Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Berlin

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have lost just one of their 12 Bundesliga meetings with 1. FC Union Berlin (W7 D4) – a 0-1 away defeat in January 2021. Leverkusen are unbeaten in all six of their home Bundesliga matches against Union (W3 D3), conceding only three goals in those games; only against MSV Duisburg (eight) have they played more home games in the competition without ever losing.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won two of their last three Bundesliga matches (W2 D1) – as many victories as in their previous nine Bundesliga matches combined (W2 D5 L2). The Werkself are also unbeaten in each of their last four Bundesliga matches (W2 D2), with only Borussia Dortmund (13 games) and FC Bayern München (14) currently on a longer such run in the competition.

1. FC Union Berlin have lost only three of their last 15 Bundesliga matches (W6 D6 L3), the same as their upcoming opponent Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Since the start of MD25 last season, only FC Bayern München (one) and Borussia Dortmund (two) have fewer Bundesliga defeats than these two sides (not including promoted teams).

Union Berlin have lost just two of their last nine Bundesliga away games (W5 D2), having previously suffered six consecutive away defeats in the competition. However, they have not recorded back-to-back away wins since March, despite celebrating a 4-3 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in their last away game.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have taken the lead in all five of their Bundesliga matches this season, as have Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, but the Werkself have dropped the most points from winning positions in the league (seven). Their upcoming opponents, 1. FC Union Berlin, have only trailed in two Bundesliga matches and failed to gain any points from those losing positions.
