We are closing in on the final weeks of action in the German Bundesliga. Things have been getting tighter between those fighting for the title and those willing to leave everything on the pitch to maintain their spot in the German top-flight.
Bayer Leverkusen's relentless pursuit of their first Bundesliga title has kept them without a loss up to this point in the season, but this week they will get to face a team that has historically dominated their meetings. Meanwhile, Bayern München should have no issues to beat one of the teams battling to avoid relegation, especially with a big win against them in their previous fixture of the year.
When it comes to the teams involved in the relegation zone, Mainz and Köln will have a good chance to add points to their tally since they will be playing at home. Unfortunately for one of them, their fixture will see them facing a top four contender, which may hinder their options to claim a win here.
Without further ado, here's what to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches.

Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart - This could be a tricky game for the Schwaben, as they have not been able to beat Hoffenheim in their last four matches. On top of that, the hosts lost a two-game winning streak last week, which will forcefully see Pellegrino Matarazzo's men trying to go back to winning ways while thinking of closing in on Eintracht Frankfurt. Hoffenheim have not lost a game against Stuttgart at PreZero Arena since 2013, which will be a streak the white and red side will be looking to end.
