Union Berlin Double Chance
Bayer Leverkusen have gone eight games without defeat in the Bundesliga and their 2-0 win at home to RB Leipzig last weekend felt like another significant moment for the improving Die Werself, however, a follow-up win at Union Berlin could be more difficult to secure. The hosts are one of just two teams, alongside Bayern Munich, yet to lose at home his term and the Stadion An der Alten Försterei is a notoriously difficult venue to visit. With home advantage likely to be key again, our opening Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction recommends a stake on the hosts in the double chance market.
Both Teams to Score
Xabi Alonso’s exciting Leverkusen side have scored at least once in nine of their last ten Bundesliga assignments and Bayer have the firepower to impact the scoresheet in the capital on Saturday. Union have rattled the net in 12 out of 15 home games in the top tier this season, however, and they rarely fail to make their mark in front of their own supporters. Both teams managed to register in three of the last four encounters between these clubs and more of the same is anticipated on Saturday.
