Baumgartner and Lewandowski found the net for either side to ensure a share of the spoils. However; Bayern has drawn successive matches letting BVB get to within 4 points of them.
Hence, they need to get back to winning and further extend their lead in order to avoid any last-minute drama at the top.
On the other hand, Union Berlin drew 1-1 at home to VfB Stuttgart last week where Awoniyi and Kalajdzic scored for either side to share the spoils.
This point leaves Union Berlin in 8th place with 38 points as they keep their slim hopes of finishing in the top 4 alive.
Back-to-back dropped points results will have dented their confidence, but Berlin hope to make a fist of the challenge.
Both sides last met in October, where Bayern won 5-2 at the home of Berlin.
