Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Bayer Leverkusen. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Team from Leverkusen and the 9.02 odds given to Union Berlin to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Bayer Leverkusen entered their previous league bout as the favourites but failed to gain the upper hand for more than half the match. They were playing away, though, and managed to finally pull ahead later in the game, ultimately recording a narrow but satisfying 0:1 victory.

Union Berlin went into their previous match against Wolfsburg with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 1:0 home win.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 Bundesliga matches, Leverkusen’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

Union Berlin are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The last time these two teams met Team from Leverkusen managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 5.35 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
