Union Berlin Women Ready to Rock Leverkusen at the Alte Försterei

Union Berlin's women's team is gearing up for a showdown that promises to be more dramatic than a season finale of 'The Bachelor'. On February 6, 2026, they take on Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the iconic Alte Försterei stadium, a match that could either be a fairy tale or a cautionary tale. Union Berlin ended 2025 like a Marvel superhero movie—full of action and leaving fans hungry for more. With a 2-1 victory against 1. FC Nürnberg and a tenacious 2-2 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, they're on a roll.

Meanwhile, Bayer 04 Leverkusen is experiencing a plot twist worthy of a 'Game of Thrones' episode. They started the season as if they were destined for the Iron Throne, sitting pretty in third place after nine matches. But alas, winter came, and their form fell faster than a Lannister at a wedding. With only three points from their last six games, they've slid down to seventh place, leaving fans scratching their heads and asking, 'What happened to our dragons?'

Union coach Ailien Poese is channeling her inner Yoda, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses. 'We've worked a lot on our play in the final third,' she said, sounding like a Jedi master preparing for battle. 'We want to score more goals and improve defensively so we can celebrate more wins than in the first half of the season.' Her strategy? Attack with the courage of a Gryffindor and defend with the solidity of a boulder in a rock-paper-scissors game.

The statistics tell a tale of resilience and opportunity. Union's previous encounter with Leverkusen was a nail-biter that saw them claw back from a 2-0 deficit, nearly pulling off an epic comeback. This time, they aim to flip the script entirely. The Alte Försterei will be buzzing with anticipation as Union looks to capitalize on Leverkusen's dip in form, hoping to add another chapter to their story of redemption.

In this clash of styles and narratives, Union Berlin has the home advantage and a chance to continue their momentum. It's set to be a thrilling encounter, where Union's goal is clear: to turn their upward trajectory into a full-blown ascent, leaving Leverkusen to ponder their own plot line.
