Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Predicted Line-ups: Visitors Set for Attacking Overhaul
Bayern Munich aims to continue their perfect start to the 2025/26 Bundesliga season as they face Union Berlin this Saturday at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
Match Preview: Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich
Head coach Vincent Kompany is expected to implement strategic changes following a 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the midweek Champions League clash.
Expected Line-ups
Key changes are anticipated for Bayern Munich, with two attacking players, Nicolas Jackson and Lennart Karl, replacing Harry Kane and Michael Olise. Karl has demonstrated exceptional form this season, moving directly from the U17 to U21 German national teams.
Defensive adjustments will include Min-jae Kim and Tom Bischof stepping in for Josip Stanišić and Jonathan Tah.
Union Berlin’s lineup is uncertain due to injury concerns regarding Ilyas Ansah. The young striker, with four goals in nine league appearances this season, suffered an ankle injury during training. His availability could significantly impact the game, as he remains a pivotal player for the team.
