Bayern Munich head into their Champions League clash with Union Saint-Gilloise in frightening form and as one of the clear favourites to lift the trophy this season, softfootball reported.
Vincent Kompany’s side sit second in the league phase and are unbeaten since November 26, with that 3-1 loss to Arsenal remaining their only defeat in all competitions so far.
Since returning from the winter break, Bayern have been ruthless in front of goal, scoring 16 times in just three matches. Heavy Bundesliga wins against Wolfsburg (8-1) and RB Leipzig (5-1) underline the momentum they are carrying into this midweek European fixture. The German champions also confirmed the match on their official X handle, posting:
NEXT MATCH: #UCL is back! We host Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday,” a message that reflects confidence within the camp.
Harry Kane continues to lead the charge and is closing in on his personal best goalscoring season, already netting 32 goals in all competitions. Bayern will be eager to translate their domestic dominance onto the European stage once again.
Union Saint-Gilloise, meanwhile, are 27th in the standings and still chasing an outside chance of reaching the playoffs. Despite their position, the Belgian side have impressed on debut in the competition, picking up memorable away wins against PSV Eindhoven and Galatasaray. They are also unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.
