Dortmund are in a really interesting situation right now. They are four points behind Bayern Munich now and the rivalry is on again. And I see that these two teams are going to play one more time against each other in a month. If Dortmund somehow manage to get a good result in that match, they could turn the tide too. Now, they are going to be hoping for Bayern Munich to continue to make some more mistakes until that match. Dortmund's taking the lead is going to be depending on that and their consistency too.
With yesterday's victory from Mainz, again opening up dourtmoud's opportunity to compete with Bayern for the title this season, tomorrow night bayern will host union Berlin, maybe on paper Bayern can win easily, moreover they play at home, while dourmond will face Koln in week 27, if dourtmoud can play consistently until the end of the season I am very sure dourtmoud will be a serious threat to Bayern, hopefully dourtmoud remains consistent until the end of the season.

It is still hard for Dortmund to reach the championship of course. Bayern Munich are still advantageous now a lot. And Dortmund still don't seem to be trustworthy. Especially in the der Klassiker, I don't expect Dortmund to win that. They couldn't defeat Bayern Munih even in Signal Iduna Park. I don't think that they can do it in Allianz Arena while it is a very important game for Bayern Munich too. Dortmund will just hope that Bayern Munich continue to make mistakes in the other games. And Dortmund should keep up a good work in the meantime too.
They have to work harder if they really want this to happen.Although the possibility of this season is still there but it is very difficult to see Bayern step down in first position now.
Their only chance is to wait for Bayern to throw away their win in the remaining games of the season.
But it may also be difficult, against them now it's easy for Bayern in my opinion

Dortmund thankfully got the thing they wanted from the Mainz game. They were victorious by 1-0 at the end. And these three points are really important ones now. Because they are now only four points behind Bayern Munich officially. This is really exciting to me. We might finally see a real competition between Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the remaining time. But Dortmund really need to have a very consistent form from now on to keep up with them. Although Bayern Munich have started struggling, they are still the most reliable team.
Wow, yea, they actually did it and won the game. Looking at the remaining games, Bayern and Dortmund have fairly similar opponents (at least when looking at the current ranking). The next 2 games are against teams between ranks 4 and 8, and could be quite difficult for both teams (e.g. Freiburg vs Bayern in 2 weeks or Koln vs Dortmund next week or Dortmund vs Leipzig in 2 weeks). Then they'll have 2 "easier" games and after that they play each other in Munich. The last 3 games are relatively easy again.I still doubt that Bayern will lose many points in the remaining games. So the only way to beat them is to 1) also don't lose many points and 2) win the direct duel (which will be hard as Bayerns will play at home)

They had more chances towards the end in my opinion and fortunately they were able to win towards the end because it was a crucial minute and Dortmund managed to score there.
Thats how Soccer can be and is , specialy when it goes into the last 10 Minutes or 3 - 4 Minutes of the game and no goal is scored.The best example for that is Frankfurt as they have managed to win and score there goals the last weeks in the last Minutes.
And so they have done today in the Euro League against Real Betis , they scored the final goal in the last ( 120 Minute ) and now in the next round.
Yes, the match was a bit worrying and had made Dortmund fans a bit desperate because it almost ended in a draw. Finally, at the last minute, they could score 1 goal. Axel Witsel is today's hero. But on the other hand, Mainz also played well enough to suppress the opponent's movement, even though Mainz was not a superior team.
With this victory, the points between Dortmund and Bayern are also 4 points adrift.
Dortmund deserve the win. Despite the Fact that Mainz had so many scoring chances but couldn't convert one to goal, let's just say last night wasn't their winning game because they really put in much efforts to stand out against their opponents Dortmund, but all goal attempt resulted to no goal for them. The late minutes goal scorer for the Dortmund team was Axel witsel, he gave Dortmund the lead in the 87th minutes of the game and that's his first goal in 774 days in the Bundesliga. With this victory, the points between Dortmund and Bayern are also 4 points adrift.
Dortmund are very lucky that they were able to score full points. After the first half was over I thought the match would probably be a draw. But in the 87th minute, Axel Witsel's goal helped Dortmund to score 3 points. Expectations were higher from Haaland in this match. But Haaland's presence on the field was not well noticed. Haaland will have to play better if they want to win the Dortmund title.
Now that they are in equal games, we have just 4 points difference between the two team. They will face each other as well, which means that if Dortmund could win that game, the difference is one points, if they lose it then it is 7 points. So that game means so much for Dortmund. They can close a gap for 1 points, but doing that for 7 points would be terribly difficult at this stage.What I believe is that Bayern will still beat Dortmund and get the league, it looks like the most common and possible situation but at the end of the day this is football and anything could happen. We should avoid making any type of claims right now before the league ends.
Dortmund should have done better against Mainz. But they could not. Opponents are more difficult in their upcoming matches. In all four of the next five matches, their opponents are very difficult. Koln, Leipzig, Wolfsburg and Bayern. If they can win all four of these matches, Dortmund can win the title this season. Dortmund must win against Bayern Munich.
With these fixtures 2 away against Koln and Bayern and 3 home mean they are capable of winning 4 out of 5 which is also good even still not capable of challenging FC Bayern for this year's title, but we can watch good fight at the end of this season which is also good because after few years we have some challenge for FC Bayern for title race which is giving good impression even it's still not clear what's going to happen in next season because few teams have unpredictable behavior, so this can turn into good or bad both ways.Leverkusen, Dortmund and Leipzig these all can bring some good entertainment in this Bundesliga if they bring some more skilled players for challenging FC Bayern which is ruling this league for many years. For this season, I am still looking for some losing points from FC Bayern and good end for this season specially if Dortmund winning then it's big achievement.

Yep maybe their hope now is to hope that Bayern continue to make some mistakes and throw away points and do their best to keep winning because this is good enough in my opinion.Bayern have been at the top for a long time and frankly I'm quite bored to see them win here, hopefully there will be a new champion
Even though it's really difficult but the opportunity is still there for them now

Dortmund need to work on themselves as yesterday's game was not an impressive one tbh. Mainz are good but compared to Dortmund, they are no worthy rivals. Having a total of nine shots but none on target was not how coach Bo svennson envisaged the game to be but well, I feel they will do better in their next game with Arminia as they have only managed to win two out of five previous games.

Although Dortmund's performance was a little disappointing against Mainz, because Dortmund should have beaten Mainz with a higher score,
but at least Dortmund can win and get 3 points. That's what Dortmund need right now, which Dortmund need a lot of wins to be able to catch up
with the points owned by Bayern. Hopefully Dortmund can win again in the next match against Koln, because Koln has a better position than Mainz,
so Koln should be much stronger than Mainz. Even so, Dortmund's chances of being able to beat Koln are quite large. because the quality of the players
that Dortmund has is better when compared to Koln, so Dortmund should be able to beat Koln. Like you said Dortmund in the next few games will face
some strong teams, we'll see if Dortmund can consistently win, especially when Dortmund face Bayern at the end of April. Dortmund must not be defeated
by Bayern, if Dortmund lose to Bayern, it means that Dortmund is not yet worthy of being the winner of the Bundesliga trophy.
Dortmund winning in the last game is a big deal for their fans and an unexpected winning for the club and if they can sustain this present tempo in the performance the next game is going to be better.
Dortmund were lucky to score a goal in yesterday's match against Mainz. I thought the game would end in a draw without any goals. Now the gap to Bayern Munich is only 4 points. That makes it a bit more exciting. Dortmund will play against Cologne on Sunday. Bayern Munich plays the day before.
I stopped watching at that minute unfortunately there was a goal there even though I was happy with the result but it's a shame I didn't watch it until the end because I felt they would end in a draw and I would lose the bet there.Their chance to stick with Bayern is still there even though it is very difficult to win but at least the close points difference is a bit exciting because in the previous few seasons Bayern have always won by quite a distance.

There are 8 rounds left before the end of the championship and it is hard to expect that Bayern will not lose points at least in a couple of matches (taking into account the fact that they play in the Champions League and all their efforts will be directed to win it). But can we expect Borussia Dortmund to win all their remaining matches? I highly doubt it as at the moment it only wins 69% of its league matches.
But still they will find it difficult to destroy Bayern's Hegemony, which has ruled the Bundesliga for 9 seasons.
Even though they are now only 4 points adrift, it will still be very difficult considering that Bayern's opponents in the rest of this match can be said to be quite easy.
There are only Freiburg, Dortmund and Union Berlin that threaten there but it will be very difficult for them to lose

I have seen the review noe for the Dortmund game and i have to say that Dortmund has got more chances that Mainz.
And they was just unlucky for not score more goals and also have seen that Haaland is back and playing again.
Fingers crossed he get back to his very nice performance in the next games and maybe we will see a surprise for the title,
You could say they in this match are late for the heat in my opinion And they was just unlucky for not score more goals and also have seen that Haaland is back and playing again.

Good enough for the standings now as they are only 4 points behind and this will at least make Bayern wake up because in the last few games they have been too lazy with their draw
I want to say, the Dortmund team can win the title if Haaland plays well and scores. More than that, Bayern Munich need to lose points. Even if a strong team like Bayern Munich does not lose any points in the upcoming matches, it is not surprising. Bayern Munich have lost points in the last two matches. Dortmund will have a chance to win the title if Bayern Munich lose points in the next matches. However, Dortmund's future opponents are strong. They must score full points against Koln and Leipzig if they want to win the title.

Dortmund created many opportunities but did not succeed. But I was hoping to see better gameplay from Dortmund. Because Haaland was in the squad. I thought Haaland would score in this match. But Haaland did not play well. However, Dortmund will have to play better in the upcoming matches. If they are able to maintain the winning streak then they will be able to continue fighting for the title. Bayern Munich will not want to lose the title so easily.And they was just unlucky for not score more goals and also have seen that Haaland is back and playing again.

Mainz almost held Dortmund, they played tenaciously despite losing possession. but judging by the number of shots, it's the same as what Dortmund did.
The match is not so interesting, because the fight in the middle makes the ball always hit the opponent's defense. both teams may struggle to find gaps in each other's defenses.
It was way too close for comfort for Dortmund in my opinion because at the 87th minute in the match and against a team like Mainz, they should have done a lot better.
Not a great match for Dortmund, I obviously did not expect them to drop points in this match but I also expected them to play a lot better.
And they will have to play better if they want to give Bayern Munich a good fight. Mainz actually played better than I expected.
Dortmund are doing a good job recently. They won against Mainz too and dropped the gap with the leader to four points now. And I've started wondering whether they can make this gap even less to have a chance for the championship for real. Dortmund have seemed to be an inconsistent team in general. But they have a big opportunity ahead now to make up for their mistakes. If Bayern Munich continue to make mistakes like this, Dortmund can change something about the league finally. I mean they could end this domination of Bayern Munich.
You are right. Dortmund is really an inconsistent team. Although they are second in the table, they are not yet stable. But now I think they can solve their own internal problems. Haaland was out of the squad for a long time due to injury. Now he is back in the squad. With Haaland in form, Dortmund will be able to play consistently well again. However, if Haaland are not in form, they will not be able to bridge the gap with Bayern Munich.I want to say, the Dortmund team can win the title if Haaland plays well and scores. More than that, Bayern Munich need to lose points. Even if a strong team like Bayern Munich does not lose any points in the upcoming matches, it is not surprising. Bayern Munich have lost points in the last two matches. Dortmund will have a chance to win the title if Bayern Munich lose points in the next matches. However, Dortmund's future opponents are strong. They must score full points against Koln and Leipzig if they want to win the title.
