Bayern suffered its second loss of the season over the weekend and failed to score in a league outing for the first time since September 2022. With Leverkusen picking up another win on Saturday versus Leipzig, there are now seven points separating the two title challengers, and Wednesday’s match will be a must-win game for Tuchel’s men.
Union travels to Munich following a 0-0 draw at Freiburg. After going through a very disappointing spell during the first half of the season, the Iron Ones have finally started to show some consistency, losing only one of their last five league outings. However, there’s still huge room for improvement away from home.
The side from the capital hasn’t scored in four consecutive road games and in five of the last six. Across the entire campaign, Union has picked up only four points on its travels, and the team has never beaten Bayern away from home in the Bundesliga.
It’s not been a great season defensively either for Union, which has conceded 31 times already after allowing only 38 goals across the entire 2022-23 campaign. Now, Nenad Bjelica must find a way to stop the league’s top scorer. Harry Kane has dominated the competition with 22 goals and five assists in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season.
On Sunday, Kane finished without a goal involvement for only the second time in the German top flight, and he will hope to avoid going without scoring a goal in back-to-back Bundesliga games for the first time Wednesday night.
Bayern struggled in Berlin last season and had to settle for a 1-1 draw, but the 33-time German champion has beaten Union in the past two home games with a combined score of 7-0. Six of the goals have come in the first half, which could make Union very careful in the opening 45 minutes on Wednesday.
