Bayern Munich aim to reach the top of the table
FC Bayern Munich return to the Allianz Arena this Friday looking to move provisionally to the top of the Bundesliga before the international break. Standing in their way is a Union Berlin side in need of points and still looking for answers at the start of the season.
While Vincent Kompany's side remain unbeaten and have started to find consistency in front of goal, Mauro Lustrinelli's project is still searching for an identity capable of translating into results.
The Bavarian side want to close out this first part of the schedule with a victory that would allow them to enter the break with confidence. There is also another interesting factor raising expectations: Harry Kane is just one goal away from reaching 100 in the Bundesliga.
Harry Kane and a Bayern side that commands respect at home
Bayern have not had a perfect start, but they have shown they are capable of finding ways to win difficult matches. After the goalless draw against Schalke 04, the Munich side defeated Elversberg 2-1, with Harry Kane once again playing a starring role by scoring the decisive goal.
The English striker currently has 99 goals in 97 Bundesliga appearances, meaning another goal could see him reach a historic milestone. If he finds the back of the net against Union Berlin, Kane would become the player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals in the fewest matches.
Union Berlin arrive under pressure with major defensive concerns
The situation for Union Berlin is completely different. The Köpenick side have collected just one point from their first three matches and sit in the relegation playoff position in the standings.
Union Berlin have conceded 10 goals in their first three matches, including defeats by 4-0 against Bayer Leverkusen and 3-1 against Schalke 04. The latest result was particularly painful because the team were playing in front of their home supporters and once again showed difficulties managing decisive moments.
The challenge will be maintaining their focus for the full 90 minutes against a team featuring players such as Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane.
A battle of styles with first place on the line
The visitors will also have to find a way to contain a Bayern side that have scored 12 goals in their last five head-to-head meetings against Union Berlin. The most recent encounter ended in a 4-0 Bayern victory on March 21, 2026, at the Allianz Arena.
For Bayern, the equation is simpler, although that does not mean the match is decided before kickoff. Three points could temporarily move the Bavarians to the top of the table, keep their unbeaten run intact and allow them to head into the international break with even more confidence.
And for Harry Kane, the mission is even more significant, as just one goal separates the English striker from a historic milestone.
