Bayer Leverkusen are aiming to continue their fairytale gallop in the Bundesliga as the undefeated German powerhouses face off against a mid-table Union Berlin outfit.
Union Berlin are currently seeded in the 11th position in the table as they enter the contest against the league leaders on the back of a shambolic toothless stalemate against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayer Leverkusen's hopes of ending Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga is coming closer with every passing matchday with the visitors needing three more wins to lift the illustrious prize. But Xabi Alonso will also be targeting the invincible tag as Leverkusen look to wrap up the remaining seven games without a defeat.
