Now the championship race is more like among Bayern Munich, Union Berlin and Dortmund now.
Because the biggest gap among these teams is only three points. Union Berlin are the biggest surprise team in the season among them of course. They were even the leader previously but they lost a couple of positions due to starting a bad form. But still they made a big effort again and climbed to the second position. It looks like they are very determined to stay in this competition until the end. The championship run is just lovely in the Bundesliga now.
I think that Union Berlin is superfluous here. The only way it can stay here I see is this: Bayern and Dortmund continue their performance in the Champions League until the later stages, and Union Berlin loses to Ajax in the Europa League and completely concentrates on the Bundesliga. But even in this case, it will remain an underdog.
Maybe you will turn out to be right about that in time. Because Union Berlin haven't been in this kind of a situation all the time so far. There have been ups and downs for them during the season. I don't know how long they can keep up this chase for the league title. I just assessed the situation considering the current placements in the standings.
Dortmund are making me really surprised by the way. Normally the Bundesliga title is not their main target according to their vision. But now they are very close to the leader and let's see how things go in the coming weeks.
It's only 14 games left ... union berlin has proven that they are pretty consistent enough to at least finish the season at top 5 at least and get the champions league slot for the first time , they jad that ability for sure if you look at the 20 matches they have played.
I have no doubt that union berlin would keep going , despite to win the title it's a bit tough, finished top 5 might be guaranteed for them.
