Bundesliga final day: preview
It promises to be a fascinating final day in the Bundesliga, with something riding on five of the nine matches.
Starting from the top, the race for the fourth and final Champions League place has gone right to the wire. VFB Stuttgart looked well placed to seal a return to Europe's top club competition after one year away, but the form of Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen means there is everything to play for.
Fourth-place Stuttgart are level on points with Hoffenheim, with both clubs knowing that they will qualify for the Champions League if they better their rival's result. Stuttgart have a better goal difference by five but they face a tricky trip to eighth-place Eintracht Frankfurt, while Hoffenheim go to Borussia Monchengladbach, who start the day 13th.
If both sides lose, it will open the door to Leverkusen, who would climb two positions to fourth if they beat Hamburg at home. The consolation prize for the teams who finish fifth and sixth will be a place in next season's Europa League.

Expect even more drama at the bottom of the table, where Wolfsburg, Heidenheim and St Pauli are not just level on points but also barely separated on goal difference.
And that's not the only mouth-watering aspect of this final day, as St Pauli - who currently prop up the Bundesliga - entertain 16th-place Wolfsburg, knowing a victory would see them leapfrog their opponents and give them a great chance of climbing into the relegation play-off place. Even a win wouldn't guarantee safety, though, as they are locked on the same points and goal difference as Heidenheim.
The team in the best form of the three is Heidenheim, who have taken 12 points from their past seven games to give themselves a fighting chance. They will fancy their chances at home to mid-table Mainz.
Effectively, if any of these sides win on the final day they will have a great chance of survival, without it being guaranteed. That is even the case for the team who finishes 16th, as they will then have to worry about a two-legged relegation play-off with the side who ends up third in Bundesliga 2.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Champions League: VFB Stuttgart
Europa League: Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen
Relegation play-off: Heidenheim
Relegated: Wolfsburg, St Pauli
FourFourTwo expects the order to remain the same at the top, while Heidenheim should be hopeful of beating Mainz and may benefit from their two relegation rivals playing out a draw.
