In the 27th round of Germany’s Bundesliga 1 on March 21, 2026, Bayern will face Union. The visitors can only hope that the favorite is distracted by other tournaments.
The Munich champion reclaimed the “silver salad bowl” last season. Now, they are clearly aiming to win everything. Having started the football year with the German Super Cup, they began the Champions League playoffs in March. Against Atalanta, they achieved two emphatic victories, both away and at home. Domestically, only the cup remains, with a semifinal against Bayer scheduled for later. In the Bundesliga, all questions were settled by spring. That might explain the draw with Bayer.
The Berlin side, who nearly got relegated in 2024 after playing in the playoff, managed to improve and collected exactly 40 points, finishing thirteenth. This season, they are also managing to stay mid-table. After a heavy defeat to Werder, they beat Freiburg in the last round.
The undisputed leader has an average of 3.58 goals scored per game and only 0.96 conceded. The capital’s footballers score an average of 1.19 goals but concede more—1.62.
Previous Matches: Bayern – Union
In 2025, the current visitors managed two draws in a row. But in December, they lost 2-3 at home in the cup.
It’s hard to believe the champion will suffer two setbacks in a row. They are likely to win at home with a “-1.5 goals” handicap (odds – 1.60).
