Bayer Leverkusen have taken 7 points from their last five; Union Berlin have taken 7 points from their last five. Form gives little away going into this Bundesliga tie.
The gap in chance quality is clear: Bayer Leverkusen come out at +0.6 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.5. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Bayer Leverkusen create chances worth 2.6 a game (and give up chances worth 1.9), leaving them +0.6 a game on the balance. Union Berlin create 1.4 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.5. The underlying numbers clearly favour Bayer Leverkusen. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Bayer Leverkusen are scoring 1.8 a game (1.8 of those at home) and Union Berlin manage 2.2 (2.2 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 50%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%).
Both teams score in 65% of Bayer Leverkusen's home games and 53% of Union Berlin's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Bayer Leverkusen are all-out attack: 1.8 goals a game, but they leak 1.6 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Union Berlin, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Union Berlin have goals in them (2.2 per game) but their record at the back (1.6 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end. The chance data suggests Bayer Leverkusen will create openings. The chances they create are worth 2.6 a game and Union Berlin give up chances worth 1.9 on the road. Expect Bayer Leverkusen to see plenty of the ball.
