Bayern Munich to host Union Berlin

Bayern Munich, the defending champions, will host Union Berlin on Friday to open the fourth round of the German Bundesliga.

The Bavarian side aims to continue its positive results and strengthen its position in the standings, while Union Berlin hopes to secure its first win of the season against the champions.

Bayern Munich enters the match in good spirits after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over host Elversberg in the previous round. English star Harry Kane sealed the win with a goal in the 72nd minute, opening his scoring account for the season in the league and lifting his team to seven points in fourth place.

In contrast, Union Berlin is struggling with a difficult start to the season. It suffered a 1-3 defeat to Schalke in the previous round and had earlier lost 0-4 to Bayer Leverkusen, leaving it with just one point in 16th place.

The round will continue on Saturday with Borussia Mönchengladbach facing Mainz, Eintracht Frankfurt against Freiburg, the league leaders on nine points, Hamburg versus Cologne, Werder Bremen against Augsburg, third on seven points, and Stuttgart hosting Borussia Dortmund, the runners-up on nine points.
