Union Berlin will aim to close out a frustrating season on a positive note when they welcome European hopefuls Augsburg on the final day of the Bundesliga campaign.
History-maker Marie-Louise Eta secured her first victory in interim charge last weekend as Union defeated Mainz 3-1.
That result came in her fourth game at the helm after being handed the task of steering the club clear of relegation before moving into her upcoming role as head coach of Union’s women’s side.
With survival already secured and a mid-table finish guaranteed, Saturday marks the end of Eta’s short spell in charge of the men’s team. Even so, the campaign will still go down as a disappointing one for the Iron Ones.
Augsburg, meanwhile, travel to Berlin still dreaming of European qualification after an impressive late-season surge.
They secured a comfortable 3-1 victory at home against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend, with the result moving them closer to European qualification.
The Fuggerstädter are unbeaten in six league matches and could secure a place in next season’s UEFA Conference League if they finish seventh and results elsewhere go in their favour.
It would mark only the second European qualification in the club’s history, with their last continental appearance coming in 2015/16.
Interim boss Manuel Baum is widely expected to be handed the role permanently and arrives with momentum on his side after consecutive away victories over Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen.

Whispers predicts: Union Berlin 1-1 Augsburg
Union Berlin’s recent form have been patchy, with their defensive unit showing significant cracks that have been exploited by both top-tier and mid-table opponents.
While they possess the talent to score, their inability to maintain a clean sheet has been a glaring weakness for them in the past few games.
On the other hand, Augsburg are currently in peak form, unbeaten in six and scoring freely, but past meetings against the hosts have ended in more draws than wins.
The bookmakers have given the home side 2.55 odds to win this clash, while a draw is currently valued at 3.70, a result that has been common in this fixture.
An away victory for the visitors is considered the underdog result at 2.50 odds, offering significant value considering their superior current form.
The odds for under 2.5 goals are set at 2.50, and both teams to score (yes) is also a strong proposition at 1.50, as both sides have consistent scoring records in their recent league outings.
For those seeking a higher payout, a first-half draw is also a good option to explore, and it is available at 2.40 odds.
> Full-time draw at 3.70 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score at 1.50 | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 2.5 goals at 2.50 | Likelihood: Probable
> First-half draw at 2.40 | Likelihood: Probable
