Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich: Team news, lineup, prediction | OneFootball

Union Berlin will face Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 8 November, at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. 

Die Eisernen will look to do what nine Bundesliga teams have failed to do thus far: pick up points against Vincent Kompany’s men.

Bayern have won nine games in a row in the league, and 16 in all competitions, while Union Berlin have picked up only one win in their last five league games.

The home side have made a decent start to the season, picking up 11 points from their opening nine games.

Steffen Baumgart’s side have already won against Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt this season, but they have been struggling in recent games.

What must be really concerning for them is that Union Berlin have failed to find the net in four of their last five league games.

At the same time, they are undefeated in their last three home games in the Bundesliga, securing one win and two draws.

Bayern are bubbling in confidence at the moment, and they produced an outstanding performance to pick up a 2-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

Luis Diaz scored twice in the first half, but he was shown a red card for a poor challenge on Achraf Hakimi, which allowed PSG to come back into the game.

The Bavarian giants produced a defensive masterclass, ensuring they picked up all three points, with both Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah producing heroic performances.

In the league, Bayern have already taken a healthy five-point lead, and they have been winning games comfortably. They have scored 33 goals this season already, and conceded just four.

Nobody has come close to beating Bayern so far, and their ruthlessness in front of goal puts them as firm favourites for this game.

Christopher Trimmel has served his one-match suspension and could return to the line-up against Bayern. Andrik Markgraf and Robert Skov are both confirmed absentees.

Diaz picked up a red card in the Champions League, but European suspensions do not carry over into the Bundesliga.

What is really scary is that Bayern can reach another level when Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala return from injuries.
