In general I think Dortmund's performance this season is poor and they should play much better. Nevertheless, the gap at the top is just as small as the gap at the bottom, because 6 points separate them from a Champions League place and that is absolutely possible to reach. But I don't think they will make it.
maybe things will be better in 2024. because the dortmund coach will now have a good co-coach . assistant coach Edin Terzić will be Nuri Sahin from January 2024.
Nuri Sahin has been coach at Turkish club Antalyaspor since October 2021 . now he is to support Edin Terzić . and ex-professional Sven Bender is also part of the coaching staff at borussia dortmund with immediate effect . i am now curious to see if there will be better results for dortmund in january and february . otherwise the club will not qualify for the champions league . there are still a lot of points to be won in the next 18 games . but i think dortmund will be in 2nd-4th place at the end of the season
Personally I think we got used to see Dortmund a very strong force in Bundesliga but lately they are not so strong at all and they also need to change a few players withing their squad because it's clear that something is not working.
I also don't think that they can achieve UCL spots this year or they will achieve it with a bit of luck and help from teams like Stuttgart ( who are 3rd place ) and Leipzig ( 4th place right now ) but it kinda looks like top 4 are already locked in.
