St. Pauli picked up an important point in the Bundesliga relegation battle with a goalless draw in Bremen.
With a six-point gap to the barrage place, Hamburg are well on their way to avoiding relegation after 31 rounds. Meanwhile, Bremen, who had previously won four in a row, missed a good opportunity to move closer to the Champions League places.
Bochum only managed a 1-1 draw against Union Berlin in Sunday's second game and are now bottom of the table, four points behind the barrage place occupied by Heidenheim. Dieter Hecking's team will need a win in their clash with Heidenheim next Friday. A defeat would mean relegation.
