The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Union Berlin lock horns with Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich side in an important clash at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Preview
Union Berlin are currently in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Braga in the UEFA Champions League this week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Bavarian giants were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by FC Copenhagen in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
