Current form: Borussia M'Gladbach vs BVB
Gladbach secured a 4-0 win over relegation candidates Nurnberg to keep themselves in contention for a Champions League berth. With Bayer Leverkusen lurking behind them in fifth, the hosts will be keen on trying to pick up maximum points from their upcoming showdown with Dortmund in order to guarantee they secure fourth place and a spot in next year's Champions League.
However, they will be taking on an opponent even more desperate for a victory, as a draw will not be sufficient for Dortmund.
Dortmund come into this game having won three of their last five matches and just two points behind Bayern. Unfortunately for die Schwarzgelben, their fate is not entirely in their hands. Lucien Favre's side will not only need to win this game, but also hope that Eintracht Frankfurt do them a huge favor and beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena for them to pip die Roten to the title.
At one point, Dortmund enjoyed a nine point gap over Bayern, but a series of frustrating draws in the second half of the season, coupled with Bayern's resurgent form, now have seen them slip into second. Nonetheless, for the first time in ages, the title race is set to be decided on the final day. Will Dortmund be able to pip serial winners Bayern to the title?
