Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels says his side will win the title if they beat Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
• Bundesliga: Dortmund and Bayern win
A 3-1 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday ensured Dortmund go into the top-of-the-table clash with a three-point cushion over their rivals and Hummels feels victory at the Westfalenstadion would clinch them the title for the second year running.
"If we win, I don't think we can be caught anymore," he said. "If we lose then we will be level on points, so the game can only be decisive in our favour."
Dortmund coach Jurgen K lopp is not so certain victory in midweek would secure the title, but he nevertheless wants the three points that would give his side a comfortable position to defend over the last four games of the season.
"The anticipation is intense," he said on his club's website. "We want to offer the 80,000 fans a spectacle. Nothing will be decided on Wednesday, but three points are on offer and we desperately want them."
Wolfsburg manager Felix Magath said his side had thrown away the game in the first half.
"We showed too much respect for them and didn't take enough of the initiative," he said. We only became courageous after the 2-1 and it was a good game from us after that.
"We showed that we can even cause problems to the league leaders."
