Bayer Leverkusen hosts Union Berlin in round 5 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 21st at BayArena (Leverkusen)
As in the last season, Bayer approves itself well in the attack (however, the team has diminished in terms of scoring recently), but the main problem of the club is the defense. For the most part, it is precisely because of defense that the Red-Blacks cannot score points consistently. Regular mistakes in positional defense, inaccurate passes in simple situations, frequent failures in the pivot zone, uncoordinated actions in the penalty area (all these shortcomings are present in every match, despite the opponent’s level). Also, let's not forget that Bayer played an additional game with Lokomotiv in the Champions League, where it was defeated (it’s not enough that players have less time to recover and prepare for the upcoming round, but they are still not in the very fighting mood - the latest setbacks should affect). So, it will be difficult for Bayer in the upcoming game.

Union started quite well, given that it joined the elite division just in this season and the rivals were not the weakest clubs (RB Leipzig, Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund, and Werder). It is worth noting that the Berlin team scored in all matches except the first and has already sensationally defeated the BVB. In general, Urs Fischer’s men appear to be a rather bold and assertive team with good offensive potential. Union will meet Bayer, which is far from its best conditions. It may be difficult for Berliners to cling to points, but they will surely manage to create trouble for an opponent and score their goal.
When choosing a bet, I settled on the goal of Union for a rather good coefficient. Although Bayer will play at home with the support of its fans, it will not wean the team off all the problems in defense immediately. The visitors know how to make vertical passes and have good control over free zones, quickly breaking into them and making dangerous approaches to a foreign penalty area (Bayer gives opponents a lot of freedom). Therefore, the goal of Union Berlin looks quite logical.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin to score over 0.5 goals
