There are clubs like FC Schalke 04 that are struggling to recapture the leading division. The rivalry is stiff as there is a small difference between the top teams. Each game is now of great significance.
The league is notorious in terms of uncertainty. This season is demonstrating that about once more. There is a slim gap of two points between five teams almost at the top of the table. There will be two automatic promotion places. A third group has still the chance to pass a playoff.
The teams in the middle of the table are not safe as well; even on their current position of around the ninth best, are keeping their heads over their shoulders. The difference between danger and safety is minimal. One or two bad performances would turn it all around.

The expectations of the fans are high before the season comes to an end. Close call and unexpected outcomes can be expected. The ranking would change fast each week.
The final stretch is also being well prepared by the coaches. The success of teams can be determined by the squad depth and fitness. Minor details might count. The last months are going to be exciting at the table. The relegation battle and promotion fight is still open. The second part of Bundesliga is nearing an exciting completion.
