Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels insists that Bayern Munich is still the favorites to win the Bundesliga title.
The reigning champions are trailing Bayern by only three points halfway through the campaign, but Hummels feels that BVB only have a shot at the title if the Bavarians slip up in the second half of the season.
"Bayern Munich are and remain the big favourites to win the league title. We all knew that ahead of the season and it hasn't changed," Hummels said to BamS.
"It will be very hard for us to retain the title and it might even be an unrealistic goal. We only have a chance if Bayern endure a difficult period and lose points a number of times."
Borussia Dortmund resumes its Bundesliga campaign next weekend against Hamburg, while Bayern Munich travels to Borussia Monchengladbach.
