The most intriguing matchup sees Eintracht Frankfurt take on Wolfsburg, as both clubs fight for European qualification. Leipzig, meanwhile, could capitalize on this direct encounter to leapfrog a rival with a victory against Union Berlin.
After three defeats and a draw in their last four games, Borussia Dortmund travels to Heidenheim, determined to bounce back and climb the table. Stuttgart will aim to recover from their Champions League elimination as they face Borussia Mönchengladbach.
