Bayern Munich host bottom side Hannover on Saturday afternoon looking to move a step closer to the Bundesliga title.
Bayern know a win would put pressure on rivals Borussia Dortmund, who are two points behind and play Werder Bremen later that evening.
However, Niko Kovac’s side could not take advantage as they only managed a share of the points at second-bottom Nurnberg.
“At the end of the day, you have to say our performance did not match up to expectations before the game,” Kovac told the club website.
“We gave the ball away too easily and there were too many lapses of concentration, which we don’t normally produce as a rule.
“It’s relatively easy to make the calculation and you don’t need to have studied advanced mathematics.
“We have to pick up seven points if BVB (Dortmund) win all of their last three games.
“Tick it off and move on. We’ve still got three finals left.”
