The German Bundesliga after Round 26: Dortmund closes in on Bayern Munich.

GERMAN BUNDESLIGA

Augsburg {postponed} Mainz: Positive Covid-19 results have left Mainz without the minimum number of players required to play. Mainz also had their match with Borussia Dortmund postponed in the last round.

With a maximum of 24 points left for most of the teams in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is 7 points in the lead of the title race.
Dortmund is second with a game in hand that could make it a 4-point gap between them and the top of the table.

As things stand, Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Freiburg, and Hoffenheim are chasing the final two spots for direct qualification to next season’s Champions League.

Leverkusen’s position in third place is under threat after defeat to FC Koln.
RB Leipzig enters the ‘top 4’ after thrashing Greuther Furth.
Hoffenheim dropped down two positions to 6th after sharing a point with Bayern Munich.

At this point, the question is “Who is going down with Greuther Furth?”
Greuther Furth is 9 points from safety and the results are not looking good. They are surely heading back to the second division.
Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart, Arminia Bielefeld, and Augsburg are the strong contenders to go down with Greuther Furth.
