Bayern Munich have lost the right to decide the Bundesliga title race to Borussia Dortmund. If Dortmund successfully seize the opportunity, they will end the era of Bavarian football domination.

Dortmund and Bayern Munich had an exciting chase on the Bundesliga 2022 - 2023 rankings. They took turns leading until the final rounds.
Round 33 could very well be the turning point of the season as Bayern Munich suffered a shocking defeat to Leipzig. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Borussia Dortmund won against Augsburg to take the top spot in the Bundesliga.
Currently, the Ruhr team is 2 points ahead of Bayern with 1 more round of the German National Championship. If the black and yellow team wins the final match of the season, they will officially win the Silver Plate after 11 years of waiting. However, due to being inferior to Bayern in terms of goal difference (+39 compared to +53), a draw is not enough for them to win the championship if Bayern wins in the same match.

If successful, this will be considered a miracle for Dortmund because for a long time, they have not had good results compared to their opponents. At the winter break, Marco Reus and his teammates were only ranked 6th - 9 points behind Bayern in the rankings. However, they took advantage of their opponents' decline, creating a spectacular comeback to turn the situation around.
It has been more than 10 years since Borussia Dortmund won the German silver plate, no other name can break into Bayern Munich's 10-year streak of consecutive championships. However, Bayern's superiority is at risk of collapsing. The club's board of directors fired Julian Nagelsmann and appointed Thomas Tuchel, which unintentionally upset the balance of the Bavarians at that time. They continued to play inconsistently, even in the decisive stages, they often lost points and as a result, lost the top position.
Borussia Dortmund will regain the Silver Plate if they beat Mainz 05 next. If they win, Dortmund will have 6 Bundesliga titles, second only to Bayern Munich's 31 titles.
The opportunity is great for coach Edin Terzic and his team because their last match will be played at home at Signal Iduna Park. Along with that, Mainz is Dortmund's "favorite" opponent and they have never lost to this team every time they have faced each other since 2020 until now.

Mainz have lost their motivation and are in a safe position in the Bundesliga standings. The team has been lacking in determination in recent rounds, as a result they have lost all four of their last rounds.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's opponent in the final round, Cologne, is also not rated too highly. However, because they no longer have the right to decide, the Gray Tigers, despite winning 3 points, still have to wait for Dortmund to stumble against Mainz 05.

| In the 2018-2019 season, Bayern beat Frankfurt to win the championship before Dortmund in the final round. In the 1985-1986 and 1999-2000 seasons, the Bavarian team also beat Bremen and Leverkusen in the final round. Even more dramatic was the 2000-2001 season, when Patrik Andersson's 90+4 minute goal against Hamburg helped them win the title against Schalke 04. |
