FC Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Bayern plan to tighten its grip on the Bundesliga title race with a dominant win over Union Berlin.

Bayern Munich are set to make a trip to Berlin for their upcoming match in the Bundesliga. The league leaders will play against Union Berlin after their recent victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League.

The ‘Die Roten’ are very much on course for another Bundesliga title this season and are sitting at the top with 61 points in 25 games. Defending champions Leverkusen are trailing behind with 51 points in the same number of matches. At this point it seems that only a miracle will halt Bayern from reclaiming the German title for a record 33rd time.

Union Berlin on the other hand have a completely different story. After losing three back-to-back matches, Steffen Baumgart’s team won against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-2) in an away fixture. The win will surely give the club that much-needed confidence, which will be very crucial against a dangerous Bayern.

• Location: Berlin, Germany
• Stadium: Alte Forsterei
• Date: Saturday, March 15, 2025
• Kick-Off Time: 8:00 PM IST

Players to Watch

Diogo Leite (Union Berlin)

The work of a defender is always a tad bit underappreciated. It’s invariably the goal-scorer followed by the assist maker who gets the limelight. Then comes the goalkeeper whose heroics get applauded if a penalty shootout comes into play. The defenders usually end up being the last to be talked about as their performances usually go under the radar.

Diogo Leite is one such center back who has been a silent force in the backline of the Berlin team. The Portuguese international has won a record 270 tackles and 84 aerial duels for his club. Leite has played in all the Bundesliga games this season barring one and has also completed 82.9 passes so far.

He will be a key player holding up Bayern’s strong attacking lineup and also monitoring Harry Kane in the box.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has scored 21 times in his 23 appearances for the club this season. That speaks volumes about the impact he makes on the pitch. The striker also has six assists to his name and is equally at ease in setting up goals.

Revered as a quality poacher, Kane’s ability to put himself in the right places makes him an outstanding striker. Proficient at dispatching penalties, Kane’s poise in front of goals makes him a nightmare for defenders.

Match Facts:

• Rani Khedira has more yellow cards (6) than any other player at Union Berlin. Konrad Laimer has collected seven for Bayern Munich.
• When Union Berlin lead 1-0 at home, they win in 77% of their matches.
• Bayern Munich have lost none of their last five away matches.

Match Prediction

Bayern Munich have never lost against Union Berlin and from the way things are going, the result might not be any different from the past encounters. Vincent Kompany’s team have found the groove and seem unstoppable at this point in time. Will Union Berlin be able to cause an upset against Bayern like Vfl Bochum? Well, highly unlikely!

Prediction: Union Berlin 0- 3 Bayern Munich
