Prediction

  • This match was postponed in December after a snow deluge and Union do enjoy the advantage in terms of rest after their game on Friday evening also fell victim to the weather.
  • Perennial champions Bayern failed to score for the first time in 44 Bundesliga games in their shock 1-0 home reverse to Werder Bremen.
  • Union snapped a 16-game run without a win in all comps before the winter break, but still hover uncomfortably close to the automatic relegation spots.
  • In freezing Bavaria, back Bayern to get back on track with the three points.
