In an awkward bid to finish second in the Bundesliga this season, Bayern Munich will take on Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Saturday.
Having booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate win over Arsenal, Thomas Tuchel's men are level on points with third-placed Stuttgart in the domestic circuit where the Bavarians last defeated FC Koln 2-0.
On the other hand, Union Berlin are at the risk of getting themselves involved in the relegation battle following back-to-back defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
