You said it " for now " Dortmund is on a safe spot , and i dont think that it will be that bad that they get into the relegation zone.
But if they want to play next season again in the Champions League they have to improve there playing and win games.
It was mostly disappointing what they have showed the last weeks in the German League and for that Darmstadt can be struggle them maybe.
Anything can happen that is why I have said it, for now, they are in a great spot and probably they can get into the relegation zone but Dortmund is really holding on to the Europa League Group Stage position I just wish that they don't end up like Union Berlin, for sure if they continue selling of good players they may not get left with players that are worth the keep, they are risking their position though, they surely get a huge amount of money by selling off their best players but they are risking their position in the Bundesliga,
An interesting match after this break is the match between Freiburg vs Union Berlin. I must say that this season both Freiburg and Union Berlin are in decline, but Union Berlin is in a much worse decline than Freiburg. In the last 5 matches played by Union Berlin they could only record 2 wins, and the rest ended in disappointment, 2 defeats and 1 draw and made their position in 15th place, only one level at the safety zone limit.
Freiburg themselves are actually residents in the European zone zone, but now they are ranked 8th in the standings. Both clubs want to get the best results, because it can make them even better in terms of position. But it is not that easy for them to get points, because they have to beat each other.
For sure Union Berlin is the worst in this kind of situation in the Bundesliga, right now if they continue being like this they will get into the relegation zone for sure, but if they hang on in that position until the end of this season they are still safe, for now, Freiburg now had a rough time but Still hanging on to the middle of the position is a good position in the Bundesliga right now than in the bottom like Darmstadt and in the 15th position like Union Berlin where if they even further below they will be in the relegation zone for sure only 3 points was all Mainz needed to get into Union Berlin's position right now,
They are 6 points away from the club in the top 4 currently occupied by Leipzig. That's a pretty tiring distance to chase, but considering the number of matches remaining in the Bundesliha there are still a lot of points that are still very much in the chase. I think to be in the top 4 is still very doable, but I doubt if chasing the top of the table, because their point gap is now far away, and with the appearance of the club that occupies the top position, it looks like an impossible thing to do.
Indeed in football nothing is impossible, as long as there is still a chance as long as they still have a chance, but we also have to be realistic with what is happening at this time. Moreover, the ones they are chasing are also among the clubs that dominated the league for more than a decade.
Actually, we still have plenty of time and most of the teams are aware that they still have time to prepare so they can take this opportunity to think further about what they have to do in this circumstance, as teams now are depreciating faster than we ever imagine I think this is because of the sudden growth of SV Leverkusen and because the other teams only have Bayern Munich to think about last season this sudden change have made other team dull, comparison with the Leverkusen increasing performance, and many think that it could just be a Union Berlin kind of thing back then but it is not Leverkusen is legit strong and thanks to Xavi Alonso that is,
