Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Bayer Leverkusen as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Union Berlin winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

While Union Berlin may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.45 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Bayer Leverkusen want to forget their previous Bundesliga match. Playing away from home they conceded early in the first half and never recovered. As a result, the RB Leipzig away defeat is definitely something they want to put behind them as soon as possible.

Union Berlin won their previous Bundesliga outing 2:1, which was quite a spectacle for the fans at their home stadium. Betting against them was considered fairly safe at kick-off, and their opponents Borussia M'gladbach secured an early lead. In spite of it all, Union Berlin managed to overtake the opposition in the second half and walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

Leverkusen’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 9 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Union Berlin recorded 6 goals in all 3 of their latest home games. While they don’t have the home-field advantage in this match, an action-packed match seems very likely.

A clash between these two teams last season ended in a stalemate. Overall, this was worse news for Bayer Leverkusen, who are widely considered the stronger team.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Charles Aránguiz, F. Wirtz, Sardar Azmoun are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Team from Leverkusen’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.96 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
