Full-time: Hoffenheim 4-2 Union

Hoffenheim secured survival with a thrilling victory over UEFA Champions League-chasers Union. The hosts took the lead through an Ihlas Bebou strike before Andrej Kramaric doubled his side's lead. Late into injury-time before the break, Danilho Doekhi halved the deficit to give the visitors hope, but Kramaric grabbed his second of the game as full-time approached. There was still time for two more strikes, with Aissa Laidouni giving 'Die Eisernen' hope before Munas Dabbur put the game to bed with the final kick of the game. Hoffenheim can now celebrate beating the drop, while Union still have a chance to clinch a top-four spot against Werder Bremen next week.

Hoffenheim: personnel

Dennis Geiger pulled out of the warm-up last time out but is in line for a return for the hosts, who remain without suspended centre-back, Stanley Nsoki. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo will be looking to Andrej Kramaric (pictured) to provide inspiration in attack, with Hoffenheim picking up points whenever their 10-goal top scorer has found the back of the net this term. American Justin Che will not be involved after the club confirmed they will not make his loan deal from FC Dallas permanent.

Hoffenheim: form

TSG were four without defeat (W3, D1) until losing to Cologne on Matchday 29, sparking their current run of just one victory from their last four (W1, L3) - a sequence that leaves them with only a three-point buffer to automatic relegation and two points clear of the promotion/relegation play-off place. Hoffenheim could secure their top-flight status with victory over Union, combined with favourable results from Stuttgart and Schalke.

Union: personnel

Becker (r., pictured) and Kevin Behrens (l.) were the stars against top-four rivals Freiburg, with the pair involved in all four of their team's goals. They should continue in attack and, with no injury concerns, Urs Fischer has little reason to change things, although both Josip Juranovic and Aissa Laidouni are pushing for recalls.

Union: form

Their comprehensive victory over Freiburg last time out was just Union's second win from the last six (W2, D2, L2), with inconsistency creeping in down the final stretch. One win out of their last five away from home is also a concern but the Berlin club know that victory at Hoffenheim could well seal a top-four spot and historic maiden UEFA Champions League qualification - depending on Freiburg's result on Friday.

Late Union show

Hoffenheim looked on course for an important away win when the sides met in January, but three strikes from the hosts in the final 20 minutes secured the points for Union Berlin.

2:03

Hoffenheim beaten in Wolfsburg

A late own goal was not enough for Hoffenheim as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat at a Wolfsburg side chasing European qualification.

2:03

Big win in Berlin

Union's 4-2 success against Freiburg left them on the brink of sealing a spot in the top four.

Reunion

Hoffenheim midfielder Grischa Prömel played for Union Berlin for five years and was part of their side that won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019.

Don't look down

Hoffenheim and Union Berlin are among a select group of seven clubs never to experience relegation from the Bundesliga. A win for Hoffenheim will give their chances of remaining in that number a serious boost!

Becker brilliance

Sheraldo Becker became the first player this season to have four goal involvements in a single Bundesliga match, with his two goals and two assists in last Saturday's 4-2 win over Freiburg.

Away blues

Union have suffered all seven of their league defeats this season away from home. They have won just one of their past five away trips, too.

Already in the history books

Union Berlin have 59 points and 17 wins to their name this season - new club records in the Bundesliga.

History beckons for Union!

Four years after being promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time, Union are on the cusp of a maiden Champions League qualification. Victory in Hoffenheim could seal the deal, depending on how Freiburg fare against Wolfsburg on Friday.
