For sure it will be a very important game for Leipzig and Dortmund , and it will be the most interesting game on the coming weekend.
Both teams want to win to get the official Champions League spot to be secured.
Hopefully Dortmund will win this game against Leipzig.

But maybe the 5th place also will be good for it because of the next season changes for the Champions League.
Rumors going around that there will be 5 spots for some Countries

As things stands now both to me are safe for the champions league football next season, because first none of them is looking to drop from the top 5 as they are points gap of 8 points between them. Also the fifth placed team will automatically qualify for the champions league football next season base on the new format of 36 teams coming. One of the remaining spots was awarded to the Bundesliga mainly because of the progress of Bayern Munich and Dortmund to the semis of the Champions league, and Bayer Leverkusen to the semis of the Europa league.

Regardless of this both team will want a fourth place finish or a win over the rivals to keep their ego

That's good news if in every European league the top 5 are taken to enter the UCL, but still Dortmund and Leipzig will be an interesting match because we know that Dortmund has qualified for the semi-finals of the UCL this season and has to face PSG, so of course Dortmund will They really take care of their players so that no one gets injured when they face PSG in the UCL semi-final match. The fight for a position in the top four is certainly no longer something that is interesting if in fifth place Dortmund can re-enter the UCL next season.

But Dortmund must still win this match because they will of course be consistent at the end of this season by completing the remaining few matches, however, don't underestimate your opponent and Dortmund will certainly make this match something that must be finished with good results. a difference of two points and of course that will shift Leipzig's position if Dortmund is able to play as hard as possible and win so they can get the full three points in the next meeting, but on the one hand, Dortmund certainly doesn't want any of their players to get injured because it could be detrimental to them when they face PSG in the semi-finals.
