Union Berlin's 7-0 defeat at Bayern Munich last Friday is the dominant topic surrounding the club. On the 'Stammplatz' podcast, hosts Noah Friedmann and Florian Witte dissect the heavy loss from the fourth matchday. Nenad Bjelica's team now sits 16th in the Bundesliga table with just one point from four games.

Friedmann raised the question of whether Bjelica, often called 'Eta' by fans, must now save the team again. The podcasters' analysis focused on the defensive issues that led to the seven goals conceded. Union has already let in 17 goals this season while scoring only four themselves.

The next chance for a response comes with the home match against SV Elversberg on October 10th. The current form of three consecutive defeats makes this fixture a significant challenge. The team's full schedule can be checked on our fixtures page, while the current standings illustrate the precarious situation.

Bjelica and his squad now have time to address the shortcomings before the league resumes after the international break. The match against Elversberg at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei kicks off at 3:30 PM.

Manager Horst Heldt is under pressure to reinforce the deficient defense. Heldt could reportedly turn to experienced center-backs like David Alaba or Jannik Vestergaard. Captain Christopher Trimmel identified the main issue. "We allow too many one-on-one situations," said Trimmel. The team continues to struggle with the switch to a back four under coach Mauro Lustrinelli. Union Berlin finished the previous season in 11th place.

Union Berlin finished the previous season in 11th place in the Bundesliga with 32 points from 29 games. The team of Nenad Bjelica has already conceded 50 goals this season. Six players are currently sidelined, including Robert Skov and Lucas Tousart.

Harry Kane scored twice in Bayern's 7-0 victory on Friday and set a Bundesliga record. Kane reached his 100th Bundesliga goal in just 98 games, as FC Bayern München confirmed. The previous record holder Dieter Müller needed 129 games for the milestone. Kane scored from the penalty spot in the 39th minute and with a header in the 54th minute. Union Berlin finished the previous season in 11th place in the Bundesliga with 32 points.
