Summary: Bochum - Borussia Dortmund 1:1 (Sport1)

Bochum - Dortmund 1:0
Precisely after defeating Frankfurt 0:4 in the previous round and rising to first place with the help of Bayern Munich's loss to Mainz, Edin Trezic's team dropped two valuable points that give the champions a chance to regain the top spot, if they beat Hertha Berlin on Sunday.
In the last 20 seasons, only one team (Schalka in the 2006/7 season) that was at the top of the table at the start of the 30th cycle did not win the championship - Borussia Dortmund may become the second.
Anthony Lucille scored in the fifth minute for Bochum, who are struggling against relegation.
Karim Adeyemi equalized two minutes later, but the yellow-blacks were unable to complete a turnaround and ended a sixth consecutive away game without a win in all competitions.

Leipzig - Hoffenheim (Saturday, 16:30, integrated in Sport3)
The 2:0 loss to Leverkusen in the previous round took Leipzig out of the Champions League promotion picture, so three points in the upcoming game are most needed for Marco Rosa's team.
Hoffenheim, which lost the last three meetings with Leipzig and comes after surrendering at home 3:1 to Cologne in the last round, is under pressure due to the real danger of relegation, as only four points separate it from the 16th place leading to the tests.
Mons Davor returned from suspension and played one half against Cologne, while on Saturday the Israeli striker will look for his first league goal since February 4th.

Union Berlin - Leverkusen (stroke, 16:30, integrated in Sport3)
Although the team from the capital maintained a chance of historic qualification for the Champions League thanks to a 0:1 over Münchengeldbach on Sunday, and has not been defeated at home in 20 consecutive league games, but the day after tomorrow they will meet the hottest team in Germany.
Xavi Alonso's team has not lost 13 games in a row in all competitions, and before the victory over Leipzig mentioned above, they advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League with a huge 1:4 at the Belgian Union Saint-Gilloise.
The yellowed Kevin Behrens will be absent from Union Berlin and Jordan Sibacho is expected to start in his place.
Berkusen will miss Nadim Amiri, who also earned five yellow cards, but Florian Wirtz has recovered from an illness and should sit for the 11.
