While the German champions in the Bundesliga have already been decided, the relegation battle is really coming to a head. On Matchday 34, a scenario could arise that has never happened before in the Bundesliga

If Heidenheim win away at 1. FC Köln on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) and Wolfsburg and St. Pauli lose their matches, all three teams would be on 26 points before Matchday 34. This scenario is entirely possible, after all, the Wolves are up against Bayern Munich and St. Pauli have to face RB Leipzig

It is even possible that all teams could end up on 29 points after Matchday 34 if Heidenheim win both of their matches, St. Pauli beat Leipzig, and Wolfsburg pick up three points against the Kiezkicker on the final matchday. In that case, goal difference would decide relegation and the relegation playoff spot.
