Prediction published on 06/04/2024, 00:56  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Bayer Leverkusen will look to take another major step towards the Bundesliga title as they travel to face Union Berlin. This Bundesliga matchday 28 at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday will see the hosts start 12th with 29 points, while the visitors are top with 73 points. Union are coming off a 0-0 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, which made it four points from their last two league games. The hosts are nine points off the bottom three, and there’s no imminent danger of relegation, barring any major collapse. Union have shown themselves to be a tough team to beat in recent times, avoiding defeat in six of their last eight league games. In fact, they are likely to fancy their chances of an upset here, going by their recent form. Union have won four and drawn one of their last six home league games, with only a 2-0 defeat to Dortmund being an exception.

Leverkusen start this round with a 13-point gap over Bayern Munich, which is looking good enough to land them the title. They are coming off a 4-0 win in the DFB Pokal, making it their fifth win in all competitions. Interestingly, their focus could be split, as an upcoming Europa League match against West Ham may be part of their agenda. That said, they haven’t lost a match in the season in any competition and wouldn’t want to lose momentum ahead of the business end. What could work in their favour is Leverkusen’s impressive scoring record, especially on the road. They have scored 12 goals in their last five away league games, netting at least two goals each time.
