Best Tip: Leverkusen to win

There looks like a strong favourite for this match, and it's Leverkusen. Their recent form statistics show their ability in front of their own fans, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they've got a track record against Union Berlin too. The odds point towards Carles Martínez Novell's side claiming victory in the win / draw / win market, and that's what we're predicting for Saturday afternoon too.
