As Sauron seemingly had no power over the Balrog for this creature is too old and too powerful for that, I have wondered why it sides the orcs and trolls and goes after the Nine towards the Bridge.

It's my esteemed opinion (yeah, right) that the Balrog wasn't necessarily siding with the goblins / orcs. Yes, it goes after the Nine, but when it appeared (both in the book and the movie), the goblins ran away (if I'm remembering correctly) because they were frightened of it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please...
