Leverkusen vs. Union Berlin: Preview and betting tips

Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin face each other in the 18th round of the German Bundesliga. Czech international Patrik Schick is a regular goal scorer for the home side, while the visiting Union will be remembered by fans of Slavia, whom they played in the Conference League.

Bayer Leverkusen, the fourth team in the Bundesliga, will welcome Union Berlin, who are seventh in the league. However, with only one point separating the two teams, expect a tense match that could shake up the German league standings.

Bayer Leverkusen have not been in the best of form at the end of 2021. The performances were very erratic. They have earned only one point from their last three matches. However, they had won the previous three matches without any problem.

Czech fans will certainly be interested to see in what frame of mind the cannonballer Patrik Schick will start. The striker has managed to score 8 goals in his last five games for Leverkusen and has moved into second place in the scorers’ table. He has scored a total of 16 goals in the league so far. He will definitely want to build on his fantastic goalscoring performances.

Union Berlin are also in interesting form. The last five games have been like this – a loss, a win, a loss, a draw and a loss. For example, they managed to beat RB Leipzig, but then lost against newcomer Fürth.

Both teams will therefore go into the game in less than dazzling form. Nevertheless, the home team is the bigger favourite. However, the visitors will not come for a defeat just like that and will fight, after all, they are only a point behind their opponent.

Union Berlin have scored and conceded only 4 goals in their last five matches. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have scored 15 goals and conceded 9 in their last five games.

Leverkusen has a great attack but regularly gets a high number of goals, while Berlin doesn’t score many goals either. Still, we expect a higher number of goals to fall again in this match and both teams could push through.

The home team is planning to score full points after three unsuccessful matches. The away team will fight back, but it won’t work for a team that Patrik Schick plays for.
