Union Berlin Faces Challenge Against Former Player Andrich's Leverkusen

Sat 4th Oct, 2025

Union Berlin is set to take on Bayer Leverkusen in a crucial Bundesliga match, marking a reunion with a familiar face. Robert Andrich, who played a pivotal role for Union before his transfer to Leverkusen in the summer of 2021, will be on the opposite side. Since joining Leverkusen, Andrich has not only continued to excel but has also earned a place in the national team.

As the match approaches, Union head coach Steffen Baumgart has emphasized the impressive individual skills of Leverkusen's players. However, the team has undergone significant changes, including the departures of notable figures such as coach Xabi Alonso, who moved to Real Madrid, and striker Florian Wirtz, who transferred to Liverpool. Leverkusen has also seen a mid-season coaching change, adding to the uncertainty surrounding their current form.

One noteworthy aspect for Union Berlin is Andrich's undefeated record against his former club. Throughout his career, he has never lost to Union, which adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming match.

The encounter is scheduled to kick off at 15:30 local time, and Union will be keen to secure a victory against a side that has proven to be a formidable opponent.
