Surprise Bundesliga title challengers Union Berlin welcome Schalke 04 to the German capital on Sunday afternoon.
It is a much different story for Schalke though, as they sit bottom of the table, with an imminent return to the 2. Bundesliga looking likely.
We say: Union Berlin 2-0 Schalke 04
Anything but a win for Union Berlin against the side bottom of the table would be devastating to their title hopes, and they must ensure they do not have one eye on their second leg with Ajax coming up.
Despite three clean sheets on the spin, Schalke may find it much tougher to shut out one of the most in-form sides in Europe.

Borussia Dortmund will aim to notch a sixth successive Bundesliga victory when they welcome relegation-threatened Hertha Berlin to Signal Iduna Park on Sunday afternoon.
Hertha ended a four-game losing run with a much-needed win against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend, but they still occupy the dreaded relegation playoff spot.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Hertha Berlin
Although Hertha Berlin crushed Gladbach last time out, Schwarz's side will struggle to continue their mini-revival against in-form Borussia Dortmund.
After all, BVB have won six of their last seven Bundesliga home games, meaning that Terzic's men should extend their winning streak to eight games without any real problems.

B. Leverkusen vs. Mainz (Sunday, 6.30pm)

Both teams should head into Sunday's meeting with plenty of confidence after Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz 05 both returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga last weekend.
Leverkusen won 3-1 away to Hoffenheim, while Mainz defeated Augsburg by the same scoreline.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Mainz 05
With Leverkusen losing to Monaco less than 72 hours prior to kicking-off against Mainz on Sunday, we believe the visitors can claim a positive result at the BayArena.
Svensson's side have been decent away from home this season, with their front three undoubtedly capable of causing the hosts significant issues in transition. Both teams may settle for a share of the spoils should the match be heading in that direction.
