Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen face each other at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga game. Union Berlin are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but Saturday’s match will be anything but a walk in the park for the capital club. The good news for the hosts is that defender Paul Jaeckel is back from suspension, whereas all Jerome Roussillon, Janik Haberer, and Andras Schafer remain in the recovery room. Forward Kevin Behrens, though, is banned for the match.
The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Leipzig, but beating Union Berlin in the German capital is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Nadiem Amiri misses out through suspension, while all Shick, Hudson-Odoi, Tapsoba, Aranguiz, and Palacios are sidelined with injuries.
