The Bundesliga suspended the season in mid-March because of coronavirus concerns but they already have plans in place to return.

The German Football League (DFL) made plans for the Bundesliga to resume this month. The games would have to take place behind closed doors and there would be regular testing of players and strict hygiene measures.

Can anyone challenge Bayern Munich? I like Borussia Dortmund's chances. This team won back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012 but since then, they have finished second four times, all behind seven-straight champions Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund is just four points behind Bayern Munich in the standings and with nine games left but they play each other one more time and that contest will be crucial. A Bayern Munich win will pretty much secure the Bundesliga title while a Borussia Dortmund victory will put them just one point behind the defending champions. A draw will leave things the way they are.

Borussia Dortmund’s attacking style and talent gives them a great chance to put up a fight. They have Jadon Sancho, who leads the team with 14 goals and 15 assists in 23 games this season. Also, veteran winger Marco Reus has 11 goals and five assists in 19 games and is playing at a high level and don't forget Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who has nine goals in just eight games with the team.

The blend of veteran experience and young hungry stars is why Borussia Dortmund can put up a fight and not let Bayern Munich escape with the Bundesliga easily.
