Bayern Munich are looking to turn up the heat at home against Union Berlin and remind everyone why they remain the kings of the Bundesliga. After a shaky start that has left them chasing Freiburg and Dortmund, the champions know they need to put on a show and get back to winning ways in style. Fans are expecting fireworks as the Bavarians aim to blow away the Berliners who have been leaking goals left and right this season.
Team Form
The Reds have found it tough against promoted sides lately, scraping draws and narrow wins that show they are not yet at full throttle. Union Berlin on the other hand started with a new coach and a fresh style but things have gone south fast with just one point from three games and ten goals already shipped in defense.
- Bayern sitting two points off the top after early stumbles
- Union struggling with leaky backline and poor results on the road
- Home side motivated to fix their form before the international break
Tactical Analysis
Bayern will likely dominate possession and use their attacking stars to stretch the visitors who are trying to ditch their old defensive ways for something more modern. The switch has left Union exposed and a high press from the hosts could cause all sorts of problems especially with the home crowd pushing them forward. Key battles in midfield will decide how quickly the champions can break down the Berlin resistance and turn the game into a one sided affair.
Betting Proposal
With Bayern hungry for a big win and Union leaking goals everywhere the smart money is on the hosts to cover a heavy handicap. Bayern to win by three goals or more at 1.75 looks the value while the four goal margin option at 2.15 adds extra spice for those feeling bold. Expect the home side to run riot once they get the first goal.
