Germany face France at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon on March 23 before hosting the Netherlands in Frankfurt on March 26.

Bayern, 10 points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the German top flight, host rivals Borussia Dortmund on March 30 before visiting Heidenheim on April 6. They travel to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on April 9.
