Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to bounce back immediately when they face Union Berlin in their first home game of the season. The BayArena outfit suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat to Elversberg, with their defensive shortcomings particularly evident in the first half. Despite the setback, Leverkusen have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions and boast a strong home record, averaging 2.50 points per game. Summer signing Christian Kofane is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against Elversberg, while defender Facundo Medina is also hoping to break into the starting XI.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, opened their campaign with a thrilling 3-3 draw, once again showing their attacking qualities while struggling to keep things tight at the back. The visitors have seen both teams score in nine of their last 10 matches, while their games have averaged 4.10 goals during that period. Union also conceded in every one of their last four away matches. Burke, Markgraf, Nsoki, and Ronnow remain in the treatment room, further limiting their options. Leverkusen have dominated the H2H, winning nine of the last 16 meetings.
Bayer have won 75% of their last 10 home matches and are the stronger side on paper. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Bayer Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Union's last 10 matches have averaged 4.10 goals, while Leverkusen are averaging 3.80).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 14:30.
