Werder Bremen were held to a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday in a further blow to their championship ambitions.
Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich (53 points) widened their lead at the top to seven points on Saturday with their 2-1 win over third-placed Bayer Leverkusen (44), while second-placed Hamburg SV (46) were held to a 1-1 draw at VfL Wolfsburg.
Schalke 04, who beat Hertha Berlin 2-1 on Sunday, are fifth.
Werder had been in the top three and on course for the Champions League until their recent slump.
Brazil playmaker Diego celebrated his first match back after a three-match suspension by converting a penalty in the 70th minute for Werder, his 11th goal of the season after Bielefeld defender Oliver Kirch put the hosts in front in the 14th minute.
In Berlin, Gerard Asamoah (12) and Jermaine Jones (23) scored early to put Schalke 2-0 in front. Sofian Chahed converted a penalty in the 67th. The defeat ended Hertha's six-match unbeaten streak.
