Kane Nears 100 Bundesliga Goals as Bayern Faces Struggling Union
17 Sep
Summary
- Harry Kane is poised to score his 100th Bundesliga goal in his 98th match.
- Serge Gnabry is set to return from a lengthy thigh injury layoff.
- Bayern Munich has a strong undefeated record against Union Berlin.
Harry Kane is nearing a significant milestone, potentially scoring his 100th Bundesliga goal in his 98th league match for Bayern Munich. This achievement would set a new record for the England captain. The team also prepares for the return of forward Serge Gnabry, who has been sidelined for months with a thigh injury.
Bayern Munich faces lowly Union Berlin, a team against whom they boast an undefeated record. Despite a slow start to the season and recent dropped points, Bayern will be eager to secure a win. Coach Vincent Kompany emphasized preparedness for any tactical changes from Union's new coach.
The match occurs before the international break and Munich's Oktoberfest, meaning Bayern won't have a home game during the festival. The team plans a traditional visit to the Oktoberfest on Sunday. Several Bayern players, including goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, are selected for the German national squad, with Kompany expressing confidence in Urbig's future as Germany's number one.
Bayern Munich, currently fourth in the league, aims to overcome their recent form slump against an Union Berlin side that has had a difficult start to their campaign. The club's CEO acknowledged the unique timing of the match relative to Oktoberfest but confirmed the team's traditional visit to the festival.
