THE PREDICTION
Hannes Wolf has done a steady job since taking over as Bayer Leverkusen coach until the end of the season, winning three and losing just one of his six matches in charge. All three of those wins came at home, but a point would almost certainly be enough to secure their place in the Europa League again next season. Union Berlin have their eyes on seventh place, which would take them into the new UEFA Conference League. Urs Fischer’s men have not travelled well since the turn of the year, though, losing six and winning just one of their last nine away outings. Home advantage therefore looks a key factor here, and that’s why Leverkusen should be backed to extend their winning run at the BayArena.
