Bayern Munich v Union Berlin

Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Preview

Bayern Munich return to their Allianz Arena for Wednesday night's encounter against Union Berlin still smarting from their disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Werder Bremen on Sunday and the hosts will be in determined mood as they welcome a Union Berlin outfit who sit just above the relegation play-off spot after managing to collect just two wins from their previous 14 league matches overall in the Bundesliga.

Despite sitting in second place in the Bundesliga table, Bayern Munich now find themselves seven points adrift of the league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen, prior to this midweek clash with lowly Union Berlin following recent defeats at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1 away from home) and the 1-0 loss at home to Werder Bremen.

These have been Bayern Munich's only slip-ups though so far in this German top flight campaign whilst Thomas Tuchel's side have also picked up 13 wins from their 17 league matches played to date this term, so the hosts look set to inflict another win over their visitors on home soil on Wednesday night.

Bayern Munich have won seven of their nine home games so far this season and along with scoring three goals or more in seven of these nine games, the hosts have also kept five clean sheets in the process as well.

Union Berlin have picked up recent wins against Borussia M'gladbach and FC Cologne in recent weeks which were both achieved on home soil at their Stadion An der Alten Försterei and these victories have enabled Union Berlin to keep their heads above water and above the relegation play-off spot for the time being.

However, although Union Berlin possess a three-point cushion above third from bottom placed club Mainz, the visitors do face a very tough trip to face Bayern Munich on Wednesday night who will no doubt be anxious to return to winning ways in their pursuit of another Bundesliga league title.

The two aforementioned wins achieved by Union Berlin have been Nenad Bjelica side's only highlights though in their previous 14 league matches overall in the Bundesliga which includes slumping to 10 defeats within this poor period of results.

Six of these 10 defeats have been inflicted upon Union Berlin on their travels with losses incurred at Wolfsburg, Heidenheim, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen and Bochum, while the visitors have managed to record just one away win all season.

In addition, Union Berlin have failed to score in five of their eight away games so far this season as well, thus making this upcoming trip to the Allianz Arena even tougher.

Bayern Munich v Union Berlin Verdict
