Mainz and Köln both have nothing to play for going into the final game of the season, for Bayern and Dortmund on the other hand, it is a must win situation for both clubs. Bayern have a superior goal difference so if they win and Dortmund fail to pick all three points and the Bavarians win they would clinch their 11th Bundesliga title. But if Dortmund win, they are going ti be crowned champions for the first time since when Klopp was in charge.
Thomas Tuchel and the Bayern board would be under immense pressure, the season is already sub par for their lofty standards. Dropping out of the DFB-Pokal and the champions league is a disaster. Not winning the league which has become routine at this point just makes that worse.
Looking forward to a change in administration, for a change in management would be all too sudden.
