We have an exciting finish to the title race in the German Bundesliga and on the weekend, we have a meeting between Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen.
The game will be played at Stadion An der Alten Försterei on the 29th of April and the hosts are currently in 3rd place on 55 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 47 points.
Union Berlin come into the match having beat Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 away from home in the Bundesliga last weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 60th minute and the win saw the gap between Union Berlin and second place Bayern Munich close to 4 points.
The win at Borussia Monchengladbach was the first in 4 games for Union Berlin. Having lost 2-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal, Union Berlin went down 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga followed by dropped points in a 1-1 draw at home with Bochum in the league.
Home form in the Bundesliga shows Union Berlin are difficult to beat and they are undefeated in their 20 most recent home league fixtures.
However, they have won only 2 of their last 5 home Bundesliga games, with the other 3 matches ending in a draw. Trends show Union Berlin have kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 9 home Bundesliga matches.
Bayer Leverkusen travel to the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on the back of a good 2-0 home win over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen opened the scoring shortly before half-time and with RB Leipzig going down to ten men, Bayer Leverkusen added a second goal in the closing stages of the match.
The win over RB Leipzig means Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their 13 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They have won 9 of their last 11 matches in all competitions, with the wins coming in both the Bundesliga and the Europa League.
Form in the Bundesliga shows Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their last 8 games and they have won 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches.
Away form shows Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their 5 most recent league games on the road and have scored three goals in 3 of their last 5 away Bundesliga matches.
Looking ahead to the teams news and Union Berlin are without suspended forward Kevin Behrens, which is a blow. Jerome Roussillon and András Schäfer are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Janik Haberer.
Bayer Leverkusen travel without the injured quartet of Edmond Tapsoba, Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunev, and Charles Aranguiz. They also have doubts over the fitness of Florian Wirtz and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
This should be a great game to watch and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. Union Berlin have a strong home record and are still in the title race but Bayer Leverkusen are in excellent form and pushing for the top four.
This game could see an end to Union Berlin’s unbeaten home record as Bayer Leverkusen take maximum points.
