Union Berlin against Bayern: Can the home strength break the series?

Union Berlin against Bayern: Can the home strength break the series?

The football world is looking forward to the duel between Union Berlin and Bayern Munich, which is scheduled for November 7th, 2025. In a recent report from Union Berlin Munich's impressive series is honored. Bayern have recently achieved eleven Bundesliga wins in a row, a feat only achieved by Bayern itself (seven times, most recently in 2020) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (1987) in the history of German football. These impressive statistics make Bayern a serious opponent, their last defeat being against Bochum in March 2023.

FC Bayern's dominance is also evident in other areas. They are currently unbeaten in the Bundesliga and have won all competitive games this season, including the matches in the DFB Cup and the Champions League. Statistically speaking, Bayern surpass the entire league in the categories of most goals, best pass rate and most ball possession. However, there are also weaknesses: in the categories “duels won” and “fouls on the opponent” they are in the bottom third, while Union Berlin ranks at the top of these statistics with 135 fouls on the opponent.

A top-class trainer

Union Berlin coach Vincent Kompany has often caused a stir. Last week, in the 3-0 win against Leverkusen, he substituted three of his star players—Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise—on at the same time. These tactical maneuvers not only bring a breath of fresh air into the team, but also show Kompany's eye for the big picture. The substitution of these three players, who together have a market value of around 275 million euros, also set a record for the most expensive substitution in Bundesliga history.

For Bayern, this exchange of blows will not only be a challenge, but also an opportunity to further extend their impressive series and consolidate their lead at the top of the table. They are currently in first place in the all-time Bundesliga table and have set numerous records. This includes the most points in history, the most championships and also the most goals – a total of 6,880 in 2,052 games up to matchday 9 of the 2025/26 season. Truly, FC Bayern is a power in German football.
