Final day Bundesliga drama awaits Werder and Leverkusen

The Hindu  

Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen are bracing for their most important games of the Bundesliga season as relegation looms large over the former and a highly lucrative Champions League spot is on the line for the latter on Saturday's final matchday. Champion Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have secured three of the four Champions League spots and Leverkusen would have been in the driving seat for the fourth but for a shock 2-0 defeat at Hertha Berlin on Saturday. That loss allowed Borussia Monchengladbach to leapfrog it into fourth on 62 points, two ahead of Leverkusen, which must now beat Mainz 05 on Saturday and hope Gladbach slips up at home against Hertha. “For Saturday, there is only one goal and that is to win our home game against Mainz,” Leverkusen's attacking midfielder Nadiem Amiri said.
