General match analysis
Union Berlin remain unbeaten in their last five matches, recording 3 wins and 2 draws, while Bayer Leverkusen have won 3 times but also suffered 2 defeats. The visitors have been marginally more effective during this period, scoring 16 goals compared with Leverkusen’s 11, while their average points return stands at 2.2 versus 1.8 for the hosts. Bayer do, however, have home advantage and have lost just one match this season, going down 2:3, whereas Union drew their only previous fixture 3:3. Both teams concede a considerable number of goals — 7 and 8 respectively in their last five matches — so a high-scoring draw appears to be the most likely outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The latest form clearly favors goals from both teams: BTTS occurred in 80% of Bayer Leverkusen’s and Union Berlin’s last 5 matches, compared with a league average of 56%. 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.
