Current form: Bayern Munich vs Hannover
Bayern stumbled to a surprise 1-1 draw with Nurnberg last round, but were given a lifeline as Dortmund ended up losing 4-2 in the Revierderby. That means that Niko Kovac's men still have a two point lead on top of the table with just a few games remaining, and they will want to take advantage of the fact that they will be facing yet another relegation candidate in their upcoming match.
Meanwhile, Hannover have won just one of their last five games and are rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga table. With just 18 points, they are clearly heading down to the 2.Bundesliga next season after what has been a simply awful campaign for them. Despite picking up a 1-0 win against Mainz last weekend, there's still a six point gap between them and the relegation play-off spots, and in fact, their quest to stay afloat could effectively end this weekend if they fail to beat Bayern and Stuttgart win their fixture against Hertha Berlin.
Simply put, this game couldn't come at a worse time for Hannover, as not only have they failed to win their last 27 away games in the Bundesliga, but they are facing an opponent who will be really keen on trying to keep Dortmund at bay with just three games to go. For Germany football fans, the title race this season has actually been an interesting one to follow, and it looks set to go down to the wire. Will Hannover throw a monkey wrench in Bayern's plans? They have failed to beat die Roten in their past 13 meetings, but stranger things have happened so far in the Bundesliga this season. Or will Bayern take one step closer towards sealing yet another league title?
