Bayer 04 vs Union Berlin: prediction & betting odds 12 Apr 2025

The Matchday 29 clash in the Bundesliga between Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin will take place on April 12 at the BayArena in Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen vs. Union Berlin: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Bayer Leverkusen

In the previous round, Leverkusen secured a 1-0 away victory against Heidenheim, marking their 18th win in the current championship. Additionally, Xabi Alonso's side managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in their last five Bundesliga encounters. Overall, the team has achieved seven clean sheets this season, but they won't be able to match last season's record of 16 shutouts. In the main standings, the club remains six points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.

  • Leverkusen has won 5 of their last 6 matches in the championship.
  • The team has scored at least two goals in 17 of their last 21 home Bundesliga matches.
  • Bayer has conceded at home in 7 of their last 9 encounters in this tournament.

Predicted lineup for Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-3)

Lukáš Hrádecký – Piero Hincapié, Jonathan Tah, Jeremie Frimpong – Nathan Tella, Granit Xhaka, Aleix García, Alejandro Grimaldo – Victor Boniface, Amine Adli, Robert Andrich.

Defender Mario Hermoso is sidelined due to injury.

Union Berlin

In the last round, Union Berlin secured a 1-0 home victory against Wolfsburg. Steffen Baumgart's team is unbeaten in four championship matches (3 wins, 1 draw), marking their longest unbeaten streak in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. Additionally, Union kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last seven encounters in this tournament. Overall, the club has conceded 40 goals, a figure bettered by only six teams. In the main standings, Union is in 13th place, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

  • Union has not conceded more than one goal in their last 5 championship matches.
  • At least three goals have been scored in each of the last five away matches in the Bundesliga.
  • In 6 of their last 7 away games in this tournament, Union conceded first.

Predicted lineup for Union Berlin (4-4-2)

Frederik Rønnow – Leopold Querfeld, Danilho Doekhi, Diogo Leite, Christopher Trimmel – Josip Juranović, András Schäfer, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer – Andrej Ilić, Benedict Hollerbach.

Match Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Union Berlin

Leverkusen's defensive performance this season is far from their previous standards. Xabi Alonso's team has conceded in 21 matches in the current championship. In the last round, they managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in five Bundesliga matches, but it was not without luck. Heidenheim posed numerous threats to Bayer's goal, hit the crossbar, and recorded an xG that suggested they deserved a goal. Even at home, Leverkusen failed to keep their goal unbreached in 7 of their last 9 encounters in this tournament.

Union Berlin, on the other hand, is likely buoyed by their recent performances. Steffen Baumgart's team defeated Eintracht and Freiburg, both contenders for European competition, and even managed to draw with Bayern Munich. This success was aided by their newfound attacking prowess: Union scored six goals in their last four Bundesliga matches. I believe the visitors are capable of finding the net against Bayer, who are currently not very reliable in defense.
