Bayer Leverkusen will host Union Berlin at the BayArena on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have recorded a largely positive start to life under new boss Kasper Hjulmand, going undefeated in their five games under the Dane and now climbed up to sixth place in the table with eight points.
They beat St. Pauli 2-1 away from home in their last league outing, featuring goals from Edmond Tapsoba and summer arrival Ernest Poku, before playing out a 1-1 draw with Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of a mid-table finish. They played out a goalless draw against newly-promoted Hamburg in their last match and perhaps deserved more from the game, but failed to convert their chances, including a misplaced penalty kick from Andrej Ilic in the first half.
Trending
The visitors sit 11th in the Bundesliga standings but are just one point behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
