Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Bayern Munich will be looking to pick up where they left off when they travel to the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei to take on Union Berlin on Sunday.

Die Roten picked up 31 points from a possible 33 before the Bundesliga was suspended, building up a four-point lead at the top of the table.

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich latest odds

Having won each of their last five away matches in the league, they are clear 2/11 (1.18) favourites with bet365 to get straight back to business with another victory.

The hosts have won five of their last eight league matches in front of their own fans, but are 14/1 (15.00) outsiders to pull off a shock by coming out on top and are available at 6/1 (7.00) to claim an impressive point.

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich team news

Yunus Malli is unavailable after testing positive for coronavirus, while Sheraldo Becker and Akaki Gogia are injured and Marvin Friedrich is suspended.

Philippe Coutinho and Corentin Tolisso are both long-term absentees following ankle surgeries, with Niklas Sule also ruled out despite returning to light training after tearing his ACL.

Although many are delighted to have football back, Die Eisernen may particularly struggle with matches behind closed doors and without the support of their vociferous fans.

Urs Fischer’s men largely have their home form to thank for their comfortable mid-table position, winning five of their last eight in their own backyard but picking up just 11 points from a possible 33 on the road.

With home advantage significantly diminished, it is hard to see them competing with Hans-Dieter Flick’s high-flying team.

Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich predictions

Having become the first team in Bundesliga history to score at least three goals in five consecutive away matches, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem generous on Bayern scoring over 2.5 once again versus a Union team that conceded 14 times in six league games prior to the lockdown.
