Bayer Leverkusen have had a good run in their recent matches and they will hope to carry on when they host Union Berlin in the DFB Pokal. Leverkusen saw off Stuttgart 2-1 in the third round of the competition as Union Berlin, playing away, beat Verl 1-0. This will be the third time the two sides are facing off this season, the second time they face off in the DFB Pokal and the fourth time in history that they get to meet. In the earlier three meetings between the two sides, Leverkusen have won all and scored nine goals, just conceding three. In each of the meetings, Leverkusen have scored at least two goals while Union Berlin have failed to score in one. Leverkusen head to this game unbeaten in seven matches, having won six of them. In their last 10 matches, Leverkusen have won eight and lost one. They however have just one clean sheet in their last five matches while they have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches. They have five straight wins at home and having scored at least two in each of these but have conceded in three of them. In their last six DFB Pokal matches, Leverkusen have one loss and five wins.

Union Berlin on the other hand, head to this game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. They will really feel they underachieved in the match, after taking a 2-0 lead then going on to share spoils. They will however remember well their most recent match against Leverkusen in which they also let go of the lead, fought back and when they thought they would get a point, conceded in the final minute. They will really want to keep their focus throughout the game, especially in the final minutes. They almost stumbled against Eintracht Frankfurt as well, conceding in the 80th minute but this time they held on well to register three points. If the last three games have taught them any lessons, is to keep the focus in the final minutes. They have three straight away wins but that is all they have managed in the last eight away matches, losing four. In each of their last 13 DFB Pokal matches away from home, Union Berlin have scored and they head to this clash on three straight away wins in the competition.
