Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.88, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

At 4.50 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Union Berlin are well aware of it themselves.

The last Bundesliga match Bayer Leverkusen participated in was little more than one long stalemate. It seems that whatever advantage most predictions gave them against Werder Bremen were negated by the fact they played as visitors. Ultimately, they will be happy ot have secured a 0:0 draw.

Although Union Berlin’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 3:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents Wolfsburg, who spent the entire match ahead.

Leverkusen leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at BayArena. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Union Berlin have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Bundesliga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

With a loss to Union Berlin on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Bundesliga match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

With limited means at their disposal, both teams will have to make do with shortened rosters. We’re referring to the fact both teams suffered strings of injuries, rendering a good chunk of both squads unavailable for this match. Daley Sinkgraven, Lars Bender, Julian Baumgartlinger, Lucas Alario, Santiago Arias, Timothy Fosu-Mensah will not be playing for the hosts, while Jakob Busk, Florian Hübner, Grischa Prömel, Anthony Ujah, Sheraldo Becker, Cedric Teuchert, Taiwo Awoniyi, Leon Dajaku will be missing on the visiting side.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.85 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 10Bet.
