Union Berlin
Match Time & Date:
20 April 2024
17:30
Prediction: 1-2
Bayern Munich
Stadion An der Alten Forsterei will be the centre of attention when Union Berlin and Bayern Munich square off against each other in the Bundesliga round 30. The capital club aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg, but they will have a big fish to fry against the wounded Bavarian lion. Both Robin Gosens and Lucas Tousart are back from suspension, while the likes of Rani Khedira, Josip Juranovic, Yorbe Vertessen, Jerome Roussillon, and Jakob Busk remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 2-0 win over Koln. Bayern Munich failed to defend their Bundesliga title, but they are now on a quest to secure a top-two finish. As Thomas Tuchel’s men have been showing signs of improvement of late, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. Bear in mind that both wingers Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Leroy Sane):
Leroy Sane began his senior career at Schalke 04. The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as attacking midfielder as well, made his debut for die Knappen on 20 April, 2014 against Stuttgart. Sane came as a substitute in the second half of the match, replacing Max Mayer 13 minutes before the final whistle.
He scored 11 goals in 47 league appearances for Schalke and on 2 August, 2016 he signed a deal with big-spending Premier League side Manchester City. The former Schalke footballer joined the Citizens on a five-year deal for a fee of £37 million. Sane was born in Essen on 11 January, 1996, but his father is Senegalese.
Souleymane Sane used to play for the Senegalese national football team in the past, while his mother Regina Weber was a rhythmic gymnast. Speaking of his international career, Leroy Sane has 6 caps for Germany U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 13 November, 2015 in a 2-0 loss to France.
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
