Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Berlin: Bundesliga Round 29 Preview & Prediction – April 12, 2025

The Bundesliga title race continues to heat up as league leaders Bayer Leverkusen welcome Union Berlin to the BayArena on Saturday, April 12, 2025, for Round 29 of the season. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:30 CET-2, and all eyes will be on Xabi Alonso’s high-flying side as they edge closer to making history.

🔥 Current Form – 2025 Focus

Bayer Leverkusen
Simply unstoppable in 2025. Leverkusen are unbeaten in all competitions this year, having recorded huge wins against Bayern Munich (3-1), Bochum (4-0), and Augsburg (2-0). They boast the best defense in the league and have scored more than any other side in the calendar year. Florian Wirtz is having a breakout season, and Victor Boniface continues to be a nightmare for defenders.

Union Berlin
Union have struggled to find rhythm in 2025. With only two wins from their last seven matches, their European hopes are fading fast. A recent 1-1 draw at home to Mainz and a 0-2 loss at Hoffenheim highlight their issues in attack. Sheraldo Becker and Kevin Volland have struggled to convert chances, and their defensive compactness has waned.

📊 Bundesliga Standings (Ahead of Round 29)

  • Bayer Leverkusen: 1st place – 70 pts (W22 D4 L2)

  • Union Berlin: 12th place – 33 pts (W9 D6 L13)

Leverkusen are 6 points clear of Bayern at the top. Union Berlin are hovering in mid-table, with little to play for other than pride and stability.
