On Saturday evening, Union Berlin and Bayern Munich clash at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the Bundesliga.
Union Berlin still not clear of troubleThe team from the German capital are still not clear of the league’s bottom three. In fact, they are just three points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
A 2-0 defeat at Augsburg last time out in the Bundesliga means that Union have won just once in their previous six outings, having suffered four defeats in the poor run.
Their recent games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games in the German top flight.
Union have won just once in their last four home Bundesliga games. Their recent league matches on home soil have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous seven games.
Bayern booked their place in the Champions League last four last time outThe Bavarians recorded a 1-0 home win over Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, progressing 3-2 on aggregate to the last four of the competition.
The win means that the visitors are unbeaten in three games in all competitions, having recorded back-to-back wins.
Despite a 2-0 home win over Koln last weekend in their last Bundesliga game, Thomas Tuchel’s team saw Bayer Leverkusen take the German top-flight crown after a 5-0 home win for Die Werkself against Werder Bremen.
The title is now beyond them. However, Bayern will want to end the season in strong form, especially as they will need the momentum to take into their Champions League campaign.
Bayern’s recent league form has been inconsistent. They have won three and lost two of their last five matches in the Bundesliga.
What am I backing?Union’s form has been questionable lately, while Bayern have enjoyed mixed fortunes lately. However, the win over Arsenal in midweek will fill the visitors with confidence, and I feel that will be enough to see the former champions to victory in this clash.
