(CNN) -- Bayern Munich cut Borussia Dortmund's lead at the top of the Bundesliga to three points on Saturday with a 1-0 win at Nuremberg.


Dutch winger Arjen Robben scored the winner in the 69th minute to increase the pressure on Dortmund who dropped points at home in a dramatic 4-4 draw against Stuttgart on Friday.


With six games remaining this season, Bayern now have 60 points to Dortmund's 63, with the two teams meeting at Westfalenstadion on April 11 in what could be a title decider.


Third-placed Schalke will be looking to bounce back against Hoffenheim on Sunday after losing 4-2 to Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League on Thursday.


Fourth place Borussia Moenchengladbach travel to Hanover.


At the other end of the table time is running out for Kaiserslautern to avoid the drop as they went down 1-0 at home to Hamburg.


Marcell Jansen's 28th-minute goal for the visitors lifts them out of the bottom three and up to 15th.


Hamburg are replaced by Cologne who went down 2-1 at Augsburg.


Freiburg are up to 13th after a 2-0 win -- their third win in a row -- against Bayer Leverkusen.


The defeat keeps Leverkusen sixth place in the table, level on points with Stuttgart (5th) and seventh-placed Werder Bremen who were thrashed 3-0 at home by mid-table Mainz.


Wolfsburg also join the trio on 40 points, rising to eighth after a convincing 4-1 away win at second-from-bottom Hertha Berlin.
