TSG Hoffenheim – SpVgg Greuther Fürth (Sunday, 5.30 p.m.)
Duels in the Bundesliga: In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim is unbeaten against Greuther Fürth (two wins, one draw). The first leg was the highest-scoring game of the 2021/22 season. Hoffenheim won 6-3 in Fürth.
What else you should know: Say goodbye quietly when you say goodbye – the Fürthers have been on a farewell tour of the league for weeks. The “Kleeblatt” played a surprisingly solid second half of the season, but however you twist and turn it with the underdog from Franconia, the mortgage of the first half of the season with only five points weighs too heavily.
The Fürth will be relegated on one of the next matchdays. Theoretically, it could already happen on Sunday: If two of the direct competitors from Bielefeld, Stuttgart and Berlin win and Fürth lose in Hoffenheim, nothing is mathematically possible anymore.
Bayer Leverkusen – RB Leipzig (Sunday, 7.30 p.m.)
Duels in the Bundesliga: Bayer won only two of the eleven Bundesliga duels against Leipzig. The Werkself’s record is only worse against Bayern than against RB.
What else you should know: Games for third place are often thankless, but not in this case: Bayer Leverkusen (third place, 52 points) and RB Leipzig (fourth place, 51 points) are separated by just one point before the game. The winner in the Rhineland would be very close to the premier class with four games left.
The momentum is clearly in Saxony: RB Leipzig is the best Bundesliga team in 2022. With nine wins, two draws and a narrow defeat at Bayern Munich, Domenico Tedesco’s team is playing an outstanding return series. However, the people of Leipzig have a tight supporting program: on Thursday they were successful in the Europa League at Atalanta Bergamo, on Wednesday they continue in the DFB Cup semi-final against Union Berlin.
