Overview

• Union Berlin has never won against Bayer Leverkusen, with their last five Bundesliga away encounters resulting in draws or losses.
• Coach Steffen Baumgart is prioritizing a return to Union's classic, combative playing style to build on recent strong performances.
• The team is riding a wave of momentum with ten points from their last four games, including wins over Eintracht Frankfurt and SC Freiburg, and a draw with Bayern München.
• Union Berlin is aiming for a historic milestone: their first-ever Bundesliga away hat trick if they secure a win in Leverkusen.
• Striker André Ilic, recently sidelined by a knee injury, has returned to training and may play a role in the upcoming match.
