Just a few days after the embarrassing cup defeat in Bielefeld, Union Berlin has to play away at Bayern Munich on Saturday afternoon (November 2nd, from 3:30 p.m.).
Even though the Köpenickers have never been able to beat the German record champions in the Bundesliga in Munich, 5,259 Berlin fans are hoping for the sensation. This statistic should give them hope.
These coaching statistics should give Union Berlin hope in Munich
In the league, Union Berlin is in a sensational fourth place after eight games. Very few experts probably expected this before the season. Even if the away game in Munich will be an incredibly difficult task – with coach Bo Svensson, the Iron Men have a good chance!

The 45-year-old Dane has already won three times here. And after the disappointing cup exit at third division team Bielefeld, he obviously has no desire to leave the pitch as a loser again.
“It was a bitter evening for us on Wednesday. Before that we had a lot of nice games. “I don’t think it’s all gone because of one game,” said Svensson before the game against Bayern Munich.
“I don’t know how much market value they bring with them – brutal individual quality”
Nevertheless, he has a lot of respect for the difficult task in Munich. “I don’t know how much market value they bring – (they have) brutal individual quality,” said Union coach Svensson. There is a development in her game. Something has changed compared to last year.”
Svensson is obviously very impressed by Vincent Kompany's work: “You play very intensely. Try to be dominant in all phases of the game. It's a mixture of many things. We’re trying to prepare for it as best we can.”

Of course, none of this matters much to the fans who traveled with us. For them, as always, it should only be about a win. And since coach Bo Svensson has already won here in the past, that should be possible again now. The game between Bayern and Union starts at 3:30 p.m. (with dpa)
