"During the first match, Union Berlin came out flying and used an intense, aggressive style to stun the Bavarians. Eventually, Bayern Munich would find its sea legs and fight back to earn a 2-2 draw. Now, though, the stakes are higher as this matchup is an elimination game for the DFB-Pokal. Can Union Berlin channel the energy from its fans and turn it into success on the pitch once again? Or will Bayern Munich come out motivated with a point to prove."
"This author thinks Bayern Munich will seek to right the wrong from November and come out super-energetic and highly-aggressive. Look for Harry Kane and the Bayern Munich attack to keep the pressure on Union Berlin and eventually wear down the home side. Defensively, Bayern Munich is now fully aware of what the Iron Ones can do and will look to limit those quick counter-attacks and should be much more equipped to deal with Union Berlin's set-piece strength this time around."
Bayern Munich travels to Berlin to face Union Berlin for the second time in under a month, this time in a DFB-Pokal elimination match. In the prior meeting, Union Berlin started intensely and stunned Bayern before Bayern rallied to a 2-2 draw. The match carries higher stakes, and Bayern is expected to play with heightened energy and aggression. Harry Kane and the Bayern attack are predicted to apply constant pressure to wear down Union. Bayern’s defense will prioritize limiting quick counter-attacks and addressing Union’s set-piece strengths. Prediction: Union Berlin 0-3 Bayern Munich.
