It's still early in the Bundesliga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Bayer Leverkusen - Union Berlin preview!

The hosts Bayer Leverkusen saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Champions League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Lokomotiv Moskva, was also a home game here at BayArena. The away team is better rested.

Bayer Leverkusen form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bayer Leverkusen's two home games in the Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at BayArena.

The Bayer Leverkusen crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Lokomotiv Moskva here at BayArena in a Champions League match. A Bundesliga defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Borussia Dortmund.

Union Berlin form and stats

One match played away so far in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses from 17 games. It's three draws from Union Berlin's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus Werder Bremen with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, Union Berlin secured a home win against Borussia Dortmund with the score 3-1.

It's early days yet, but Union Berlin has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
