Team News

Union Berlin
Leverkusen
  • András Schäfer is available after suspension, so barring late injures head coach Nenad Bjelica has a full-strength squad to choose from.
  • Striker Victor Boniface is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while Exequiel Palacios is also close to return from a thigh injury that forced him out of international duty with Argentina. Arthur is nearing a return after recovering from a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • All-conquering Leverkusen, unbeaten in an astonishing 40 games in all comps, have moved THIRTEEN points clear of nearest challengers Bayern and are cruising to their first-ever league title.
  • Leverkusen have dropped zero points after taking the lead, while Union have only missed out on five points, the second fewest behind the runaway leaders.
  • The capital city side should not be underestimated on home soil, despite sitting six places off the bottom after featuring in the Champions League group stages earlier this season.
  • Leverkusen won the reverse fixture 4-0, but this will not be a walk in the park for Xabi Alonso's side, especially after added DFB Pokal exertions in midweek as well.
