Bayer Leverkusen set their goal on their third victory in the new Bundesliga season when they welcome Union Berlin in La Bayarena this Saturday afternoon.

Die Werkself and Die Eisernnen endured a difficult start in the countryside, which adds an additional importance of importance before meeting this weekend.

Correspondence overview

Bayer Leverkusen was intended to pass a little drop given from the club not only the manager lost Xabi Alonso, but also a plethora of players during the summer transfer window.

The former boss of Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag, was responsible for taking the club in a new era, although he was sent sensational after three games and replaced by Denmark Kasper Hjulmand.

The new boss experienced a regular start, winning two victories and three draws in his first five games – including a 1-1 dead end against PSV Eindhoven last Tuesday in the Champions League.

A big problem that Hjulmand will have to solve is the bad defensive record of the team, since Die Werkself has conceded goals in his last seven competitive games.

Union Berlin is also struggling to keep the ball out of their own net, with only four other clubs conceding more goals in the Bundesliga than Die Eisernnen this season.

The union sent three goals to Borussia Dortmund, four at home against Hoffenheim and three against Eintracht Frankfurt, before finally keeping a white leaf in a draw with Hamburger SV last weekend.

Steffen Baumgart And his men hope to rely on this positive as they seek to end their race without a four -year victory against Leverkusen – a race that lasted nine games and saw Union lose three of his last four meetings.

Union managed to score only a goal against Bayer in six previous meetings, but with Die Werkself is struggling to keep sheets clean, Baumgart and his team will feel confident before their trip through the country.
