Match Preview

Union Berlin will take on Bayer Leverkusen in a Bundesliga fixture at Stadion An der Alten Försterei on February 21, 2026 GMT.

In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen has been in good form, securing 3 wins in their previous 6 league outings.

Looking at their past encounters, Union Berlin has struggled against Bayer Leverkusen, losing 67% of their last 6 head-to-head matches.

Considering the statistical data and the head-to-head history, the upcoming clash between Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen is expected to be a challenging battle, with the model prediction favoring Bayer Leverkusen to clinch a 1-2 victory.
