Michael ScottWed, December 3, 2025 at 5:00 PM UTC·2 min readLast month, Union Berlin became the first team in Europe to take points from Bayern Munich this season. Stoppage time theatrics from Harry Kane produced a 2-2 draw to counter Danilho Doekhi’s brace. Union Berlin will get another crack at Bayern in this week’s Round of 16 DFB-Pokal match.
Historically, Union Berlin has never defeated Bayern in 13 Bundesliga matches. Bayern has not been eliminated in the Round of 16 since 2006 in a 4-2 upset at the hands of Alemannia Aachen.

Odds: Bayern (-345), Draw (+525), Union Berlin (+700)
Prediction: Bayern wins 2-1. Bayern’s sluggish starts will flash again as Union Berlin scores on a free kick in the 23rd minute, taking a lead into the halftime whistle. Harry Kane comes out of the locker room like a bat out of hell and scores two quick goals, both in the 67th minute, to silence the home crowd. Bayern hits the post a couple more times but dominates the rest of the way.
It’s Bayern time.
