VfL Bochum vs. Union Berlin (Sunday, 2.30pm)
Rock-bottom VfL Bochum host the league leaders Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
The hosts have lost eight of their 10 league games so far this season, while the visitors have won seven out of 10 to move four points clear at the summit.
We say: VfL Bochum 0-2 Union Berlin
We expect a comfortable win for the visitors, who rarely give up leads when they edge ahead in matches.
Indeed, Union Berlin have won five matches in a row without conceding in all competitions, so Bochum have a serious job on their hands to even score against Fischer's table toppers.

Hertha Berlin vs. Schalke (Sunday, 4.30pm)
Two potential relegation rivals face each other on Sunday when Hertha Berlin take on Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.
Hertha only survived relegation via a play-off against Hamburger SV last season, while Schalke were promoted from the second tier as champions.
We say: Hertha Berlin 2-1 Schalke 04
We expect a closely-fought affair between two struggling sides, but we can envisage Hertha having enough quality to get over the line.
The hosts are a much tighter defensive unit under Schwarz, with their pace and quality in transition likely to hurt Schalke, who appear to be in need of major surgery in the January transfer window.
