The race to secure Champions League football is hotting up in Germany and with three games left to play, time is running out for Bayer Leverkusen to break into the Bundesliga’s top four. Their 2-1 win over Cologne and Stuttgart’s 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen moved them to within two points of their goal but fifth-placed Hoffenheim are also on two points, so they need all the victories they can get if they are to break into the Champions League places. RB Leipzig, in contrast, look sure to be dining at Europe’s top table next term. Five straight wins has moved Ole Werner’s side five points clear of Stuttgart and Hoffenheim and within five points of second-placed Dortmund, meaning one more victory should secure their spot in the top four.
