With the remaining games, Bochum still has a chance to be in the safe zone. However, it will be difficult for them to do so, because they still have to win the game if they want to go to safety, and that requires a defeat from the team above them.

They need luck to be in the safe zone, and we will see if they will be lucky enough or not.

At a pressure, it remains possible for them to pin their hopes on achieving the results they desire as long as they do not lose hope. Therefore, every game is a chance to come closer to the goal with high dedication and huge spirit. Each of the steps can be described as filled with difficulties however each of the steps can lead the team closer to the safe zone. Thus, having the utmost optimization of every chance possible and pushing forward to the fight, I believe that there is always a shot in the dark that can be pulled. They will succeed if only they persevere more and do not quit early.

With 8 games to go, the potentially toughest games where Bayern could lose points are:
Dortmund (home) - they're doing pretty bad in the league but can still be dangerous if they show up motivated for their biggest rivals.
Mainz (home) - Mains is currently ranked 3rd.
Leipzig (away) - Leipzig is 5th, they have some dip in performance but showed some signs of improvement in their recent win against Dortmund.

Unless something goes really wrong with the team, I don't see Bayern losing 6 points till the end of the season. If they keep their performance on a consistent level, statistically they're expected to lose 4.94 points before the season comes to an end. And even if Bayern trips, Leverkusen winning all the remaining 8 games is highly unlikely. But, nonetheless, they should keep trying.

They have to focus in every match, because victory is something they must get, yes even though in reality it will definitely be very difficult to get it all.

Not giving up, that's the point, because if they give up, then don't expect them to be able to get something good in the match they play. In other words, they must have a mentality of believing that they will be able to achieve something they want.

With the remaining matches that bayern munich is going to play next sm particularly afraid because in the next three games it's not going to be easy for bayern munich because coming up against their bitter rivals Dortmund in the league is something that is not going to be an easy one for bayern, the games that are lined up for bayern munich is are games that are tough because Mainz and Leipzig by current form are not teams that bayern munich can easily win  so in the next three games Leverkusen should be in their best and not drop any point because i see bayern dropping points in the Next three matches in the bundesliga table

Last season, the Bundesliga was lucky to get an additional slot because they managed to become a league that met the criteria to get an additional slot to play in the Champions League, that's what ultimately made Borussia Dortmund successful even though they were in 5th position.

This season I don't know if they will get the same thing again or not, but what is clear is that the top 4 must be secured if they want to go to the Champions League.

That will depend on the performance of the remaining teams that is from the bundesliga bayern munich and and Borrisia Dortmund in the champions League if they perform well and go far in the competition they will likely maintain their position but they get eliminated all in the next stage of the competition they will likely come lose that sport that they will have that usually plays the play off to go through to the champions league

Dortmund is a tough team for Bayern but I believe that Bayeen will be able to achieve al three points in that match. Bayern winning the league is not that certain and for that reason, I believe that they will take the rest of their matches serious to avoid any threat from Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga is out of the race for an extra UCL spot next season.
The Premier League still leads the UEFA coefficient rankings with 22.178 points, despite Man City and Liverpool exiting the UCL.
Arsenal and Aston Villa advancing move England closer to confirming the 5th spot.
That spot could be confirmed based on the games involving Man United, Spurs, and Chelsea and the outcomes of the matches involving the Spanish and Italian teams.

Thanks for the info.

I think English Premier League deserves the extra spot the most. Even though Liverpool and Man City failed and already dropped out, they still have 5 teams participating in European cups.

Well, let's just wait and see if there will be any significant changes that can change the position in the league standings that are entitled to additional slots or not.

Indirectly, teams that perform well also bring benefits to their league, because it can help their league get additional slots. However, having many representatives is also not a guarantee that they will be able to represent their league to become champions in the Champions League.

It's basically a competition to determine which associations have clubs worthy of one extra slot and England has a very very chance of getting that spot, almost inevitably.
Yeah, an extra spot is not guaranteed you'll be the champion and what is the point of qualifying for a tournament unless you are capable

But I'm still curious why the system is like this, why not divide it equally? I mean the additional slots from the changed format why not taken from leagues that don't get many slots.

For example, like Ligue 1 which initially only had 2 direct representatives, now they have 3 slots for their teams to go to the Champions League competition. Yes, maybe the league ranking also has an effect, but I'm still quite curious.

The number of teams from each league that qualifies for the champions League is based on the performance of the teams from each league the further you go in the champions League the more teams that will qualify from that league, so talking about the French ligue 1 they can't get more teams because they have not really done well in the champions League so they can't get more teams to qualify for the champions League thesame thing is applicable to other smaller leagues if they do well by going far in the competition they will get more slot in the champions League

It would not be called the Champions League if the participants were second-class, right
European Performance Spot (EPS) EPS is the coefficient value of a league in UEFA's calculations. The better the performance of the league's representatives in European competitions, the greater the chance of the league being the best in EPS.
So the goal of all this is to improve the quality of the competition and increase competition between clubs.
