How to Watch Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Berlin?

After the FIFA Women's World Cup, the domestic season resumes following a break to allow players to rest. The week three games in the Women's Bundesliga will take place in week 2 (September 2025).

Bayer Leverkusen Women and Union Berlin Women will meet at Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion, with kick-off scheduled for 18:00 (16:00 UTC) on Monday, September 15, 2025. Bayer Leverkusen, coached by Roberto Pätzold, will look to erase the memory of their defeat to Bayern Munich in their opener last week while Union Berlin, coached by Ailien Poese, will want to earn their second consecutive points after a well-deserved point against Nürnberg in their opening Bundesliga fixture last week, while hoping to steal three points away from home against possible top four challengers.

Team News

Bayer Leverkusen will want to build on a very good squad, even with the departure of Janou Levels to Wolfsburg in the summer. A key option in attack will be the new signing Vanessa Fudalla, who netted 10 goals over the last two seasons for RB Leipzig. Another key option will be the new signing Carlotta Wamser from Eintracht Frankfurt, who will add creativity and versatility. Finally, last year's top scorer, Cornelia Kramer who will be their key threat in front of goal again this year.
Union Berlin will travel in good spirits after claiming their first-ever Bundesliga point in their last match. Nele Bauereisen scored in the friendly against Leverkusen back in January and is a player to watch. Although the entire squad lacks first division experience, there have been strong signs of resilience and camaraderie under head coach Ailien Poese.

Form Guide

Bayer Leverkusen Women (last five matches):
Leverkusen's first league game of the 2022 23 season resulted in a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich, but they showed good potential for most of the game. Before that match, Leverkusen had a mixed time frame through fun friendlies: a 0-0 abandoned match against Wolfsburg, a 1-1 draw in Zwolle, and a 2-0 loss against Hoffenheim. Their promising January trip to Spain (5-1 win against Villarreal, 1-0 win against Anderlecht) inspires, but the Werkself will be seeking more consistency in front of goal.
Union Berlin Women (recent form):
Union Berlin started their Bundesliga journey with a solid 1-1 draw against Nürnberg. They showed reasonable defensive discipline and desperation in their late equalising effort; they will need all of that again in their first away trip to face Bayer in what is an intimidating environment that does not apologise for its size. In their build-up phase of their pre-season, Union have limited time to get on the ball and move about, as their preseason focus has been getting players organised and maintaining their structure to adapt to the Bundesliga's higher tempo and level. Their away challenge against Leverkusen will require them to depend on solid teamwork and maintain structure to ensure a competitive fixture.

Match Preview

Leverkusen are feeling the pressure to get points on the table ahead of their second match of the season after a tough defeat to Bayern Munich on the opening day of the season. New additions to the squad, including Vanessa Fudalla and Carlotta Wamser, as well as last season’s leading scorer Cornelia Kramer, enhance the quality available to Roberto Pätzold’s side and should allow Leverkusen to impose its quality at home.
That said, Union Berlin are unlikely to make things easy on Leverkusen and will travel in a good frame of mind following the club’s first-ever Bundesliga point and with the mindset of having nothing to lose. Union will likely defend deep and counterattack Leverkusen when possible, while hoping that they can take advantage of any defensive mistakes made by the home side.
The recent history between these two teams shows a 2-1 win for Leverkusen in a friendly this spring, so Union is capable of keeping matches close. But Bayer’s superior depth and home advantage should be too much for them to overcome.
