On the last day of the Bundesliga, things will get hot in the relegation battle, with VfL Bochum right in the middle. We take a look at the various scenarios that would give the Ruhrpottklub relegation.
On Matchday 34, things could hardly be more exciting in the Bundesliga, almost all decisions in the race for the championship, Champions League, Europa League and against relegation are still pending.
Realistically, four teams are still involved in the relegation battle: in addition to VfL Bochum, these are also FC Augsburg, VfB Stuttgart and FC Schalke 04. Hertha BSC is already safely in league two, Hoffenheim could only mathematically slip into the relegation place.
VfL will face Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Saturday. But what exactly would have to happen to keep the class? And when would Bochum end up in the relegation or the 2nd Bundesliga? You can find out here.
