Bayern Munich will look to continue their strong start to the season in the Bundesliga on Saturday when they take on Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena.
Having scored nine unanswered goals over the last week, Bayern Munich will be hungry for more as they gear up to face the resurgent Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany's side could be in for a tough test against the Berliners, but one they will be confident of overcoming.
Jamal Musiala netted a blistering first-half hat-trick to seal Bayern's place in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 on Wednesday, while Union Berlin were sent packing by third division side Arminia Bielefeld. Still, Bayern cannot afford to take Bo Svensson's team lightly. The former Mainz 05 head coach has a decent record against Bayern, having claimed three wins against them in seven meetings.
Union Berlin also have a number of talented players in their ranks, including the likes of Tom Rothe, Yorbe Vertessen, and Benedict Hollerbach.
With one eye on next week's crunch Champions League clash against SL Benfica, Vincent Kompany might look to make a few changes to his starting XI. Michael Olise should return to the team, while Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala are also expected to play from the start, and they could be joined by the in-form Leroy Sané in the front four.
Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin is set to air live in the United States on ESPN+, and fans in the Germany can watch the live Bundesliga action on Sky Sport.
