FC Bayern München to win

Bayern's stronger opening return and Union's seven goals conceded across two league games support the home win.
FC Bayern München are overwhelming favourites for Friday's Bundesliga meeting with FC Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena, and my prediction is a Bayern win with goals at both ends. Bayern's opening two-match return is stronger at both ends of the pitch, while Union have already conceded seven times. The 1X2 price is severe, so the supporting goal angles deserve just as much attention below.
The straight Bayern price is extremely short, so I would separate likelihood from value. Bayern have opened the Bundesliga with four points from two matches, scoring five and conceding one. Their latest result was a goalless draw at Schalke 04, but the preceding home league game ended 5-1 against Stuttgart. Union have one point after two, with three scored and seven conceded; their latest outing was a 4-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen after a 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
That is why I still lean to a Bayern win rather than trying to manufacture an outsider case from the draw at Schalke. Bayern's recent five include 5-1 wins over Stuttgart and Köln, while Union's recent five have contained goals at both ends, including 3-3, 4-0, 3-1 and 2-2 results. A 3-1 home win is the plausible score it respects Bayern's current defensive record while allowing for Union's ability to score in several recent games. The main caveat is price. At 1.15, the home result needs to be treated as a high-likelihood outcome, not automatically a strong standalone bet. BTTS Yes and Over 2.5 fit the projected score pattern, though the short goals price limits the room for error.
FC Bayern München to win, with a 3-1 scoreline offering the most plausible shape.

👉
Bayern's 1.15 maximum price equates to an implied probability of roughly 87% before margin, marking them as emphatic favourites.
👉
The draw at 10.75 and Union win at 19.25 leave little room in the 1X2 market for a non-Bayern outcome.
👉
Over 2.5 Goals at 1.20 is strongly favoured over Under 2.5 at 4.40, while BTTS Yes at 1.73 is priced ahead of No at 2.05.
