One more game for Borussia Dortmund to see if they will make it to the Champions League next season or they will have to settle for Europa league and this will mainly depend on if Frankfurt will be able to defeat Frieburg or at least draw them. I more positive that Dortmund will beat Holstein Kiel in their next game. So far Borussia Dortmund and Frieburg has had equal records in their last 5 matches, 4 wins and a draw, although the last time Frieburg lost was against this very Dortmund in a 4 - 1 defeat. Dortmund will be hoping for Frankfurt to do them a favour and I seriously hope Frankfurt does it for them because I want to see Dortmund in the Champions League next season.

I assume Dortmund will finish in the top four of the Bundesliga, even if they have to rely on Eintracht Frankfurt. I think it would be very disappointing to see last season finalists fail to return to the Champions League next season. Holstein Kiel is an easy opponent for Dortmund to overcome, I predict the chances of an upset are very slim.

Dortmund first half of the season has had a very bad run of form, and so far they have suffered 11 defeats. Luckily they still have a chance to break into the top four. If Dortmund are ambitious to be title contenders next season, they must overhaul their squad depth and stop selling star players.

The fate of Dortmund qualifying for next season's Champions League is 100 percent in the hands of Frankfurt, for them I don't think Holstein Kiel will be a problem for as they can easily see them off with a win. If we track back to this Dortmund team, as we all know it, they had a bad run of form in the first half of the season and also in the early stages of the second half. There was a point in time were they were in 10th position and it wasn't even too long they started getting back to winning ways after the sack of Nuri Sahin. Even if they don't make it to the UCL next, for me considering how they were initially I would say they've done well. There's still hope for them but if it doesn't happen, they still tried.

The fate of Borussia Dortmund playing in next season's UEFA Champions League competition is in their own hands and not in the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt, the reason being that if Freiburg wins against Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund wins against Holstein Kiel, Borussia Dortmund will enter the 4th position in the Bundesliga league table because they have more goals forward than Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, which will be used to judge Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt if they tie on equal points. Borussia Dortmund just needs to beat Holstein Kiel to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
