Bundesliga title favorites Bayern Munich will take on relegation-battling FSV Mainz in the league on Saturday.
The Bavarians will hope to collect all three points to seal the German title.
Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the table to 10 points after beating Bayer Leverkusen. They were given a helping hand by Koln, who beat Leipzig in what was an upset.
Mainz also won their last game against fellow strugglers Werder Bremen, and the victory will help them in the coming weeks as the battle to survive heats up.
With just four more games remaining, Bayern can seal the title with one win from their remaining games. Mainz, on the other hand, still have a lot to play for as they aren’t safe.
