It’s an unlikely top-of-the-table clash in the Bundesliga this weekend as Bayern Munich welcome the high-flying Union Berlin to Allianz Arena on Sunday.
The Bundesliga holders relinquished their grip on the top of the table after a series of poor results, including an embarrassing 3-2 loss to perennial enemies Borussia Mönchengladbach last time.
That result means that they have won just twice across their last six league matches since the winter break (D3, L1). Yet, that was just a second Bundesliga loss of the season for the hosts, who still finished matchday 21 top of the table on goal difference, and recently beat PSG 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie.

But with Borussia Dortmund flying high, Bayern are in danger of dropping down if they fail to beat a Union Berlin side who are also in the title mix. The visitors are level on points, with Bayern having missed a crucial opportunity to go top courtesy of a goalless draw with Schalke 04 in their last league outing.
Yet, they are a team in solid form and come into this tie on the back of a huge 3-1 win over Ajax in the Europa League. The win made it nine games without defeat for the Iron Ones.
Yet, they must make history to win here, as they have never won in seven previous H2H meetings between the two sides (D3, L4).
