Is the upset-minded Union Berlin squad ready to shock Bayern Munich? Anything could happen as the Bundesliga does its re-start.


German soccer is getting ready to roll once again. But is the Bundesliga safe? This is a question that can only be answered when these teams actually get on the pitch.

They'll start on Saturday, as the rest of the season, they hope, will be completed by June 30. Such a thing is critical for them, as there are not only player contracts that are going to be expiring at that time, but also television considerations, as the league can collect $325 million if it can get the schedule done by then.

BetAnySports customers who follow European soccer are aware that Bayern Munich, the league's dominant club, had taken first-place in the standings (the "table," if you will) with a four-point lead over Borussia Dortmund, and that represented a real comeback, because they had been languishing in seventh place for a while.

After winning ten of their last eleven matches, they are the heavy favorites to be crowned champions when all is said and done.

Here are the futures odds to win the Bundesliga title:

Bayern Munchen (Munich)     -475
Borussia Dortmund                +550
RB Leipzig                               +950
Bayer Levekusen                  +15000
Borussia Monchengladbach +15000

But there is still work to be done. On Sunday, Bayern will travel to Berlin to face off against FC Union Berlin, which has really impressed people on the way to being the eleventh-place squad in their first year of competition in Germany's top tier.

If you are expressing it in terms of won-lost-tie records as U.S. viewers are accustomed to seeing it, Union Berlin comes in with a record of nine wins, 13 losses and three draws, while Bayern Munich is 17-4-4 with a +47 goal differential, having surrendered just 26 goals in 25 games.

Bayern Munich Bundesliga betting tipsLast we looked over at BetAnySports, these were the Bundesliga betting odds on this game (of course, they are subject to change), with Bayern Munich (also referred to as Bayern Munchen) as a decisive favorite:

One of the people who has been powering the Bayern Munich effort is Robert Lewandowski, the Polish World Cup standout who is firmly established as one of the top goal scorers in the world. He has, in fact, scored 25 goals on the season, which is more than one a game (he's appeared in 23). So he's obviously incredibly hard to stop.

And now another great who has had as much of a proclivity to score as Lewandowski has joined back up with Bayern. Miroslav Klose has been in enough games with the national team that he holds the record with 16 World Cup goals. He's not an active player anymore, but has been coaching with Bayern's Under-17 team. Now he is moving up to the big squad as an assistant.

Klose has scored 71 goals for Germany and 53 for Bayern. He was a World Cup champion in 2014, when current Bayern coach Hansi Flick served as an assistant for the national side. He is one of the more prolific strikers in history. We're not sure he's going to show Lewandowski anything new, but he could be of great benefit to the others, according to Flick.

The interesting thing about Sunday's game is that Bayern got off to such a slow start, which is not necessarily anything new for them. Will this re-start be slow as well? Union Berlin, which actually had to win a relegation playoff to play with the big boys this season, has scored home upsets over the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach, the #2 and #4 teams, respectively, in the Bundesliga. Would it be outside the realm of possibility for them to come to within two goals in this one? We don't think so. And we're on board with that -113 price.
