Correct score prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Union Saint-Gilloise
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in the Bundesliga after 18 games, winning 16 of them, and scoring 71 goals. They are in red-hot form at the moment, and have an outstanding record in this competition as well.
The Bavarian giants are unbeaten in their last 37 home matches in the Champions League group stage/league phase, recording 35 wins and two draws, and have won eight of their nine home matches against Belgian sides.
The visitors have lost four of their last five Champions League games, and therefore Bayern are overwhelming favourites to win this game.
However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches, while Union Saint-Gilloise have scored first in their last six games, so expect them to score.

Thus, we can see Bayern are strong favourites to win this game. They are looking invincible at the moment, especially at home, and the bookies have priced them at 1/8 (1.13) with 88.5% probability of winning.
Bayern have conceded the opening goal against Koln and RB Leipzig in their previous two games, and Union Saint-Gilloise are priced at 9/2 (5.5), which could be very tempting.
The Bavarian giants have conceded in five of their last six matches, and BTTS – Yes at 1/1 (2.0) with 50% probability looks appealing.
The German champions have seen fewer than 10.5 corners in eight of their last nine games, and so Under 10.5 corners at 3/5 (1.6) with 62.5% implied probability is highly attractive.

Bayern Munich preview: Team news
Konrad Laimer is suspended for this game, and it will not matter, as he is currently injured. Josip Stanisic and Sacha Boey are also injured, which could force Vincent Kompany to use Joshua Kimmich at right-back.
Leon Goretzka appeared to pick up a knock in the last game, but he was able to continue. Tom Bischof could be asked to partner with Aleksandar Pavlovic if Goretzka is given a rest.
Jamal Musiala returned to action after a lengthy injury lay-off, but he needs to be gradually integrated. Therefore, he is not expected to start anytime soon, and Kompany would stick with either Serge Gnabry, Raphael Guerreiro or Lennart Karl for this fixture.
Predicted lineup: Neuer (GK), Kimmich, Upamecano, Tah, Davies, Pavlovic, Bischof, Olise, Gnabry, Diaz & Kane
