Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormWith RB Leipzig sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Bayer Leverkusen won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 away defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, RB Leipzig managed 10 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Xabi Alonso will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They are showing great consistency at BayArena in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 10 of their 12 league games.
It has not been their best home spell of late at BayArena, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bayer Leverkusen, Jeremie Frimpong will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Union Berlin, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-1 home win against Mönchengladbach in their latest league match, Union Berlin will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Mönchengladbach who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Urs Fischer will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Sheraldo Becker will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Union Berlin's 12 league games this season.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Die Eisernen will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Leverkusen, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
The last 3 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Union will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 3 games.
Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Charles Aránguiz (Calf), Sardar Azmoun (Calf) and Florian Wirtz (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19) and Kevin Möhwald (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Urs Fischer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
