With three matches remaining for all 18 Bundesliga clubs, there’s clarity at the very top and bottom but plenty to sort in the races to qualify for Europe and avoid the relegation playoff.
[ RECAP: Man City 5-0 Swans ]
We focus on the latter here, with all three teams on 30 points losing away from home this weekend, including one to the 17th place side in Germany.
Hamburg 1-0 Freiburg
Lewis Holtby scored a 54th minute goal to keep the hosts’ slim survival hopes alive, and USMNT forward Bobby Wood got into the match for the final 23 minutes as Hamburg scooped up a rare win.
Augsburg 2-0 Mainz
The visitors had more of the ball but couldn’t rebound from a 29th minute Michael Gregoritsch goal, allowing Alfred Finnbogason to seal the result in stoppage time.
Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg has a hefty edge on Mainz and Freiburg in terms of goal differential, but won’t be feeling too confident after watching Lars Stindl, Raffael, and Christoph Kramer all score before halftime.
