On Saturday afternoon, Union Berlin hosts Bayern Munich at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in what could be an intriguing Bundesliga clash.
Urs Fischer’s team has made a bright start to the new league campaign, picking up ten points from a possible 12. The current good run of form has continued from last season, as Union are now unbeaten in 11 matches in the German top-flight.
A 6-1 hammering of Schalke on their own patch last time out also means that the Union have recorded wins in five of their last six Bundesliga games.
Fischer’s team has undoubtedly been dangerous in attack in recent games, as they have scored at least two goals in all five of those recent league victories.
Union Berlin has a strong recent home record in the German top-flight. The boys from Berlin are unbeaten in their previous eight home matches in the Bundesliga, having recorded six wins. They have also scored at least two goals in four of their last five league matches on home soil.
The reigning German champions have won three of their opening four matches in the Bundesliga. A 1-1 home draw with Monchengladbach ended a three-game winning run in the German top-flight for the Bavarian giants. However, the draw extended Bayern’s unbeaten run in the league to six games.
The result last time out also ended a prolific run of scoring form for the champions, as they had scored at least two goals in their previous five league matches.
Bayern are unbeaten in their last three away games in the German top-flight, having recorded wins in five of their previous eight away matches in the Bundesliga.
Forebet predicts that Bayern Munich will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to maintain their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.
