Stadium: Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin)
15.03.2025 17:30
The Bundesliga clash on March 15, 2025, sees Union Berlin hosting reigning champions Bayern Munich in a contest where history, form, and statistical data point to a clear imbalance. The capital club has struggled against Bayern in their last six head-to-head encounters, losing five and managing a single draw. Notably, they’ve failed to score in four of those games while conceding an average of 2.8 goals per match, a trend that underscores Bayern’s dominance in this fixture.
Union Berlin’s recent league form paints a picture of inconsistency, with just one win in their last five Bundesliga outings. Their scoring woes are evident, netting only three goals across these matches while conceding 11. Their home form offers little reassurance, with just one win from their last four league matches at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Defensively, Union has been vulnerable, and their struggles in front of goal are exacerbated by the absence of key players such as Kevin Vogt and Robert Skov.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich remains a formidable force despite an unexpected slip-up against Bochum in early March. The Bavarians have won three of their last four league games and are spearheaded by a clinical Harry Kane, who boasts 21 goals in 23 appearances this season. Their offensive firepower is further supported by Jamal Musiala (11 goals) and Michael Olise (8 goals), ensuring a relentless attacking presence. Bayern’s away form has been strong, averaging 2.5 goals per game while conceding just 1.0 per match.

Union Berlin’s season has been a rollercoaster, with glimpses of resilience overshadowed by glaring deficiencies. Their 43.3% average possession rate in the Bundesliga suggests they often cede control, relying on counter-attacks rather than sustained offensive pressure. With just 22 league goals in 25 games, their attack ranks among the weakest in the division. Benedict Hollerbach leads their scoring charts with a modest six-goal tally, highlighting the lack of a prolific goal scorer in their ranks.
Set-piece situations and defensive solidity are typically Union’s strengths, but their recent home defeats against Holstein Kiel and Borussia Mönchengladbach expose frailties that Bayern will look to exploit. Missing key defensive personnel, Union’s backline will be under immense pressure to contain Bayern’s high-octane attack. A compact defensive setup is expected, but whether they can withstand Bayern’s relentless waves of attack remains a major concern.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich’s title defence is fueled by their relentless attacking approach and squad depth. They boast the best offence in the Bundesliga, with 74 goals in 25 matches, averaging 2.96 per game. Their precision passing (69.1% possession average) and clinical finishing make them a nightmare for any opposition. Harry Kane’s presence in the box, complemented by Musiala and Olise’s creativity, ensures a multi-dimensional attack.
One concern for Bayern is their defence, which has shown occasional lapses. The absence of key players such as Manuel Neuer and Min-Jae Kim could expose vulnerabilities, particularly in transitions. However, their pressing game and high defensive line often compensate for any structural weaknesses. With a commanding midfield presence led by Joshua Kimmich, Bayern is expected to dictate the tempo and control proceedings from start to finish.
