Ahead of Bayern's clash with Union in the Bundesliga, Vincent Campany said his team is ready for any changes their opponents may make. The match will take place on Friday and will be the last for both teams before the international break. Bayern are hoping to improve their performance after beating Elversberg 2-1 in their last league match. It was not an easy match, with Harry Kane scoring the winning goal in the 72nd minute after Elversberg had equalized through Maurice Krattenmacher.

Bayern currently sit third in the Bundesliga with seven points, behind Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund, who have won all three of their opening matches. Union, on the other hand, are having a terrible start to the season, picking up just one point from their first three matches - a draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Campany admits Union are in a period of transition, which could make them dangerous opponents. He noted: "We always discuss the opponent's approach. Of course, teams like Schalke and Bodo/Glimt used completely different tactics against us. We are used to teams having a game plan against Bayern. As a coach, you always have to be on your guard. Union are going through a big transition. They have brought in a successful coach [Mauro Lustrinielli] and his confidence will influence the decisions made. We are ready for any changes that the opponent may make."

Before the match, Jurgen Klopp announced his first Germany squad for the upcoming international break, which included several Bayern players. Germany will face the Netherlands, Serbia and Greece in the Nations League and Klopp has selected two different teams to play in these matches. Nathaniel Brown, Jonas Urbig, Tom Bischoff and Aleksandar Pavlovich were selected for the second squad, while the first included Serge Gnabry, Lennart Karl, Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musila. Following Klopp's appointment as the new national team coach, he visited Campany at Bayern's training ground, where they discussed how their partnership would be structured during this period. Campany expresses his joy that many of his players have been included in the national team. He noted: “We have all already been told about the plans, and this is now being actively discussed. I'm glad that many of our guys are on the national team. Some of them may have something to prove [after the World Cup]. I see that our guys are very motivated. A new chapter begins with Jurgen Klopp - our players are definitely looking forward to it."

Bayern - Harry Kane
Kane scored 99 goals in 97 Bundesliga matches - the record for the most matches needed to reach 100 goals is held by Dieter Müller (129).The fifth goal against Elversberg was his 150th for Bayern in all competitions, coming in his 153rd appearance.

MATCH PREDICTION: BAYARIAN VICTORY
Bayern have not lost any of their 14 Bundesliga matches against Union (9 wins and 5 draws) - no other team in the history of the German Bundesliga has faced an opponent so often without suffering a single setback. Campany's team also defeated Union in the round of 16 of the German Cup last season (3:2). The Bundesliga champions have won all of their last nine matches on a Friday since a 2-2 draw in Freiburg in March 2024 - ten consecutive wins on a Friday equals a Bundesliga record for a club previously only achieved by Borussia Dortmund from 2012 to 2015. Bayern remained unbeaten in their first three Bundesliga matches for the sixth consecutive season (2 wins and 1 draw). They even won their first nine league games last season before Union became the first team to deny them points in a 2-2 draw. While Union started the season with the worst result, gaining only one point from three matches, without winning even once in the opening league matches for the first time (1 draw and 2 defeats).Lustrinielli could become the first Union manager to go winless in his first four Bundesliga games. They have also conceded at least three goals in three consecutive Bundesliga matches for the second time in history (the first time was between August and September 2025) - they could do so in a fourth match in a row for the first time. Lustrinielli's side conceded 10 goals in their first three league matches, and only Holstein Kiel's Marcel Rapp (11) in 2024 has conceded more goals in the competition since the 1990s.
