Can Bayern extend record run against Union? Fixtures between Bayern and Union Berlin have produced drama, tough battles and some great goals, like Luis Díaz ’s finish in the season’s first meeting to win the 2025 Goal of the Year . But one thing not yet seen is a Bayern defeat.
The Bavarians are unbeaten in their 13 Bundesliga meetings with the Köpenick club (W8, D5), which is a record. No other team has faced a particular opponent so often in Germany’s top flight without suffering at least one defeat. Here’s all the key stats and figures ahead of Saturday’s game at the Allianz Arena.
That run was very much at risk of ending in the season’s first meeting at the Alte Försterei, needing a Harry Kane goal in added time to salvage a 2-2 draw . It was one of many examples of morale that Vincent Kompany ’s team have showed this season, earning a division-high 19 points from losing positions. In the era of three points for a win, FCB have only three times before claimed more points when trailing across an entire season, most recently picking up 22 in 2020/21.
No, you have the ball Bayern come into Matchday 27 as the team with the highest average possession in the Bundesliga (66. 5%), while Union are the antithesis with just 37. 7%.
