Bayern Munich finished the weekend 20 points clear in the Bundesliga and are now just three league wins from the title, while Eintracht Frankfurt stayed in the chasing pack after Sunday's draw at Hanover. If they win their next three matches, Bayern are set to be crowned German champions on April 6 at Frankfurt, who were held to a goalless draw at wintry Hanover in heavy snow. Despite claiming a point, Frankfurt drop to fifth following a fifth consecutive league match without scoring having only netted five goals in their eight games so far in 2013.

Hamburg moved up amongst the European places when they claimed sixth with a 1-0 win at VfB Stuttgart as Latvia's Artjoms Rudnevs hit the 50th-minute winner for his 11th goal of the season.

On Saturday, Bayern warmed up for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Arsenal by fighting back for a 3-2 win at home to Fortuna Düsseldorf. With both second-placed Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, third, losing, Bayern took the chance to extend their huge lead.

Schalke warmed-up for Tuesday's Champions League last 16, second leg clash at home to Galatasaray with a 2-1 win over neighbours and rivals Borussia Dortmund in Gelsenkirchen in the Ruhr derby.

The match on Friday (8.30 pm cet):
FC Augsburg - 1. FC Nürnberg 1-2 (1-1)

Schalke 04 - Bor. Dortmund - Hannover 96 2-1 (2-0)
