There are just 16 points separating Bayern Munich from their latest Bundesliga Meisterschale, and the Bavarians will be looking to take a step closer when they host Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena this Saturday afternoon.
Vincent Kompany’s men are flying high across all competitions, and they will enter this weekend’s fixture on the back of a devastating 10-2 aggregate victory over Atalanta in the Champions League.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, picked up an important victory over Freiburg – a result which provides a boost of confidence as Die Eisernen look for their first-ever Bundesliga win over Bayern.

| 1st | Position | 9th |

With Bayern Munich enjoying a nine-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga, it is not a case of if they will lift the Meisterschale, but rather when.
To guarantee the title regardless of other results, Bayern need to win 16 more points to reach the total of 83. That is because second-placed Borussia Dortmund can mathematically reach a maximum of 82.
Bayern Munich have only conceded 25 goals this season in the Bundesliga - that is less than one goal per game.
Finishing with 83 points would mark Bayern’s fifth greatest Bundesliga campaign, and it would also surpass their tally of 82 from last season.
Despite some great potential accolades, Bayern are heading into the weekend with several high-profile absentees.
Goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich are both injured, meaning Jonas Urbig will continue in net. Elsewhere, Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson are both suspended, while Jamal Musiala is a doubt due to an ankle problem.
With one eye on a huge Champions League quarter-final tie with Real Madrid, Bayern will be hoping to avoid any unnecessary drama on the domestic scene as they look to wrap up the league crown.
When it comes to Union Berlin, the club will be looking to make history, considering they have never beaten Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Union Berlin have managed to score against Bayern Munich in four of their previous five meetings.
Die Eisernen have already caused the Bavarians problems, becoming the first team to take points off Kompany’s men earlier this season with a 2-2 draw.
The club also gave Bayern a run for their money in the DFB Pokal, losing the match 3-2 following a thrilling battle.
Union, who are still at risk of being dragged into a relegation battle, improved their position in the table with a couple of important league wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg.
The team currently occupy ninth spot in the table, though only seven points separate them from the bottom three - a gap which they would love to increase during this final stretch of the season.
In terms of injuries, goalkeeper Matheo Raab is out of action and will be replaced by the returning Frederik Ronnow.
Robert Skov remains on the sidelines with a calf injury, while Andras Schafer is suspended after picking up a red card earlier this month.

Whispers predicts: Bayern Munich 3-2 Union Berlin
With the title almost in their hands and a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid around the corner, we are expecting Bayern to make a few changes.
That, alongside their eight-match clean sheet drought at home, gives us a little bit of hope in Union Berlin.
The visitors are capable of turning this into a competitive game, and we are backing both teams to score at around even money.
If you really fancy Union to make an impact, you could back them in the double chance market at 4/1, though there is more risk associated with that selection.
Over 2.5 goals is more realistic, with this bet landing in six of Bayern Munich’s last seven outings.
> Over 2.5 goals at 30/100 | Likelihood: Probable
> Double Chance Union Berlin - Draw at 4/1 | Likelihood: Ousider
> Both teams to score - yes at 1/1 | Likelihood: Probable
