Bayern Munich look to shake off their shambolic defeat against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga as they host a depleted Union Berlin side.
Bayern are seven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen after their disappointing defeat on the weekend and Tuchel's men will be vying to revive their form and utilise this game in hand to great extent.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, are just three points away from safety as they have a daunting task ahead of them to revive their campaign. A loss against the reigning champions could give Mainz the perfect opportunity to swap places, pushing Berlin to the 18th spot in the table.
