Leverkusen preview: Losing the title race
With two draws in a row against Union Berlin and St Pauli, Leverkusen have dropped further behind Bayern Munich in the title race and they're now trailing them by eight points. Given that we only have four rounds left in this Bundesliga season, Leverkusen will likely fail to defend their title, but they still have a theoretical chance.
Xabi Alonso won't be able to count on injured Jeanuel Belocian, Alejo Sarco, Martin Terrier, Mario Hermoso, and Nordi Mukiele.
Predicted lineup: Hradecky (GK), Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie, Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo, Tella, Wirtz, Schick

Augsburg preview: Slim chance of getting to Europe
With three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six games in the Bundesliga, Augsburg have been in solid form lately. However, they are currently only in 10th place in the standings with 43 points, four points behind the first team that will secure a spot in European competitions. So, they still have a chance of getting involved in this race, but they are most likely bound for a mid-table finish.
Meanwhile, Mergim Berisha, Noahkai Banks, Yusuf Kabadayi, and Reece Oxford are on the team's injury list, while Arne Maier is suspended for this game.
Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Zesiger, Wolf, Jakic, Onyeka, Giannoulis, Jensen, Claude-Maurice & Essende
