Bayern Munich have scored the Bundesliga 2023-24

Despite being at the top of their game this season, Bayern Munich still lies two points off of the top spot in the Bundesliga. With Bayer Leverkusen challenging Bayern Munich for the top spot, every game has become crucial for Bayern Munich. Although they are in good form, they still need to improve in certain areas. Especially in the last two matches, they struggled on the goalscoring front, heavily reliant on Harry Kane.

Last season, Union Berlin’s story was a worldwide highlight, but things are going downhill for the team now. Despite finishing fourth in the league and qualifying for the Champions League, Union Berlin is currently in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga. With nine losses from 12 matches, Union Berlin are 17th in the Bundesliga. They will need a sharp turnaround in their form or it could be a big struggle for them.

Kick-Off:

December, 2 December 2023 at (8:00 PM IST)

Location: Allianz Arena, Germany

Form:

Bayern Munich (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-D

Union Berlin (in all competitions): L-D-L-D-D

Player to Watch

Robin Gosens (Union Berlin)

Union Berlin signed Robin Gosens this season, but so far, it has only been his show in the team. He has scored four goals for them so far, and he has proved to be their only shining light. At Inter, Gosens was used to more of a defensive role, but at Berlin, he has largely played an attacking role and it has been a perfect fit.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane Bayern vs Union Berlin — Harry Kane is leading the scoring charts in Germany

Harry Kane has been a star for Bayern Munich this season and again is going to be a critical man for them in this game. He has scored 18 goals already in 12 games only and is the top scorer of the league. Last season, Bayern Munich struggled with a leader upfront in Tuchel’s system and Kane’s addition to the squad has turned out to be the missing piece of their jigsaw puzzle.
