Vincent Kompany's side start the weekend two points behind early pace-setters Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund, so they will return to the top of the table - albeit potentially for less than 24 hours - if they take all three points at the Allianz Arena.
Union have been leaking goals in the opening few weeks of the season, so a trip to the champions looks a daunting task for Mauro Lustrinelli and his players.

Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin: Preview
It feels strange for Bayern Munich not to be top of the Bundesliga, but Die Roten begin the weekend fourth in the table after an awkward pair of away assignments at two newly-promoted teams.
Vincent Kompany's side looked set to sweep all before them again this season when they thrashed VFB Stuttgart 5-1 on the opening night of the campaign, but that was followed by a 0-0 draw at Schalke and a 2-1 win at Elversberg in which Harry Kane secured victory 18 minutes from time.
It is early days, of course, and Kane will be looking to score in back-to-back Bundesliga games after failing to find the net in Bayern's first two league matches - a goal drought by his standards.
Kompany made seven changes to his starting lineup against Elversberg and several of his stars could be set to return to the XI tonight, including Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz.
Bayern's inability to dispatch Schalke and Elversberg may offer Union a source of hope heading into tonight's game, following a difficult start under Mauro Lustrinelli.
After a thrilling 3-3 opening-day draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, Die Eisernen were thrashed 4-0 at Bayer Leverkusen and lost 3-1 at home to Schalke, leaving them 16th in the table after three matches.
Union appear to have lost the defensive solidity that has been a key factor in the club establishing themselves in the Bundesliga, which is not a good sign when you are about to play a team that scored 122 goals in 34 league games last term.
Their chances of a shock result are not helped by a lengthy injury list which includes defenders Josip Juranovic, Andrik Markgraf, Marvin Friedrich and Stanley Nsoki, plus forwards Andrej Ilic and Oliver Burke.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Bayern Munich 4-0 Union Berlin
We expect Bayern to rediscover their killer instinct against a Union side who are going through a difficult patch.
