The title has been decided in the German Bundesliga but there are still European places up for grabs.
The game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen will be played at Deutsche Bank Park on the 5th of May.
The hosts are currently in 6th place on 45 points while the visitors are well clear at the top of the table on 81 points.
Eintracht Frankfurt come into the match having lost 2-1 at Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last weekend.
Bayern Munich took the lead in just the 9th minute but Eintracht Frankfurt struck back 14 minutes later to go in at 1-1 at half time.
Into the second period and Bayern Munich scored the only goal from the penalty spot in the 61st minute.
The defeat at Bayern Munich means Eintracht Frankfurt have won only 1 of their 6 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in the Bundesliga.
The victory came at home over Augsburg but there have been defeats against Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart away.
Eintracht Frankfurt were also held to a draw at home by Union Berlin and Werder Bremen.
The stats show that no defeats can be found in Eintracht Frankfurt's 9 most recent home games in the Bundesliga.
In their last 27 home matches in all competitions, Eintracht Frankfurt have been undefeated on 24 occasions. Both teams have scored in 5 of Eintracht Frankfurt’s 6 most recent home league fixtures.
Bayer Leverkusen travel to Deutsche Bank Park on the back of playing the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against Roma in Italy.
Their most recent Bundesliga fixture was played last weekend at home against Stuttgart and the match ended 2-2. Bayer Leverkusen needed a 96th minute equaliser to take a point.
Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in the Bundesliga this season but they have failed to win each of their last 2 league matches.
In addition to the draw with Stuttgart there was a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund and that game also included a late equaliser for Bayer Leverkusen.
Trends show Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their last 15 away Bundesliga fixtures.
They have won 7 of their last 8 league games on the road and Bayer Leverkusen have seen both teams score in 4 of their 7 most recent away Bundesliga matches.
Team news: Eintracht Frankfurt are without the injured quartet of Nacho Ferri, Sebastian Rode, Mehdi Loune, and Sasa Kalajdzic. There are also doubts over the fitness of Hugo Ekitike and Farès Chaïbi.
Bayer Leverkusen will assess their squad following the match with Roma but Borja Iglesias is unavailable due to injury. Jonathan Tah and Adam Hlozek could also miss out.
The outcome of this match could depend on the team selection of Bayer Leverkusen. With the title wrapped up and the return leg of the Europa League semi-final to come, Xabi Alonso may be tempted to rotate heavily.
However, the lure of an undefeated season may be too much and we expect to see Bayer Leverkusen win this game, with both teams scoring.
