Bayern Munich Form
In the last round, Bayern Munich drew with Bayer Leverkusen (1:1), managing to hold on to the result despite playing the entire second half with 10 men. That match extended Vincent Kompany's side's unbeaten run to seven games (5 wins, 2 draws). It is worth noting that this was the first away match of the season in which the team scored fewer than two goals, and the defence, considered the best, conceded again – for the 10th time in the last 11 matches. Even so, there is no doubt about the title: Bayern Munich sit top of the Bundesliga with an 11-point lead over their closest challenger.
The club's scoring streak in the league now stands at 38 matches.
Across 13 home matches in the current season, Bayern Munich have recorded 11 wins (1 draw, 1 defeat).
Both teams have scored in Bayern Munich's last eight home Bundesliga games.
Potential Bayern Munich Lineup (4-5-1)
Jonas Urbig – Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah – Michael Olise, Lennart Karl, Joshua Kimmich, Luis Diaz, Aleksandar Pavlovic – Harry Kane.
Defenders Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, midfielder Jamal Musiala and goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Manuel Neuer are injured.
Union Berlin Form
The win over Freiburg in the last round (1:0) lifted Union Berlin to ninth place in the standings, but it was only the club's second victory in their last eight matches (1 draw, 5 defeats), and both were achieved by a one-goal margin. The Berlin side's low scoring is also notable: across 26 rounds, they have scored only 31 goals – the worst total among the teams in the top 10. Their defence is also unreliable: across the last eight games, the team have conceded 15 goals, and in half of those matches they shipped at least three.
Across 13 away matches in the current season, Union Berlin have recorded four wins (2 draws, 7 defeats).
In five of their last six league matches, the club have scored no more than once.
No more than three goals have been scored in five of Union Berlin's previous seven Bundesliga matches.
Potential Union Berlin Lineup (3-4-3)*
Frederik Ronnow – Danilo Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Stanley Nsoki – Rani Khedira, Derrick Kohn, Ilyas Ansah, Christopher Trimmel – Andrej Ilic, Jeong Woo-yeong, Aljoscha Kemlein.
Midfielder Robert Skov and defenders Diogo Leite and Tom Rothe are injured.
