Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Predictions

• Bayern Munich have led at half-time and full-time in five of their last seven home Bundesliga games.
• Union Berlin have conceded the opening goal in five of their last six away league games and trailed at HT in three.
• Union have not conceded more than one goal in their last nine competitive matches.

Bayern seeking Bundesliga title boost

Bayern Munich will bid to stay on top of their rivals and dent Union Berlin’s Bundesliga title hopes when they host Urs Fischer’s side at Allianz Arena on Sunday. The two teams, who are level on points alongside Borussia Dortmund, have been in consistent form of late and could be hard to separate.

The Bavarians will look to catch Union cold in the early stages and dictate the game from there – a tactic that has served Julian Nagelsmann’s side well at home this term. Bayern have led at half-time in six of their last seven Bundesliga games played in front of their own fans, going on to pick up all three points on five occasions.

Union could be a touch leg-weary after their 3-1 Europa League home win over Ajax on Thursday, although they should have no problem with motivation for this crunch clash.  They frustrated the record champions with a brilliant display of blanketing defence in Berlin back in September and have maintained those standards throughout the campaign.

1-0 to Bayern looks a cracking correct score play

Therefore, goals may not be easy to come by, but striking early when Union are at their most vulnerable will be the hosts’ best way forward. The Iron Ones have shipped the opening goal in five of their last six Bundesliga away games and although they have gone on to lose only three – Bayern’s ability to manage the game if they go in front could be terminal for Union.

A 1-0 home victory could be the eventual outcome this weekend as Union’s defensive structure is rarely overrun – even by the best teams. They have conceded only four goals in their last six league games and never more than once in nine competitive outings since the winter break.
