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 don't think so. Because the way they play, constantly dropping point against teams that they should be winning comfortably, makes it very difficult for them to improve in the standings. Their lack of consistency and inability to capitalize on key opportunities against weaker opponents is a big problem. Additionally their defensive lapses and failure to convert chances in critical moments will further hinder their progress and reduce their chances of improving their position on the standings. To be able to improve on standings they need to address all these issues, improve their game management and maintain focus throughout all the matches.

Doesn't that mean Dortmund still have a chance to improve their position in the standings? What will be achieved depends on how much effort they put into improving their game. As you said, they dropped some points even when facing weak teams, if they can overcome that in the second half of the season, Dortmund can climb to at least the top 4 of the standings. It's not easy with what they're showing right now, but there's a chance for them to get it. It can also depend on the performance of other competing teams.
