Hoffenheim have conceded a league-high 66 goals in the Bundesliga this season.
No side has been ahead in fewer Bundesliga games this term than Hoffenheim (10).
Dortmund could set up a new club record by scoring at least once against Hoffenheim. Never have they managed to score more than their current tally of 80 goals within a single season (also 80 goals in 2011/12).
Robert Lewandowski could become the first Dortmund player to finish as the Bundesliga top goalscorer in a season since 2001-02, when Marcio Amoroso scored 18 goals.
Marco Reus scored his 49th and 50th Bundesliga goals last week against Wolfsburg. No other Bundesliga midfielder has scored as many goals since Reus debuted in 2009/10.

Bayern haven't lost any of their last 24 games in the top flight (W20 D4). Their club record existing was set between May 1988 and March 1989 (27 Bundesliga games without defeat).

The 22 point difference between Bayern in first and Dortmund in second is the biggest between any two neighbouring sides/positions in the table.
VfB Stuttgart - 1. FSV Mainz 05
Mainz won the reverse fixture earlier this season, despite their keeper Heinz Müller scoring an own goal to open the scoring (0-1). Nicolai Müller scored a brace to seal a 3-1 victory for Mainz (with Elkin Soto scoring the final goal).

Hannover's last victory over Dusseldorf in a competitive match came more than 20 years ago on May 12th, 1993 (2-0 home victory in the second division).
Dusseldorf will most probably finish in 15th position if they win this game (due to their better goal difference on Augsburg). A defeat, however, could result in direct relegation (17th position).
Hannover have collected more points in every Bundesliga season than this term under coach Mirko Slomka, even if they win this match.
Hannover haven't won any of their last four home games (L1 D3). That's their longest run of this kind in more than three years (eight home games without a victory in 2009/10).

There hasn't been a goalless draw between these two sides in 21 years (last 0-0 came in August 1992 at Nurnberg).
Against no other side have Nurnberg scored as many goals in the Bundesliga as against Werder Bremen (81).
Bremen finally staved off relegation last week and they will finish the season in 14th position.
Nurnberg are currently in 13th and they could climb as high as 9th with a victory over Bremen (depending on the other results).
Bremen will finish 14th this season, which is their worst placing in the final BL table in 33 years (17th in 1979/80 resulting in their relegation).
Bremen haven't won any of their last 12 games in the top flight (L6 D6) which is currently the longest such run in the Bundesliga.

When Christian Streich took over as coach in winter 2011/12, Freiburg were in 18th position and had the worst defensive record of all 18 teams. They have now kept 20 clean sheets in only 50 Bundesliga games under Streich.
Freiburg have already kept 13 clean sheets this season (like 2000/01). They could set up a new club record with a 14th clean sheet.

The last four meetings (Bundesliga and second division) between these two sides have resulted in a draw. Furth's last win in a competitive match against Augsburg came in April 2009 (2-1 in the second division).
Augsburg will most probably avoid relegation if they collect more points against Furth than Dusseldorf do against Hannover. They could be directly relegated if they lose and Hoffenheim win at Dortmund.
Augsburg have finished a BL matchday outside the relegation zone only once this season: on matchday three (15th).
Furth will go down in history as the worst performing home team in Bundesliga history: By losing their last home game against Freiburg last week (1-2), they became the first side in professional German football (i.e. Bundesliga, second and third division) to complete a season without a single home victory.
However, Furth have gained 17 points from their away games - never before has a team been relegated that picked up more points on the road than Furth this season (considering only seasons with 34 matchdays/18 teams).
Furth have won their last two matches on the road, whilst keeping a clean sheet in both games. Never in Bundesliga history has a team been relegated that won their last three away games.
Augsburg could win three consecutive Bundesliga home games for the first time in their history. They have kept a clean sheet in their last two (2-0 against Frankfurt, 3-0 against Stuttgart).

Sascha Lewandowski and Sami Hyypiä made their managerial debut on matchday 29 in 2011/12 against Hamburg (1-1). The duo will most likely split after this season (Hyypiä will go on alone with the first team while Lewandowski continues as youth coach for the club).
Sascha Lewandowski has the best points-per-game-average of all coaches in Leverkusen's Bundesliga history (1.95 points per game; considering only coaches with at least 10 games for Leverkusen).
Never before has a Leverkusen player scored as many goals within one campaign as Stefan Kießling (currently 24) who is fighting for the unofficial Bundesliga goal scoring title against Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski (23 goals).
Son and Rudnevs are Hamburg's top goal scorers in this campaign, they scored 24 goals (12 each) - as many as Leverkusen's Kießling has alone.
Against no other side has Andre Schürrle scored as many BL goals as against Hamburg (5; additionally 3 assists). He has been involved in eight goals in his seven Bundesliga meetings against Hamburg.
Eintracht Frankfurt - VfL Wolfsburg
Against no side do Frankfurt have a lower points-per-game-average in the Bundesliga than verus Wolfsburg (0.9 points per game).
Frankfurt haven't qualified for the Europa League in six years. They could become the first newly promoted side to directly qualify for Europe since Kaiserslautern in 1997/98.

Naldo is the top scoring player among all Bundesliga defenders this season (six goals). The Brazilian once scored a hat-trick against Frankfurt with Werder Bremen (6-2 in December 2006).
Dieter Hecking has set a new personal Bundesliga record, as his team haven't lost any of their last nine games.
Diego Benaglio (163 games) will most likely extend Wolfsburg's goalkeeper record of 163 Bundesliga appearances (set up by Claus Reitmaier). Never has a keeper appeared in more than 163 Bundesliga matches for Wolfsburg.
