The league winner and the relegated teams could be confirmed in the next round of the 2018/19 German Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich is a win away from another title-winning season after Franck Ribery came off the bench to score the insurance goal for Bayern in a 3-1 victory
Bayern is fully in the driver’s seat of the Bundesliga title race after their win against Hannover was increased in value when Borussia Dortmund blew away a two-goal lead against Werder Bremen. Bayern will retain the title for the 7th year in a row with a victory against RB Leipzig on Saturday, May 11, 2019.
Mainz fought to avoid defeat at home against RB Leipzig. Six goals were shared evenly between the sides.
Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim settle for a point from a 2-2 draw. Josip Drmic’s 84th-minute goal denied Hoffenheim a win that would have seen them climb above Borussia Monchengladbach in the league standings.
Hertha Berlin ended a run of 7 matches without a win after a ‘3-1’ home victory against Stuttgart. The results kept Stuttgart in the relegation battle.
Stuttgart, Nurnberg, and Hannover are the three candidates for relegation.
The goal for the bottom three teams in the final 2 matches of the season will be to get a second chance through the relegation play-offs.
Stuttgart will take the relegation-playoff spot in the league with a win against Wolfsburg in the next round. Another route for Stuttgart will be if all three teams suffer a defeat in the next round like they did in this round.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s position is under major threat after a first-half hammering received in Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt treated us to a very entertaining first half(that is if you’re not a Frankfurt supporter). There was very little chance for the second half to live up to the bid when the scoreboard read ‘6-1’ at the break.

All teams remain alive in the French Ligue 1. The title has been decided but nothing else has. After a really strong start to their season, Paris St. Germain are limping to the finish line with some poor results by their standards.
Edinson Cavani failed to convert a late penalty to get Paris St. Germain back to their winning ways.
PSG’s last 6 league matches consist of a single victory.
Saint-Etienne kept their Champions League dreams alive with a win at Monaco, while Lille took a massive point at Lyon to tighten their grip on direct qualification to the Champions League.

Huesca and Rayo Vallecano are relegated.
A back-up FC Barcelona side couldn’t handle a Celta Vigo team that is fighting to remain in the league for another season. Celta Vigo is unbeaten in their recent four matches.
A humiliating home defeat to Leganes might cost Sevilla a top-four finish in the league.
Levante helped themselves get further away from the threat of relegation by relegating Rayo Vallecano through a ‘4-1’ win.
Atletico Madrid suffered their biggest league defeat of the season at Espanyol.
A ‘2-0’ victory allowed Getafe tightened their grip on the final Champions League qualifying spot in the league whiling condemning Girona into the relegation zone.
Real Valladolid climbed out of the relegation zone through a ‘1-0’ win against Athletic Club. The results ended any dreams of Champions League football for Athletic Club in the coming year.
It was a ‘6-2’ hammering and a relegation for Huesca in front of their home supporters. Valencia is a win away from Champions League football.
