Bayer Leverkusen started the season with a 3-2 defeat to Elfersberg, conceding three goals against a modest opponent, highlighting clear defensive issues. However, the "pharmacists" are doing well offensively – they've scored in each of their last five matches, including friendlies against Newcastle (2-1) and Sevilla (2-1). Union Berlin, meanwhile, drew 3-3 with Eintracht Frankfurt and has both scored and conceded in each of their last four competitive matches, confirming their penchant for open football.
The personnel situation also supports this prediction. Bayer Leverkusen may be without key defenders due to injury, while Union Berlin has losses in midfield, weakening their defensive midfield. These teams' encounters last season were not without draws, and the current form of both teams suggests they are more focused on attacking. Considering these factors, betting on both teams to score seems like the most logical and reasonable bet for this match.
