Bayer Leverkusen 4/5 to beat Union Berlin in Saturday’s Bundesliga battle

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Bayer Leverkusen win

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on their recent purple patch on home soil, Bayer Leverkusen will host away day strugglers Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been an eye-catching run of form on home soil, Bayer Leverkusen still find themselves sat in pole position to secure a European finish. In their 32 Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded 14 wins, nine draws and nine defeats, scoring 51 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 51, they sit sixth in the table and holding a five-point buffer from dropping out of the top-six. As for their recent run of results, Bayer Leverkusen have lost just one of their last six Bundesliga contests, with that sole defeat coming against Bayern Munich. It should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have won each of their last three top-flight contests on home soil, scoring over 1.5 goals in each of those victories.

As for the visitors, slumping back to losing ways last time out, Union Berlin have gained a reputation for their continued issues on the road. In their 32 Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, 13 draws and eight defeats, scoring 47 and conceding 41 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 46, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the table and holding a four-point buffer from dropping out of the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-0 defeat away at Wolfsburg, Union Berlin have won just a pair of their last seven Bundesliga contests. More worrying, it should also be noted that Saturday’s guests have collected just a pair of points from their last five matchups on the road. Also winning just one of their last nine matchups on their travels, we’re backing a home victory this weekend.
