Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Bundesliga 2026-27
Both of the last two matches between these sides ended in favour of the Bavarians!
Bayern Munich will now go head-to-head against 1. FC Union Berlin for their matchweek 4 contest of the Bundesliga 2026-27 season. This can turn out to be an entertaining outing, taking place at the Allianz Arena.
Vincent Kompany’s men are undefeated in their campaign at the moment. They have secured four wins in their last five matches. One of the games ended in a draw for them.
The Bavarians have been a part of three league games. They have only failed to score a goal once. Bayern Munich continue their attacking approach coming into the 2026-27 campaign as well.
They will once again be looking to come up with high pressing. That is surely going to trouble the visitors. Being at home will be a big advantage for Kompany’s men.
The Iron Ones have not secured a win in the Bundesliga this season. They are coming in after securing a 1-3 loss at the hands of FC Schalke. The Mauro Lustrinelli-led side have conceded seven goals in their last two matches and have only scored once in return.
FC Union Berlin will be away from home, and it is only going to make things worse for them. Against a strong attack from Bayern Munich, they will most likely perish. To avoid this, the visitors should not allow many chances to the German giants.
