Prediction: 1-1
Union Berlin
Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin face each other at BayArena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Bayer Leverkusen were having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, but despite their poor form in December, they sit in the Champions League berth ahead of the visit of Union Berlin. All Fosu-Mensah, Palacios, Aranguiz, Solanilla, and Baumgartlinger are sidelined with injuries, but head coach Gerardo Seoane can count on talented attacker Moussa Diaby, who returns from suspension.
The capital club, on the other hand, did well to beat Bochum in their last game of 2021, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the BayArena showdown. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. All Wszolek, Khedira, and Busk miss out through illness for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Kerem Demirbay):
Kerem Demirbay is a product of Schalke 04 football academy. After playing for die Knappen from 1999 to 2007 he joined Borussia Dortmund and it has to be noted that he played for Wattenscheid during his youth career as well. The German footballer of Turkish descent made 28 appearances for Borussia Dortmund II before joining Hamburger SV senior team in 2013.
However, you should know that he played no more than three games in Bundesliga for die Rothosen. Kerem Demirbay played for Kaiserslautern and Fortuna Dusseldorf on loan from 2014 to 2016 and he moved to Hoffenheim in the summer of 2016. Kerem Demirbay scored six goals, while providing ten assists for his teammates in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign.
Demirbay, who was born in Herten, Germany on July 3, 1993 is an attacking midfielder, but he is used as both central and right midfielder as well. The Hoffenheim ace played international youth football for Turkey, but he decided to represent Germany at senior level. Kerem Demirbay made his debut for Germany in a friendly against Denmark on June 6, 2017.
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
