--------------------------------------------------------------------
Union Berlin
The home team are without the services of Jakob Busk. Meanwhile, the availability of Yorbe Vertessen, Jerome Roussillon, Josip Juranovic, and Rani Khedira will be assessed ahead of kickoff. They do have a boost as Robin Gosens and Lucas Tousart are both back available after serving a suspension.
The home team will go ahead with the 3-5-2 formation, where Frederik Ronnow will start in goal. Danilho Doekhi, Diogo Leite, and Kevin Vogt will form the back three. They will look to keep it tight at the back and will be supported by wing-backs Christopher Trimmel and Robin Gosens.
In the centre of the park, Rani Khedira will take charge as the defensive midfielder. He will be a shield in front of the back line. He will have the support of Lucas Tousart and Andras Schafer in his support as they aim to keep Bayern’s midfield quiet. In attack, Brenden Aaronson should continue alongside Mikkel Kaufmann.
Bayern Munich
The visitors will be without the services of Kingsley Coman, Sacha Boey, Tarek Buchmann, Gabriel Marusic and Bouna Sarr. Meanwhile, the availability of Serge Gnabry will depend on a late fitness test.
Thomas Tuchel is expected to rotate his team for this fixture as they recently squared up against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League and there is very little to pay for in the Bundesliga
Bayern Munich will stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, where Manuel Neuer will be in goal. Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies will be the full-backs, while Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Dier will take charge in the heart of the defence.
Aleksandar Pavlovic and Leon Goretzka will form the double pivot in front of the back four. Meanwhile, Thomas Muller and Mathys Tel will feature on the flanks and will look to provide width to their attacks. Jamal Musiala will be the attacking midfielder behind star striker Harry Kane.
Union Berlin possible starting lineup:
Ronnow; Doekhi, Vogt, Leite; Khedira; Trimmel, Tousart, Schafer, Gosens; Aaronson, Kaufmann
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier, Davies; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Muller, Musiala, Tel; Kane

Prediction: Union Berlin 1-3 Bayern Munich
While the pressure is on Union Berlin to pick up precious points in a bid to avoid the drop, Bayern are merely playing for pride, but Tuchel's men remain firm favourites to come out on top this weekend. Union Berlin's goal drought will be a concern for Bjelica, but even if they are to breach Bayern's backline, we believe that the visitors will find a way to outscore their opponents en route to claiming maximum points and consolidating second spot for at least another week.
