Hoffenheim welcome Bayern Munich to PreZero Arena in their final Bundesliga fixture on Saturday.
Having picked up a 6-0 victory at Darmstadt last time out, the hosts are currently holding the final European spot and will be looking to fend off Freiburg, who are just one point behind.
The ousted Bundesliga champions, meanwhile, will look to wrap up an overall disappointing season with a second-place finish when they travel to Hoffenheim in what may or may not be Thomas Tuchel's last game in charge as the Bavarians' head coach.

Bayern Munich team news
Thomas Tuchel was struck by another double fitness blow in Bayern Munich's win against Wolfsburg, as centre-back Kim Min-jae and striker Bryan Zaragoza were both hooked off in the 75th minute due to ankle and calf issues.
Bayern are already set to be without a raft of stars in Leroy Sane (abdominal), Serge Gnabry (hamstring), Jamal Musiala (knee), Kingsley Coman (groin) and Raphael Guerreiro (ligament), as well as long-term hamstring casualty Tarek Buchmann.
Harry Kane's back issue could also end his season early, and if Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (illness) cannot prove his fitness in time for Saturday, teenage striker Mathys Tel should lead the attack.
