March 17: Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund (Matchday 25)

The first of these potential season defining fixtures will be played in less than two weeks’ time. Borussia Dortmund make the trip to Borussia Mönchengladbach, aiming to make it three wins in a row over Marco Rose’s side.

Dortmund beat Gladbach 1-0 in the reverse fixture, before coming from behind to win 2-1 in the DFB Pokal in October.

But beating them away from home will be a much tougher task. Gladbach have tasted defeat just once at home so far this season, while Dortmund do not have the best of away records. The Foals have enough quality in their squad to hurt the Black and Yellows’ defence. And with the two teams currently third and fourth in the table, defeat could prove to be very damaging to either side’s title hopes.

Second placed Leipzig also face a tough test on matchday 25, a trip to Wolfsburg. While Bayern have a relatively straightforward home game against Augsburg.
