Bayer Leverkusen take on the visitors Union Berlin at “BayArena” on the 1/16 final stage of the DFB Pokal. The game will be played in Leverkusen on Tuesday, October 24th.
Bayer Leverkusen go through the second unsuccessful season in a row in the German Bundesliga: the side sits in the bottom part of the table being closer rather to the relegation zone than to the Eurocups zone. “Die Werkself” have entered the DFB Pokal with 3:0 triumph over Karlsruher on the 1/32 stage of the tournament. Concerning the club’s results in face of its supporters, despite all the problems, Bayer Leverkusen have not been beaten across five home matches, having got two victories and three draws in them.

In their turn, Union Berlin come up to the DFB Pokal battle in great competitive form, having gained four consecutive wins with 12:2 aggregated score. Last weekend the Berliners broke Greuther Furth 3:1 at the home pitch. With 11 gameweeks behind, “Eiserne” occupy the third position in the 2. Bundesliga standings with 21 points earned and 23-13 goal difference. Union Berlin won their first clash within the DFB Pokal against Saarbrucken with 2:1 scoreline. This season the Berliners conducted seven encounters on the road resulting in three triumphs, two draws and two defeats.
Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin met only once in their history in 2003 and “Die Werkself” succeeded in that head-to-head with 5:0 scoreline. That result will not happen in the upcoming fight for sure as currently “Die Werkself” are not in their best form while the 2. Bundesliga representative has taken the great pace. It is going to be an equal clash with not many goals scored in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 scored goals.
