Bayern Munich travel to the German capital this weekend for a Bundesliga match at Union Berlin on Saturday. The visitors arrive top of the table with 23 points from ten games played. Union, meanwhile, are sixth in the table - a Europa League spot - with 16 points. An impressive 11th place finish in their first Bundesliga season has been the foundation for Union's push for a European place. However, their pursuit of continental competition could take a hit against Bayern, the reigning champions of the division. Hansi Flick's juggernaut has been superb in the early parts of the season following their treble win in 2019/20. They won both matches against Union last season, and they are unlikely to look at anything but three points at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei as unacceptable. Unbeaten in their previous 16 matches in all competitions, Bayern ended a run of two draws by swatting aside Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night. That 2-0 home success also saw them halt a run of nine games without a clean sheet. 

However, away from home, Bayern are without a clean sheet in their last seven games, six of which have been victories. Union are unbeaten in their previous four outings at home, winning twice. Three of those four contests saw them score three or more goals, so they will be confident about adding to Bayern's clean sheet drought on the road. Back Bayern to win and both teams to score.
