3303
The German Bundesliga resumes this weekend and there are two matches to look forward to on Sunday. The first of those takes place at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei as Union Berlin meet Bayern Munich.
The hosts begin the weekend in 11th place and have 30 points to their name while the visitors are top of the Bundesliga with 55 points, 4 points clear of their nearest challengers.
Union Berlin can be pleased with the progress they have made this season following their promotion via the relegation playoff. However, prior to the suspension of the Bundesliga Union Berlin were struggling to pick up victories and have won only one of their last 5 matches in all competitions. In their most recent fixture, Union Berlin were defeated 3-1 at Freiburg.
Home form shows just one win in their last 4 Bundesliga games and it will be interesting to see how they play one of their biggest matches of the season without any of their fans inside the stadium.
Trends show Union Berlin have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 games in all competitions but have conceded 2 or more goals in their 7 of their last 10 Bundesliga games. Both teams have scored in each of their last two home Bundesliga matches and there have been over 2.5 goals in each of those games.
Bayern Munich were flying prior to the suspension of the Bundesliga and they have remained undefeated in the last 15 matches in all competitions. Bayern Munich have won each of their last 6 games, including 4 victories in the Bundesliga, one in the Champions League and one in the DFB Pokal.
Bundesliga form shows 4 straight victories and 5 successive victories away from home for Bayern Munich. They have managed wins by 2 or more goals in 11 of their last 15 games in all competitions and both teams scored in 15 of Bayern Munich's last 20 away games in Bundesliga. In addition, Bayern Munich have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 20 of their last 25 matches in all competitions.
Trends show Bayern Munich have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last 5 away Bundesliga games. In fact, they have scored 20 goals across those five matches at an average of 4 goals per game.
Looking ahead to the team news and Union Berlin are without defender Marvin Friedrich who is suspended and will be a big loss. Sebastian Andersson and Sheraldo Becker are both injured while there are doubts over Akaki Gogia and Laurenz Dehl.
Bayern Munich travel without Corentin Tolisso, Niklas Süle and Philippe Coutinho who are injured. There was some doubt over Robert Lewandowski but the striker has been cleared to play.
If Union Berlin can deliver the same performance as they did when they defeated Borussia Dortmund, they may have a chance to cause an upset in this game. However, recent form suggests otherwise and expect to see Bayern Munich win the match with both teams scoring.
