Stuttgart vs. Augsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)
A crucial clash at the bottom of the Bundesliga table will take place on Saturday, as Stuttgart play host to Augsburg.
The hosts currently sit in the relegation playoff place, while their visitors are three points better off in 14th spot after a victory last time out.
We say: Stuttgart 1-1 Augsburg
Given their close standings in the battle for survival, we predict a close and cagey affair and cannot quite pick a winner.
The two sides have improved their standings in the battle at the bottom of the table recently, and, with them both having renewed confidence and the chance of building momentum, we do not expect either to roll over.

Mainz 05 vs. Arminia Bielefeld (Saturday, 2.30pm)
Both looking to bounce back from consecutive league defeats, Mainz 05 and Arminia Bielefeld will lock horns at the Mewa Arena on Saturday.
The hosts have dropped to 10th spot in the Bundesliga table after back-to-back losses, while their visitors now sit just two points above the relegation zone.
We say: Mainz 05 1-0 Arminia Bielefeld
While they have hit a recent dip in form, we see the hosts being too strong for their visitors on Saturday and expect them to return to winning ways against a side devoid of confidence.

Hertha Berlin vs. Hoffenheim (Saturday, 2.30pm)
With the two sides embroiled in battles at opposite ends of the Bundesliga table, Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim will do battle in the German capital on Saturday.
The hosts sit in the relegation zone having lost their last five league games, while their visitors sit sixth, level on points with fourth-placed RB Leipzig in the fight for Champions League qualification.
We say: Hertha Berlin 1-3 Hoffenheim
While the hosts may be somewhat rejuvenated by the change in management, we do not see them boasting the quality to topple an in-form Hoffenheim side at the weekend.
Hoeness's men are playing with confidence, and, with their sights set on the top four, they should stretch their eye-catching run with an away win.

Greuther Furth vs. Freiburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)
Champions League-chasing Freiburg will be looking to move into the top four when they travel to Sportpark Ronhof to face Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be hoping to avoid a 19th league defeat of the season as they bid to keep their slim hopes of top-flight survival alive.
We say: Greuther Furth 1-4 Freiburg
Greuther Furth are likely to pose a threat in the final third, having scored in eight of their last 11 league games; however, their defensive frailties could let them down once again against an in-form Freiburg outfit.
The visitors will be strong favourites to come away with all three points on Saturday and few would be surprised to see them win convincingly at Sportpark Ronhof.

Bayern vs. Union Berlin (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Union Berlin to the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening.
The Bavarian giants have won only two of their last five top-flight matches, while the Iron Ones have won only one of their last six league games.
We say: Bayern Munich 3-1 Union Berlin
Union Berlin have caused problems for Bayern Munich countless times in previous meetings, and we expect the visitors to get on the scoresheet this weekend.
However, the hosts will be fired up in a bid to turn their fortunes around and their elite attackers possess all the qualities required to outscore their opponents.
