Hopes for a Champions League finish remains alive for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga as they host Union Berlin. The match schedules for Wednesday at Signal Iduna Park, with kickoff at 9:30 pm.
Union Berlin remains fixated on qualifying for a Europa League spot with a win this week pushing them close, whereas a win pushes their hosts closer to Champions League football.
Even though Dortmund was crushed out of the Champions League last eight, their hopes of another Champions League football next season remain alive. It comes after an impressive 4-1 impressive win over Werder Bremen on Sunday.
The Yellow and Blacks are currently fifth on the Bundesliga with five points behind fourth-placed Wolfsburg. Leverkusen dropped points during their clash with defending champions Bayern Munich to ease any pressure with a two-point lead.
Adi Hutter’s men have a golden chance to restore their initial seven-point lead over BVB when they welcome home Augsburg. However, an unfortunate slip-up will only come as a motivation for the Yellow and Blacks. Edin Terzic looks set to leave the club with a DFB-Pokal win and a Champions League football for incumbent Marco Rose.
Meanwhile, Union Berlin continues to string a series of impressive performances, especially with a 2-1 at Stuttgart on Saturday. The win keeps their hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time in club’s history.
