Union Berlin will face Bayer Leverkusen in week 30 of the 2022/2023 German League which can be watched via live streaming on ESPN on Saturday, April 29, 2023, ET.
Union Berlin are in third place with 55 points, six behind Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table with five games remaining. They managed to bounce back from a temporary slump and picked up their first win in their last four competitive matches by beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0.
Die Eisernen return to their turf here looking to maintain one of their two remaining unbeaten home records this German Bundesliga season while retaining their place in the division’s top three.
The gap between Die Eisernen and Freiburg in fourth is just two points at the end of the last round, so picking up another win here could be important for their Champions League aspirations. Revenge will also be an added motivation, as opponents Bayer Leverkusen handed Union their heaviest defeat of the season (5-0) last November. However the home team might be able to relieve themselves a bit as it was their only loss from the last five H2H Bundesliga matches.
As of the 2022/2023 season, Union Berlin is led by Sheraldo Becker and Kevin Behrens. Becker was the team’s top scorer with nine goals, four of which were opening goals. No less impressive, Behrens has scored seven goals.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen are eight points behind their opponents but still on track to qualify for European competition next season. They finished the last round in sixth place with 47 points, six behind fourth-placed Freiburg in the Champions League with five games remaining.
Leverkusen also have an impressive eight-match unbeaten run in the league – only Mainz have matched an unbeaten run over such a long period. That unbeaten run extended to 13 matches in all competitions, highlighting why manager Xabi Alonso is fast becoming one of the most exciting young managers in Europe.
This game will test Leverkusen’s toughness, especially since they are winless in four away matches against teams currently above them in the Bundesliga standings. Die Werkself’s struggles in those matches is demonstrated by the fact they scored just one goal in total in four matches and trailed at half-time in each game.
Visiting Leverkusen have to thank Moussa Diaby and Jeremie Frimpong, who have scored nine and eight goals respectively. Diaby became the star of Die Werkself by scoring twice in the 5-0 win over Union Berlin in the previous encounter.
