Union Berlin enter this fixture under the spotlight as Marie-Louise Eta makes history by becoming the first woman to manage a men’s team in one of Europe’s top-five leagues, with struggling Wolfsburg the visitors.
Union’s decision to part ways with Steffen Baumgart followed a disappointing 3-1 loss to Heidenheim, leaving them with just one win in their last six matches.
Eta, who is set to take charge of the club’s women’s team next season, now steps in on an interim basis with a clear mission: to steer Union to safety in the Bundesliga.
They begin the round seven points clear of the relegation play-off spot, but recent home form offers little reassurance, with just one win in their last six matches at home.
On the other hand, Wolfsburg’s situation is even more concerning, with their form putting them at a big risk.
Their 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt extended their winless streak to 12 matches, the longest current run without a victory in the league.
Stuck in the relegation zone, they sit four points adrift of the play-off spot and seven from safety with only five games left.
Managed by Dieter Hecking, Wolfsburg face mounting pressure to produce a turnaround quickly if they are to preserve their long-standing top-flight status.
Their only recent positives have come on the road, where they have picked up two draws in their last five games, but time is rapidly running out for the Wolves.

Whispers predicts: Union Berlin 1-0 Wolfsburg
The recent form of both sides has not been really good, but we tip the host to claim a narrow victory in this encounter.
Union Berlin have struggled to score more than one goal in four of their last five matches, while Wolfsburg are currently on a twelve-game winless run.
Although the hosts have a great record against the visitors, this could be an advantage for them in this tie.
The bookmakers have made Union Berlin the favourites at 2.20, reflecting their home advantage and the poor form of the visitors.
A draw is valued at 3.40, which is an attractive option given the lack of clinical finishing in both camps lately.
An away victory for Wolfsburg is considered the underdog result at 3.20 odds, as they have not won a match in several months.
The odds for under 2.5 goals are set at 1.90, which might be safer, and both teams to score (no) are priced at 2.05. A first-half draw is given at 2.20 odds.
> Home to win at 2.20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score (no) at 2.05 | Likelihood: Possible
> First-half draw at 2.20 | Likelihood: Possible
