Following a shock home defeat last weekend, Bayern Munich will be targeting a swift return to winning ways as they welcome Union Berlin to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. The Bavarians have a fine record in this fixture and should claim the upper hand over their visitors, who continue to struggle on their travels.
Bayern Munich are coming off a shock 1-0 defeat to Werder Bremen in their previous Bundesliga fixture. They were uncharacteristically subdued in attack with striker Harry Kane blazing over the bar with his best effort.
That defeat means Bayern Munich now have a harder task chasing down leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Thomas Tuchel’s men are seven points off the pace and will move to within three points with victory in Wednesday’s game in hand.
The good news is that was Bayern Munich’s first home defeat of the season having previously looked imperious in front of their fans. Some of their most one-sided results have come at the Allianz Arena with an 8-0 victory over Darmstadt and a 7-0 triumph over Bochum among their recent results.
Union Berlin travel to the Allianz Arena off the back of a 0-0 draw with Freiburg last time out in the Bundesliga. Despite creating several goalscoring opportunities, they failed to convert any of their four attempts on target.
While manager Nenad Bjelica will be disappointed not to have won, the result means Union Berlin are now unbeaten in their last three matches. The capital club are slowly easing themselves away from danger and are now three points above the relegation zone.
One problem that still persists for Union Berlin is their poor record on the road as they are winless in their last 11 matches. They have suffered eight defeats in that run, failing to score in three of the last four.
