Bayern Munich are looking to get closer to Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga and we have all the statistics, football predictions, team form and predictive analysis for you in this preview.
Bayern continue to trail Leverkusen at the top of the league table and will once again head into a gameweek behind Xabi Alonso’s men.
The gap is currently seven points on Leverkusen, although this match is a game in hand for Bayern which can reduce the gap to four.
However, the club lost at home last time out to Werder Bremen on home soil, and this was just the third time within the past two seasons that Bayern have lost at home without scoring a single goal.
The last victory for Bayern was at home to Hoffenheim, as Jamal Musiala continued his excellent form with a goal, alongside Harry Kane's 22nd Bundesliga goal of the season.
Prior to the winter break, Bayern also managed to defeat Wolfsburg away from home, Stuttgart at home and defeat Manchester United in the Champions League at Old Trafford to finish top of their group.
The probability of Bayern winning this is predictably high with the Bundesliga champions aiming to get one over on the men from the capital, given how they are way down in the bottom half of the table.
Union Berlin have secured only four wins this season from 16 games and they have also lost the most games for those sitting outside of the relegation zone with 10 defeats on the board.
Worse yet, no side outside of the bottom three have scored fewer goals than them with 17 netted so far.
Despite getting into the Champions League last season, Union continue to fight for survival this season, The Berlin side did manage to get a draw away to Freiburg last time out with a o-0 draw keeping their head just above water.
This did extend the unbeaten run of the club to two games, as they manage to defeat Koln last time out in a meeting with a fellow relegation fighter, as Benedict Hollerbach and David Datro Fofana scored a goal each.
The gap is currently 27 points on Bayern for Union and they are only above the relegation zone by three points. This does mean they can end up in the relegation zone this weekend if Mainz were to win and they were to lose.
Forebet predicts a win for Bayern and under 2.5 goals.
