1457

Despite Bayer Leverkusen wrapping up the Bundesliga title for the first time in their history, there is still plenty to play for this season.

Four rounds remain in the campaign, as the race for the top five continues to go on. At the other end of the table, Mainz are aiming for a great escape.

Augsburg - Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen posted a 2-0 home win over Augsburg earlier this season. It was just their second win in six attempts against Saturday’s opponent.

Augsburg will start the round in eighth place, with six points separating them from the top six. European qualification could still be on the cards for the club. However, Augsburg lost two of their last three games. All three games saw over 1.5 goals.

Bremen are fresh off a surprise 2-1 win at home against Stuttgart. The victory ended a five-match winless streak. Only seven points separate Werder Bremen from the relegation-playoff place.

Freiburg - Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg are coming off a 1-0 win over Bochum in a relegation six-pointer. The Wolves claimed two wins from the last four matches, improving their chances of staying up this season. Still, just four points separate them from the bottom three.

Freiburg took four points from their last two matches in the league. They are five points off the top six and a possible European place. Defence has been Freiburg’s issue this season, as they have conceded 53 times.

Mainz - Koln

Mainz are on the up and out of the relegation zone thanks to goal difference. They took 11 points from the last five games, keeping three clean sheets. Mainz scored 10 goals in their last three home matches.

Koln are 17th and nearly cut adrift in the relegation race. The Billy Goats’ best chance may be to finish 16th in the relegation place and play in the playoffs. Koln lost their last two matches in the Bundesliga.

Heidenheim are coming off a 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig. It ended a four-match unbeaten run. The Reds are 10th in the league and gearing up for another Bundesliga campaign. However, they are not mathematically safe from relegation yet.
