BERLIN — Union Berlin is dreaming of the Champions League while Hertha Berlin faces the nightmare of relegation. The fortunes of the German capital's Bundesliga clubs could hardly be more pronounced this season. Union was only promoted to the top division in 2019.

Hertha's seventh demotion will be confirmed if it doesn't beat relegation rival Bochum at home on Saturday.
