It all comes down to this! For many years, the German top tier was a competition where Bayern were certain to win the league and everyone else was just trying to reach the second spot. However, this season is different. After ten consecutive titles for the Rekordmeisters, Borussia Dortmund can finally break the habit and lift their first title since 2012. For Edin Terzic and his players to bring the title to the Westfalenstadion, they must beat Mainz today in the final matchday – or at least match Bayern”s result away at Koln. To avoid casting nervous looks to the Mungersdorfer Stadium in Cologne, the Bundesliga leaders need three points this afternoon.Bayern vs Dortmund title race this season [🎥 IG/@Bundesliga_EN] pic.twitter.com/E8BPXIImfR— Bayern & Die Mannschaft (@iMiaSanMia_en) May 25, 2023 A full house of 81,365 is expected in Dortmund, where BVB have won their last 11 Bundesliga games since drawing 2-2 with Bayern last October.After missing Dortmund’s 3-0 victory in Augsburg due to knee problems, Jude Bellingham should be back to help his team win. For the second game in a row, Sebastien Haller scored twice, and he can once again rely on Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, and Donyell Malen to provide the ammunition. BVB have scored three goals or more in five of their last six league games. If they can find their shooting boots today, Mainz will have no chance to resist.##NAJAVA_MECA_7283841##The Yellow-Blacks have had an up-and-down season, but they hit the right form just when it was necessary – a trait which was seldom associated with this team in the past decade. This season, they’ve topped the table ahead of just three matchdays, while Bayern were top for 22 matchdays. But it’s all about who will top the table tonight!##NAJAVA_MECA_7283830##The Bavarians have dropped points from a winning position eight times this season (D5, L3). It’s their biggest concession of points (19) when leading games since 1991/92’s 10th-placed finish. They have been flimsy this year, but they could still take the title on the final day – something they’ve succeeded twice before, overtaking Werder Bremen in 1985/86 and Bayer Leverkusen in 1999/00 – both times on goal difference.Head in England – heart in Germany: Old coach will cheer for BVB in their Bundesliga deciderElsewhere in the Bundesliga, there is a lot to play for. Union Berlin and Freiburg can still join BVB, Bayern and RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League. Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt are battling for two places in the Europa League, while Schalke, Stuttgart, Augsburg and Bochum still have a chance of avoiding relegation.However, the eyes of the world will be firmly on the title race, particularly the game in Dortmund. You can be assured of a memorable atmosphere there – especially if the home team gets the much-desired win.BUNDESLIGA – FINAL DAYSaturday16.30: (1.49) Union Berlin (4.40) Werder (7.25)16.30: (1.63) Stuttgart (4.65) Hoffenheim (5.20)16.30: (1.73) RB Leipzig (3.90) Schalke (4.70)16.30: (1.37) Wolfsburg (5.90) Hertha (9.50)16.30: (2.40) M’ gladbach (3.60) Augsburg (3.10)16.30: (7.75) Koln (5.10) Bayern (1.40)16.30: (3.25) Bochum (3.60) Leverkusen (2.19)16.30: (1.21) Dortmund (8.00) Mainz (14.0)16.30: (2.55) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.60) Freiburg (2.90)***odds are subject to change
