Dortmund is in the 5th position right now. The past few weeks have been pretty bad for them. In the last 5 matches, they have only 1 win. They have 3 draws and one loss other than that. That is definitely not good enough from them. Now if I were asked if they will be able to finish in the top four or not, I would probably say that it is possible, and maybe even probable. But the way they are performing right now, it doesn't seem like they will be able to have consistent performance in recent future. So I wouldn't be so confident about them as well.
It must be admitted that in the last few matches Dortmund has experienced a decline in performance so that they are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings. Dortmund's recent bad situation is because the players are selfish, all of them play very disgustingly, you could even say they don't play as a team, this is Dortmund's weakness this season, they have been solid. Edin Terzic must realize this mistake and he must continue to improve so that he can compete for the top four because otherwise next season they will not be in the UCL League. Indeed, the league is still long but changes must still be made by Edin Terzic to be able to bring Dortmund back on track. as it should be.
Dortmund performance this season is quite different from the previous season because they are not very strong in the domestic league but they are quite strong in the Champions League. I think this is a pretty good turnaround for Dortmund because if they can progress further in the Champions League, of course they will be quite successful in the Champions League compared to their performance in the Bundesliga. But they still have to improve to get back into the top 4 rankings. When comparing the performance of Bayern Munich and Dortmund this season of course Dortmund is not able to compete with Bayern munich like they did in the previous season because Bayern Munich is very strong this season while Dortmund cannot maintain their best quality this season.
Leverkusen deserves to be called a strong challenger for Bayern Munich this season and if Bayern lose their best form then Leverkusen will easily become champions this season. Even though Leverkusen chances are still quite small, they are the most consistent team so far so that Xabi Alonso team is very much taken into account in winning the title this season. Bundesliga matches will start again on january 13 so there is plenty of time for Bundesliga teams to take advantage of the time to improve their quality when matches start again.
