Recent H2H results: Leverkusen undefeated in last 10 matches against Union Berlin

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Bayer Leverkusen.
Union Berlin likely to employ defensive 3-4-2-1 formation to absorb pressure and exploit counter-attacking opportunities. Leverkusen expected to dominate possession and create width through fullbacks. Missing players (Union: Leite, Rothe, Juranovic, Skov; Leverkusen: Flekken, Tella, Ben Seghir) may impact squad depth and tactical flexibility.
Leverkusen's superior league position, undefeated head-to-head streak, stronger attacking metrics, and better current form significantly favor away victory. Union Berlin's recent poor form and defensive fragility in opening phases compound disadvantages. Home ground provides minor mitigation factor.
