Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (30 November)

Was Union Berlin's good start to the season a flash in the pan? In any case, this is the observation that we could make regarding the locals who had started off with flying colors by obtaining some very good results with quite a bit of success. But the overdrive ultimately did not last very long for the Iron Men who have been seriously marking time for several weeks. Unable to achieve any success over the last 4 days, the Berliners were even beaten twice in 3 matches played against Bayern Munich 3-0, Friborg 0-0 and finally Wolfsburg 1-0 last week. Also, the Union now finds itself in 10th place in the ranking. Bayer Leverkusen launched the defense of its title last August but it already seems seriously compromised.

Although it has nothing to be ashamed of in its first part of the season, the 11th of the Factory has undoubtedly fallen too far behind the leader, Bayern Munich, which is already 9 steps ahead in the standings. In difficulty before the last international break, Xabi Alonso's players were held to a draw in the Bundesliga by Stuttgart 0-0 and by the red lantern Bochum 1-1 and they were humiliated by Liverpool 4-0 in the Champions League. But last week, the reigning champion finally returned to success by overthrowing Heidenheim 5-2 after being down by 2 goals. This week, Bayer was able to confirm its renewed form by crushing Salzburg 5-0 in the Champions League.

Finally in the group without coming into play last weekend, full-back Juranovic could return to the field this Saturday after missing the entire start of the season. On the other hand, the young goalkeeper Stein, his competitor for the position Schwolow, the left back Rothe and the striker Ilic must still be patient in the infirmary. New tile for the Iron Men with the premature exit due to injury of defense boss Diogo Leite. At the forefront, the center forward Hollerbach (2 goals) and the ex Rémois and Rennais Siebatcheu are in the balance to start with the task of revitalizing an offensive sector which has not scored for 3 matches. On the Bayer side, the former residents of Ligue 1, defenders Mukiélé (PSG) and Belocian (ex-Rennes) and striker Adli (ex-Toulouse) will certainly not be able to play this meeting.

In addition to this, the Nigerian Boniface (6 goals in the league) also had to turn on the blinker, he who is suffering from a serious physical problem in his thigh. In his absence, Czech striker Schick was able to showcase himself perfectly by scoring a hat-trick against Heidenheim. He also found the fault in C1 this week. The formidable pistons Grimaldo and Frimpong, the solid midfielders Xhaka and Andrich and the nugget Florian Wirtz (4 goals, 2 assists in the Bundesliga, 5 goals in C1), author of a double against Salzburg on Tuesday evening, will also be present.
