Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Prediction 08.11.2025 | Bundesliga

Union Berlin have made a respectable start to their seventh consecutive campaign in the German top flight, but they cannot afford to take their foot off the gas if they want to avoid a repeat of the last two seasons, where survival battles defined their journey.

Heading into a matchday 10 fixture that already feels like a near-impossible task for points, the capital club sit 10th in the Bundesliga table, holding a five-point cushion above the relegation playoff spot currently occupied by Borussia Mönchengladbach.

While neutralizing the Bayern juggernaut may seem like mission improbable, the Iron Ones will refuse to wave the white flag before the first whistle, drawing belief from their impressive home fortress — a staggering 72% of their points this season have been secured at the iconic Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

Union Berlin will be without 38-year-old midfielder Christopher Trimmel, who serves a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation, but they could be boosted by the timely return of defensive cornerstone Josip Juranovic, who has finally shaken off the injury that sidelined him since the season opener.

Although a handful of fixtures still remain before the midpoint of the campaign, it already feels inevitable that Bayern Munich are storming toward yet another Bundesliga crown. Their dominance has been nothing short of ruthless, sweeping aside all nine domestic challenges with a staggering combined score of 33–4.

Even more impressively, the Bavarians have achieved what no other club across Europe’s top five leagues has managed this season — a flawless 16 victories from 16 matches in all competitions. The jewel in their perfect streak arrived midweek, when they toppled reigning Champions League holders PSG 2–1 in the heart of Paris, doing so despite playing the entire second half a man down following Luis Díaz’s dismissal just before the break.

Mastermind Vincent Kompany is quickly writing his name into club history, now just two wins away from matching Pep Guardiola’s iconic 10-from-10 start in the 2015–16 season. Should he steer Bayern to victory in their next two league outings, he will stand alone as the first manager in the club’s history to open a Bundesliga campaign with 11 consecutive wins.

The injury list in Munich remains unchanged, with Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies, and Jamal Musiala still sidelined as they continue their recovery.
