Bayer Leverkusen aims to stay top of the Bundesliga when they play host to struggling Union Berlin on Sunday. Going into this match, Leverkusen are top of the standings while Union Berlin are 16th. By the time Leverkusen take to the pitch, they might have dropped to second owing to Bayern Munich playing earlier. The opposition they face, however, should not threaten Leverkusen’s place at the summit. Leverkusen are still unbeaten in all competitions this season. The only time they failed to win a game this season was in the 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich. Ahead of this game, they won 1-0 away to Qarabag, their 11th straight win. They have 15 wins in 16 matches and have scored at least two goals in 15 of the 16 games. Their win over Qarabag was however their first clean sheet in six matches. In 10 matches they have three clean sheets but have clean sheets in the last two meetings with Union Berlin.

Union Berlin are taking part in the Champions League for the first time ever and it is taking a toll on them. The visitors have failed to win any of their last 13 matches and are hanging dangerously above the automatic relegation spots. Only goal difference is keeping them out of the automatic relegation spot, having garnered six points from 10 games. An unlikely win here could however nudge them two spots up. Union should take inspiration from their fightback to draw 1-1 with Napoli in their last outing, in the Champions League. David Fofana’s equalizer was the first time in six matches that Union Berlin scored. While they have defensive issues to deal with, Union Berlin will also want to better their attack. They’ve failed to score in the last two meetings with Bayer Leverkusen.
