Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (6 April)

Having been in difficulty for a long time this season, Union Berlin feared, for a few weeks, for its place in the Bundesliga. Finally, the capital club seems to have done the hardest part in the race to maintain itself since it has a nice lead of 9 units over the jump-off. 12th in the standings, he could even enter the top 10 at the end of the season, despite two defeats against Dortmund 0-2 and Stuttgart 2-0 at the start of last month. Since then, the Iron Men have found some color by winning against Werder Bremen 2-1 and holding off Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0. Where will Bayer Leverkusen stop? Qualified for the quarter-finals of the Europa League where they will challenge West Ham next week, the Bundesliga leader is heading towards the title of German champion since they now have a pharaonic lead of 13 points over their first pursuer, Bayern Munich, before the last 8 days.

Uncompromising in the league, Xabi Alonso's men have won 12 of their last 13 matches in the Bundesliga, including the last 8. Recently, it was Wolfsburg 2-0 and Freiburg 2-3 who were victims of their incredible success. Finally, last Saturday, the Usine 11 once again showed character by overthrowing, at the very end of the match, Hoffenheim while they were still trailing in the 88th minute of play. This week, Bayer faced Fortuna Düsseldorf in the semi-final of the German Cup and he did not miss a beat to secure a place in the final 4-0.

On the Union side, midfielder Haberer and replacement goalkeeper Busk will not be operational to challenge the best team in Germany. They were joined in the infirmary by former Montpellier full-back Roussillon who also had to give up. On the other hand, Hungarian striker Schäfer is available again after being suspended in his team's last two matches. Left back Gosens remains the most decisive player in this formation with 6 goals on the clock.

He is ahead, in particular, of the young attacker Hollerbach (3 goals). Overall, this team is struggling in the offensive sector with only 25 goals scored this season. Only Cologne and Mainz, two relegated players, are doing less well.
