Bayer Leverkusen Team Overview
🔴 Bayer Leverkusen trail Bayern Munich by 6 points with 6 rounds remaining. The chances are there, and Leverkusen are hanging in. In the last round, they even tapped into some of last season's magic. The game wasn't going in Xabi Alonso's side's favor, as Heidenheim created more chances and played better. However, Emiliano Buendia came off the bench and scored his debut goal for Bayer in stoppage time, securing all 3 points for the team.
🔗 Bayer's last 3 home victories have all ended with a 3-1 scoreline. They defeated Bochum, Hoffenheim, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
❌ Wirtz (attacking midfielder), Belocian (center-back), Hermoso (center-back), and Terrier (left winger) have been sidelined with long-term injuries. Additionally, central midfielder Palacios will miss out due to injury.

Union Team Overview
⚪ The Berlin side have finally found their rhythm under Steffen Baumgart's guidance. They are on a four-game unbeaten streak, having faced strong opponents like Bayern, Eintracht, Freiburg, and Wolfsburg. Union have pulled 11 points clear of the relegation playoff zone. With six matches remaining, it's unlikely that the strugglers will make up that gap.
