View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?

During this period, Leverkusen averaged 2.2 goals scored and 1.4 conceded, while Union scored as many as 3.2 goals per game and conceded 1.6. Their attacking potential is confirmed by the average xG figures: 1.57 for the hosts and 1.97 for the visitors, while the two defenses allowed 1.10 and 1.42 xG, respectively. Bayer’s seasonal home data shows BTTS in 100% of matches and not a single clean sheet, further increasing the chances of Union finding the net. Although the visitors’ limited seasonal data is incomplete, their last-five-match run provides a stronger signal for a scenario in which both teams score at least once.
