Story so far

    Having occupied the runners-up spot since Matchday 6, BVB have not given up hope of catching FC Bayern München .After a difficult 2014/15 campaign, Thomas Tuchel’s Dortmund roared out of the traps in August, winning eleven games in a row in all competitions (in the Bundesliga, DFB Cup and UEFA Europa League).BVB have started the new calendar year in similar fashion. Indeed, Die Schwarz-Gelben are the only Bundesliga team yet to lose in 2016.Only Robert Lewandowski (25) currently has more goals than 2015 African Footballer of the Year Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this season.

Still to play for

    Dortmund have already secured a top-four finish, but a berth among the top three would secure a return to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.League leaders Bayern, who hold a five-point lead at the top of the division, host Champions League hopefuls FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the coming weeks. If the record titleholders slip up, BVB are well-positioned to pounce.Dortmund are still competing on three fronts, having reached the semi-finals of the DFB Cup and the last eight of the Europa League.
