Union Berlin

LLWDLL

Union Berlin will be hoping for a better result following the 2-0 Bundesliga 1 defeat last time out to Augsburg.

In that match, Union Berlin managed 53% possession and 17 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Augsburg had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Phillip Tietz (47') and Sven Michel (81') scored for Augsburg.

A recurring aspect of more recent Union Berlin games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their prior sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a loser.

Bayern Munich

WLLDWW

Bayern Munich come into this match following a 1-0 Champions League win with the eclipse of Arsenal in their last fixture.

In that match, Bayern Munich had 51% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Bayern Munich was Joshua Kimmich (63'). At the other end, Arsenal had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.

Proving their bias toward high-scoring encounters, we’ve seen goals 21 times in the previous 6 matches in which Bayern Munich have played, giving a mean average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Their opponents have managed 9 of those goals. That trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, however.

An aggregate of 19 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 4 of them for Union and 15 coming from Bayern. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.17.

ℹ️ Team News: Union Berlin

The Union Berlin manager Nenad Bjelica will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match with a completely injury-free squad available to select from.

We are thinking that Union could make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this one and select Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Kevin Vogt, Diogo Leite, Christopher Trimmel, Lucas Tousart, Rani Khedira, Andras Schafer, Robin Gosens, Yorbe Vertessen and Brenden Aaronson.

📋 Team News: Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Leroy Sané (Inflammation of pubic bone), Kingsley Coman (Adductor injury), Serge Gnabry (Torn muscle fiber), Sacha Boey (Torn muscle bundle), Bouna Sarr (Cruciate ligament tear) and Tarek Buchmann (Torn muscle bundle) will miss out on this game.

From our viewpoint, Bayern might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Matthijs de Ligt, Eric Dier, Alphonso Davies, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Leon Goretzka, Thomas Mueller, Jamal Musiala, Mathys Tel and Harry Kane.

💡 Prediction

We feel that Bayern Munich will most probably create a decent amount of chances and shots on target.

However, Union Berlin will be up against it to score themselves but we do see them converting at least once here.

Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning margin for Bayern Munich after 90 minutes.
