Union Berlin will take on Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 15 March in a big match at both ends of the league table.
The hosts come into the match just six points clear of the drop zone and a loss to the league leaders could see this slashed in half to three if other results go against them.
Bayern, meanwhile, currently have an eight-point cushion at the top of the table and are looking good to reclaim the crown from Bayer Leverkusen.

Union Berlin preview: Will they hang on again?
Last season, Union Berlin avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth, finishing just one place above the relegation zone. This time around, they look like they could end up in a similar position as with just nine games to go they are only one place better off. To avoid any late drama, they will want to take points from their home games.

Bayern Munich preview: Still chasing the two big ones
There have been question marks around Vincent Kompany throughout his debut season at the Allianz Arena, but the Belgian currently has Bayern eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and safely into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This could still end up being one of the best in the club's history which would certainly silence those critics.

Player to watch: Harry Kane
Harry Kane proved why he is regarded as the best striker in the world by many people over the course of Bayern's two legs against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. It's been another stellar campaign for the England captain and he now looks set to finally win the first title of his career. The only question that remains is whether he can break the 40-goal barrier again – as things stand, he is on 32.
