The upcoming fixtures in German football have been set, with the latest schedule updates released for both Union Berlin and Hertha BSC. These announcements provide clarity for fans as both Berlin clubs prepare for crucial matches in their respective leagues.
Union Berlin Faces Bayern Munich Challenge
Union Berlin, currently competing in the Bundesliga, is slated to play against defending champions Bayern Munich. This highly anticipated match will take place on a Saturday afternoon, scheduled for March 21 at 15:30 CET. The encounter will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Despite previous encounters, Union has yet to secure a victory against Bayern in their 13 meetings. However, the Berlin side demonstrated competitive performances earlier in the season, both in the league and during the cup round of 16. To date, Union has only managed to claim a single point from six away games in Munich.
Before this fixture, Union Berlin will play two consecutive Sunday matches at 17:30 CET. First, they will host Werder Bremen on March 8 at their home ground, Stadion An der Alten Försterei. This will be followed by an away match against SC Freiburg a week later. These games are seen as important opportunities for Union to secure valuable points as the season progresses.
Hertha BSC Targets Promotion Push in 2. Bundesliga
Meanwhile, Hertha BSC is preparing for a series of important matches in the 2. Bundesliga. The team is set to host VfL Bochum, who were relegated from the Bundesliga last season, in a prime-time fixture. This match will take place on Saturday, March 14, at 20:30 CET, and will be broadcast on both RTL and Sky. The matchup is being highlighted as a key contest in the league, with both teams eager to improve their standings.
Hertha's schedule also includes an away trip to Preußen Münster on March 8 for a 13:30 CET kickoff, followed by another away game at Fortuna Düsseldorf two weeks later, also beginning at 13:30 CET. These fixtures represent significant opportunities for Hertha to gain momentum in their pursuit of promotion back to the Bundesliga.
