The final matchday also features fixtures with less at stake but no shortage of intrigue. SV Werder Bremen take on Borussia Dortmund, with both sides playing for pride and the possibility of squad rotation and attacking football. At Borussia-Park, Borussia Mönchengladbach will look to extend their impressive home run against a TSG 1899 Hoffenheim side still hoping to snatch a last-gasp Champions League spot. SC Freiburg and RB Leipzig may rotate their squads with their objectives already achieved, but Freiburg fans will be hoping for a memorable home send-off.
Rounding out the schedule, 1. FC Union Berlin host FC Augsburg in a mid-table clash, both teams aiming to finish on a high after encouraging results. 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 face 1. FSV Mainz 05 in a match with little at stake, but a chance to end the season on a positive note. In Munich, FC Bayern München welcome 1. FC Köln in a fixture shrouded in silence before kick-off, with uncertainty surrounding lineups and approach for this final day.
