Bayern München can reach 10 points and pass Freiburg today

Bayern München can reach 10 points and move above league-leading SC Freiburg’s current total of 9 with a win today. Union Berlin arrive at the Allianz Arena with 1 point from three games, while kickoff is set for 18:30 UTC in Munich.

What's at stake

Bayern München sit fourth on 7 points, six clear of Union Berlin, and a victory would take them to 10 points. That would put them one point above Freiburg’s present tally, while a Union Berlin win would lift them to 4 points and cut the gap to Bayern to three; a draw would leave the current six-point difference intact.

The numbers

Bayern München’s unbeaten record stands at 2 wins and 1 draw, with 7 goals scored and 2 conceded. Their recent sequence is win, draw, win, and their home record is 1 win from 1 game, with 5 goals scored and 1 conceded.

Union Berlin have scored 4 and conceded 10 across three matches, giving them a goal difference of -6. Their recent form reads draw, loss, loss, while their only away fixture ended in a 4-0 defeat, leaving them with 0 away goals and 0 clean sheets.

One to watch

T. Skarke is the clearest attacking reference in the data, with 2 goals in 3 appearances for Union Berlin. His output accounts for half of Union’s 4 league goals, a notable figure against a Bayern München defence that has conceded 2 overall.

Why it matters

Bayern München have a direct route to 10 points and the top of the current points count, while Union Berlin need a result to avoid remaining on 1 point after four rounds. The team news also leaves K. Imeri questionable for Union Berlin with a thigh injury, alongside several listed absences, adding another selection issue for a side already carrying a -6 goal difference.
