Victory over the club from Brussels would take Bayern to a milestone figure of 250 wins in the European Cup/Champions League, including qualifiers. Again, the only team with more in Europe’s top club competition is Real Madrid (306 prior to Matchday 7).
Proud record at home against Belgians
Bayern have won eight out of nine continental fixtures at home to Belgian opposition, including this season’s 4-0 victory over Club Brugge. The exception was a 2-1 loss to Anderlecht in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup round of 16, which was a mere footnote after the Bavarians had won the first leg 5-0.
Union SG may be newcomers on the Champions League stage, but they are yet to lose a UEFA competition match in Germany (W2, D2). Their most recent such game was a 2-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2023/24 Conference League. The champions of Belgium have also got both their wins in the Champions League away from home, at PSV Eindhoven (3-1) and at Galatasaray (1-0).
Incredible home run continues
