Union Berlin will aim to become the second side in seven days to overcome a surprise for Bayern Munich when they host Runaway Bundesliga Leaders on Saturday.
Steffen Baumgart’s 14th side is two places and six points above Bochum, who occupies the final play-off play-off, but became the first team in almost a year to win Bayern in the league 3-2 last Saturday.
“We are playing against one of the best teams in Europe,” Baumgart said after Bayern finished a 5-0 overall victory over the reigning German champions Bayer Leverkusen in Champions League Round 16 on Tuesday.
“You need a absolutely top performance, and even then you may not win. But first of all it is about what we can do, what we can get out of this game – which is a great challenge.”
