As the Bundesliga heats up, a tantalizing clash looms on the horizon with Union Berlin set to host the table-toppers Bayer Leverkusen at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei this coming Saturday. The predictions are in, and they point towards an exciting match with the potential for a dominant performance from the visiting team.

Key Players

For Union Berlin, the spotlight falls on Brenden Russell Aaronson, a midfielder who has shown glimpses of brilliance this season. With a rating of 6.41, his contribution in the midfield is pivotal, and his 140 total passes and 8 key passes show his influence in distributing the ball. Up front, Mikkel Kaufmann Sørensen will be expected to lead the line and add to his tally of 1 goal, while the defensive stalwart Leonardo Bonucci with a rating of 6.53, will need to marshal the backline effectively to keep Leverkusen's potent attack at bay.

His 5 shots on target from 9 attempts highlight his efficiency in front of goal. In the midfield, Nathan Adewale Temitayo Tella has been a revelation, with a 7.03 rating, 1 assist, and 4 goals to his name, making him a significant threat. Amine Adli complements the attack, contributing 2 goals and 3 assists, and his overall rating of 7.04 reflects his importance to the team.

Recent Form

Union Berlin's form has been a mixed bag with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five outings.

The contrasting forms of both teams set the stage for a compelling contest.
