Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

After a fairly terrible first part of the season during which it spent several weeks in the red zone, Union Berlin corrected its situation from December onwards and it seemed to be heading towards remaining fairly calm. But ultimately, everything is called into question now for the Iron Men who only have a 3 point lead over the jump-off before the last 5 days. The players from the capital have only won one of their last 7 matches and they remain in 3 matches without success. Hanging on the side of Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0, the Berliners were then dominated by Bayer Leverkusen 0-1 and by Augsburg 2-0. There was no longer any doubt but it is now official, Bayern Munich has returned his crown as German champion after having held it for a dozen years.

Relegated 16 points behind Bayer Leverkusen 5 days from the end of the season, Thomas Tuchel's men will no longer be able to defend their title. The fault, in particular, of their last 2 losses suffered against Borussia Dortmund 0-2 and Heidenheim 3-2 which the success obtained against Cologne 2-0 last weekend could not erase. At the same time, the Bavarians face Arsenal this week in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Held to a draw in London last week 2-2, they finally defeated the Gunners at home to qualify for the last four of the competition 1-0.

On the Berlin side, replacement goalkeeper Busk, replacement striker Vertessen, Croatian full-back Juranovic and former Montpellier full-back Roussillon have still not recovered to challenge Bayern. Midfielder Khedira, injured in a thigh, will also be absent this Saturday evening. On the other hand, left back Gosens will be back after being suspended. He is still the team's top scorer with 6 goals to his name. Tricolor midfielder Tousart is also authorized to play again. With 25 goals scored, the Union only has the 17th offensive record in the Bundesliga.

For Bayern, the right back replacing Boey, the former Marseillais in the same position Bouna Sarr and the little used Buchmann are not operational. They were joined on the flank by the too fragile wingers Gnabry and Coman while the Moroccan Mazraoui was injured against Arsenal on Wednesday evening. Suspended in C1 this week, left piston Davies is back. As for the forces present, we find the indestructible Thomas Müller (4 goals, 8 assists TCC), the very good Leroy Sané (9 goals, 12 assists) and the great hope Musiala (12 goals, 7 assists TCC). We must also count on the insatiable scorer Kane (37 goals, 10 assists TCC) who is by far the top scorer in this championship with 32 goals to his name in the Bundesliga.
