Overview
- Stuttgart and Werder Bremen drew 1-1 on Sunday at the MHPArena, with Jens Stage scoring in the 18th minute and Ermedin Demirović heading an equalizer in the 61st.
- Results across the weekend raised the pressure on Stuttgart as RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim, and Bayer Leverkusen all won, shrinking the margin for error with three matches left.
- Stuttgart remain level on points with Hoffenheim in fourth and still must face Hoffenheim and Leverkusen, fixtures that are likely to decide a Champions League place.
- Werder Bremen’s point moved them six clear of the relegation play-off spot, their first point this season against a current top-five side and a boost to their safety push.
- Borussia Dortmund can clinch a Champions League berth later Sunday with a home win over Freiburg, who are juggling league play with a Europa League semi-final.
