bayern München in their past 12 meetings.
Coach Steffen Baumgart’s side are among the lowest scoring sides in the Bundesliga after scoring just 11 goals in nine matches so far. They are built on a strong defense and will hope it will help them against the in-form Bavarians.
Star player
Union Berlin are a very compact side and the main star there is the team. The Coach has built a solid unit they are willing to suffer to pick points during games. They are happy to be without the ball and hit on a break when they have it.
Bayern Munich shared a video of Harry Kane scoring a freekick on their official X handle. Watch below.

— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) November 7, 2025Harry Kane is undoubtably the star for this Bayern Munich side. He has been phenomenal since he joined the club in the summer of 2023.This season, he has scored 22 goals in his first 14 matches across all official competitions. But he might be rested against Union Berlin with the UEFA Champions League game against Arsenal in mind.
Team News
Union Berlin will be without Robert Skov due to a muscle injury since September. Also not available is defender Christopher Trimmel will after accumulating five yellow cards and earning himself a suspension.
25-year-old forward Andrej Ilic is expected to lead the attack but he is still awaiting his first goal in the Bundesliga.
Vincent Kompany in his press conference made available via Bayern Munich’s official X handle talked about his team updates and the opponent ahead of the game. He said:
The Union’s home strength is so obvious. They’re a compact team, they’re all strong in the tackle, strong runners, have a lot of experience, defend crosses superbly and immediately put pressure on the ball.
It’s going to be a battle. It won’t just be about pressing and possession, but very often about set-pieces, tackling, second balls. It’s also about taking away the opposition’s momentum. We drew there last season, so I don’t have to explain much to the lads.
It feels like the squad has got a bit bigger because Lennart Karl has developed so well. He’s shown that he can already have an impact. We also have Luis Díaz, who has needed very little time and is always fit. Harry Kane and Michael Olise too – they’re always fit.
After every game, we have to reset our account to zero immediately. I say that because that’s what I’ve experienced in my career, as a player and as a coach: it’s always about the next game. We have to learn from every game, this process never stops – whether we win or lose. I want us to remain consistent.
Alphonso Davies, who recently turned 25 years old is back in training but not ready for game situations yet until December. Also, Jamal Musiala is on track for a December comeback too.
Japan international Hiroki Ito has been out of action for seven months, but he is also back in training.
Union Berlin probable XI:
Ronnow; Doekhi, Querfeld, Leite; Khedira; Haberer, Kemlein, Schafer, Kohn; Skarke, Ilic
Bayern Munich probable XI:
Neuer; Boey, Upamecano, Kim, Bischof; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Kane, Diaz; Jackson
Softfootball prediction
Union Berlin are a good side and very compact but Bayern Munich are built like a machine and are prepared for any type of situation and that would give them the edge over their host. Union Berlin 0-2 Bayer Munich.
