The starting lineup for each team from their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Union

In Matchday 11, Bo Svensson's side suffered a 0-1 defeat to Wolfsburg. This loss extended Berlin's winless streak to four matches in the Bundesliga (2 draws, 2 losses). In the standings, Union's position has significantly worsened, falling out of the European competition zone and dropping to 10th place after the last round.

• No more than three goals have been scored in Union's last 12 Bundesliga matches.
• At least one team failed to score in 5 of Union's last 7 Bundesliga games.
• The club is unbeaten in their last 6 home matches in this tournament (4 wins, 2 draws).

Bayer

The Leverkusen club defeated Heidenheim 5-2 in the last round. This victory allowed Xabi Alonso's side to end a three-match draw streak in the league. As of Matchday 12, the team is in 4th place, but the gap from the top spot is already 9 points.

• Bayer has scored at least twice in 5 of their last 7 away Bundesliga matches.
• The team scored first in their last 7 away league games.
• At least four goals have been scored in 5 of Bayer's last 7 away matches in this tournament.

Union vs. Bayer: Match Prediction

At home, Bo Svensson's side prefers to play open football. Both teams scored in 6 of Union's last 8 home league matches.

Xabi Alonso's side continues to adopt an attacking style – they score and allow opponents to score. Both teams scored in 11 of Bayer's last 12 Bundesliga matches. In away games, the reigning champion also sticks to open play. As a result, there has been a goal exchange in all of the club's away matches in the current campaign.

I believe Union will find the net, but containing Bayer's formidable attack will be challenging. Therefore, my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
