Bayern Munich can secure a 34th Bundesliga -Kroon on Saturday in RB Leipzig, but the race for Europe among them is warming up.
Vincent Kompany is about to recover the top title for the German record champions in his first season, a year after Bayer Leverkusen won a Surprise League and DFB-Pokal in an unbeaten domestic campaign.
Bayern currently has an eight -point advantage compared to the ruling champions, after he has collected 75 points, with Leverkusen in second place with 67 before he travels to the fourth -placed Champions League Hoopvol Freiburg on Sunday.
Harry Kane, the top scorer of Bayern, wants the first title of his career countries, but he is suspended for Saturday's game after a precious booking against Mainz last week.
They will win the title if they beat Leipzig fifth placed, or if they don't win, they will achieve the top spot on Sunday if Leverkusen will not do their result better.
Bayern has only lost one of their last 10 competitive matches at Leipzig (W4, D5): 2-1 in the Bundesliga in March 2018. They only lost two games throughout the season (W23 D6).
With the top two places packed, there are at least five teams in a fight for a top-four finish that leads to automatic Champions League qualification.
Eintracht Frankfurt, who faces European hopeful Mainz on Sunday, his third at 55 points, four ahead of Freiburg, and are almost certain of a Champions League place.
Freiburg is currently the favorites to complete the top four, according to the OPTA Supercomputer, with 40.9%.
Borussia Dortmund, given a 26.4% chance of finishing fourth, is sixth with 48 points, three behind Freiburg, and has passed a domestic season of the roller coaster.
From the label as early title candidates, they are now fighting to secure a Champions League spot to save something from another disappointing campaign and to organize Wolfsburg on Sunday.
Dortmund has won four of their last five Bundesliga matches, with coach Niko Kovac and his players convinced that they can still end up in the top four.
In fact, they have collected 19 points of nine games since the start of MatchDay 23 (W6 D1 L2), with only Bayern and Leverkusen who claim more during this period (20 each).
“What has characterized us in recent weeks is that everyone wants the success of the team,” said defender Waldemar Anton. “That is how we got our faith back.
“We just held it, and that's why I am happy that we still have a realistic chance.”
On the other side of the table, the curtains can be for Bottom Club Bochum if they lose Friday's relegation fight in Heidenheim, who are four points above them in 16th place and on the play-off spot of the relegation.
