Match Preview

Bayern Munich enter at the top of the Bundesliga table with 55 points, but they are aware any slip-up might be costly with Borussia Dortmund sitting just one point behind. Die Roten are massive favorites in this matchup, and they have plenty of reasons to feel comfortable about getting a positive result. They are riding an 11-game unbeaten Bundesliga run (W10, D1), with nine of the ten wins during that period coming by at least a two-goal margin. Union Berlin, on the other hand, sit in 12th place in the standings but have won just one of their last five competitive matches (W1, D1, L3). They know their best bet to pull the upset is to play organized defensively and try to take advantage of the very few chances they will create. They have netted two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga matches at home, however.
