Dortmund may still have a chance to improve their position in the standings, the points difference is also not far. But for the trophy competition, I think Dortmund may be a little behind. It will be difficult for them to catch Munich who are already leading or Leverkusen.
They missed a few seasons ago to win the title when their performance was good. And last season they experienced a decline in performance. At the moment, they don't seem much different. There is still a chance to improve their position, but I am not too surprised by what Dortmund will achieve.
I think this is a great opportunity for him, if Dortmund is wise, don't let this opportunity go by and win all the next matches to improve his position to establish himself in the standings. This is because they keep losing the match, they should improve in their next match and collect points and work hard for the trophy and get it. It is very difficult to weaken, so it is a difficult task for Dortmund. But it can strengthen itself and win this title by playing well. Keeping this in mind, Dortmund should make up for the weakness of the earlier season by playing well this season and winning matches. If they show the same weakness this season, it will be a lost quest for them. This should worry Dortmund because if they don't want to achieve anything, they will continue to be weak this season and will lose this season as well.
Dortmund chances of being involved in the Bundesliga trophy fight are very small, but they still have a big chance to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. Dortmund are already 11 points behind Bayern Munich, and 7 points behind Leverkusen, it is certainly not an easy job to reduce the points gap that has been formed. Nuri Sahin certainly has to work hard to secure the remaining opportunities, and it seems that Dortmund need to recruit new players in the January transfer market in order to be able to perform consistently and get back on track in the second half of the season.
