A battle between teams from two different halves of the Bundesliga table

Union Berlin have played 29 Bundesliga games so far and after those league games they have managed to collect just 29 points in total. This points tally keeps them currently in the 13th place for the 2023-24 season. Die Eisernen’s last match ended in a 2-0 defeat to FC Augsburg in the WWK ARENA.

FC Bayern Munich were last active in the UEFA Champions League competition. A 1-0 home result against Arsenal helped them win 3-2 on aggregate and move to the semi-finals. In the German league, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have already been crowned champions which means Die Roten have only the second place to hold on.

Players to Watch

Robin Gosens (Union Berlin)

Robin Gosens arrived at the start of the season after moving in from Inter Milan. The left-footed player can fit two roles perfectly – left midfielder and the left back. The 29-year-old has so far scored 6 goals in the league for Nenad Bjelica’s side.

Harry Kane (Bayern)

The 30-year-old is enjoying his first year abroad. After finally leaving England to move to Germany everything has been flowing well so far. Harry Kane‘s 32 Bundesliga goals keep him in the top scorer spot. Kane is also just 3 games away with the final one needing a win to finally lift the UCL title.

Injury & Team News

Rani Khedira suffered a thigh injury last league match so isn’t ready just yet. Similarly, Josip Juranovic and Yorbe Vertessen also have a few days left to be back. Jérome Roussillon still has some weeks left to recover from a calf injury. Goalkeeper Jakob Busk should be back by this month.

The visiting team surely will be without Tarek Buchmann. Buchmann suffered a season-ending injury back in September 2023. Thomas Tuchel’s side will also be without the likes of Serge Gnabry, Sacha Boey, Kingsley Coman and Bouna Sarr.

Predicted Lineup

Union Berlin predicted lineup (3-5-2):

Rønnow (GK); Doekhi, Vogt, Leite; Trimmel, Tousart, Schafer, Laïdouni, Gosens; Aaronson, Kaufmann

Bayern predicted lineup (4-2-3-1):

Neuer (GK); Kimmich, de Ligt, Dier, Mazraoui; Pavlovic, Guerreiro; Musiala, Muller, Tel; Kane

Match Prediction for Union Berlin vs Bayern

The visiting side can’t aim any higher than second place while the hosts will want to collect more points to try and secure their state in the division. The reverse fixture ended 1-0 in favour of Bayern and with Union Berlin failing to find the back of the net in their last three league games, they are in for trouble. Tuchel will want nothing but a positive result here and later against Eintracht Frankfurt before they collide with Real Madrid in the UCL semi-finals.

Prediction: Union Berlin 0-3 Bayern
