Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund saw their title chances dealt a blow as they were held to a draw at VfL Bochum.
The result means second-place Bayern will go top with four games to go if they beat bottom club Hertha Berlin on Sunday.
Jude Bellingham was denied late on as Bochum battled for the point.
Dortmund are top with 61 points but Bayern Munich are just two behind before Sunday’s game.
Union Berlin are third on 55 points and host Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
