In the all important title decider on the road against Bayer Leverkusen the club lost 3-0. Stanišić, Álex Grimaldo and Frimpong contributed to the scoreline.

Šeško scored the only goal for the visitors. Leverkusen’s lead on top of the table extended further as they dropped points against Freiburg on the road. Musiala and Tel got a goal for themselves in the 2-2 scoreline.

Die Nullfünfer, despite taking a few crucial points in recent games, need to do much better if they are to stay up in the Bundesliga. In their home fixture against Union Berlin, Burkardt scored near the halftime mark in the fixture. However, Gosens scored just seconds later to equalise for the visitors. The scoreline would remain the same as the game ended 1-1. Ajorque’s late consolation goal could not help the visitors in an away fixture against stuttgart who secured a 3-1 win.
In the home fixture against Augsburg, van den Berg made himself the hero by scoring the only goal of the fixture.In the club’s away fixture against Bayer Leverkusen, they did well to hold the hosts for long. However, it proved worthless as the hosts registered a 2-1 win, in a contest where Kohr equalised early in the match. Their most recent fixture ended in a 1-1 draw as Gladbach found an equaliser for the visitors following Burkardt ‘s early opener.
