A home win for the Bavarians
FC Bayern Munich are currently 6th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 4 points from 2 matches, a solid start for Die Bayern, while 1. FC Union Berlin are 15th and have already fallen off the map with just 1 point from their opening 3 matches.
After a 4-1 DFB-Pokal win at VfL Osnabrück, a 0-0 draw in the Bundesliga at Schalke, and a 5-0 blowout of Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League at home, Bayern will come into this one with confidence. Vincent Kompany's side have played some fantastic football in the early stages of the season, playing a high-tempo, possession-based style with an aggressive counter-press and fluid, shape-shifting players.
Union, on the other hand, will come into this off the back of two defeats, a 4-0 loss in the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen and a 3-1 loss at home to Schalke in the same competition, and they'll be under huge pressure at the Allianz Arena.
Mauro Lustrinelli has tried to make his Union side a sturdy, physical unit with a bit more flair and pace than in previous years. However, a match against Bayern will test that balance and it'll be interesting to see if Union can be as compact when they're pinned back for long periods on Friday. They'll need to be in top form defensively, countering and transitioning when they can to make this a competitive fixture.
Bayern can get the better of Die Eisernen
A 4-0 win for Bayern when these two sides last met at the Allianz in the Bundesliga 2025/2026, while Die Bayern have won two of the last three meetings. That's not all, Bayern have a perfect record at home this season, while Union have been poor away from home.
We're going for a home win in the outright market here, anything other than a Bayern win would be a huge upset and the 41/5 odds on the draw make that very clear. Bayern to win to nil also looks likely, given Union's lack of goals away from home and Bayern's control over the home matches they play.
Aleksandar Pavlovic leads the scoring for Bayern with 1 goal from 2 Bundesliga games, while Ismael Saibari has been pulling the strings with 2 assists in his 2 Bundesliga appearances. Tim Skarke has been Union's main man with 2 Bundesliga goals in 3 matches, while Josip Juranovic has kept the visitors ticking over with 2 assists in 3 games.
