This is a really good game to welcome in the weekend. Bayer Leverkusen are in their expected top-four spot but Union Berlin have been one of the stories of the season so far, sitting fifth after 15 games.
What's made their recent run of results all the more impressive is that they've managed to cope without Max Kruse, who is currently sidelined through injury. They have adapted and shown that they don't solely rely on the forward for goals; in fact they have scored two in four of the five games he has missed so far. The one that fell short was a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.
That draw with Bayern is one of a number of results already that we can point to as a real highlight of not just Union's season but the Bundesliga as a whole. They are showing that they are equal to those around them not just in the standings but in individual matches too.
Union drew 2-2 with Wolfsburg last time out while the home league game before that was a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Just two losses on their Bundesliga record this season shows how they are a difficult team to beat, and even with Leverkusen's strong away form taken into account, the 11/10 looks too short.
