The race to win the 2023-24 Bundesliga season is in full gear, and while Bayer's first league title in history seems like a lock, there will be a lot to sort out during the final weeks of the competition.
Only seven games stand between Bayer Leverkusen and their first trophy, and the real fight seems to be centered between Bayern and RB Leipzig, who are separated by three spots and ten points. All points won and lost will be critical to allocate all European competition spots for next season, and there could be a lot at stake for the final weeks of the season.
Additionally, the relegation battle is hotter than ever with four teams in danger of getting the drop to the 2. Bundesliga next season.
In terms of what to keep an eye this weekend, it is obvious to mention Bayer Leverkusen's relentless pursuit of their first Bundesliga title. Moreover, there will be a game between the No.2 and No.3 teams in the league which promises to be a real nail-biter!
Without further ado, here's what to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches.

Only a miracle could see them leapfrogging Bayer Leverkusen at the top, but even if their chances are slim, they will not go down without a fight. Their clash this weekend will see them lock horns against Heidenheim, a team they beat 4-2 in their previous match this season.

Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen - The league leaders return to action following an electric game where they came from behind in the final minutes. This week, Xabi Alonso's men will travel to face Union Berlin, a team that has only won one of their last five and who get to this game following a draw. The first match of the season ended 4-0 for the Aspirins, which could be a sign of things to come this Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund vs Stuttgart - Die Schwaben and the Black and Yellow will lock horns in a crucial match, where Stuttgart will try to defend their third place against Edin Terzic's men. A win for Dortmund would narrow the fight for third place to one point, but in order to do that, Dortmund will have to find a way to beat Stuttgart for the first time since 2022. Right now, the white and red side is unbeaten in their last three games against their hosts, and they will want to keep it that way to hold on to that third spot.
