Championship match ball in the capital: FCB Women away to Union

At the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, the Munich women have a great opportunity to wrap up the eighth league title in the club's history. The match kicks off at 18:00 CEST. Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game in our preview.

Latest news from Bayern Head coach José Barcala 's team can look back on an extremely strong season so far: in addition to the upcoming UWCL semi-final first leg against Barcelona ( get your tickets for Saturday evening's clash at the Allianz Arena here ! ) and the DFB Cup final against VfL Wolfsburg on 14 May, the Munich side sit unbeaten at the top of the Women's Bundesliga with 20 wins from 21 league games. A win in Berlin would see the Munich side crowned German champions ahead of schedule.

But even a draw could see them clinch the title - provided VfL Wolfsburg don't win their rearranged game at SV Werder Bremen, which will take place at the same time. The same scenario applies in the event of a defeat for FCB Women, provided the team from Lower Saxony also lose their match: In that case, the Munich Frauen's lead would remain at an unassailable 13 points with four matchdays to go before the end of the season, meaning the league title would be mathematically out of their reach (click here for the table). The opposition: 1.

FC Union Berlin Barcala's side would be wise to show some caution against Union Berlin: The Irons are unbeaten in five games and also enjoy upsetting the ‘big teams’. Before the international break, Ailien Poese's side were on the verge of defeating second-placed Wolfsburg, but had to settle for a draw in the end. After Eurlings put them ahead and the Wolves equalised straight after through Minge, the Berliners took a 3-1 lead in the second half thanks to an own goal by Küver and a header from Hipp.
