Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin predictions and free betting tips [12/11/2023]

Good day, dear friends! Today, Bundesliga matches will be held, promising exciting moments and outcomes. I want to discuss with you the game of the 11th round between Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin. The match will take place at the BayArena and will begin at 15:30 GMT. Let's examine the current form of both teams and make a decision on which bet could potentially increase our bankroll. Let's get started!

Possible Lineups

Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky; Kosunu, Tah, Hincapi; Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Hofmann, Wirtz; Bonaface.
Union Berlin: Ronnow; Bonucci, Knoche, Leite; Juranovic, Laidouni, Dehl, Haberer, Gosens; Becker, Fofana.

Bayer Leverkusen

At present, Bayer Leverkusen are sitting 2nd in the Bundesliga, having accrued 28 points. Their goal difference consists of 30 goals for and 10 against. Bayer picked up their 11th win in a row across all competitions last Thursday, with a narrow victory over Qarabag in Azerbaijan, which guaranteed their place in the last 16 of the Europa League as Group H winners. They triumphed by a one-goal margin against Hoffenheim last weekend. Despite Bayer's excellent form of late, they've started to concede more goals. The team will have to play without Arturo and Patrik Schick due to muscular injuries, while Edmond Tapsoba remains a doubt because of a hand injury.

Union Berlin

Union Berlin ended their 12-match losing run across all competitions this Wednesday, earning a draw against Napoli in the Champions League (1:1). However, they have been unable to score a single goal in their last 4 Bundesliga matches. They currently occupy the 17th position in the Bundesliga standings, with a tally of 6 points. Out of 10 matches, they've only won 2, while losing 8. Their goal difference stands at 11 for and 22 against. They suffered a defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last Bundesliga match, conceding 3 unanswered goals. Due to injuries, Schafer and Duki are unable to play today. Khedira is also serving a suspension.]

Head-to-Head

In the last 5 encounters between these sides, 4 matches have ended in a draw while Bayer Leverkusen emerged victorious once. In their most recent meeting, which took place on the 29th of April this year, the teams drew without either side finding the net.

Prediction

Well, let's summarise our analysis. It's quite clear here. Bayer Leverkusen are in excellent form and should easily surpass a rather weak Union Berlin side. I'll place a bet on the hosts winning the first half. I would also bet on over 2.5 total goals.
