Final-day permutations

As things stand, Heidenheim will finish 16th and contest the play-odd against the third-placed team in Bundesliga 2. The only way they can avoid that is if they win and Hoffenheim lose to Bayern in a way that overturns the six-goal difference between them. As mentioned earlier, Bremen's top-six hopes are all but over.

Watch: Bremen 3-3 Heidenheim - previous meeting

Heidenheim's trademark resilience was there for all to see as the Bundesliga minnows thrice came from behind to draw a six-goal thriller at the Weser-Stadion on Matchday 17. They're now unbeaten in three top-flight meetings with the Green-Whites, having won home and away in 2023/24.

Watch: Union Berlin 0-3 Heidenheim - highlights

Heidenheim no longer have automatic relegation to worry about, thanks to a swashbuckling win in the capital and defeats for Bochum and Holstein Kiel, who are down. Frank Schmidt's team will likely contest the play-off, but there is still a slender chance of them securing outright safety with three points on the final day - if 15th-placed Hoffenheim lose big to champions Bayern Munich.

Watch: Bremen 0-0 Leipzig - highlights

Werder's hopes of playing in Europe next season are all but over after last weekend's goalless draw with top-six rivals Leipzig. Even if they win and Leipzig and Mainz lose on the final day, it's going to take an improbable swing in goal difference to lift them into sixth place.
