Having become the first female head coach in Bundesliga history, newly-appointed Union Berlin boss Marie-Louise Eta will be in the dugout for the first time on Saturday against Wolfsburg at the An der alten Forsterei. With just five games to go, Wolfsburg find themselves in the danger zone and six points away from safety, while the hosts are firmly rooted in mid-table.

Union Berlin failed to move into the top half of the Bundesliga table last weekend when they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Heidenheim at Voith Arena.

The side are without a win in five of their most recent six matches — losing four and claiming one draw — with a 1-0 victory over Freiburg on March 15 being the exception.

Union Berlin have picked up 32 points from their 29 Bundesliga games so far to sit 11th in the standings, but they could climb into ninth place with a win this weekend.

Wolfsburg, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot last time out when they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Volkswagen Arena.

Hecking’s men have gone 12 consecutive matches without a win, losing nine and claiming three draws since a 2-1 victory over St. Pauli on January 14.

With just 21 points from 29 Bundesliga matches, Wolfsburg are currently bottom but one in the league table, seven points behind 15th-placed Werder Bremen outside the relegation zone.
