THE PREDICTION
Bayern Munich have won just one of their last three Bundesliga games, which by their high standards is a bad run! Nevertheless, they have only lost one of their last 30, so they will not be too concerned. This could be another tricky assignment for the champions away to Union Berlin, who have arguably been the surprise package in Germany’s top flight so far this season. That said, their eight-game unbeaten run did end at local rivals Hertha last Friday and they are missing influential top scorer Max Kruse, who has been a big part of their success following his move in the summer. With key players like Robert Lewandowski and Kingsley Coman completely rested in the Champions League in midweek, Bayern should win this one pretty comfortably.
