Patrick Owomoyela has opined that Borussia Dortmund can challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season.<br /><br /><i>The Bavarians</i> are the three - time defending champions but the retired Germany international reckons that this former club are genuine contenders especially as they have a new coach Thomas Tuchel, who has led the team to three wins on the spin.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see what happens when they play the really top teams like Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the derby against FC Schalke 04, or against FC Bayern M&uuml;nchen,&rdquo; Owomoyela told bundesliga.com<br /><br />&ldquo;Then they can show us how strong they really are. Their Europa League wins were to be expected, as were their victories in the DFB Cup and the Bundesliga &ndash; they were all opponents you&rsquo;d expect them to beat on a normal day.<br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;But I&rsquo;m confident they can keep it going, and that they&rsquo;re serious challengers to Bayern for the title.&rdquo;<br /><br />Hamburg - born Patrick Owomoyela represented Borussia Dortmund from 2008 - 2013 and played 76 games, scoring 3 times, before ending his collaboration with the club.<br /><br />Photo Credit : bvb.de<br />
