Union Berlin Faces Tough Test at Leverkusen

Union Berlin, with Steffen Baumgart back at the helm after serving his suspension, faces a challenging away game against Bayer Leverkusen. Baumgart's return is a significant boost for Union, who are looking to secure valuable points on the road. Leverkusen, still finding their feet after a major summer overhaul, presents a stern test for the Berlin side.

Baumgart has made two changes to the starting lineup from the draw against HSV. Andras Schäfer comes into the defensive midfield, replacing Janik Haberer, while Jeong Woo-yeong takes Ilyas Ansah's place in attack. The coach is hoping these changes will inject fresh energy and creativity into the team as they look to overcome Leverkusen's challenge.

Leverkusen's Struggles Offer Opportunity

Leverkusen's inconsistent start to the season, following a turbulent summer, provides Union with a window of opportunity. Despite their struggles, Leverkusen possesses quality players and a dangerous attacking threat. Union will need to be disciplined and organized defensively while also posing a threat on the counter-attack. Baumgart's tactical nous will be crucial in navigating this tricky fixture and securing a positive result for Union Berlin.
