Three things to know about Bayern:
- Vincent Kompany’s Bayern is seven goals away from reaching a century of goals. This hasn’t been achieved since 1971/72, where Bayern scored 101 goals. In the 2019/20 season, they scored exactly 100 goals. With seven matches left in the Bundesliga season, it would be hard to imagine the Bavarians not crossing 100 goals.
- Bayern’s last meeting with Union was a 3-2 win in the DFB-Pokal. Two of Bayern’s goals that match were own goals.
- Tomorrow’s match will only be the 15th time that Bayern and Union will face each other.
Three things to know about Union Berlin:
- Die Eisernen almost won against the Bavarians in the revers fixture but narrowly missed out on three points thanks to a late Harry Kane goal.
- Union won against Freiburg in their last match thanks to a 92nd minute goal by Jeong Woo-yeong, a former Bayern player.
- Union Berlin has never won against Bayern Munich. They have lost nine and drew five in all matchups to date.
Prediction: Bayern wins 3-0 with goals from Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, and Lennart Karl.
