BERLIN : Union Berlin host champions Bayern Munich on Saturday in a classic David versus Goliath battle for top spot in the Bundesliga.
With their 10 points from four games - as many as leaders Bayern - they have set a club record for their best season start and their run comes on the back of a strong previous campaign that saw them finish fifth, narrowly missing out on a Champions League spot. Only Bayern have scored more goals in the league so far with 16 but following a powerful first three games they slipped up last week with a draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Bayern are obviously favourites against Union, having expanded their attacking options following the departure of top scorer Robert Lewandowski.
