Preview: Bayern Munich vs. Union Berlin – Team news and prediction
Bayern needs 3 points in the pursuit of the Bundesliga title when they host Union Berlin at home.
Bayern and Union face each other in the rescheduled Bundesliga match on Wednesday evening at the Allianz Arena, in a game where both teams would prefer to secure 3 points. Bayern lost their last match against Werder Bremen, also at the Allianz Arena, to the surprise of everyone, leaving them currently 7 points behind the league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. On the other hand, Union Berlin is part of the relegation battle, and every point matters for them now with a clear mission: to survive another season in the Bundesliga.
Union enters the match with 4 points in the last two games, starting to accumulate some results, and currently, they are just above the relegation zone with 14 points. This is a significant contrast to last season when they surprised everyone with impressive performances and secured a Champions League spot. Bayern needs to secure 3 points; anything less would be a disappointment. To avoid giving Bayer Leverkusen too much of an advantage, it is expected that Bayern will come out and seek to redeem themselves from the poor performance over the weekend.
