Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin – Betting Preview
Before their vital Bundesliga match on Sunday at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich and Union Berlin are tied on 43 points.
Borussia Dortmund is sandwiched between Union Berlin and third-placed Bayern Munich in the table, with the former leading on goal differential.
Can the defending champs make a statement at home? Or will the capital’s surprise package continue their impressive title challenge?
Bayern Munich Preview
Following a 3-2 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach at Borussia-Park, in which Dayot Upamecano was sent off after just eight minutes, Bayern Munich enters the match on Sunday.
The Bavarians have won 12 games and drawn seven others during their current 21-game Bundesliga winning streak.
Yet, Bayern will be confident of recovering at home after going undefeated in each of their previous 22 games at the Allianz Arena.
The hosts shouldn’t have any trouble finding the back of the goal on Sunday, as Julian Nagelsmann’s team has scored in each of their previous 35 home games.
Union Berlin Preview
Union Berlin is having a tremendously great season and has one more win in the Bundesliga than Bayern Munich.
The capital club defeated Ajax 3-1 in the Europa League on Thursday, extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.
Even better, Union has won five of their last six Bundesliga matches, despite being held to a scoreless tie by Bundesliga’s worst team Schalke 04 last weekend.
Union has won each of their previous three away league contests, and each time, they have scored more than 1.5 goals. That will undoubtedly boost them confidence for the journey to Munich.
Union Berlin also ended Bayern Munich’s two-game winning streak in this matchup by holding Bayern to a 1-1 tie in the reverse matchup back in September.
It is important to note that Union has lost three games and drawn three games in their six efforts to defeat Bayern since being promoted in 2020!
