Meanwhile, for teams who are still struggling to leave the relegation zone, like Bochum, they will face Leverkusen and of course it will be very difficult for them to get points, especially since Schalke is only 1 point away from Bochum. On the other hand, Hertha Berlin will face Wolfburg and even if they win or lose, they will still be relegated this season.
Indeed. It is also exciting at the bottom of the table. There are four teams fighting for staying in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim at place 13 can still be caught up in points, but the goal difference is too good to drop to place 16. Stuttgart will play against Hoffenheim and Stuttgart can still manage to stay in the Bundesliga with a win. Schalke will play against Leipzig. That will be very difficult for Schalke.
This seems to be getting more complicated ahead of the final match of the week for all the teams, especially the teams that are at the bottom of the table will really feel the changes that will happen. However, Hoffenheim were lucky enough to be able to excel on goal difference and even defeat would not change their destiny to remain in the bundesliga next season.
On the other hand, Sttutgart must win if they don't want to be relegated, that also applies if they don't lose against Hoffenheim. Of course, every team that is at the bottom of the table wants maximum results and regardless if they make a mistake, it is already a risk for each team.
Hoffenheim, even though they lost in the end, even with the advantage of their productivity, so they are still above the other clubs, it's just that for Stutgart, this is a set price for them, if they really want to return to the highest caste in the Bundesliga, then like it or not, they have to get 3 points for the sake of keep the points margin for now.
But on the other hand, Bochum and Schalke will also be in a lot of trouble now. The problem is with the opponent they will face for the final game.
Bochum will host Leverkusen and Schalke will visit Leipzig which of course we know for sure that this will be difficult.
The last match of the season is really interesting because apart from showing who will go to bundesliga 2 next season aside from Hertha, it is also a decider for the championship.
