Leverkusen vs Union Prediction 4 October 2025
🔊 In the 6th round at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Bayer are set to host Union Berlin. The hosts are in decent form, having gone unbeaten in their last 6 matches, though half of those ended in draws, including two at home. Union have been less consistent, but they've managed to avoid defeat in their last two outings. However, the Berlin side haven't beaten Leverkusen in their last 9 encounters. Will the tenth attempt be their breakthrough?
Head-to-Head
📊 In their last 14 head-to-head encounters, Bayer have emerged victorious 8 times, while Union have managed just one win, with 5 matches ending in a draw. Berlin's winless streak against the "pharmacists" now stretches to 9 matches. The last time Union defeated Leverkusen was in 2021. Last season, Baumgart's side lost 1-2 at home and played out a 0-0 draw at the BayArena.
Head-to-head statistics Leverkusen - Union
Bayer Leverkusen Team Overview
🔴 Kasper Hjulmand is settling in confidently as the head coach of the "Pharmacists." His team is on a six-match unbeaten streak, although their last two home games ended in draws. First, in the fourth round against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1), Leverkusen conceded in the final minutes. Then in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven (1-1), where they again took the lead but couldn't hold on. However, they did secure a Bundesliga victory in the fifth round in Hamburg against St. Pauli (2-1), thanks to goals from Edmond Tapsoba and Ernest Poku. Bayer currently sits in sixth place with eight points and a goal difference of +2 (8:6). The team urgently needs to improve their home results if they aim to contend for a top-four Bundesliga finish and advance to the Champions League playoffs.

Union Team Overview
⚪ "Iron Union," following their impressive 4-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the fourth round, failed to secure a win at home against Hamburg, with the match ending in a goalless draw. The pivotal moment came when Andrey Ilich missed a penalty in the 10th minute. Berliners had few chances thereafter, and they were fortunate not to concede, as the Bundesliga newcomers were closer to scoring. After five rounds, Union have accumulated 7 points and sit in 11th place. They might extend their unbeaten streak to three matches and claim a second away victory, but it will be a tough challenge: the team has already conceded six goals in two away games.

Latest news
Bayer Leverkusen
🎙 Kasper Hjulmand shared his thoughts after the draw with PSV: "The guys fought hard today, but it's another draw. We lacked that final touch in attack to secure the win."
❌ Bayer's scoring struggles are compounded by issues in their attacking lineup: Patrik Schick is sidelined with a muscle injury, Alex Sarco is with the Argentina squad at the U20 World Cup, and Martin Terrier has been out for a while due to injury. Exequiel Palacios has missed four matches because of a groin injury. Robert Andrich, Lucas Vasquez, Nathan Tella, and Axel Tuanzebe are also doubtful.
Union
🎙 Steffen Baumgart's perspective ahead of the game: "We want to demonstrate in Leverkusen that we've addressed the issues from our match against Hamburg during training. We're heading there with a clear mindset and aim to deliver a strong performance. Despite the changes, Bayer possess immense individual quality and as a team, they are becoming increasingly stable. It's crucial for us to focus on ourselves and leverage our strengths to achieve success."
❌ Union will have to manage without Levon Burju, Andrik Markgraf, and Robert Skov.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Christian Dingert. Over his last 10 matches, he has issued 38 yellow cards, averaging 3.8 per game. In his last four outings, he has shown at least 5 yellow cards each time. Bayer averages 2 warnings per match, while Union averages 1.8. The historical average of yellow cards in matches between these teams is 3.14. Therefore, a reasonable bet is under 3.5 yellow cards, which has been successful in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In their last 7 matches, Bayer have both scored and conceded. Union kept a clean sheet for the first time in the last round, and that was at home against a league newcomer. Considering how challenging it is for Union to score in Leverkusen, we predict Union's individual total to be under 1.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In 5 rounds, Bayer have earned 21 corners (an average of 4.2 per match), while Union have earned 26 (an average of 5.2). However, Baumgart's team tends to win fewer corners on the road, preferring a more defensive approach. Hence, the bet is Union's individual total under 4.5 corners, which has been successful in 6 of their last 7 away matches.
Editorial Prediction
We doubt Bayer will end their unbeaten streak in this match, and we don't see Union finally winning in Leverkusen either. Despite significant lineup issues for the hosts, even without Patrik Schick and several others, they still appear more convincing. For us, Bayer remain the favorites in this clash. We predict a total of fewer than 3 goals, with a potential victory for the hosts at 2-0.
