Munich - Not for the first time, the battle for survival went right down to the wire on the final day of the Bundesliga's 50th season. Ahead of Matchday 34 Fortuna Düsseldorf were safe in 15th place, with FC Augsburg occupying the play-off spot and 17th-pace 1899 Hoffenheim odds-on to join bottom club Greuther Fürth in Bundesliga 2.

Augsburg had the "easiest" assignment on paper as they played host to already-relegated Fürth, while Düsseldorf travelled to Hannover 96 and Hoffenheim faced a herculean task away to UEFA Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund.
