Bundesliga: The fight for Europe

Champions League : RB Leipzig, third in the table, has already secured qualification. 1. FC Union Berlin and SC Freiburg, who have the same number of points, are fighting for the last place. Both have 59 points, Union has a goal difference that is four goals better. Berlin welcomes Werder Bremen, Freiburg has to compete at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Europa League und Conference League: The allocation of places in the lower class European Cup competitions is more complicated. Union and Freiburg have at least fifth place and thus participation in the Europa League.

Bayer Leverkusen (50/in Bochum), VfL Wolfsburg (49/against Hertha BSC) and Eintracht Frankfurt (47/against Freiburg) still have chances of sixth place. The decision about the European Cup participants is still dependent on the cup final between Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt. One thing is certain: the bottom of the table will not qualify for the European Cup via the league.
