Our Predictions
Bayern are in superb form, top of the table, and have never lost to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Recent head-to-head and current standings heavily favour the Bavarians. The odds (1.28) reflect their clear superiority.
Bayern score for fun, and Union, despite their struggles, have enough firepower to trouble most defences at home. The odds (1.67) are fair given both teams’ recent scoring records and Union’s need to attack.
Bayern’s matches average over three goals, and Union’s defence has been leaky. With both teams capable of scoring and Bayern’s attacking strength, over 2.5 goals (odds 1.36) looks a solid bet.

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich – Bundesliga Showdown at the Alte Försterei
Welcome back to Extratips! The Bundesliga fires up again as Union Berlin welcome league leaders Bayern Munich to their famous Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Kick-off is set for Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 14:30 local time. The stakes are clear: Union, fighting to climb out of the danger zone, face a Bayern side looking to cement their place at the top.
Union Berlin have struggled this season, finding wins hard to come by. Their form is patchy, and the stats don’t lie—only three wins in their last 19 matches across all competitions. Defensively, they’ve been leaky, conceding over 1.5 goals per game on average. Bayern, by contrast, are in cruise control. They’ve lost just once in their last 28 games and are scoring for fun, averaging nearly three goals a game in the Bundesliga. Their last five away matches? Four wins, one draw. Union’s last five at home? Just one win, with three draws and a loss.
The head-to-head record tells its own story. Union have never beaten Bayern in the Bundesliga—12 meetings, zero wins, eight defeats. Goals have flowed for Bayern in these fixtures, with Union often outclassed and outgunned.
Key players could make the difference. For Union, Benedict Hollerbach is the main threat up front. For Bayern, Harry Kane leads the line with deadly efficiency. Tactically, Union will likely sit deep and try to frustrate, but Bayern’s passing game and relentless attack often break through even the tightest defences.
Injuries and suspensions could tilt things further. Union’s squad depth is limited, so any absentees hurt. Bayern, with their wealth of options, can rotate and still field a world-class XI.
Storylines to watch: Can Union finally break their duck against the Bavarian giants? Or will Bayern’s dominance continue? And will Union’s passionate home crowd inspire an upset, or will Bayern’s quality shine through?
Expect Bayern to control the ball, create chances, and score. Union may nick a goal, but keeping Bayern out for 90 minutes seems a tall order. The smart money is on goals—Bayern to win, both teams to score, and over 2.5 goals looking likely for this clash.
