Watch: Diaby talks Bayer homecoming

Full-time: Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 Union Berlin

And that's it! Bayer Leverkusen dominated Union Berlin in every aspect during this match, winning 4-0 and bouncing back in convincing fashion after last week's surprise defeat by Elversberg. Die Werkself passed the ball around stylishly and finished clinically, with Maza in particular in excellent form. Union were hugely disappointing, and will regret not having more of a go at the BayArena.

Today's xG...

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

...tells its own story.

Ljubičić's shot is blocked

A half-chance for Union: Rothe finds Kemlein, who launches a long pass to Ljubičić. The forward's shot is blocked, but it's called back for offside in the build-up anyway. It does offer a glimmer of hope for the visitors, though.

What a start for the home side! Inside the opening minute, Quansah starts the move with a short pass to Tillman, who whips in a cross from the right flank to Gutiérrez. The left-back does well to pop the ball back across to Fernández, and he finishes neatly to make it 1-0!

Star signing on bench

Leverkusen latest marquee signing, the returning Moussa Diaby, will start on the bench and will hope at some point to make his first Bundesliga appearance since 27 May 2023 (for Die Werkself in Bochum). Coach Martínez may well be tempted to put him in, if only because the forward scored four goals in seven Bundesliga matches against Union in his first spell.

More on that Leverkusen team

Following the disappointing start in Elversberg, Bayer have made two changes to their last starting XI - and, unsurprisingly, both are at the back. Jarell Quansah and Facundo Medina step up in place of Loïc Badé and Lucas Vázquez, who drop to the bench. World Cup finalist Medina thereby makes his first start in a competitive match for Leverkusen.

More on that Union team

Mauro Lustrinelli makes three changes to the team that drew with Frankfurt: regular starting 'keeper Frederik Rönnow returns, recent signing Felix Uduokhai replaces Leopold Querfeld in defence, and in midfield Livan Burcu starts in place of Andras Schäfer.

"Elversberg showed how to play against them - they delivered the perfect performance. Leverkusen obviously have huge potential and will only improve as the season progresses. You can already tell what their coaches are trying to implement."

Carles Martínez on facing Union

"We're not happy with our defeat last weekend, but it is part of a wider process. We've expressed our thoughts on the game and I'm happy with the week we've had. On Saturday, we need to show passion to compete and get a win that would be very important for everyone."

Rare triumph

Khedira gave Union their only win in their last 11 Bundesliga meetings with Leverkusen, and second in 14 all told, when the teams met in February. Bayer have won seven, with five ending all square.

Martínez targets first win

Only one Leverkusen head coach has lost his first two Bundesliga games: Dettmar Cramer at the start of the 1982/83 season (1-0 against Arminia Bielefeld, 5-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt). Die Werkself also lost their opener under new boss Erik ten Hag last term (2-1 vs. Hoffenheim), before drawing with Werder Bremen on Matchday 2. He was dismissed shortly afterwards.
