Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin – Predicted lineup and team news Bayern Munich and Union Berlin face off at the Allianz Arena on Saturday in a Bundesliga clash. Bayern arrive at this game sitting top of the table after 26 league fixtures, having recently drawn 1-1 away to Bayer Leverkusen. They have also eased into the Champions League quarter-finals with a commanding 10-2 aggregate victory in the round of 16.

The leaders will be aiming to collect three more league points before the final international break of the campaign. Bayern Munich team news Bayern Munich will be missing Alphonso Davies, Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich, Cassiano Kiala, David Santos and Wisdom Mike, all of whom are sidelined with injury problems. Jonas Urbig had been a major doubt before the Atalanta tie, and it looked as though 16-year-old Leonard Prescott would be handed a start.

But Urbig recovered in time to play the full 90 minutes. That appearance indicates he is fit again and expected to keep his place in goal against Union Berlin. Jamal Musiala is also unavailable and will not feature for Germany during the upcoming international window, with no confirmed date for his return yet.

Nicholas Jackson, Luis Díaz and Jonathan Tah are all ruled out through suspension and will therefore play no part in this fixture. On the positive side, Harry Kane returned to the starting XI in Bayern’s latest match after four games and marked his comeback with a brace, while Michael Olise is eligible to feature again, having missed the Champions League round of 16 second leg because of a European ban. Bayern Munich predicted lineup Possible Bayern Munich starting XI: Urbig; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Stanisic; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Karl, Gnabry; Kane.
