Bundesliga 2022-23: Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin: Predicted ... (Khel Now)

Bayern Munich will be hoping to bounce back when they host Union Berlin on Sunday evening in the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin may also struggle to score a goal of their own, but we do not foresee them doing so. Bayern Munich entered this match with a perfect home record in their previous 17 league games. Union’s threat from corners is 17 per cent higher than the league average due to him, but they still only rank sixth on the list. Bayern Munich hasn’t had any trouble finding the back of the goal, scoring in each of their past six games after going out to play. He has excellent control and can outmuscle defenders in confined situations. They have amassed 15 during that time and have given away a total of 6.

Bundesliga title race: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Union ... (Sky Sports)

Bayern Munichs poor post-World Cup form has created a fascinating title race in the Bundesliga, with Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin chasing them for top ...

Union are unbeaten at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the Bundesliga this season, a run which has seen them draw with Bayern at their peak and beat Dortmund. This guy is incredible, and he is one of the keys to their success. His five goal contributions have been decisive for Dortmund in the six league games after the break. Julian Brandt, the Germany midfielder, has been a revelation for Dortmund in this period. "Since the World Cup their mindset is different. The Germans have a special attitude, if someone is really good and can do everything like Julian Nagelsmann, who is the most talented coach Germany has had for years, they say they are great and only positive things but if there is one fault they try to destroy them again. It is a hard position for him." Union Berlin are the team that no one expected to be here. They have to convince the fans but also the club’s bosses." Bayern Munich’s key players have not rediscovered the form they had before Christmas and the whole team, too. The 35-year-old later apologised on Twitter: "Emotions are part of sport. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and unlikely contenders Union Berlin are all level on 43 points after 21 games in the German top flight.

Bayern, Union Berlin In Bundesliga Top-of-the-table Clash (Concise News)

That the German champions' domestic struggles — Bayern have won just two of their last six in the league — left the door open should not be surprising, but that ...

Hoffenheim face Dortmund, the league’s most in-form side, on Saturday. Only one other side, last-placed Schalke, is winless in the new year (two losses and four 0-0 draws in succession). The manager, who apologised for the outburst, agreed to pay a 50,000 euro ($53,000) fine instead. It must be our goal to constantly deliver top performances,” the CEO told German sport site Kicker. 18/18 – With six wins from six games in 2023 — along with victories in the German Cup and the Champions League against Chelsea — Borussia Dortmund have come from nine points behind to close the gap on Bayern. Union boss Urs Fischer, who brought the side up from the second division, showed little disappointment after his team missed their chance to go two points clear on Sunday, reminding his team and the fans how far they have come – and where they are now.
