The 1-0 defeat to Werder Bremen last weekend was Munich's first loss since the November DFB Pokal second round exit to German third tier outfit Saarbrucken. Leverkusen remain unbeaten in the league and across all competitions this season, posing a serious threat to the perennial winners' chances of retaining their title.
Standing in their way this week are the inconsistent Union Berlin, who have somewhat managed to pick themselves up in recent months, recording three wins and two draws to lift themselves out of the Bundesliga relegation places. Things remain tight at the foot of the table, meaning a heavy defeat in the Bavarian capital could immediately endanger them once again.
Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin Tips
Leroy Sane Anytime Assist
Outside of Harry Kane, Leroy Sane has been Bayern Munich's driving creative force this campaign. The former Man City winger has provided 20 goal contributions in 26 appearances across the Bundesliga and Champions League, setting up 11 of those for his teammates.
He's been a large benefactor for just how clinical Kane has proven in Germany, together accounting for a combined 52 goal contributions in the league and UCL, and one of the pair being directly involved in 45 of Bayern's 52 goals in this competition.
Sane has set up Munich's No.9 in two of their last four outings, providing Munich with four assists in his last five matches. After providing six goals in his first eight league fixtures, the last 10 matches have seen the German turn provider, aiding in 10 goals in 13 matches and only failing to record an assist on three of those occasions.
Jamal Musiala Anytime Goalscorer
Niggling injuries have hampered Jamal Musiala's sustained progress this term, however, that hasn't prevented him from making an impact when he has been available for selection. The German forward, who Thomas Tuchel has asserted as his side's central attacking midfielder, is averaging a goal contribution once every two games, boasting seven goals and three assists in 20 appearances.
After a hamstrung injury which sidelined him for the wins over Heidenheim and Koln, Musiala has returned with three goals in five matches, including a brace against Hoffenheim two matches ago. Against this opposition the 20-year-old has netted twice and assisted a goal once, right up there with his favourite teams to face.
Bayern put three past Union Berlin in the reverse fixture last season, which when you consider that the capital club finished in the top four and secured Champions League football then, this side who've shipped 31 goals and lost 10 of their 16 fixtures could be in the firing line this week.
