Union Berlin against Bayern: Can the home strength break the series?
On November 8, 2025, two Bundesliga football teams will face each other that could not be more opposite: Bayern Munich, the undisputed and currently strongest team, and Union Berlin, which is hungry for success and looking for a challenge. Bayern Munich has achieved an impressive eleven Bundesliga wins in a row this season. Only Bayern themselves and Borussia Mönchengladbach have set up such series in German football, with Munich's last defeat being against Bochum in March 2023.
In addition, Bayern have competed in all competitive games in the Cup and Champions League and have not given up a point so far. FC Bayern leads the league in several static categories, including most goals, best passing rate and most ball possession, while they rank in the bottom third in the categories “won duels” and “fouls on opponents”. In contrast, Union Berlin takes first place in this unpleasant statistic with 135 fouls on opponents.
Union Berlin's tactics
Coach Vincent Kompany has proven that he is willing to take risks. This was recently demonstrated in the game against Bayer Leverkusen when he substituted three of his top players - Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise - at the same time in the 59th minute. This substitution had a combined market value of around 275 million euros, making it the most expensive in Bundesliga history. Such decisions could significantly determine the success or failure against the superior power from Munich.
This season, Harry Kane has once again drawn attention to himself. After scoring 36 goals last season, he became top scorer in the 2024/2025 season with 26 goals. Despite these impressive numbers, he was unable to win a title with Bayern Munich last year.
The rivalry and the perspectives
Bayern Munich has regained the championship title for the 2024/2025 season and placed clearly ahead of last year's winner Bayer Leverkusen. In 2023/2024, the team from Leverkusen played a remarkable undefeated season with 90 points under coach Xabi Alonso and secured the first championship title in the club's history. The Bundesliga, which has existed since the 1963/1964 season and currently consists of 18 teams, continues to be characterized by exciting rivalries.
In the current season, Union Berlin is about to prove its own strength and counter Bayern. While Munich dominates the league, Union is hungry for success and could live up to its own expectations with a win. The coming games will show whether the invincible Bayern are actually beatable and which tactics will prove successful in the Bundesliga.
