On Friday, Borussia Dortmund visit Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga (2:20 p.m. ET, stream live on ESPN+) with their season still hanging in the balance despite a pair of statement wins over VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig in recent weeks. In those games, we saw the real BVB stand up. But a draw against Mainz and defeat at Leverkusen saw Dortmund effectively drop out of the title race. Amid financial difficulties due to the pandemic, a squad with fluctuating form and an inexperienced, interim coach on the sidelines, the pressure's on to keep pace in the top four and secure Champions League football at the Westfalenstadion next term.
