Will Borussia Dortmund succumb under pressure? Five games, or five victories, will bring the Millionaires their ninth title. They are looking for the first out of five this Friday at 9.30 PM EAT when they visit Bochum in the 30th round of the Bundesliga.Before entering the ‘photo-finish’ of the championship campaign, Dortmund have a point more than Bayern, and five more than Union Berlin. The Black and Yellows came back to the top spot in the last round, with a victory over Eintracht (4-0), but also thanks to Bayern’s defeat against Mainz (3-1).However, last time this season, which was also the previous time the first place was snatched, it was already lost in the next round. Then, in a direct clash with Bayern, Borussia were easily defeated 4-2.Only the heavens above could now prevent Bellingham from joining Real MadridCoach Edin Terzić has several footballers in his ranks who know what it’s like to be a champion. Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, Niklas Sule and Emre Can are now among the players who would have to carry the most weight and use their experience to help their teammates keep calm.It will certainly not be easy until the very end. Not even against Bochum, which are one of the weaker teams in the Bundesliga and are fighting for survival. They have not won in the last four rounds and are now the first above the relegation line with 27 points, two more than Stuttgart and three more than Schalke. For Bochum, therefore, every point is crucial.Dortmund will have to find a way to unlock Bochum’s defensive line. If they succeed at this, then everything will be much easier. Because the Blue and Whites have the worst defense in the league, they conceded 66 goals, the same as the Millionaires have scored. Of those, three were in their head-to-head clash, on November 5, when Borussia won 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park, with two goals netted by Youssoufa Moukoko.The only German who resisted Bayern is staying in DortmundAfter that, Dortmund and Bochum met once again this season, in the German Cup on February 8. Then the Millionaires triumphed 2-1 in Bochum – Can and Reus were accurate on that occasion.The biggest threat to the visitors tonight will be Takuma Asano. The Japanese is in good form, he recently scored a goal against Eintracht (1-1), and before that he recorded an assist in the triumph over Cologne (2-0). Asano is an important part of the team, seen in the last round against Wolfsburg, and when he remained on the bench in the first half, the Wolves took a 3-0 lead. Later it was 5-1. It was announced that Asano will return to the starting lineup tonight.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 30Friday 21.30: (6.75) Bochum (4.40) Dortmund (1.51)Saturday 16.30: (1.61) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.00) Augsburg (5.90)16.30: (1.45) RB Leipzig (4.60) Hoffenheim (7.50)16.30: (1.91) Stuttgart (3.50) M’ gladbach (4.40)16.30: (2.95) Union Berlin (3.40) Leverkusen (2.60)16.30: (2.55) Koln (3.35) Freiburg (3.05)19.30: (2.45) Schalke (3.50) Werder (3.10)Sunday 16.30: (1.17) Bayern (10.5) Hertha (17.0)18.30: (2.40) Wolfsburg (3.50) Mainz (3.20)***odds are subject to change***
