Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Prediction and Betting Tips | February 26th 2023

In a top-of-the-table clash, Bayern Munich and Union Berlin will go head-to-head in the Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena on Sunday. Both teams have 42 points to their name and are only separated by goal difference.

The hosts suffered just their second defeat in the Bundesliga last Saturday as Borussia Monchengladbach eked out a 3-2 home win. Dayot Upamecano was sent off in the eighth minute, so Bayern had to play with a numerical disadvantage for almost the entirety of the match.

Borussia Dortmund picked up a win in the previous round of fixtures and also have 42 points to their name. Union Berlin failed to make the most of Munich's slip as they played out a goalless draw at home against Schalke last Sunday.

Union Berlin defeated Ajax in the UEFA Europa League playoffs on Thursday, as goals from Robin Knoche, Josip Juranović, and Danilho Doekhi helped them record a 3-1 win on aggregate.

They might be slightly tired from their midweek game and might struggle against the hosts, who head into the game with a rest of eight days.

3 - In FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin, three teams are tied on points at the top after matchday 21 of the #Bundesliga - the first time this has happened at such a late stage of the season since the introduction of 3-points per win. Exciting.

Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Prediction

The Bavarians have a lengthy injury list and will also be without the services of Upamecano, who will serve a one-match suspension. They are unbeaten at home this season and have never suffered a defeat against the visitors, so they should be hopeful of a positive outcome.

🗣️ @J__Nagelsmann: "I'm expecting a high-class game. It's always tough to play Union because they give you such little space. It will be an exciting and interesting match, which we will hopefully win."

Die Eisernen have seen an upturn in their form this year and are undefeated since the resumption of the Bundesliga last month. They held the hosts to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture and, considering their current form, we expect them to produce another strong performance.

Fatigue might be a factor for the visitors, but they have looked solid in their recent games, and we are backing them to take home a point from this game.
