Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
There will be fireworks when Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen square off against each other at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the opening match of the season. Last time out the capital club defeated Bayer at the venue, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. Summer signing Max Kruse, who scored the winner in the DFB Pokal triumph over Turkgucu Munchen, will be the man to watch in the home team.
The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in the German Cup opener against Lokomotive Leipzig. However, away win should not be considered as Karim Bellarabi suffered an injury in the DFB Pokal opener. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw.
