Preview
Union Berlin come into this after a mid-week DFB Pokal success in the 2nd round where they beat Waldhof Mannheim 3-1 away in extra time; which ensures progress.
Meanwhile in the Bundesliga, they drew Stuttgart in their last match 1-1 where Awoniyi broke the deadlock before Faghir scored late in extra time to salvage a point.
This left Union Berlin in 5th place with 16 points and in a comfortable space.
On the other hand, Bayern were dumped out of the DFB Pokal competition after being drubbed 5-0 by Monchengladbach.
This came as a surprise given the strong line-up Bayern Munich dished out for the clash.
However; in the Bundesliga they continued their great run with a 4-0 home win over Hoffenheim.
Gnabry, Lewandowski, Choupo-Moting and Coman scored for the Bavarian side; which kept them top of the table with 22 points.
Both sides last met in the Bundesliga in April where it finished 1-1 at the Allianz Arena.

Prediction: Union Berlin 1-2 Bayern Munich
Union Berlin is unbeaten in their last 16 home matches, which gives them enough confidence to go toe-to-toe against a hurting Bayern Munich side.
There will be quality on show from ends, as Bayern bid to get back to winning ways after their poor performance.
But given Bayern’s brilliance in the Bundesliga, we expect them to nick this by the odd goal.
Players to watch out for: Awoniyi, Kruse, Gnabry and Kimmich.
