Bayern Faces Cup Scare vs. Union Berlin
3 Dec
Summary
- Union Berlin hosts Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal round of 16.
- Both teams were eliminated in the round of 16 last season.
- Bayern Munich has a strong away record in the DFB Cup.

Union Berlin faces a challenging DFB-Pokal round of 16 tie against record champions Bayern Munich at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Last season saw both clubs falter in this very round, adding an element of pressure to Wednesday's encounter.
Union Berlin's recent four-game unbeaten run was broken by a late 2-1 defeat to Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. They will look to shore up their defense, having conceded two goals in their last two home matches, as they prepare to face a formidable Bayern side.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, are looking to rebound after a Champions League loss, having secured a league win over FC St. Pauli. Despite injuries and the need for squad rotation due to a busy schedule, Bayern's historical dominance in the DFB Cup, particularly away from home, makes them strong favorites.
