Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich predictions: Can the Bavarians claim yet another win?
Key stats
- The home side have won only once in their last four matches (W1, D2, 1L)
- The hosts have lost only one of their last five matches in front of their fans (W2, D2, 1L).
- Bayern Munich have lost only one fixture this season.
- Their last two meetings ended in draws, but Bayern have won three of the last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Union Berlin 1-2 Bayern Munich
While Bayern Munich have blown away almost all opposition that came their way this season, Union Berlin are way behind the champions in terms of performance this term. The gap in quality is quite evident, and that will surely play a part when these two sides go head-to-head on Wednesday.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that Union are a difficult side to brush away, we are predicting that Bayern Munich will claim a narrow 2-1 victory.
Pre-game odds and win probability: The Bavarians to claim a routine win?
- HOME: 7/1 (8.00) – 12.5%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19.0%
- AWAY: 1/4 (1.25) – 90.0%
**Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
By all projections, Bayern Munich are undoubtedly the favourites to claim the win and advance to the next stage of the competition. Form and the quality of the respective teams are quite glaring, and smart money should be on the away side to win.
At odds of 7/1 (8.00), which implies a 12.5% chance for the home side to win, but they remain the underdog when compared to Bayern Munich's odds of 1/4 (1.25), which translates to a 90.0% chance of a triumph for the Bavarians.

Bayern Munich preview: The visitors will aim to get past the hosts for time in three matches
Bayern Munich have been flying high this season, setting records along the way. That said, Union Berlin appears to be a stubborn opponent as the Bavarians could not defeat the hosts in their last two meetings, and they will be looking to change that this Wednesday.

Last five matches

Player to watch: Harry Kane
Harry Kane has been the trump card for Vincent Kompany's team, shouldering much of the goal-scoring responsibility for the Bavarians. With 14 stikes across 12 fixtures, this encounter provide another opportunity for the striker.
