Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Prediction: There are no favorites

The battle for the Bundesliga crown is heating up and the reigning champions find themselves in a bit of a swubble after their last slump against Borussia M'gladbach in the last game. Union Berlin are in the tussle for the crown and they turn their attention to this game after their last triumph against Ajax in the Europa league. A win for either side is vital for their continuous survival in the battle for the Bundesliga crown. Will Bayern Munich be able to silence their doubters and take over control?

Bayern Munich have been adequately challenged this season and there's growing concern that there might be a new champion in a few months. Bayern Munich slumped to a 3-2 against Borussia M'gladbach, in a tight encounter. Dayot Upamecano was sent off for a professional foul just 8 minutes into the match and the hosts took the lead shortly after. However Bayern Munich fought hard to keep the game alive but could score only 2 goals at the end of 90 minutes. 

Bayern Munich have 4 wins and 1 loss in their last 5 matches and they need to keep winning to retain their place. Bayern Munich are in 2nd place with this game in hand. They have 43 points, from 12 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats in 21 matches.

Union Berlin were pegged to a 0-0 against struggling Schalke 04. It was a disappointing affair for Union Berlin, who were in an incredible run already. They now face the ultimate test against Bayern Munich in what is a title decider for both sides. Union Berlin proved their doubters wrong by beating Ajax 3-1 in the Europa League. So the concerns of a slump has been put to bed and they are expected to turn up in this match.

Union Berlin is yet to beat Bayern Munich, but I feel the narrative could change. Bayern Munich are playing under pressure and Union Berlin are willing to test the reigning champions. Union Berlin will come into this game with much confidence and it is unclear if Bayern Munich will suffer one of those off moments. But either way, I see goals coming from both sides in this match.
