The Friday evening helping from the German Bundesliga sees Augsburg host Union Berlin at the WWK Arena.
Augsburg have enjoyed a good campaign under Jess Thorup so far and are currently placed seventh in the Bundesliga, poised to qualify for Europe next season.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, have struggled to maintain the heights of last season when they qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history, as at the moment they are down in 13th.
Current Form
Augsburg Current Form
Augsburg recently went on a superb win of four Bundesliga wins in a row versus Freiburg, Darmstadt, Heidenheim and Wolfsburg.
However, that run has been derailed by a draw against Cologne and then a loss away to Hoffenheim in their last game.
Union Berlin Current Form
Union Berlin have won just one of their last six games in the Bundesliga and that came at home to Werder Bremen in the middle of March.
In that six-game run, they have won one, lost three and drawn two.
In their last game, they were defeated 1-0 at home by champions-elect, Leverkusen.
