Comments on the match Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich, 2:45 a.m. December 4: The "giant" returns, the home team has no chance to cause a shock?

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich form

A month ago, An der Alten Forsterei stadium witnessed an extraordinary achievement of the home team. Having to welcome the defending champion Bayern Munich like a "tsunami" (winning all 16 matches since the beginning of the season), 99% of the predictions leaned towards the scenario that Union Berlin would become the next victim.

But instead of going out on the pitch with a fearful attitude, coach Steffen Baumgart and his team played a match of their lives. Even if Harry Kane had not scored in the third minute of injury time, Union Berlin, not Arsenal, would have become the first club this season to defeat the Bavarian giants.

But to repeat that feat in the 1/8 round of the German Cup is certainly not an easy task. Even Khedira himself and his teammates are not sure to be able to reproduce the form of that day.

Last weekend in the 12th round of Bundesliga, Union Berlin also played at home but surprisingly lost 1-2 to bottom-ranked Heidenheim. That defeat pushed the Berlin team down to 11th place, only 7 points above the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich probably only considered the stumble at An der Alten Forsterei as a small accident. Because in both of their subsequent appearances at the domestic arena, the powerful army under coach Vincent Kompany won all of them, scoring 9 goals and conceding only 3.

Currently, Bayern is firmly in the lead, creating a gap of up to 8 points compared to the lower ranked opponent RB Leipzig. Obviously in the domestic arena at this time, FC Hollywood will find it difficult to find a worthy opponent to be able to prevent them from advancing to the double title.

But that does not mean Joshua Kimmich and his teammates can be complacent. Remember, in the National Cup last season, Bayern Munich also had to stop at the round of 16 due to a 0-1 defeat at BayArena against Bayer Leverkusen.

In addition, in both encounters with Union Berlin this year (both at An der Alten Forsterei), the away team did not win, only drawing 1-1 and 2-2. These statistics probably force coach Kompany and his team to show more respect and prepare more carefully for the upcoming visit.

In the past, Union Berlin has never won the German Cup. The Iron Warriors' best achievement was reaching the final in the 2000/01 season but lost 0-2 to Schalke. In the context of having to face the giants of Munich early, the opportunity to create a historic milestone for Baumgart and his team is even more difficult to happen.
