So impressive in front of their own fans, Union Berlin will have to make do without the backing of supporters when they host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this Saturday. The spread of the Coronavirus has meant that many games around Germany will take place behind closed doors, including this one at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Two games without a win, Union, who are 11th in the table, could have used the support. Bayern, top of the table, are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, winning ten of those games. They were recently dealt the blow of losing Robert Lewandowski through injury. The division's top marksman with 25 goals, he is set to be out of action until April. Bayern have been coping well without him, winning the three games since that injury with a goals-per-game average of three. However, his absence was notable in the recent 2-0 win over Augsburg, a game that goalless until the second half.

Union have acclimatised well to the Bundesliga on their first season in the top flight. As we've already mentioned, their success has been built off the back of strong home form. Lately, they haven't been as imperious on their own patch, failing to win three of their last four home games. Yet there is still time to cap a magical season with the clinching of a European place. They are eight points clear of the relegation zone and seven away from a European place. Having scored in five of their last six home games, we wouldn't be surprised to see them get on the scoresheet against Bayern, as they did at the Allianz Arena back in October. However, Bayern have the quality to comfortably overcome their opponents. Back Bayern to win and both teams to score.
