The Bundesliga returns this weekend with Union Berlin hosting Bayern Munich.

Bayern currently lead the Bundesliga by five points after an inconsistent start to the 2019/20 season.

However, their four point lead may have been cut to just one by the time they play, meaning victory is a must.

Union Berlin will be hoping for a big upset win. They currently sit eleventh in the table.
