Union Berlin, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Union Berlin. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Eintracht Frankfurt who had 16 attempts and 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 13 games at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against 1899 Hoffenheim. In that game they recorded 68 % of the possession, with 34 attempts on goal, 11 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
Xabi Alonso will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 5 goals during those same matches. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 26 of their 27 games overall this season.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 8 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 27 games.
Nathan Tella will be hoping to create problems for Union Berlin in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Bayer Leverkusen.
The last time these two teams met Bayer Leverkusen enforced their superiority over Union Berlin with a comfortable 4-0 win.
Die Werkself have managed to keep a clean sheet against Union in each of their previous 3 meetings.
When playing away from home in the league, Leverkusen have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Union, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
