The Bundesliga title race may be over, but there is still plenty to play for in the final five rounds. RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are battling for the top four.
Meanwhile, Mainz are on Bochum’s heels and could overtake them in the race for relegation survival.
RB Leipzig won 2-1 against Heidenheim earlier this season at Red Bull Arena. They will attempt to do the double over Heidenheim on Saturday.
Heidenheim won just one of their last six Bundesliga matches. Die Roten are comfortable in midtable and may have taken their foot off the accelerator. Twenty-two of their 34 points have come at home.
RB Leipzig won five of their last six Bundesliga matches. Goal difference has them in the top four ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Leipzig won their last three road matches.
Borussia Monchengladbach won their last four matches against Hoffenheim in all competitions. All four games saw over 2.5 goals. Both teams scored in all four of the fixtures, too.
Gladbach are not in good form. They won just one of their last six games. The Foals were beaten 2-1 by Borussia Dortmund a week ago.
Hoffenheim are also in poor form. They lost four of their last five Bundesliga matches. Sixteen of Hoffenheim’s 36 points have come at home this season.
Bochum are desperate for a win against Wolfsburg. This is a relegation six-pointer between the clubs. Bochum won the reverse fixture versus Wolfsburg 3-1. The teams’ last three encounters ended with over 3.5 goals.
Wolfsburg lost five of their last six matches. Just two points separate Wolfsburg from the relegation-playoff place. The Wolves conceded six times in their last two games. Both games were defeats.
Bochum failed to win any of their last six matches. They took just two points across those six matches. Bochum’s last three games saw both teams score. They’ve conceded 59 times this season.
The last two matches between these teams produced a 2-0 score. Stuttgart won 2-0 earlier this season, but Werder Bremen claimed a 2-0 victory against the Swabians in the previous meeting. Stuttgart posted a record of 3W-2D-1L against Werder in the last six matches.
Stuttgart are on a two-match winning streak. They are on the verge of locking up third place. It is a major change from fighting relegation the past few seasons. Stuttgart kept clean sheets in their last two Bundesliga matches.
Werder Bremen took just one point from their last six matches in the Bundesliga. The Green and White were beaten 5-0 by Stuttgart last weekend. They have only scored 36 times this season.
