Table-topping Bayern face Union in weekend clash.
Bayern Munich, boasting a potent attack and buoyed by recent victories, welcome Union Berlin to the Allianz Arena on Saturday, as the visitors aim to extend their unbeaten run against the formidable Bundesliga leaders.
FC Bayern München
Bayern Munich picked up a comfortable 4-0 victory over Mainz on Wednesday night in the DFB-Pokal second round, with Jamal Musiala netting his first hat-trick of his senior career. “The team is hungry; we are excited for every game,” manager Vincent Kompany said after the game.
The Bavarians have now scored nine goals in their last two matches across all competitions, having picked up a 5-0 win against Bochum in the Bundesliga last Sunday. Last Sunday's win ensured that Kompany's side remained top of the Bundesliga with 20 points (6W, 2D, 0L), leaving them tied with second-placed Leipzig and only ahead due to their superior goal difference.
Bayern have scored 29 goals in their opening eight league games; no coach in top-flight history has seen his side score as many goals in their first eight games in charge. Kompany will hope his team maintains their attacking form when they host Union on Saturday, while also extending their winning run (WDDWW).
The Bavarians have a fine record against the visitors, having never lost to Union after 10 Bundesliga meetings (7W, 3D, 0L). Harry Kane, who is the current joint-top scorer in the Bundesliga with nine goals, is expected to lead the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation on Saturday.
The English striker won the Gerd Müller trophy, an award for the highest-scoring footballer in the previous season, where he scored 52 goals across all competitions. Meanwhile, Kompany will be missing several key players due to injury, including Eric Dier, who was forced off in the second half of their win over Mainz.
FC Union Berlin
Union Berlin crashed out of the DFB Pokal in the second round after a 2-0 defeat to third-division side Arminia Bielefeld on Wednesday. “We want to and will analyze our mistakes in order to then rectify them. Today, however, we have to admit defeat on the day,” Union's manager Bo Svensson remarked following the loss.
The Iron Ones now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they recently salvaged a 1-1 draw against a ten-man Eintracht Frankfurt team last Sunday. This result was enough to propel Union into the top four, as they currently hold fourth place with 15 points from four wins, three draws, and one loss.
Unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga matches, with a record of two wins, one draw, and one win, Die Eisernen face a tough challenge in extending their undefeated streak as they take on the league leaders this weekend. They will rely on their strong defensive record, having conceded just five goals, second only to Leipzig's three in the league.
A 3-4-3 formation is expected for Saturday's clash, featuring Jeong Woo-yeong, Benedict Hollerbach, and Yorbe Vertessen leading the attack. As they prepare for this key fixture, Union aims to build on their solid performance and continue their ascent in the league standings.
