by Sridhar Bhamidi in DFB Pokal Predictions
Bayern Munich will hope to go deep in their quest for a record-extending 21st DFB Pokal title when they travel to Union Berlin in a last-16 tie of the 2025-26 edition. This match on Wednesday at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei between the ‘Iron Ones’ and ‘The Bavarians’ comes with our prediction of Union Berlin +2 European Handicap.
Union are looking for their third quarter-finals appearance in the past five years, while serial winners Bayern have crossed the round of 16 only once in the last five seasons.
A 2-1 defeat to Heidenheim at the weekend last weekend in the Bundesliga. That result ended a four-game unbeaten run that included two wins and two draws.
Union’s last three defeats came over their last ten matches in all competitions, and two of those have been by a one-goal margin. At this venue, Union avoided defeat in five of their last six competitive games, and even their only loss came by a one-goal margin.
Munich won 3-1 at home against St Pauli last weekend, with two goals coming beyond regular time. It was their second game over the last four competitive matches that Bayern failed to win.
Interestingly, both those matches have come on the road as Bayern come here looking to end a two-game wait for a victory (D1, L1).

Our Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Bayern have been in great form this season, although the last four matches have shown their vulnerabilities. They could win only two of those four games with the latest requiring late goals, while the sequence also included a 2-2 draw at this venue in the Bundesliga. They are likely to remain motivated to go deep in a tournament they haven’t won for five seasons. Union have shown the appetite to take the matches deep and keep them tight.
This match could be closer too, and our Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich prediction is Union Berlin +2 European Handicap.
