Union Berlin has one of the worst home records in the Bundesliga this season, having picked up just six points since the last international break. The Kopenick side has won just one of their last nine home league games (1W, 3D, 5L) and has only managed 15 points from 12 home matches. A major issue remains their lack of attacking threat. Union has scored just 22 goals all season—only St. Pauli has fewer. Their open-play struggles are particularly evident, with just 12 goals from open play, the worst in the league.Bayern Munich suffered only their second Bundesliga defeat of the season in a 2-3 loss against Bochum, despite leading 2-0. The Bavarians had been unbeaten in 15 matches before that (14W, 1D) but have now dropped points in two of their last four league games. Despite the setback, Bayern still boasts the best attack in the Bundesliga (74 goals), more than three times Union's total (22 goals). Their passing accuracy (90%) and ball possession (69.3%) lead the league, while Union ranks among the worst in both categories (42.4% possession, 76% passing accuracy).Bayern has never lost to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, making them Union’s ultimate "bogey team." No other Bundesliga club has faced a single opponent so often without a win.

柏林联盟是本赛季德甲主场战绩最差的球队之一，自上次国际比赛日以来只拿到了6分。科佩尼克的球队在最近的9场主场联赛（1胜1负、3胜1负、5胜1负）中只赢了1场，在12场主场比赛中只拿到了15分。一个主要问题是他们缺乏进攻威胁。联盟整个赛季只进了22个球，只有圣保利更少。他们在公开比赛中的挣扎尤其明显，只有12个公开比赛进球，是联盟中最差的。拜仁慕尼黑在2-0领先的情况下，以2-3输给波鸿，这是他们本赛季在德甲联赛中的第二场失利。在此之前，巴伐利亚人在15场比赛中保持不败（14场比赛，1场比赛），但最近4场联赛中有2场丢分。尽管遭遇挫折，拜仁仍然拥有德甲最好的进攻（74球），是联盟总进球数（22球）的三倍多。他们的传球准确率（90%）和控球率（69.3%）领先联盟，而联盟在这两个指标上都是最差的（控球率42.4%，传球准确率76%）。拜仁在德甲联赛中从未输给过柏林联盟，这使他们成为了德国联盟的终极“忌忌球队”。没有任何一家德甲俱乐部能如此频繁地面对一个对手而不获胜。
