Bayern Munich is set to finish the season on a high note, sitting comfortably in first place in the Bundesliga standings with 79 points. The gap between Bayern and second-placed Bayer Leverkusen is 11 points, making it clear that Bayern are the champions once again. Having won the Bundesliga championship a record 34 times, Bayern remains the most successful club in German football history.

Bayern’s dominance and consistency have solidified their place among Europe’s elite clubs, and they are expected to claim victory over Hoffenheim in this matchup. 

On the other side, Hoffenheim has had a difficult season. Christian Ilzer, who took over as head coach in November, worked to stabilize the team and improve their position. Hoffenheim currently stands 15th in the Bundesliga standings, just above the relegation zone. Their fate is uncertain as they hope Heidenheim does not secure a surprise win in the final match, which could push Hoffenheim into the relegation play-off. This last game will be crucial in deciding whether Hoffenheim can maintain their Bundesliga status.

Holstein Kiel has endured a challenging season, winning only six out of 33 matches and suffering 20 defeats. Their inconsistent form makes it likely that they will struggle against Dortmund in this final battle.

Meanwhile, Dortmund enters this match full of confidence after a 4-2 victory over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Despite having only 37 percent possession, Dortmund efficiently converted five of their nine shots on target, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Key players Julian Brandt, Julian Ryerson, and Karim Adeyemi have been crucial to Dortmund’s offensive play, allowing them to overwhelm opponents with high-intensity action. Additionally, Dortmund’s strong defensive unit gives them the upper hand, making it difficult for Holstein Kiel to find scoring opportunities. With both teams having distinct goals, Dortmund aiming for a strong finish, and Holstein Kiel fighting to avoid relegation, this match promises high stakes and intense competition.

Leipzig currently holds seventh place in the standings, while Stuttgart sits in ninth, with only four points separating the two teams. Since both teams have competed closely throughout the season, they will fiercely contest this match. Both teams have had a decent finish to the season, but Leipzig holds a slight edge due to their home-field advantage. Throughout their 33 games, Leipzig has secured 13 wins and suffered only eight losses, putting them in a strong position to end the season positively.

Their attack was sharp, converting chances effectively, while their defense remained solid throughout the match. Key players delivered standout performances, strengthening their position in the standings. With confidence high, Stuttgart aims to finish strong, relying on its recent form to challenge Leipzig. Given their home advantage, this match could end in a draw or see Leipzig emerge victorious. Regardless of the outcome, the clash promises an exciting conclusion to the Bundesliga season.

In that clash, Frankfurt dominated possession with 73 percent, converting five out of 13 shots on target.

FSV Mainz vs. Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen will face Mainz in Matchday 34 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season, with the final showdown taking place at MEWA ARENA on May 17, 2025. Leverkusen currently holds second place in the Bundesliga standings with 68 points. While they had the potential to finish with a higher total, their recent dip in form has made things more challenging. However, they remain in a strong position and have better overall stats in both attack and defense compared to Mainz, which could give them an advantage in this match. 

On the other side, FSV Mainz heads into this clash after a dominant 4-1 victory over VfL Bochum. Mainz maintained 57 percent possession in that match and got eight out of 22 shots on target, showing their attacking potential. Mainz will carry this momentum into their encounter with Leverkusen, aiming for a competitive performance on both ends of the pitch. However, Leverkusen’s solid defensive unit may limit Mainz’s ability to score freely.
