The big game in the Bundesliga this weekend will see the two of the top three locks horns. Bayern Munich currently leads the way, but they are only ahead of both Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.
Bundesliga Preview
There is a growing sense that Bayern Munich aren’t going to have things their own way in the Bundesliga this term. The reigning champions remain top of the standings, but they are only ahead of Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund on goal difference. They have won just twice in their previous five league matches, and they come into this game against Union, having suffered defeat in their previous match.
Over their last six league matches, Bayern has picked up just nine points. That is a huge contrast from last season, as the German giants took maximum points from their first six games after the winter break. However, Bayern still boasts the best defensive record in the league this term, having allowed just 21. But, the absence of Robert Lewandowski has left a clear void in the forward areas.
Union Berlin will be delighted with their current position in the Bundesliga standings, as they find themselves level on points with the big two in Germany. Their recent form has been excellent, as they have picked up four wins and a draw from their last five matches. However, they were held to a goalless draw in their previous fixture against Schalke.
Union has allowed the second-least amount of goals in the Bundesliga this term, but that defensive record will be put to the test this weekend. But, Union will be extremely confident coming into this game on the road, as they have won each of their previous three away from home.
Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Head to Head
Bayern Munich boasts an unbeaten record against Union Berlin in Bundesliga fixtures. They have won four of the seven games that they have played, picking up just three draws over that period. Bayern has only played against two other opponents on more occasions and still boasts an unbeaten record.
Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Prediction
This will be a fascinating match at the Allianz Arena this weekend, as we will get to see just how serious of a title contender Union Berlin is. However, the fact that this game comes after their Europa League showdown is a concern, and we expect Bayern to win to nil.
