Bayern Munich will return to domestic action in the Bundesliga with an away game at Union Berlin this Saturday. This will be the Bavarians first league outing after being dethroned by Bayer Leverkusen and they still have second spot to play for. Union Berlin haven't had a great campaign and arrive for this game just three points above the relegation playoff position. In 10 meetings with Bayern Munich in their history, Union Berlin have never emerged victorious in this fixture. They will hope to end that here, as they really need points to push their quest for survival. With 20 points, and an inferior goal difference, a loss on Saturday could see them end up three places lower. Die Eisernen aren’t coming to this game on a strong run. They lost in their last two outings and failed to win any of the last three. Union actually failed to score in their last three matches. Their Bundesliga form guide reads one win in the last seven matches, with just one clean sheet in that run. They lost four of their last six matches.

Bayern Munich arrive for this game on a high, having negotiated through a tricky Champions League quarter-final win. The Bavarians beat Arsenal 1-0 on Wednesday to secure a place in the semis. Their poor league run that saw them dethroned by Leverkusen is behind them now and Bayern will be able to play without any pressure. They are coming into this game unbeaten in three matches, and in the last two they won without conceding. The visitors are in good scoring form too, having failed to net in just one of their last 11 matches, at home to Borussia Dortmund. In this game they have the chance to improve on their unimpressive away run in the Bundesliga. Their recent league run away from home reads just one win in five matches. The visitors will however be banking on their superior form and head-to-head run against Union Berlin. Home or away, they failed to win in just one of their last five meetings with Union Berlin. In three of their last four meetings with Union Berlin, Bayern kept clean sheets.
