Bundesliga champions Bayern will look to make it ten league wins on the bounce against Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon. Having beaten PSG in the Champions League midweek, Bayern will be hoping to take that confidence into their next league game.
Nathan Joyes discusses the Bundesliga match and whether or not Vincent Kompany can continue his team's 100% win ratio.
Heading into a match against Bayern out of form isn't ideal. Union Berlin have picked up just five points from a possible 15 in recent weeks, scoring just three goals in the process.
However, their best work has been done at home, picking up eight points compared to just three on their travels.
If they are to get anything out of this match, they will need to see their top goalscorer to start finding his shooting boots again. Ilyas Ansah has four to his name but has drawn a blank in his last six matches.
Discipline will also need to improve. Last time out at home they managed to hold Freiburg to a draw but seven players picked up yellow cards - something that could prove costly against a team as strong as Bayern.
What else is left to say about Bayern? Even with 10 men they got the job done against PSG in their own back yard.
That victory made it 19 wins in a row across all competitions - and it's impossible to know who or what can stop Bayern at present.
Alongside Harry Kane Luis Diaz has been the main man. His brace proved the difference midweek - despite being sent off in the first half - but he's also scored five Bundesliga goals and contributed four assists.
On their travels, Bayern have won all four league matches scoring 13 goals and conceding just three. Only Hoffenheim have a better record, but they have played an extra game.
Bayern have never lost to Union Berlin, a run stretching back to their first ever competitive meeting in 2009.
Last season, Kompany's side won 3-0 at home but they did draw 1-1 in this fixture - where Leroy Sane's 75th minute strike was cancelled out by Benedict Hollerbach with just six minutes left on the clock.
Union Berlin haven't scored in their last two Bundesliga matches and now come up against arguably the best team on the planet. There looks to be only one winner but what's the best betting angle? Nathan Joyes provides his thoughts.
Bayern (2/9 with Betfred) will be in high spirits after their triumph over PSG but Kompany will make sure his squad is fully focused on Union Berlin as they look to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Only Dortmund have come close - losing by a single goal - while Bayern have blitzed anyone else who has crossed their path. All other eight matches have been won by a two-goal margin - in fact, eight have been by at least three goals.
The hosts (10/1 with Betano) are going to be in for a long 90 minutes. Not only have they never beaten Bayern, but they head into the match with some unconvincing league performances to their name.
Hoffenheim put four past them while Leverkusen scored three - two teams Bayern have ripped apart already this season.
With that in mind, Bayern at -1.75 Asian Handicap looks to be the best bet. If they win by two, you will land a half win, but any more and you're cashing in a winner.
