Fürth were one mistake from doing the double over Union and claiming a positive from this season, but they do remain unbeaten against a European contender and take a small step closer to their goal of matching their 21 points from 2012/13. Union miss out on the chance of confirming their place in Europe next season.

Asta and Knoche both slide in for a ball and collide at pace and need treatment.

Union's only league losses at home in the last 18 months have been against Bayern and Dortmund. Are Fürth going to join that illustrious list?

We're two thirds of the way through this match at the Alte Försterei. Greuther look in control but it's still only 1-0, and Union seem to be growing into the game.

Fürth have already lost seven games this season in which they've taken the lead. Only Saarbrücken in 1963/64 have ever thrown away more leads to lose (nine). Greuther have also led at the break away from home three times this campaign. They lost all those (3-1 at Cologne, 4-1 in Leipzig and 4-1 at Bayern).

There are no doubt many people wondering where this Fürth were when it mattered this season. They've been very good here, restricting Union to pretty much nothing while striking themselves with a brilliant hit from Hrgota. But the Clover Leaves are yet to win on the road this season. In fact, they haven't done so on their travels in the Bundesliga since this matchday in 2012/13.

Kick-off is moments away in Berlin on the 2,000th matchday in Bundesliga history.

Union have won all four of their league games in April, setting a new club record for consecutive Bundesliga wins. They’ve also equalled their record total of 50 points with three games to go. But there’s a far bigger carrot than that in front of them. Die Eisernen could in fact guarantee a place in Europe for the second year in a row if they win and Hoffenheim lose to Freiburg tomorrow. It would ensure they can’t finish below seventh, which will herald a UEFA Europa Conference League spot.

Although Fürth’s relegation was confirmed last week, Leitl has said that the team still has some targets, such as improving on the 21 points that the class of 2012/13 got in the club’s only previous Bundesliga campaign. They’ve got three games to get the four points needed to equal that. The Clover Leaves ended 2012/13 with four wins and 26 goals, with the last victory coming the game after relegation, away at Stuttgart – their last away win in the top flight. The current crop have three wins and 25 goals…

Stefan Leitl, who confirmed this week that he will leave the club at the end of the season, also makes just one change from the defeat to Leverkusen, which confirmed Greuther’s relegation. That sees Jamie Leweling return and replace Julian Green.

Urs Fischer makes just one change for his and Union’s 100th Bundesliga games from the side that came from behind to win late on at Leipzig last week. It’s an enforced one, with Andras Schäfer unavailable and replaced by Genki Haraguchi. There’s no place for the two goalscorers at the Red Bull Arena, Kevin Behrens and Sven Michel. They both start on the bench again.
