Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin LIVE: Bundesliga latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Hoffenheim take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga today.
Bayern Munich remain the team to beat in the German top flight with Julian Nagelsmann's juggernaut side 31-time winners of the competition.
Boasting some of the best players in the world such as Sadio Mane, Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer they are always favourites to retain their league crown.
Rivals Borussia Dortmund traditionally push them the closest and have won the title five times, most recently back in 2012 under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were a force in the Seventies winning the league five times but are without a champion team since while Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart are all multi-time winners too.
RB Leipzig are the newest kids on the block and backed by energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull are now threatening to challenge for a first title of their own.

Both teams still trying to work the other out. #Akpo takes aim from about 30 yards out and it isn't far off.

The game's hardly begun when everything stops due to the blue and black smoke puring out of the Hoffenheim end. The players knock balls about between themselves. The ref twiddles his thumbs #TSGFCU | #fcunion | 0-0 | 01'

The Unioner sing as loud as ever, a sea of red and white, flags flying, a huge banner draped behind them. Gliders lazily circle the skies over the arena, and the players go through their final warm-ups. Stay cool, Unioner. not long now. Eisern!!! #TSGFCU pic.twitter.com/QMLa3Cdc2j

The sun is shining beautifully - what is this football weather? The Union players take a stroll on the pitch prompting a roar from the fans already filling their corner. They mill about, sticking close to the half way line, chatting, getting a feel for the grass. Not long #TSGFCU pic.twitter.com/VEcOJu7KHD
