Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to move outside of the relegation zone by beating league leaders Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Should Bayern Munich beat Hertha Berlin on Saturday as expected, the visitors will require all three points in order to move back to the top of the table.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Union Berlin
Leverkusen could benefit from having an additional two days' rest compared to their opponents, who are surely set to lose hold of top spot sooner or later given the form of Bayern since the return from September's international break.
The goals have dried up in recent weeks for Siebatcheu and Sheraldo Becker, meaning Union Berlin may have to settle for a share of the spoils on Sunday.

Freiburg vs. FC Koln (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Freiburg will be aiming to win their third successive league match when they host FC Koln in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Koln took four points against their forthcoming opponents last season, though, so they will head into the match with plenty of confidence in terms of gaining a positive result.
We say: Freiburg 2-1 FC Koln
Freiburg should be significantly fresher than their opponents having rested almost their entire strongest XI in midweek, and we expect them to remain third in the table at worst by claiming a crucial victory.
This will be Koln's fourth match in 10 days and fatigue is likely to catch up with them sooner rather than later, especially after the disappointment of failing to beat Nice and advance to the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
