Even a draw would be enough for the visitors to book their place in the UCL after three years while the home side is playing for its maiden participation.Freiburg will most likely have to go for a win with all their forces today, as Borussia Dortmund are only one point behind. Given that the BVB host the already relegated Holstein Kiel, it’s hard to expect they’d drop points. Hence, they’ll be ready to punish Freiburg.It’s the final day of the Bundesliga, and all eyes are on the race for Champions League qualification. Dortmund could secure a spot with a draw at home against Holstein Kiel (17th).

Namely, they have three points more than Dortmund and a better goal difference, but only by three goals. Borussia’s triumph and Frankfurt’s defeat would seriously complicate things, as goal difference would ultimately decide.As one member of the trio, Eintracht, Freiburg, and Dortmund would have to settle for UEL, only one European spot, leading to the Conference League, is left.At the moment, Mainz hold it with the same number of points as RB Leipzig and a better goal difference by six goals. Yet, the crew from the west await Leverkusen, while the Red Bulls host the “uninterested” Stuttgart. Mainz have the advantage, but also a much tougher rival.You don’t negotiate with Bayern – either their way or highwayFinally, the aforementioned Kiel and Bochum are relegated, while Heidenheim are in the relegation play-off position. The first team above them, Hoffenheim, are three points up and have a six-goal goal difference edge. Yet, they play Bayern at home, while Heidenheim host Werder.
