Premium Tips
Andy is with Leverkusen, whose quality should tell after a surprise defeat.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Bayer Leverkusen to win and both teams to score | 8/5 | Leverkusen own this fixture, winning four of the last six meetings, and they are at home in the BayArena where their quality should tell against Union. The both-teams angle is backed by how both sides opened the season: Leverkusen lost 3-2 and Union drew 3-3, so each shipped three goals in their first game, pointing to open, leaky defences on both ends. |
| Over 3.5 goals and Malik Tillman to score anytime | 15/4 | Both defences have started porously, with Leverkusen and Union each conceding three in their opening fixtures, which underpins the case for a high-scoring game between two sides happy to attack. Tillman is a strong scorer angle: an attacking midfielder with six goals from 35 shots and 13 on target in the sample, plus eight big chances created, a genuine goal threat at home against a Union defence already leaking. |

Leverkusen were shocked 3-2 at Elversberg on the opening weekend, a poor start for the fancied side. The BayArena will demand an immediate response.
Leverkusen have the quality to challenge near the top and should bounce back hard at home. A convincing win is the aim.
How Union Berlin go into the game
Union Berlin drew a wild 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt on the opening weekend, an entertaining if leaky display. They travel to Leverkusen as clear underdogs.
Physical and awkward, Union will look to frustrate Leverkusen, but the BayArena is a demanding trip.
