Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?Bayer Leverkusen have a good chance to improve on their performance from last season because Xabi Alonso remained with them, but Bayern Munich, if we should judge them from their pre-season game already, Vincent Kompany is already looking properly integrated into the team and ready for the new season.
Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?If we consider the quality of the coach, Xabi should be the best coach in Bundesliga. This means that Bayer Leverkusen will have another good chance to dominate again Bundesliga in the new season. However, the squad of Leverkusen seems having a little change, maybe they will be stronger or weaker. It depends on how Xabi will build the new squad of Leverkusen for the new season. As far as the main players won't leave Leverkusen, I'm personally very sure that Leverkusen will dominate again Bundesliga and win the trophy of Bundesliga in a row. :D
Post your predictions. Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?This is still a bit difficult to predict, because this season, Bayern Munich's preparations will definitely be much tighter, especially because they might be confused by Leverkusen's movements last season which made them really embarrassed because their record as Bundesliga winners was taken over by Leverkusen and even They were only able to finish in 3rd place, below Stuttgart, who incidentally won the play-off from the relegation zone.
I'm sure the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season will be much more competitive. Not only Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt, they are preparing this season more competitively. Currently the transfer market has not yet ended and there is still an opportunity for clubs to change their squad layout with some of the top players they rely on and are looking forward to buying or loans. Well, at least their first match will take place in the 4th week of August and there is still a month to prepare.
The most competitive club would probably be Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen, or plus Dortmund too. This will be very interesting.
Bayern Munich scored many goals (14) in their friendly game against FC Rotach-Egern and conceded one goal. This season's Bundesliga is one to look out for.Although, I can not doubt Bayern Munich because the club is the giant in Bundesliga but the goals they scored in friendlies does not matter. Scores are more in friendlies and team do not play with their full energy unlike during season. But I can not doubt Bayern Munich but not because of their friendlies performance. The season will soon start. I hope it would be competitive like last season as Bayer Leverkusenwon the league.
That might happen, especially if their squad doesn't experience too many changes. So, they are still solid, and Xabi just needs to improve their abilities in several lines which were indeed weaker last season compared to the other lines.Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?Bayer Leverkusen have a good chance to improve on their performance from last season because Xabi Alonso remained with them, but Bayern Munich, if we should judge them from their pre-season game already, Vincent Kompany is already looking properly integrated into the team and ready for the new season.

This season Leverkusen will be in the UCL too, this will be a very good and challenging challenge for Xabi to bring a club full of surprise to compete with top clubs in Europe again. And they were able to comeback with a performance that was much better than their previous UCL.
Yes, with Leverkusen becoming the Bundesliga champion last season, it really made a new resolution in the league, Bayern Munich's dominance was broken and this is a very good progress for the Bundesliga. At least it is now more interesting to watch and observe. Moreover, we understand very well that we often think, ah, most likely Bayern Munich will win again, but now the conditions are different. Even now we are still guessing who will advance in the next top 3 race, or who will be the next Bundesliga winner. Maybe it could be Leverkusen again, or back to Bayern Munich, or maybe Dortmund, or maybe a newcomer.I'm sure the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season will be much more competitive. Not only Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt, they are preparing this season more competitively.It is possible that we could get another highly competitive season again, or yet another team stopping Bayern from returning to their monopolistic behavior, but then I'd rather not have my hopes up with the expectation of another non-dominating season from Bayern Munich because as far as I can tell, the club are actually making some interesting signing that returning to being the king of bundesliga. I guess we'll see when the season starts.
(...) but Bayern Munich, if we should judge them from their pre-season game already, Vincent Kompany is already looking properly integrated into the team and ready for the new season.
Bayern Munich scored many goals (14) in their friendly game against FC Rotach-Egern and conceded one goal. This season's Bundesliga is one to look out for.
Usually every season we will predict Bayern Munich will be able to defend the title, because they have everything to make them able to win a title. But this season is a little different because we start talking about the tight competition that might happen.

Rotach-Egern is an amateur club, so it's more of a kickabout and a fun game for Bayern, just so the players don't get too rusty.
For comparison, last year both teams also played against each other and Bayern won 27-0.
All of a sudden the 14-1 doesn't look very impressive, does it ;D
I don't want to be a killjoy to be honest, but I strongly think Xabi Alonso is going to be a victim of his own success of last season, he's set the bar really so high for the team and you know what fans can be like when they've got to know what winning trophies and being dominant is all about, they are going to be just as expectant of a very close if not more than last season's heroic.And a problem that these supporters can have sometimes is that they become very quick to forget that the coach is someone who has led them to success and can become uneasy or insulting against him and his tactics if he fails to provide a performance better than what they did last season. Bayern will be more prepared this season, Leverkusen will not have it easily again for the second time. Dortmund is also there for the competition.
What you said makes sense. Of course, Leverkusen's standard of success this season will be higher and that also affects their fans. Last season, Leverkusen was almost perfect with an unbeaten record. I myself am also very aware that to maintain this title and record this season, it will be quite difficult for Xabi.That might happen, especially if their squad doesn't experience too many changes. So, they are still solid, and Xabi just needs to improve their abilities in several lines which were indeed weaker last season compared to the other lines.
This season Leverkusen will be in the UCL too, this will be a very good and challenging challenge for Xabi to bring a club full of surprise to compete with top clubs in Europe again. And they were able to comeback with a performance that was much better than their previous UCL.

Leverkusen is a team that changed our view on the Bundesliga this season, the success they achieved last season really changed everything. We are more curious about the course of the competition in the Bundesliga this season.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/26/4ihvm.png)
I've just checked the odds for the outright winner of the Bundesliga 2024/25 and not going to lie, I was quite surprised with what I see.
I expected Leverkusen to be the favourite. There's no way they'll be as dominating as in the previous season, but I still think they are more likely to win than any other team.
Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again.
(...)
I think Kompany might just be right person for the job, because he was fantastic and well experienced as a player and he also did a great job with getting Burnley promoted to premier league 2 season even though the EPL was too tough for them to survive getting relegated back immediately.
(...)
Bayern Munich's ambitions might be too demanding and big for Kompany, and he's going to be under a lot of pressure to get it right instantaneously. Teams like Bayern would want instant result to protect the status and perceived legacy of the club.
Sure, but that's the problem - being a great player doesn't automatically transfer into being great manager.You need to have the talent to manage many players and you need to constantly learn and improve as a manager.
And his success in getting Burnley promoted to the EPL was his only notable success in his managerial career. That's why the Bayern's decision to give him a chance was so surprising to many. They took a gamble with this one.
(...)
You need to have the talent to manage many players and you need to constantly learn and improve as a manager.
Most of the best players in the world never became great managers after they finished carriers as players, with few exceptions.
Franz Beckenbauer was a great player and manager but he had the talent for both.
At first we thought that if anyone could break Bayern Munich's dominance, then Borussia Dortmund was in our minds as the team that could do it. Last season they were one step away from doing it, but unfortunately they couldn't win their last match in the Bundesliga.Usually every season we will predict Bayern Munich will be able to defend the title, because they have everything to make them able to win a title. But this season is a little different because we start talking about the tight competition that might happen.even it was not like a prediction anymore, but more like a "certainty that will definitely happen" :D :D
Leverkusen is a team that changed our view on the Bundesliga this season, the success they achieved last season really changed everything. We are more curious about the course of the competition in the Bundesliga this season.
Because Bayern Munich has been dominating for years. And finally when the record was broken, and it wasn't Dortmund who did it, but Leverkusen who was really not predicted before, it became a sensation and very interesting. Ah last season was really the best season in the Bundesliga.
if for this season, we still find it difficult to predict, it's not certain that Leverkusen will be as successful as before, but it's not certain that Bayern Munich will take over again. In essence, the competition in the Bundesliga is getting tighter and thinking that this doesn't always have to be Bayern Munich.
even it was not like a prediction anymore, but more like a "certainty that will definitely happen" :D :DYou are right because in as much as Bayern Munich has always been the most cherished among every clubs on the Bundesliga but watching Bayern Leverkusen behaves these way against them shows that any club with consistent performance can possibly win the league any season, however I wish every Bundesliga league will be like this finished season because it was very unpredictable and nobody knows how the end will be until they saw Bayern Leverkusen lifting the trophy.
Because Bayern Munich has been dominating for years. And finally when the record was broken, and it wasn't Dortmund who did it, but Leverkusen who was really not predicted before, it became a sensation and very interesting. Ah last season was really the best season in the Bundesliga.
~It will be great if they could repeat their success but I think Munich would not let that happen the second time. Other teams will also pay more attention to Leverkusen and force them to work harder for a win. I hope they could do better than the small club in PL that won and fell off the following season (Leicester).
Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?
Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again.The new coach of Bayern Munich has a whole season to prove was wrong and although I do not believe that he can do it in the very first season I think if he will be the one to return Bayern to Glory, it is going to be a gradual process. I will not rate his coaching skills if there are no other team in the Bundesliga seriously giving him a contest, or just if they win the Bundesliga. I will give Kompany a pass mark if he can take Bayern to the Champions league finals.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/26/4ihvm.png)You don't judge the consistency of a team with just one victory. Leverkusen won last season of which Bayern has being in dominance before last season and that is why you see that ilthe odds is still in favor of Bayern because they are more exposed to winning the league than any other team. I want to see how Leverkusen performance will be like next season because they should be able to keep their consistency since Xabi is still the coach.
I've just checked the odds for the outright winner of the Bundesliga 2024/25 and not going to lie, I was quite surprised with what I see.
I expected Leverkusen to be the favourite. There's no way they'll be as dominating as in the previous season, but I still think they are more likely to win than any other team.
Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again.
Yeah, and it looks like Xabi Alonso could be another one. But it's too soon to judge him only by that one, great season. He still has a long way to go.Risk pays off sometimes.
But maybe that's what motivated Bayern - they witnessed Leverkusen taking a risk and signing up a former star player but inexperienced manager and it played out very nicely for them - so they decided to copy their move and signed up Kompany.
Or maybe they just couldn't secure anyone more established and simply had no better option.
Honestly at the beginning of last season I didn't think that Leverkusen would be able to do all this, but they were able to confirm themselves as the team that managed to break Bayern Munich's dominance.Not only you, I think everyone didn't expect that Leverkusen could play very impressive in the whole season. Who knows that Leverkusen could be a very strong team, they even didn't get a single lose in Bundesliga. This never happened with Leverkusen, even Bayern Munich couldn't win Bundesliga with zero (0) defeat. However, Leverkusen couldn't win Europa league trophy, it was quite unfortunate.
Yes, it's still not very convincing. Fortunately, Bayern Munich is a club that is basically a strong club. So, it might not be that bad for Kompany to manage the club well. At least, if his tactics are really right, then it will go well. But here, how he will live as a new coach with minimal experience, how he will gain the trust of the entire squad, and be able to make it solid, that is still questionable. So, maybe it's still fifty-fifty.Maybe I'm just not a big believer of Kompany being able to make Bayern great again.The new coach of Bayern Munich has a whole season to prove was wrong and although I do not believe that he can do it in the very first season I think if he will be the one to return Bayern to Glory, it is going to be a gradual process.

This never happened with Leverkusen, even Bayern Munich couldn't win Bundesliga with zero (0) defeat. However, Leverkusen couldn't win Europa league trophy, it was quite unfortunate.
For this season, it is quite difficult to predict how Leverkusen performance. I see some players moving from Leverkusen. But I heard Xabi Alonso wants to sign Arda Guler as a loan player. If Xabi Alonso successfully signs him, I think Leverkusen attacking line will be stronger.
It seems that almost everyone even thought so, surely it would be Dortmund and not think at all about Leverkusen. But as time went by, when Leverkusen became undefeated until the 10th match, it began to explain, this club is special and should be watched out for by Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich may not have intended to underestimate Leverkusen's achievements at first, but there were indeed several matches where Bayern Munich missed the point, did not compete optimally, so that the first position was in Leverkusen. Maybe Bayern Munich thought that soon Leverkusen would lose and they would take the first position again. But that did not happen.even it was not like a prediction anymore, but more like a "certainty that will definitely happen" :D :DAt first we thought that if anyone could break Bayern Munich's dominance, then Borussia Dortmund was in our minds as the team that could do it.

being a great player doesn't automatically transfer into being great manager.Of course you are right because that's what most people normally believe that the moment an experience player retired and venture into coaching they would automatically become a good coach, actually one thing they need to understand is that coaching and playing is a two different things because coaching requires so many skills and critical thinking.
And his success in getting Burnley promoted to the EPL was his only notable success in his managerial career. That's why the Bayern's decision to give him a chance was so surprising to many. They took a gamble with this one.
in fact, Bayern Munich was the one who lost again, while Leverkusen? they survived until the end of the match, undefeated. This is what Bayern Munich did not expect either, so this season they will definitely not waste this opportunity again, they are increasingly aware that their competitors are not only Dortmund, but there is actually something more worrying even though secretly, not only Leverkusen, but also Stuttgart.Stuttgart were one of the teams that were not in the reckoning to compete at the top, but they proved that they can be there too, and even if Leverkusen were not there, they would be the champions.
Stuttgart were one of the teams that were not in the reckoning to compete at the top, but they proved that they can be there too, and even if Leverkusen were not there, they would be the champions.
Actually, this is what we want to see, where the competition becomes more competitive because there are several teams that are ready and able to compete. I hope the same thing will happen next season.
Exactly. Bayern's success in winning the Bundesliga in a row for the last 11 years has made the Bundesliga less interesting.Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten run last season was a record that added them to the league of Invincibles, with Arsenal, Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus, and Celtic having achieved that feat.
The competition only occurs for second place in the standings, it is different compared to La Liga or the Premier League.
But the final standings of the 2023/2024 season have made the Bundesliga interesting again, fantastic performances from Leverkusen and Stuttgart have increased the enthusiasm of fans to watch the Bundesliga.
It is very important to note that when a team is serious about pursuing achievements and then they work hard to make it happen then it can happen and is very likely to happen. Luck is another thing that I think also adds to what happened last season.Stuttgart were one of the teams that were not in the reckoning to compete at the top, but they proved that they can be there too, and even if Leverkusen were not there, they would be the champions.

This season, I do not think they can do it again.
Nobody will want to keep watching a league that from the beginning, you already know who will win the league. It makes it look very easy to predict and not competitive but I think that Era is fading away and that was why Leverkusen was able to change that last season so let's see what happens next season if Bayern will be able to win back the league again. Personally, I think that EPL is becoming more of one club dominating the league and if other clubs did not wake up, EPL might become boring like Bundesliga was.Exactly.

Breaking records would be a satisfying result for any club but it is not the main goal, winning the title is the main goal.
However, knowing the final result of the competition when competition is still ongoing makes it no longer interesting, that is what happened in the Bundesliga in the last 10 years before Xabi appeared in Leverkusen.
Bayern's dominance is only good for the club but not for the Bundesliga as a whole, people are more interested in watching the Premier League or La Liga because of the tight competition between
With Xabi Alonso remaining in the squad, it is expected to maintain their performance, even though some players have left, but he also put some new names into the squad that will add to their ammunition.Of course, we expect Xabi Alonso can maintain the performance of Leverkusen. Even if it will be very difficult to repeat the success in the previous season, Leverkusen should try to win Bundesliga again. I'm not sure if Leverkusen can be unbeaten again, but I want to see Leverkusen be the champion again. This will make Bundesliga be more interesting because Bayern Munich will be motivated to try harder to beat Leverkusen in the next seasons.
Xabi Alonso started very well, I hope he can maintain that. The chemistry between him and the players is also very good, so that is an asset. Because in a team, not only strategy is needed, but good chemistry will also be an important factor.
Yes, Stuttgart's achievement last season as runner-up was truly an extraordinary achievement. Even in that season, they achieved several records in the club. At least that is:in fact, Bayern Munich was the one who lost again, while Leverkusen? they survived until the end of the match, undefeated. This is what Bayern Munich did not expect either, so this season they will definitely not waste this opportunity again, they are increasingly aware that their competitors are not only Dortmund, but there is actually something more worrying even though secretly, not only Leverkusen, but also Stuttgart.Stuttgart were one of the teams that were not in the reckoning to compete at the top, but they proved that they can be there too, and even if Leverkusen were not there, they would be the champions.
Well, indeed the statistics that Stuttgart can record are very good so that they managed to become runners-up and this is an achievement that they rarely get or even this is the first time they have managed to be in this position.Stuttgart were one of the teams that were not in the reckoning to compete at the top, but they proved that they can be there too, and even if Leverkusen were not there, they would be the champions.Yes, Stuttgart's achievement last season as runner-up was truly an extraordinary achievement. Even in that season, they achieved several records in the club. At least that is:
- Serhou Guirassy became one of their top scorers in the Bundesliga
- The number of points they increased from last season to the 2023-2024 season was extraordinary, from only 33 points in 2022/2023 to 73 points in 2023/2024, with an increase of more than 100%, which is 40 points.
- Stuttgart's total victory was 23 wins, which is also one of their club records so far
However, for the 2024/2025 season, we don't know whether this club will still be as productive and strong or not. What is clear is that one of their mainstay players and top scorer, Serhou Guirassy, has been bought by Dortmund.

Even if it will be very difficult to repeat the success in the previous season, Leverkusen should try to win Bundesliga again. I'm not sure if Leverkusen can be unbeaten again, but I want to see Leverkusen be the champion again. This will make Bundesliga be more interesting because Bayern Munich will be motivated to try harder to beat Leverkusen in the next seasons.

What Xabi Alonso started? I think he didn't start anything now, the season isn't started yet.
Let's see what Xabi Alonso to do in the pre season match against Arsenal, I think it will be an interesting match although Xabi Alonso may not be very serious in a friendly match.
Of course, we expect Xabi Alonso can maintain the performance of Leverkusen. Even if it will be very difficult to repeat the success in the previous season, Leverkusen should try to win Bundesliga again. I'm not sure if Leverkusen can be unbeaten again, but I want to see Leverkusen be the champion again.

Yes, Stuttgart's achievement last season as runner-up was truly an extraordinary achievement. Even in that season, they achieved several records in the club. At least that is:Unbelievable with VfB Stuttgart achievement in this season success moving down Bayern Munich to third standings position and the first time Stuttgart success finish as 2nd place. But last season I doubt they can repeat their success achievement after selling their top scorer Serhou Guirassy to Dortmund and huge pressure will play in Champion League but have consistent playing in domestic league.

Current activities transfer, VfB Stuttgart not sign any top players right now and its bad prepare team because they will play in Champion League and must defend the top fourth standings in domestic league.
It's very funny and sad at the same time that most of us didn't even take not of Stuttgart achievement as well last, there were considered a relegation bound candidate before the season began, if I'm not mistaken, but their achievement was completely overshadowed by Bayer Leverkusen being the talk of the season, and I even completely forgot that they finished 2nd place, or never paid any attention to it at all.Yes, that's right. They are indeed in the bottom 3 zones, in the relegation zone with Schalke and Hertha. But fortunately, they managed to win during the play-off and finally were able to re-enter the Bundesliga. And it's true, in fact, in terms of their achievements, Stuttgart's point achievement level broke the record. And their performance is truly extraordinary. But yes, this club is still not too striking because it is covered by Leverkusen's achievements which are also extraordinary. But on the other hand, imagine, a relegation club then finally managed to surpass Bayern Leverkusen by making them runner-up, 1 level above Bayern Leverkusen. This is also a truly extraordinary achievement.

Yes, it was very unfortunate when they failed to achieve the treble winner, even though it was in front of them, but Atalanta managed to beat them and stop Leverkusen's unbeaten record last season.
Last season's success by Bayer Leverkusen will cast a very great shadow on whatever they do or achieve this coming season, except they're able to replicate the league doubles again, they were close to getting the treble, If not for Lookman Ademola and Atalanta that deprived them of that chance, with the level of expectation and pressure that will be exerted on Leverkusen, I don't even think they'd finish in the top 4. However, I'm hoping that I'll be proved wrong by the team.
Exactly. Bayern's success in winning the Bundesliga in a row for the last 11 years has made the Bundesliga less interesting.You are right because the reason why Bundesliga was not that interesting seasons ago was actually because they were repeatedly winning by Bayern Munich and at the moment Bayern Leverkusen decided to take a bold step this season it gives another interesting shape for the Bundesliga because those who don't always like to watch Bundesliga matches began to develop interest.
The competition only occurs for second place in the standings, it is different compared to La Liga or the Premier League.
But the final standings of the 2023/2024 season have made the Bundesliga interesting again, fantastic performances from Leverkusen and Stuttgart have increased the enthusiasm of fans to watch the Bundesliga.
You are right because the reason why Bundesliga was not that interesting seasons ago was actually because they were repeatedly winning by Bayern Munich and at the moment Bayern Leverkusen decided to take a bold step this season it gives another interesting shape for the Bundesliga because those who don't always like to watch Bundesliga matches began to develop interest.
Having one team winning multiple times in a row is not necessarily a problem on its own. i.e. in 2022/23 Bayern indeed won, but there was a lot of drama and emotions up until the very end. They ended up with the same number of points as BvB (71) and won only by a better goal difference.Last two season, Bayern Munich performed not consistent yet and remember how difficult for winning Bundesliga trophy on season 2022/23 after fatal mistake from Dortmund indeed both team have the same points. Bayern on season 2022/23 need on last game week become the winner and last season their performance poor drastically by finish as third standings position.
The more excitement there is, the more interesting the league becomes.
But yeah, Leverkusen winning in such a dominating way will surely make things much more interesting.
Exactly, this is a job that will be quite tough for VfB Stuttgart, especially for Sebastian Hoeneß to manage his squad back to their excellent performance in the 2023/2024 season. And this will be a challenge for him to bring Stuttgart to a bigger competition besides the Bundesliga, namely the UCL.- Serhou Guirassy became one of their top scorers in the BundesligaWell, indeed the statistics that Stuttgart can record are very good so that they managed to become runners-up and this is an achievement that they rarely get or even this is the first time they have managed to be in this position.
- The number of points they increased from last season to the 2023-2024 season was extraordinary, from only 33 points in 2022/2023 to 73 points in 2023/2024, with an increase of more than 100%, which is 40 points.
- Stuttgart's total victory was 23 wins, which is also one of their club records so far
If they can maintain their performance last season and return to put pressure on the Bundesliga, it will be a very good thing. Because usually teams like them actually decline drastically after they go through a very good season.
Usually maintaining will be more difficult than starting, because there will be vigilance from other teams that is different from before. Apart from that, players who performed well before will be targeted by big teams, so that is also something they have to think about.Well, indeed the statistics that Stuttgart can record are very good so that they managed to become runners-up and this is an achievement that they rarely get or even this is the first time they have managed to be in this position.Exactly, this is a job that will be quite tough for VfB Stuttgart, especially for Sebastian Hoeneß to manage his squad back to their excellent performance in the 2023/2024 season.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, it seems that several key players from this club have been targeted by several other big clubs. One of them that has been rumored lately is Waldemar Anton who is rumored to be targeted by Dortmund, their rivals in the Bundesliga.

The new season will start soon, we will see their journey next season with the target that they want to maintain their performance like last season at least. or if they are able they must improve to become even better.Bayern Munich are looking really good under Vincent Kompany already. I am already anticipating seeing them play in the Bundesliga next season and see how they perform in their very first few games because in the pre-season games so far, they have been very good with the attacks. Did anyone watch them play against Tottenham? they won the game, scored their first goal in the first five minutes of the game, and dominated the game. They play Tottenham again on the 10th of this month, and I still do not think They will lose that game.

Vincent Kompany is winning the fans over with these good results.
Yes I can understand why you say Bayern Munich are doing well under Kompany, because you must have seen their pre-season games to say that. But are they really as good as you say just because they played well in pre-season?The new season will start soon, we will see their journey next season with the target that they want to maintain their performance like last season at least. or if they are able they must improve to become even better.Bayern Munich are looking really good under Vincent Kompany already.

I am hoping to see a new club win Bundesliga next season because I know that it will be impossible for Bayern or Leverkusen to win it again. Kompany is a good new who needs to study the players and teach them his new football pattern and that might takes some time for the players to blend in with the new pattern. That alone might make Bayern not to be consistent in the beginning. Leverkusen might not be able to have their best moments next season like they did last season. I love seeing surprises because that is what makes football unpredictable.Exactly.

Actually I just wish all the season will be like this finished season because of the competition, though I no that this upcoming season will be very interesting for Bundesliga but I don't know if another club will be able to take over the performance of Bayern Leverkusen Because I don't think Bayern Leverkusen will still be able to come back with there previous performance again.

I love seeing surprises because that is what makes football unpredictable.I think become more competitive if next season any new team can destroy with Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich dominance, in this season Leverkusen success winning with unbeaten record and break Bayern record with eleven consecutive season winning the Bundesliga. Seems interested if next season Dortmund or Leipzig as favorite team for winning Bundesliga and every season has difference team dominance the domestic league.
Usually maintaining will be more difficult than starting, because there will be vigilance from other teams that is different from before. Apart from that, players who performed well before will be targeted by big teams, so that is also something they have to think about.Exactly, although Stuttgart certainly still wants to be much better, but the reality may not be as good or as easy as that. Not only Stuttgart but also for Leverkusen, to maintain their position is quite difficult to do. Because certainly every season will always be different and each club will usually be much more ready to take over the position.
Selling the top scorer team last season become difficult job for VfB Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß how to manage well for next season keep consistent his team performance in domestic league and UEFA Champion League.Indeed, and this often happens in various small teams, when their club looks shining in a season, then many of their top players will be targeted by other top clubs. and finally they seem to choose to sell their top players in the hope of increasing the club's income. and they will eventually bring back players to replace their positions, but usually with performances that are not like those top players. But, we'll see how Stuttgart will anticipate this. They were once in a very difficult position when they entered the relegation zone and they were finally able to really rise.
I think become more competitive if next season any new team can destroy with Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich dominance, in this season Leverkusen success winning with unbeaten record and break Bayern record with eleven consecutive season winning the Bundesliga. Seems interested if next season Dortmund or Leipzig as favorite team for winning Bundesliga and every season has difference team dominance the domestic league.If Dortmund can really be optimal and consistent, then it will be a pretty good competition in the Bundesliga for the 2024/2025 season. At least, Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and also Dortmund. All three of them are currently preparing their teams quite well so they can compete much stronger. And the readiness of each club also seems to be almost complete, yes, it's just that they are still targeting some of their target players who have not been approved yet.
Indeed Leverkusen still on the top favorite team for winning bundesliga because less experience of Kompany seems difficult for him bring Bayern winning bundesliga again.
If Dortmund can really be optimal and consistent, then it will be a pretty good competition in the Bundesliga for the 2024/2025 season. At least, Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, and also Dortmund.

And the readiness of each club also seems to be almost complete, yes, it's just that they are still targeting some of their target players who have not been approved yet.
For Bayern Munich, yes, however, there are still many people who doubt Kompany's ability to manage a club that big. It's just that, so far, their signings have actually been pretty good. It's just a matter of how Kompany can really be with the squad and make tactical breakthroughs that suit the squad. So, the doubts about him can slowly disappear.
Yes, we certainly address this to all teams and not just to certain teams, and perhaps more specifically to teams that have just had an extraordinary season.Usually maintaining will be more difficult than starting, because there will be vigilance from other teams that is different from before. Apart from that, players who performed well before will be targeted by big teams, so that is also something they have to think about.Exactly, although Stuttgart certainly still wants to be much better, but the reality may not be as good or as easy as that.

The first team that comes to my mind when we talk about the Bundesliga here will win is Bayern or Leverkusen
Realistically for Dortmund, They won’t come close to what they achieved in the Champions League again
The Bundesliga? Who knows what happens but I think Dortmund might need some time to constantly deliver. The DFB Pokal? Possible for sure

Dortmund is an odd one. Their team was good enough to defeat any top team in the world, their Champions league success was a good proof of that, but they seriously lacked consistency in their performance.If they want, they are actually able to do it, but unfortunately it seems like it is not their priority, because if it really is a priority for them, they will not do something that is detrimental to them.
In the last 10 seasons, only three times they managed to earn more than 70 points. And that's probably the bare minimum they would need to win the league, but likely much more than that.

...but in the case of this upcoming season Bundesliga I have a very good hope that Bayern Munich will win the trophy because that would be the first Assignment of Kompany as the new Bayern Munich coach.Another good result again for Kompany as he gets a win against Tottenham. Three goals against Tottenham as they have been scoring lots of goals this preseason.
Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are the toughest candidates for the Bundesliga, both of them will definitely compete very optimally. For Dortmund, that's why I said if they can really be that good and that good in the Bundesliga, then they will be able to join the race, or vice versa.If Dortmund can really be optimal and consistent, then it will be a pretty good competition in the Bundesliga for the 2024/2025 season.

The target imposed by Bayern Munich on Vincent Kompany is certainly a very high target, which is to be able to bring back the championship title that was won by Leverkusen last season. I think that is a reasonable target considering the composition of the existing players....but in the case of this upcoming season Bundesliga I have a very good hope that Bayern Munich will win the trophy because that would be the first Assignment of Kompany as the new Bayern Munich coach.Another good result again for Kompany as he gets a win against Tottenham.

Positive results going into the season and ready to face Bayer Leverkusen. It can happen for him in the first season against Xabi.
The target imposed by Bayern Munich on Vincent Kompany is certainly a very high target, which is to be able to bring back the championship title that was won by Leverkusen last season. I think that is a reasonable target considering the composition of the existing players.Indeed, their main target is to overtake the Bundesliga trophy winner position that Leverkusen won last season. And the next target is certainly to get a higher position in the UCL compared to the previous season. Indeed, Kompany is still new as a coach, but Bayern Munich is a big club, so the target must also be high even though it is in Kompany's first year there. That's why many people doubt about Kompany's ability, it's just that, we trust Kompany and Bayern Munich, as fans, just enjoy the results.
Bayern defeating Tottenham in both of their friendly matches can be taken as a good sign by their fans, but they also had one friendly game that they cannot be proud about: the 1-1 draw against amateur FC Duren at the end of July.
As for Leverkusen, they chose to play better ranked teams with mixed results. They got some beating from Arsenal, 4-1, which should serve as a cold shower. The next game for Bayer is confrontation with VfB Stuttgart for the DFL supercup. It might not be the most prestigious trophy in the world, but starting the season with a win could be a good morale boost.
Bayer Leverkusen is favourite in this game even though Stuttgart showed a high level in Bundesliga the previous season. The defeat against Arsenal or the draw against Real Betis or Lens have nothing to do with official game where there is a trophy behind.
On the other hand, it will also be a pressure for Company, which if he is not able to face the pressure then it will have a bad impact on the team's game. But he should have been ready for it, he should have been ready when he said yes to handling Bayern Munich.The target imposed by Bayern Munich on Vincent Kompany is certainly a very high target, which is to be able to bring back the championship title that was won by Leverkusen last season.

Not having much experience is something that is highlighted from Kompany and that is seen from his performance in the previous season with the Premier League team.Kompany's Bayern has started on a flying note, leading Ulm already with two goals, and I am sure more goals will come. There is no chance for Ulm to recover; Bayern needs to make sure of that to get a 100% start. It will be important to keep their confidence going.
The opponents they faced were teams from the second tier of German football, so their victory was an easy victory to predict. Not to belittle Ulm, but we know the difference between them.Not having much experience is something that is highlighted from Kompany and that is seen from his performance in the previous season with the Premier League team.Kompany's Bayern has started on a flying note, leading Ulm already with two goals, and I am sure more goals will come.

Not to belittle Ulm, but we know the difference between them.Second round seems easily for all top Bundesliga teams because face second tier teams but after raising 16 of roun will face each other with Bundesliga teams participants. Vincent Kompany have good debut on the first match at DFB Pokal first round after winning over 4-0.
I am more looking forward to when they face teams like Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, those will be teams that can give them a tough fight. Even last season when they faced those two teams they were overwhelmed and even had to suffer defeat.
Vincent Kompany must bring back Bayern to the tittle race winning after their dominance break by Bayern Leverkusen last season.Bayern Munich won their game yesterday, and they will be looking at Bayer Leverkusen later today to see how they will perform against Stuttgart. If Xabi Alonso's boys can win this first game, it will set the intention for the new season to show that they are very interested in retaining their Bundesliga title, and that will make other teams who have interest in being the Bundesliga champion this season, including Bayern Munich, more serious.
Borussia Dortmund is a team that I am looking forward to seeing their performance this season. Previously they were always the main competitor for Bayern Munich, but last season they lost the competition and even Bayern Munich themselves lost the competition.I am also very curious with the performance of Dortmund in the new season. I see this team could sign some good players in the current transfer windows. It will be a good sign for Dortmund, I really expect this team to play again in their best level. So, we don't only have Bayern Munich and Leverkusen to compete for the title but we also have Dortmund as another candidate.
If they do not improve their performance, then they will be further behind than before. I had hoped that they would be the ones who could stop Bayern Munich's dominance, but that did not come true.Leverkusen already stopped Bayern Munich's dominance. :-\
Very even game for the DFL Supercup today. I was worried that Bayer could lose this one as they had a mixed performance in their friendly games, but they did it and they're starting the season with a trophy (small, but still).
Stuttgart dominated in possession, but that's not a surprise, as Leverkusen played with 10 players due to Terrier's red card in 37th minute. Both teams had identical shots/shots on target stats (12/4).
I think Bayer deserved the win, but it wasn't their best performance and they should improve their game if they want to defend the title and be successful in the Champions League.
We still have to wait patiently until we can really see and conclude how they perform under Kompany's direction.The opponents they faced were teams from the second tier of German football, so their victory was an easy victory to predict. Not to belittle Ulm, but we know the difference between them.Second round seems easily for all top Bundesliga teams because face second tier teams but after raising 16 of roun will face each other with Bundesliga teams participants.

I am more looking forward to when they face teams like Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, those will be teams that can give them a tough fight. Even last season when they faced those two teams they were overwhelmed and even had to suffer defeat.
But still not proof how compete Bayern Munich in this season although start well on first round of DFB Pokal match. I think most important how to make Bayern Munich keep consistent and perform well in domestic league for this season. Vincent Kompany must bring back Bayern to the tittle race winning after their dominance break by Bayern Leverkusen last season.
Leverkusen did it again, they were only two minutes away from defeat
(...)
Don't worry, Alonso knows what he needs to do :)Leverkusen did it again, they were only two minutes away from defeat
(...)
Yeah, but that's not necessarily a good sign, they can't allow themselves to be reckless for most of the game just to equalise or score a winning goal at the very end. I guess in this one you could excuse them because of the early red card, but they should be fully focussed from the very first whistle.
Only 3 days left to the 2024/25 season opening game Borussia Mönchengladbach Vs Bayer Leverkusen.It is natural that the difference in chances of this match is very large, because Leverkusen are the defending champions and also they were undefeated last season in the Bundesliga.
Not surprisingly Bayer is a favourite with odds of x1.55. Odds for Mönchengladbach to win stand at x5.20.
Mönchengladbach ended up 14th in the last season, but their last match was a goalless draw in Leverkusen, so who knows, maybe Borussia M will manage to earn at least a point on Friday.

I'm looking forward to seeing Xabi's team play again, for me it will be quite a feat given how much improvement Xabi will bring, I think he will try to do the same as last season and it's win or win.
Last season they went undefeated in the Bundesliga, that is a very difficult thing for a team to do again. I don't know or I forgot, because so far I have not seen a team that can go undefeated in 2 consecutive seasons, and when there is a team without losing, they immediately make everyone excited.I'm looking forward to seeing Xabi's team play again, for me it will be quite a feat given how much improvement Xabi will bring, I think he will try to do the same as last season and it's win or win.
Given the last season was exceptionally good for Leverkusen, it will be hard to improve on that.
I don't think it's realistic to expect them to get a similar number of league points this season, but even if they end up with 10 or 15 less points, they could still successfully defend the title.
Some are concerned about their not-so-great performance in friendlies, especially the 4-1 loss to Arsenal, but the same happened last season, and that didn't stop them from dominating the league.

Xabi Alonso not make significant rotation and almost defend all players last season with several new players signing, I believe has opportunity for Leverkusen keep unbeaten in two consecutive season and they are on confidence performance after winning DFL Super Cup after defeating Stuttgart.
So now I just say it is a difficult thing for them to do, but if they try hard then nothing is impossible.

I don't see Bayer Leverkusen performance as well as in the previous season. Their performance is no longer like in the previous season, some players also moved from Leverkusen. And other clubs already know the weakness of Bayer Leverkusen after they got a defeat against Atalanta. Their winning against Stuttgart can't be the only reason that Leverkusen to keep their unbeaten record.
The opening match against Gladbach will not be difficult match for Leverkusen continue the unbeaten trend reach up to 35 matches in domestic league.
Monchengladbach last season only finished in 14th position and their performance throughout the season was quite bad. While in this transfer market, they only brought in 4 new players with 2 of them being free transfers. And they are not good players, so there is a possibility that their performance will not be far from last season. Unless the coach has a new strategy again. But I am sure, Leverkusen should win quite easily in this first match. Don't let Xabi let his club lose points or even draw in the first Bundesliga match which will be held tomorrow.Only 3 days left to the 2024/25 season opening game Borussia Mönchengladbach Vs Bayer Leverkusen.It is natural that the difference in chances of this match is very large, because Leverkusen are the defending champions and also they were undefeated last season in the Bundesliga.

It might not be as easy as it looks on paper. Monchengladbach will probably aim for 1 point, focus entirely on defence and maybe look for a goal from counterattacks.
Their last clash, in Jan 2024 was a 0-0 draw and Bayer were playing at home, so it's not unlikely we could see a similar outcome this time.
Not difficult do you think? we should not forget some situations that they will face such as injury storms and others, it will be very influential. Apart from that, they are not only participating in the Bundesliga, but they will appear in other competitions both domestically and at a higher level such as the Champions League.Last season they went undefeated in the Bundesliga, that is a very difficult thing for a team to do again.

Monchengladbach last season only finished in 14th position and their performance throughout the season was quite bad. While in this transfer market, they only brought in 4 new players with 2 of them being free transfers. And they are not good players, so there is a possibility that their performance will not be far from last season. Unless the coach has a new strategy again. But I am sure, Leverkusen should win quite easily in this first match. Don't let Xabi let his club lose points or even draw in the first Bundesliga match which will be held tomorrow.If Bayer Leverkusen fail to win their first game, it can signal doom for them this season. With their very remarkable record from last season, I expect this game to be easy for them.
If Bayer Leverkusen fail to win their first game, it can signal doom for them this season. With their very remarkable record from last season, I expect this game to be easy for them.Bayer Leverkusen won their first match in Bundesliga. It was a tight match but they could win the match with 3 goals. Wirtz becomes the most shining player in the match, he contributed 2 goals. By the way, you can't determine the performance of Leverkusen in this season based on their first match only. Winning the first match is good, but it doesn't mean Leverkusen will automatically to experience good season.
My predictions from the game is two goals for Leverkusen, none for Borussia Monchengladbach.Leverkusen made 3 goals. Monchengladbach scored 2 goals. The match almost ended up with a draw result.
Important 3 points for Leverkusen, but that was not an easy game with a drama to the very last seconds.Indeed, a very tough game, I really didn't expect Monchengladbach to be this tight in putting up a fight. But Leverkusen's performance was not that good. It's just, ah, the point is this was a pretty tight match. Very fortunately in the end in the last minutes Leverkusen was able to take the lead with 1 additional goal by Florian Wirts.
You don't often see winning goals in 11th minute of the extra time ;D
Monchengladbach proved they are no pushovers and they put up a real fight.

No team has ever gone undefeated for two seasons in a row, at least not in the Bundesliga. Bayer has broken the record for most undefeated games in all competitions, but it's Bayern who holds the longest undefeated streak in the bundesliga:QuoteLongest unbeaten run: Bayern Munich didn’t lose a single one of their 53 games between Matchday 10 of 2012/13 and Matchday 28 of 2013/14.https://www.bundesliga.com/en/faq/10-things-on-the-bundesliga/bundesliga-records-goals-titles-attendances-for-players-and-clubs-10555

To achieve the record achieved by Bayern Munich, it is even more difficult, because in the Europa League final Leverkusen felt the first defeat after their unbeaten record. If only they had not lost at that time, then they could have broken the record previously recorded by Bayern Munich.
Yes, indeed, I think that Xabi has done things well with the team , he has Shown that he is very Decisive with his team, we know that such a feat is difficult, but it is as you say, if he ends up with that many points advantage it will be Equally beneficial for the history of the team and the Biggest rival that I see for Leverkusen is Bayern, who have obviously made them proud, I am sure that they will not stop there , there are many things that they will defend, I am sure that they can make the Difference and Remain as the main Dominant teams in the Bundesliga.I'm looking forward to seeing Xabi's team play again, for me it will be quite a feat given how much improvement Xabi will bring, I think he will try to do the same as last season and it's win or win.
Given the last season was exceptionally good for Leverkusen, it will be hard to improve on that.
I don't think it's realistic to expect them to get a similar number of league points this season, but even if they end up with 10 or 15 less points, they could still successfully defend the title.
Some are concerned about their not-so-great performance in friendlies, especially the 4-1 loss to Arsenal, but the same happened last season, and that didn't stop them from dominating the league.

Yes, maintaining the record of becoming consecutive league champions even for several/many seasons may be said to be easier than maintaining an unbeaten record throughout the season, and repeating it again in the next few seasons. Because, that means never losing even once. And this will be very difficult to repeat. It is possible, but the chances are small.

Not quite, they did beat the (European) record of a number of games without loss across all competitions, with a run of 51, which ended on that EL final loss to Atalanta.
Bayern still holds a record of games without loss for Bundesliga games only, which is a run of 53. Leverkusen are still going with their previous season's undefeated Bundesliga games, which I believe is now 35. so still a pretty long way to go to beat Bayern's record.
I think I said the same thing before, they can't break Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they lost to Atalanta in the Europa League final. If they had won that they would have equalled Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they won the DFB Pokal final in the next game.(...)

The record achievements of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are different. Yes, maintaining the record of becoming consecutive league champions even for several/many seasons may be said to be easier than maintaining an unbeaten record throughout the season, and repeating it again in the next few seasons. Because, that means never losing even once. And this will be very difficult to repeat. It is possible, but the chances are small.Of course, it is because these teams are basically very different. Bayern Munich often wins Bundesliga and they dominate it almost every season. Meanwhile Leverkusen is just an average team, they never won Bundesliga before Xabi Alonso managed the team. So, the record achieved by Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso is very special. Moreover, they were unbeaten in the whole season.
Meanwhile, this time, this season, the competition in the Bundesliga will certainly be even tighter. Xabi must make extra efforts to defend the Bundesliga title this season, and also focus on other tough matches in the UCL.It will be never easy to defend the champion. Leverkusen will face the challenge, but I'm sure Xabi Alonso still has a chance to win it again. If I analyzed the performance of Leverkusen recently, they are still quite strong to compete with Bayern Munich and Dortmund. But for UCL, honestly I don't expect much on Leverkusen. They look like not really impressive in international competitions like UCL and UEL. They never won international competitions, they are good for domestic competitions.
I think I said the same thing before, they can't break Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they lost to Atalanta in the Europa League final. If they had won that they would have equalled Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they won the DFB Pokal final in the next game.
now they have to start from scratch and it's obviously going to be a long journey and it's not going to be easy for them because they're going to be facing strong teams in all the competitions they're playing in.
And in the first Bundesliga match, Xabi and Leverkusen were still a bit less than optimal. So they almost ended in a draw. And this is what became Xabi's alertness to make the team much more solid, because there are some new players who have joined. So they have to adjust themselves to the team. And this is also actually a challenge for Xabi.Meanwhile, this time, this season, the competition in the Bundesliga will certainly be even tighter. Xabi must make extra efforts to defend the Bundesliga title this season, and also focus on other tough matches in the UCL.It will be never easy to defend the champion. Leverkusen will face the challenge, but I'm sure Xabi Alonso still has a chance to win it again.

They look like not really impressive in international competitions like UCL and UEL. They never won international competitions, they are good for domestic competitions.
In the second match, Leverkusen's opponent is Leipzig, which is certainly much stronger than the previous opponent. And this is the first challenge for Xabi to make his team superior to the club like last season. Xabi must be more careful in compiling the squad. However, with his ability and experience last season, I am quite sure that Leverkusen can also excel this time.
Oh yes, thanks for reminding me, I seem quite excited to talk about this unbeaten record, so I was not careful in reading what you said.I think I said the same thing before, they can't break Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they lost to Atalanta in the Europa League final. If they had won that they would have equalled Bayern Munich's unbeaten run because they won the DFB Pokal final in the next game.
now they have to start from scratch and it's obviously going to be a long journey and it's not going to be easy for them because they're going to be facing strong teams in all the competitions they're playing in.
I think you misunderstand what Bayern's record represents. It's not for all competitions but for Bundesliga games only, meaning they had some losses in between Bundesliga games (i.e. in European cups etc).
As for Leverkusen, the loss to Atalanta did finish their run of undefeated games across all competitions but didn't break their run of undefeated games in the Bundesliga. They're still going with that second run and don't have to start from scratch.
Leverkusen is playing against Lepzig right now. After half an hour, we have a goalless draw, but Leverkusen is dominating with shots on goals, so might find their way to the net eventually.Leverkusen lost the game despite having a two-goal lead. Early loss for Leverkusen this season means that they will not be able to defend their Bundesliga title. The focus of Xabi Alonso's team should be bigger than just winning the Bundesliga but also involve performing well in the Champions League that has a new format. If Leverkusen are able to do well in the Champions League, their fans may be able to permit a slip in the defense for the Bundesliga title.

I don't think we can be too quick to conclude that they won't be able to defend the Bundesliga title just because they lost one game, while we are still early in the season and there are still many games to play.Seems quickly for predicting Bayern Leverkusen will loss their dominance in Bundesliga after defeating by RB Leipzig last match, the Bundesliga played two matches and very early for predicting which one team will loss dominance for winning Bundesliga trophy although Bayern Leverkusen get their first defeated in this season.
It depends on them too, if they can bounce back by getting points in the next games, then they still have a chance to defend the title. It's just that now the hope of finishing the league without losing is gone.
Meanwhile, Bayern scored a 2-0 win over Freiburg and moved to the 2nd place of the table behind Heidenheim.
I don't think we can be too quick to conclude that they won't be able to defend the Bundesliga title just because they lost one game, while we are still early in the season and there are still many games to play.Agree. It is too early to exclude Bayer Leverkusen from the race of Bundesliga title. It is still very early of the season, Leverkusen has many chances to be back to the top of the standings. Although Bayern Munich looks to have the highest chance to win the Bundesliga title now, but there is no guarantee that Bayern Munich can keep their consistency winning every match. But sure, Leverkusen failed to maintain their unbeaten record.

This is only the second match in the Bundesliga. Previously, Leverkusen managed to win and in the second match, they lost. This is quite surprising, but when you look at the opponent, it makes sense because Leipzig is a club that is indeed superior, even winning the UEFA Europa League. Although last season, Leverkusen always won, this season is a bit different. Leipzig is also strengthening its team.I don't think we can be too quick to conclude that they won't be able to defend the Bundesliga title just because they lost one game, while we are still early in the season and there are still many games to play.Agree.

But sure, Leverkusen failed to maintain their unbeaten record.
The point is, we'll just see how the next matches go. Xabi knows what he must do to improve the squad's ability to win again and again. This is a chance for Xabi to bring Leverkusen much stronger and ready again in every match, both in the Bundesliga and in the UCL which will certainly be very tight and difficult.In this match, Leverkusen actually did well, especially when they were ahead in the first half, until they were really ahead 2-0. However, in the second half, Xabi realized that they lost control, and gave Leipzig more space. Their defense was really messy, their focus was divided. Especially when the position was the same, this made them even less focused and finally gave Leipzig the opportunity to turn things around.

Well, the second half is all visible, when they have completed 17 matches in the first round. Also usually in the second half the difference in points between the teams will also be striking, which teams are competing at the top, middle and bottom.I don't think we can be too quick to conclude that they won't be able to defend the Bundesliga title just because they lost one game, while we are still early in the season and there are still many games to play.Seems quickly for predicting Bayern Leverkusen will loss their dominance in Bundesliga after defeating by RB Leipzig last match, the Bundesliga played two matches and very early for predicting which one team will loss dominance for winning Bundesliga trophy although Bayern Leverkusen get their first defeated in this season.

Have many crucial and super big match with candidate team face each other, I think second half season very accurate for predicting about Bayern Leverkusen has opportunity for defending theri domestic league tittle or Bayern Munich will be favorite team.
Yes, maybe because they felt they were already ahead so in the second half they really lost control and found it hard to really focus again. especially when it turned out that their counter attack really made a goal into Leverkusen, they looked shocked and made them lose focus even more. This is what Leverkusen players must also improve so that they are much more mentally prepared in any position.The point is, we'll just see how the next matches go.

Borussia Dortmund is one of the big teams in the Bundesliga, almost every season they are always below Bayern Munich, except last season, they had to be eliminated far from the second rank they usually occupy.
I want to see their journey this season, seeing the beginning of the Bundesliga I can't see fully whether they will be able to be better or not. However, from the 2 matches they have played, they have won 1 and drawn 1.
Well that's what I can't understand about them, because if they want, they can actually show something better, it's just that they prioritize business over achievement.Borussia Dortmund is one of the big teams in the Bundesliga, almost every season they are always below Bayern Munich, except last season, they had to be eliminated far from the second rank they usually occupy.

They would always finish at the top of the table, but they haven't won the league in over 12 years, the last time they reached for the title was in the 2011/12 season. They were very close in 2022/23 though, when they ended up with the same number of points as Bayern.
It seems like Dortmund's owners are quite content with staying behind Bayern, as they don't tend to splash out money on expensive sign-ups etc.

The game ended 2-3; Leipzig won the game.It was a bad result for Leverkusen. They missed 3 points and it makes Bayern Munich and Leipzig to lead the table. It is not a good start for Leverkusen and they failed to keep their unbeaten record. I think Leverkusen didn't performance as well as in the previous season. It may be caused some players leaving the club. Or other teams in Bundesliga have improved their strengthen.
Yes, that's right, this is important feedback and evaluation for all of them. Because, in the future, there will be many difficult matches that they have to face, not only in the Bundesliga, but also the UCL that awaits them.snipped..
All this is a learning experience , for Xabi Alonso all this will be feedback to his team, they know that they are doing things well, but there is something that is costing them, it is how to maintain the result, or to stay calm when they should defend well
Don't worry., Leverkusen still hold more winnings than TSG Hoffenheim. So, I still believe in Xabi who can restore the confidence of all players quickly to fight much better. Because, they need continuous wins in the future. I'm sure Leverkusen will win.snipped..In the next match, Leverkusen will compete against a regular team. At least they can neutralize their emotions and disappointment over the defeat.

This is different from their opponents, namely Dortmund and Heidenheim, who have to fight each other in the early stages of the season. There are many pros and cons for both of them. It's just that, I think Dortmund might win. Eh, but I don't know, Heidenheim is not a weak opponent either.
Indeed, if you look at the head-to-head, Leverkusen should definitely win, hopefully Xabi and his friends will not make any mistakes in the match. Because, really, Leverkusen needs a full 3 points to be able to catch up with the clubs competing for the Bundesliga title. This is not easy, but it does not mean it is impossible, right?In the next match, Leverkusen will compete against a regular team.

Our discussion or question about Leverkusen to be able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga is over after they suffered a defeat when facing Leipzig. Indeed, maintaining it will be much more difficult and that is what Leverkusen feels.Yes, it's exactly finished.
And now, Leverkusen is struggling to be able to maintain as the winner of Bundesliga in which it is also going to be difficult. Because the competition in Bundesliga is much tighter and more competitors are starting to show the strength of their clubs that are more consistent in the future. This will be even more exciting, the Bundesliga is no longer like a few years ago which was quite boring. Now, there are many speculations and predictions in the Bundesliga, not only Bayern Munich dominates, but there are more and more clubs that have the potential to compete there. Moreover, the Bundesliga also sends a large number of clubs to the UCL match.
Sebastian Kehl says they want to perform at the top level to compete in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, Champions League, and Club World Cup but their squad doesn't look promising, although results so far have not been too bad.

Talk is cheap. It doesn't seem like they are willing to put the money where their mouth is and invest in top-shelf players to stop being a permanent underdog in the European cups, counting mostly on luck.
As I said before, to me it looks like the club is content with staying in the shadow of Bayern (and maybe now Bayer as well), and they're not willing to risk any money to take the club to another level.
This is what we expect that the competition will increase and make it more interesting to see the competition. Leverkusen is the team that is awaited this season, because they are the team that holds the status of defending champion.Our discussion or question about Leverkusen to be able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Bundesliga is over after they suffered a defeat when facing Leipzig.

However, their chances of defending the title are still there and still very open for them. Now they have to learn from the defeat they received this season, they must be able to use it as a spur to make them even better.
Of course, because otherwise, it would be very boring, wouldn't it? Because for now, it's still a debate who will be the Bundesliga trophy holder this season, and it's fun. From when only Bayern Munich was dominant, it was boring because before the season started, we already knew that the winner would be Bayern Munich. But this season is different, we will really be curious.And now, Leverkusen is struggling to be able to maintain as the winner of Bundesliga in which it is also going to be difficult.

I like competition, the more competitive it is the better for the fans :)
A history filled with thrilling football, legendary clubs, great players, sportsmanship, and respect in this league.
This season the Bundesliga will present more entertaining and world-class football.
Yes, Leverkusen failed to keep their unbeaten record because Leipzig defeated them. This season Leverkusen has no chance to finish the season with unbeaten record again. Everything looks to change in this season, Leverkusen is no longer as strong as the previous season.I think this is right. Leverkusen lost to Leipzig so they can not go whole season without losing game. They do not seem as good as they were last season. They still have chance to win league but they have not been playing well lately.
It is true that they still have a chance to win Bundesliga title. It is still the beginning of the season, there are still too many matches left. But if we analyze their current performance, they look not really convincing anymore. I even consider Bayern Munich and Dortmund to be a better candidate of the champion this season.

Borussia Dortmund will host Heidenheim this week, it will be a challenging match for them because Heidenheim itself started the league quite well.Dortmund is cool, this time beating Heidenheim with a score of 4 - 2.
Borussia Dortmund will be the favorite team in this match, but that doesn't mean they will be able to win easily. Heidenheim will also come with the target of getting points at Borussia Dortmund's headquarters, they don't want to go home empty-handed.Dortmund scored three goals in the first half; they scored one more goal in the second half, which has started. Gamblers who bet on Dortmund to win have won their bet, just as those who bet on over 2.5 goals. Good win for Dortmund, and good three points for this game week as they start it as the league leaders pending games from Bayern and league defender Leverkusen. Bayern's away game should also be a win for them, they are looking good this season under Kompany.
Dortmund is cool, this time beating Heidenheim with a score of 4 - 2.
But Dortmund really dominated the match even from the beginning of the match, they had led very well. It's just that, actually Heidenheim's resistance through counter attacks was also quite good, but not too accurate and sharp for attacking and finishing for goals. This is an exciting match. Finally, for the time being Dortmund is in the first position of the Bundesliga first.
They can win this match and they can create a quick goal early in the match, it makes them more confident to continue the match. They managed to create 4 goals, and that resulted in a victory for them.Borussia Dortmund will host Heidenheim this week, it will be a challenging match for them because Heidenheim itself started the league quite well.Dortmund is cool, this time beating Heidenheim with a score of 4 - 2.
(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/09/13/B5nWT.png)
But Dortmund really dominated the match even from the beginning of the match, they had led very well. It's just that, actually Heidenheim's resistance through counter attacks was also quite good, but not too accurate and sharp for attacking and finishing for goals. This is an exciting match. Finally, for the time being Dortmund is in the first position of the Bundesliga first.
Fortunately, their squad is still very solid and their defense is not too bad, so they can still block Heidenheim's attacks quite well. But indeed, Nico Schlotterbeck is one of the CBs who is shining this time, even I have rumors that Real Madrid is interested in him. Especially since Real Madrid really needs CB. Nico Schlotterbeck's absence due to red cards will continue to the next match, he will be absent for 2 matches, right, based on the sanctions he must receive.Dortmund is cool, this time beating Heidenheim with a score of 4 - 2.
In the absence of Nico Schlotterbeck, Dortmund's defensive intelligence decreases and there are difficulties in defending long passes from the wings. Unlike usual, Adeyemi did not make a mistake in his last choices.
But overall the players played well, with only the referee having doubts. Unnecessary and inappropriate decisions.
Congrats... Sleeping at the Top of the table 8)
(https://i.ibb.co.com/RhNHwDh/Bayern.png)I think don't rush to say that, because this is just the beginning and the competition is still very long. Indeed they now look more ready, but that doesn't mean they will remain the same, although I hope they can be consistent throughout the season.
Bayern is still the only perfect team in the 2024/2025 Bundesliga.
Vincent Kompany brought Bayern football back He is the first Bayern coach to win his first three Bundesliga games since Niko Kovač in 2018. What a performance.
Harry Kane scored a fantastic hat-trick and one assist for Bayern, the first hat-trick for Kane this season.
I Wish him continued success and many more goals in Germany.
Vincent Kompany brings a new color to Bayern Munich's game, he wants to prove that Bayern Munich was not wrong in making the decision to appoint him as coach.
(...)
Yep. At first, I doubted it because we all know that Vincent Kompany is the last option for Bayern, but he can prove his quality.

Vincent Kompany brought Bayern football back He is the first Bayern coach to win his first three Bundesliga games since Niko Kovač in 2018. What a performance.Bayern Munich played well under his management. Bayern players could score 11 goals in 3 matches. This indicates that Bayern Munich looks more productive in scoring goals. Their defense is also improved, the defenders played more solidly. The most important thing that Bayern players could play with a better confidence now.

It's way too soon to announce Kompany's success. He didn't make any radical changes to the squad, and even without any manager on board Bayern would probably win most of their games. The key to success will be consistency in performance as well as doing well against any top 5 teams in the league.
So far, Bayern has only played 3 games against teams who either finished last season in the bottom half of the table or who only got promoted to the Bundesliga this season (Holstein-Kiel).
I think most people would have the same doubts about Vincent Kompany, and those doubts are justified considering what happened to his previous team in the Premier League. Although he was able to get his team promoted initially, the following season he could not compete in the Premier League.

The way he coaches and the style of play is similar to Pep Guardiola, who has a High defensive line and when attacking 2 center backs stay in the middle of the pitch. Kimmich is a deep-lying playmaker.
Vincent Kompany will make his Champions League debut as head coach tonight. The last three coaches to make their UCL debuts with Bayern have each won it with a clean sheet.
Will he be the fourth? Let's see...
I think most people would have the same doubts about Vincent Kompany, and those doubts are justified considering what happened to his previous team in the Premier League. Although he was able to get his team promoted initially, the following season he could not compete in the Premier League.Right indeed, even now there are still many comments that doubt Kompany's quality as Bayern Munich. Do you know the reason?
The point you made is indeed happening right now, yes it is a natural thing because everything will definitely have two different views, namely a positive view and a negative view. Kompany must ensure that he has a very strong mentality to answer everything that others say, especially when criticism comes. because if he cannot withstand all the pressure that exists, then it will have an impact on the team's performance. It is not easy to handle a real team like Bayern Munich.I think most people would have the same doubts about Vincent Kompany, and those doubts are justified considering what happened to his previous team in the Premier League. Although he was able to get his team promoted initially, the following season he could not compete in the Premier League.Right indeed, even now there are still many comments that doubt Kompany's quality as Bayern Munich. Do you know the reason?
1. Because it is considered that he has only won a few times (this doesn't make sense, Kompany is also new to the club ckckck)
2. Only weak opponents that Bayern Munich has just faced
(although this is partly true, but it is not easy for a new coach to make the club and the entire squad play optimally, just look at how Bayern Munich often slaughters its opponents mercilessly with a large number of goals), this is not easy.
Therefore, the only thing is let's them walk what they want to talk. haters will always gonna hate.
Yes, surely it will always be like this, there are pros and cons, between haters and fans, even between the fans themselves. We see how the fans will worship their favorite club very highly, especially when they win. However, we can also see how the fans also curse their favorite club and even each individual player when they play badly and especially lose. Then, all the debates will happen. Even, Ancelotti, Pep, and others often get negative responses from several parties.The point you made is indeed happening right now, yes it is a natural thing because everything will definitely have two different views, namely a positive view and a negative view.

And we can't stop them to talk about. Now, we see how Kompany struggles to bring Bayern Munich to the first position in the Bundesliga, and bring success in the UCL. This will not be easy, of course, but let's see their team work.
I'm not a Bayern fan, and I have to admit that there's a lot about Kompany (as a coach) that I didn't know.Kompany is just a new coach, it is normal if you don't know much about him. But Kompany proved that he deserves to manage Bayern Munich. Kompany doesn't only lead Bayern Munich to perform well in UCL, he also can show good results in Bundesliga matches. Just look at the Bundesliga standings, Bayern Munich is leading now.
But the result of the UCL match against Zagreb proved that Kompany deserves appreciation, he deserves to coach a big club like Bayern.
The best part about Kompany is that he isn’t playing "for a secure the victory" nonsense. He’s playing the Bayern way and stomping out an opponent. It was truly sensational

He hasn't proven anything yet. Winning a few games against underdogs is not enough to call it a success. And they took a big gamble by hiring him given his lack of experience in managing top-level teams.
As I said before, Bayern would win most of their games with any manager or even without one. It's not like all of a sudden they would forget how to play football.
The difficult part is to stay consistent throughout the season and perform well against higher-ranked teams, especially when the season fatigue kicks in.
We know Bayern is the dominant team in the Bundesliga but their stranglehold just got broken last season.A good start indeed for the new Bayern Munich coach who was previously doubted by many, at least what he showed in the last few matches has answered some of the doubts that some people have directed at him.
This season the management gambled by appointing Vincent Kompany as coach, and Kompany quickly told people something to prove a point.
Bayern have won all three Bundesliga matches and started their European campaign convincingly.
So the Vincent Kompany era at Bayern Munich has started well. IMO
However, they should not be satisfied with what they have achieved so far, because after all the league has just started and it is still a very long journey for them until the end of the season. Not to mention the many competitions or tight schedules will be a challenge for them.Bayern Munich players are on a high morale; with the number of goals that they are scoring in each game, their confidence is high, and their only enemy at this point becomes themselves if they feel too overconfident in their abilities and underestimate opponents that they will be up against. Bayern is currently leading the Bundesliga with ease, and I do not see them losing anytime soon. As for Bayer Leverkusen's title defense, it is too early to say, but I think they will not be able to do so.
Relentless is how I describe Bayern Munich's performance against Werder Bremen. They will most likely hit a wall at some point but let's enjoy how they are playing right now. It's fun watching them as they made scoring five goals looked easy to do.When Bayern Munich traveled to Werder Bremen, they triumphed 5-0 with ease. FCB closed up business at the back and put on a fantastic offensive display. Bayern couldn't have produced more compelling stats, as they had 25 shots to Werder's none.
They have become a very productive team this season with the sharpness of their attackers in creating goals, it is a special credit for their performance this season. A trust that so far has been answered by Vincent Kompany with the strategy he has implemented.However, they should not be satisfied with what they have achieved so far, because after all the league has just started and it is still a very long journey for them until the end of the season.

When I first heard about Bayern appointing Kompany, I was highly skeptical and thought they were making a big mistake, but I'm slowly getting convinced he was the right choice.
Of course, the current team hasn't yet been tested against any of the stronger clubs, but it's hard not to be impressed by the ease with which Bayern has won all their games so far. Their current average goals scored per game is 5 (in 5 games). Kompany is clearly doing something right at least in terms of unleashing Bayern's attacking potential.
Upon rejoining Bayern for training on Monday, Kompany demonstrated that he still possesses all of his defensive abilities. By sacrificing himself, the former captain of Manchester City cemented his place in the annals of Premier League history and reminded his teammates of the quality of center back he once possessed.When I first heard about Bayern appointing Kompany, I was highly skeptical and thought they were making a big mistake, but I'm slowly getting convinced he was the right choice.

Me too. Kompany is the main man, If things stop working, it's Kompany's fault... but he has delivered. he is a good Manchester City Product.
His philosophy when defending is always the same, win the ball and keep the score, regardless of whether a defense is high or not, so far it has worked.
And the aggressiveness in attacking is very high, Bayern has scored 33 goals in 7 games under Vincent Kompany.
Can’t wait for Kompany against Flick in some weeks. Let’s see if he will pass the Barça test :)
The biggest Bundesliga game is coming up this Saturday, the current leader, Bayern Vs the current champions Bayer will clash in Munich.This is one of the most anticipated matches of the season, which will bring together a team that has the status of a new champion and a team that has just lost the title for the first time in more than a decade.
This will be the first big test for Vincent Kompany. Both teams are only 3 points apart in the table.
Bayern is a favourite with odds as follows:
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/09/25/ggRiD.png)
But let's not forget that their last game ended with Leverkusen winning 3-0. This is not something to be ignored.
I think everyone doubted Kompany, me included, and I know that I will be hated for saying this but I still do not see him as accomplished, he had a few games as Bayern coach for now and they were all great but that doesn't mean that they are going to keep going great. Xabi made Bayer Leverkusen win this league, with Bayern Munich almost every coach could win, last season was a mistake but bayern is better than any team they play, winning isn't that shocking. I think the only time I would accept would be when they guarantee their title, before that I od not think that I will consider it a good season.Everyone was doubtful with Kompany. But now, everyone begins to trust Kompany. It is normal, people may change his perspective because the change of Bayern Munich performance. It was not wrong if we doubted Kompany because he has no experience to handle a big team like Bayern Munich. But it seems Kompany can adapt well, he knows how to improve Bayern Munich well. But sure, there is no guarantee that Kompany can always bring positive results for Bayern Munich.

Football can be so surprising and that's what makes it more fun and interesting, about last season many people would be rooting for Leverkusen to win this game due to their outstanding performance last season but they've drop form this season and I believe a good number of people would pick Bayern Munich to win over Leverkusen even though they're aware that a draw is possible. Kompany's led Bayern Munich is in a great form and I'm not going to judge the game with last season performance cause this is a new season with new coach and several changes and even though you want to compare their current I don't think Leverkusen would b able to match that of Bayern Munich currently so my take is that Bayern Munich would come out victory without Leverkusen stealing any point.The biggest Bundesliga game is coming up this Saturday, the current leader, Bayern Vs the current champions Bayer will clash in Munich.I feel it will be a draw although anything can happen, and Bayern are better now than they were last season.

Last season's win was different for Leverkusen as Bayern Munich were faltering under Tuchel's coaching but now Kompany is carrying on better after seeing a few more games.
As this is my own prediction, it's still possible to bet on a draw.
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/09/27/g0EOZ.png)
I might have made a mistake including Borussia in the parlay bet, but it seemed like a sure one. They were down 0-2 but managed to score one and they "only" need 2 more to win.
Bookies are still favouring Dortmund with x1.90 odds and beating on Bochum now, you can get x4.00.
Do you guys think betting on Bochum to carry on that lead till the final whistle is a good idea?
You cannot conclude that Bayern will get all three pounts and Leverkusen will walk home without any point. Have you forgotten that all the clubs Kompany have played are all medicre teams and I will notvuse those matches as a guarantee that Kompany will be able to win the defending Champions who won the title unbeaten. It is in this match that Kompany's skill will be tested because Leverkusen is also a strong team and Xabi was able to build something out of nothing compared to Kompany who already have great players in his team.Football can be so surprising and that's what makes it more fun and interesting, about last season many people would be rooting for Leverkusen to win this game due to their outstanding performance last season but they've drop form this season and I believe a good number of people would pick Bayern Munich to win over Leverkusen even though they're aware that a draw is possible.

I immediately joined the Dormund game when I saw this score. Dortmund have been impressive, as they've successfully equalized, after a penalty was awarded to them in the 60th minute. A brilliant one-two passes got the Bochum defense confused, which lead to the error that caused the penalty. Emre can converted it from the penalty spot to level the game. Though Bochum has been trying to match the energy of Dortmund, but Dortmund are playing so good from what I have seen so far. I think they should be more cautious with their back passes, because I saw them almost giving the ball away. Dortmund might likely take all 3 points, but let's see how it goes.
Guirassy and Nimecha added another two and it's now ended at 4-2.The victory over Bochum make Dortmund moving up to second place position standings awhile have remaining two points from Bayern Munich still have one match more for this week. Dortmund show good recovery after losing last week match from Stuttgart and the victory from Bochum make confidence keep in the Bundesliga race with Bayern Munich and Leverkusen regarding their points very close right now.
I guess my parlay is saved after all. But it was surprising to see how accurate bookies can be in setting up the odds, I mean keeping Dortmund as a favourite despite them being down.
Lesson to be learned here, be careful when betting on live events and don't fall into a trap of betting on the leading team without watching the game. Things can change pretty quickly.
Dortmund is now only 2 points behind Bayern and 1 point above Leverkusen, but things will change tomorrow.
With a performance that summed up Dortmund's tenacity and attacking ability, Guirassy was unquestionably the game's MVP. The game was significantly changed by his two goals, but his overall performance was what really stood out. The key to Dortmund's comeback was Guirassy's ability to maintain the flow of play, connect with teammates, and pose a constant threat in the box.Dortmund's victory started a good week in the Bundesliga. This time too, Guirassy really gave an extraordinary performance. He scored 2 goals for Dortmund, it was not in vain that Dortmund fought for him to buy this season.
Every season there are always players who stand out with Borussia Dortmund. We can see in this match who are the players who stand out and can have a big impact on the results that Borussia Dortmund gets in this match.With a performance that summed up Dortmund's tenacity and attacking ability, Guirassy was unquestionably the game's MVP.

Even though Dortmund was initially behind by 2 goals, because the shocking moment was when Bochum was able to lead by 2 goals first. even frustrated seeing the course of the match. Until finally, an epic comeback for Dortmund players. After Guirassy's opening goal in the 44th minute, they were finally able to equalize and finally turned the lead into victory.
Finally we see the Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen rivalry match end in a draw - score 1-1
It could be said that these two teams were evenly matched if it had to end in a draw, although the pressure was more from Bayern Munich but Leverkusen was able to score the first goal even though it could be replied to again.
A draw is probably the right result for this match.
Bayern was in full control of the ball from the start to the end but what surprised me was that Leverkusen was able to score first with the only first chance that they had and that was the only shot they had in the first half. Bayern was able to equalize the goal but couldn't score any other goal despite their dominance and so many shot that they took. Bayern might finally be the winner of this year's Bundesliga title because from their performance, it shows that Kompany has done a great work on the team.Finally we see the Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen rivalry match end in a draw - score 1-1

A draw was most definitely expected in this match and I was not shocked by the result either. Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen are the two best teams in the Bundesliga and their fierce match today is enough reason to believe that already. This is to show how serious the title fight is going to be amongst this two teams, they are both in their best form and no one among them could prove superior over the other person. They individually have a big task ahead of them to win the title, I expect them to do their best to achieve that while waiting to meet in the second leg in the league later on.
Yeah right this result won't be a surprise because I said before a draw is still a possibility rather than a win, they are the best team in the Bundesliga.Finally we see the Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen rivalry match end in a draw - score 1-1

But honestly I am still quite worried about their current performance, because they have to fight harder to get the win, even at the beginning they had to be behind by 2 goals first.Dortmund were lucky to have finished that game scoring four goals and winning even after going behind in score. They will not always be lucky and be able to get a comeback in games against teams, they need to win games without struggling from behind to do it.
~When a team has 69% ball possession, you would expect them to have more opportunities to win and Bayern did have the better chances to make it 2-1 at least. If anything, I think this is a better result for Leverkusen. Maybe it's just luck that Leverkusen earned a point (thanks also to the post that prevented a Gnabry goal).
Bayern Munich could not get a win against Bayer Leverkusen, 1-1 was what the game ended. Two young coaches going head-to-head, Xabi against Kompany, and getting one point each. It is a better result for Bayern Munich who are have a better standing in the Bundesliga than Leverkusen.
Kompany's lead Bayern Munich is doing wonders this season, sometimes it's not good to underestimate someone, before he got signed many fans talked bad about him and how he'll be worst than the previous coach, some even said he took his former club Burnley to relegation and what more were the board expecting from him at Bayern Munich if not a worst season but then he's currently proving his critics wrong and has been unbeaten so far, even having a better performance against against Leverkusen which the previous coach couldn't do. Well, I expected a full time win from Bayern Munich but a draw against the defending champions is not a bad one moreover they were the most outstanding in the game but couldn't convert the chances they had, Leverkusen were lucky to score the opening goal and steal a point in the match.

Well that's the problem, maybe they were lucky in this match, but they won't always get the same luck, especially when they face a team that is stronger than the opponent they faced before.But honestly I am still quite worried about their current performance, because they have to fight harder to get the win, even at the beginning they had to be behind by 2 goals first.Dortmund were lucky to have finished that game scoring four goals and winning even after going behind in score.

Bayern have won all three Bundesliga matches and started their European campaign convincingly.

Maybe it's just luck that Leverkusen earned a point (thanks also to the post that prevented a Gnabry goal).Not important with ball possession around 69% because Bayern Munich only have 3 shots on target, I think its huge problem for Bayern Munich after impressive performance recently but facing the top team got difficulty continues the winning trend. Bayern Munich keep on the top position but remaining one point from Frankfurt and make excited for the first standings position because until 5th standings place remaining three points left.
Dortmund were lucky to have finished that game scoring four goals and winning even after going behind in score.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, were very lucky to get one point yesterday against Bayern Munich because Vincent Kompany's side was putting much pressure on the Leverkusen defence, and despite Bayern Munich's dominance in the match, they couldn't defeat Leverkusen, but this season, I am very sure that Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga because their squad needs reinforcement, which if they don't during the January transfer window, Bayern Munch will keep dominating and they will end up winning the league.You might need to look at the simple differences.
You might need to look at the simple differences.Yes When we compare Munich and Leverkusen teams we see they have different strengths. Munich has strong attack and defense like you said. Leverkusen has strong defense but their attack is not as good as Munich. Looking at these differences it is easy to see why Munich will lead Bundesliga.
Munich : Has a stronger and higher quality attacking and defensive line.
Leverkusen : They may not have an attacking line like Munich, but they have a stronger defense compared to Munich.
Well, from here you can compare and take a closer look at who deserves to lead the bundesliga. And I will answer that Munich will lead. Not Leverkusen.
Indeeed, they do well every season. And eventually they will bring out top players, and we know what will happen to them.With a performance that summed up Dortmund's tenacity and attacking ability, Guirassy was unquestionably the game's MVP.Dortmund's victory started a good week in the Bundesliga. This time too, Guirassy really gave an extraordinary performance. He scored 2 goals for Dortmund, it was not in vain that Dortmund fought for him to buy this season.
I'm slightly disappointed in Stuttgart, they took a lead against Sparta Praha and dominated on the pitch, to eventually finish with only 1 point after 1-1 draw. They could do better than that.
Of course, we have seen that Munich is in a better side than Leverkusen to win the league because already Bayern is three points ahead of them. Bayen also is very sharp and fast with the ball whenever they have it, making it look as if Kompany made the bond between the players stronger than before. Bayern will not find it difficult in winning other clubs in the league only if there is an injury case that can decline their performance. Bayern has not been defeated in both domestic and European competition this season.Leverkusen, on the other hand, were very lucky to get one point yesterday against Bayern Munich because Vincent Kompany's side was putting much pressure on the Leverkusen defence, and despite Bayern Munich's dominance in the match, they couldn't defeat Leverkusen, but this season, I am very sure that Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga because their squad needs reinforcement, which if they don't during the January transfer window, Bayern Munch will keep dominating and they will end up winning the league.You might need to look at the simple differences.

Bayern will not find it difficult in winning other clubs in the league only if there is an injury case that can decline their performance. Bayern has not been defeated in both domestic and European competition this season.A 3-point advantage is not a big advantage, especially since there are still a lot of matches this season, so they can't be calm even with the advantage they currently have.
I haven't seen the full Villa - Bayern match and looking only at the game statistics, I was of the impression that Bayern was heavily dominating the game with ball possession of 70% and a significant advantage in shots on goal and that their loss was mostly due to bad luck.
But I've just watched some highlights and it doesn't at all look like Bayern could pose that much of a threat to Villa. They had some chances but so did Villa, and, if anything, it seemed like an even game. And not to mention that Upamecano should've been sent off for that two tactical fouls he committed.
Meanwhile, Bayern's next rival, Eintracht Frankfurt, is beating Besiktas 2-0 in Istambul.
What a great day for Bayern, both of their top competitors in the race for the title lost points today.
Borussia Dortmund has lost to Union Berlin, who now has overtaken BvB and are placed 6th (BvB is 7th). And the biggest surprise of the day is Holstein Kiel, a team from the very bottom of the table (with only 1 point before today) manages to earn a point in an away game against Leverkusen, despite being down 2-0 after only 8 minutes.
What's going on with Leverkusen?
After not playing well against Wolfsburg, it happened again to them in this game.
Leverkusen didn't deserve any points at all. 10 minutes of football, 80 minutes of incompetence. IMO
Leverkusen didn't play smart enough after taking the lead, They seemed to underestimate their opponent.
Very bad, I'm very disappointed but I hope there are many things they can take from this game, and do better next time.

It's hard to blame them, to be honest. They played against the weakest team in the league who managed to score only one point in 5 games, and then were up 2-0 after only 8 minutes. It's almost impossible not to get overconfident in such scenario.
There's some consolation that all their main rivals (other than Leipzig) also lost points in this round: Dortmund, Bayern, and Stuttgart. So it's not like Leverkusen is the only team that underdelivered this week. A lot of bets must have been lost...
I doubt that, Leipzig is always a decent enough team, they have some good money backing them, but they can't be winners, not this season at least. Maybe in the future when they get a great team together they might, and if other teams not do so well, then there is a chance. But this season it doesn't look like a possibility. You never know in world of football obviously, it could happen or maybe not happen, we never know whats going to happen, but eventually its going to be better one way or another. We just need to make sure everything seems like its looking alright for the time being, and we can get greater results.Leipzig is a team that can compete at the top of the standings, but they are not strong enough to be champions. Mentality is one of the things that a team must have, without mentality they will quickly decline even though their performance is very good, the better the performance the greater the pressure.
All of the bets were ruined because of poor performance from the big teams... Makes a loss of money from the gamblers.
Sometimes a match that looks very easy for a team becomes a surprise at the end, a Football mystery.
Leverkusen messed up big time this weekend, Almost lost to the worst team in the league, the easiest win they can get but they sold it.
So if they will have a 2:0 lead in the next game I will turn my TV off :D

Yes, I know what you mean I found it quite strange that Leverkusen are like this. Now I see that teams can have a great season but they have to maintain their level. If they now drop due to their level, their performance has to adapt Sometimes Leverkusen seems devastating , and in fact they are like that, but I don't know if they get tired or careless or overconfident , but from one moment to Another things get out of hand. At this point , it can't happen anymore because any game they lose is -3 points , which they really need at the end of the Bundesliga.
It is actually not something strange when a team has to experience negative results from a match that they should have won. The result made many bettors lose because the results were far from predictions.All of the bets were ruined because of poor performance from the big teams... Makes a loss of money from the gamblers.

Do you guys think Leipzig is a serious contender for the title and could give Bayern a run for their money? Or are they not strong enough to keep it up?Why not? Leipzig looks performing quite consistent in this season. Leipzig also becomes stronger with some famous players there. I think this team may have a chance to compete for the title until the end of the season.
They're a bit weird team, they've been doing really good in the past years and would always finish somewhere in the top, but nobody ever mentions them as a serious prospect for the league winner. They had a big away win against Leverkusen (3-2) this season and currently have the same points as Bayern, but are not doing that great in the Champions League as they've lost their first 2 games.
Before the start of the season, I was rooting bor Leverkusen but started having doubts about whether they are capable of defending the title.
We all know the previous season was exceptional and impossible to replicate, but I still expected a better start to this season. You could justify losing points to Leipzig or Bayern, as they are the top teams, but the latest draw at home against Holstein Kiel, a team from the very bottom of the table, was particularly disappointing.
On a positive note, Leverkusen is doing really well in the Champions League, with 2 wins in the first 2 rounds (against Feyenoord and Milan). I still believe they have what it takes to defend the Bundesliga title if they manage to stabilise their performance at a high level.
BTW, I like the Bundesliga this season, the competition looks tighter and every team is showing significant improvement.
BTW, I like the Bundesliga this season, the competition looks tighter and every team is showing significant improvement.
That's how it is, and I remember very well when before many people said that the Bundesliga was getting boring, that it was very bad, that it was always Bayern, but it was not very well understood that things happened that way with that team because they were the best at that moment and that was why they won, of course then Dortmund's recovery, then Leverkusen was something that changed everything, so on a personal level things are different now, the Bundesliga already has many teams that already have the potential to win the Bundesliga, Bayern can't afford to be careless now , neither Leverkusen nor anyone else, things are better now.
I don't think that Bayern dominant is over because they still remain the favorite to win the league. The season is still early, and we shouldn't go into conclusion because some of these clubs might not be able to keep their consistency till the end of the season. Bundesliga will become very interesting in upcoming season because other clubs are eager to win the league like Leverkusen did last season.BTW, I like the Bundesliga this season, the competition looks tighter and every team is showing significant improvement.

The story of the times when Bayern so dominant is over, it is all clear in the table, the points gap between the top five is very tight.
Over the years, the Bundesliga has polished many talented players to maturity, from homegrown talents like Julian Brandt, Timo Werner, and Kai Havertz to imported talents like Christian Pulisic and Erling Haaland
And in the next few years, the Bundesliga may be able to shift the position of the Premier League as the most popular football competition in the world.
Some say that Leverkusen absolutely need to win their next game against Frankfurt, but I don't think it will be a deciding one. It will still be a good test for Leverkusen to prove if they should be considered to be a serious contender in the race for the title.Not a decisive match but a win will make them more trusted to be able to defend the title this season. Their opponent has the status of a team that can be a threat, so a win would be very meaningful.
But to be fair to them, Leverkusen does not play that badly at all this season, it's more that the luck was just not on their side in matches against Leipzig and Holstein-Kiel. They absolutely dominated in both of those games, but their opponents were surprisingly successful in converting the little chances they had into goals. If not for those 2 flops, Bayer would be now at the top with 16 points.

Although they still play as they used to last season, luck is not on their side as it was last season, and Bayern, as a matter of fact, are even better this season than they were under Tuchel. I do not think any team will be able to stop Bayern Munich from winning the Bundesliga this time.

However, I think we can't exclude Leverkusen and other teams to be the candidate of the champion in Bundesliga. The season is still in the beginning, there are too many remaining matches. It is not impossible that Bayern Munich and Leipzig to lose points in the next few matches. Sometimes there is a big change in the middle of the season.
Dortmund open up this Bundesliga GW with a win over St. Pauli. Not unexpected, but it is expected they keep winning if they want to remain in the top four.Dortmund looks improving their performance and try to play more consistent. I am sure Dortmund will return to the top 4 (UCL zone). Dortmund got 2 unexpected losses so far. I think this won't happen again in the next few matches.
Bayern Munich was able to dismantle Stuttgart defense in the second half and they scored four goals to end the match. It was a terrible day for Stuttgart as they were humiliated without reserve on a clean sheet. I didn't expect much goals in this match from Bayern Munich because the first half ended in a goalless draw. Bayern continues topping the table with their outstanding performance this season. Kompany is a good coach and will bring the title back to Allianz Arena.Kane really found a second home in Bayern didn't he? Scoring a hat-trick against a decent team in Stuttgart is no easy feat. It's interesting how the table has turned out after seven weeks with the top four only separated by one game but there's a massive difference in goals.
Harry Kane's new home has been found here, he has already started scoring goals in the Bundesliga.Bayern Munich was able to dismantle Stuttgart defense in the second half and they scored four goals to end the match.

Indeed, Bayern Munich is still one of the unbeatable teams in the Bundesliga right now, but this season has raised the stakes a little bit. The other teams are also improving and only maintaining the result a constant factor for any team including Bayern. Tactful as it was handling them, sometimes Kompany or any other manager, there is always the danger of last season imitation. It is good to see new strong teams appearing in the Bundesliga and all this makes the competition more interesting. It also knows that dominance within a league by one club for a longtime feels repetitive, thus more competition is the best thing to create more fun for the fans in football.I don't think that Bayern dominant is over because they still remain the favorite to win the league.

Yes. They are still the favorites, and Bayern Munich is still strong, but this season Bayern must be ready to face a tougher challenge and consistency not only for other clubs but also for Bayern, If Kompany is not careful, last season will repeat.
The Bundesliga teams are now filled with many good teams and the competition is more difficult to predict.
And yeah this is not a bad thing, the Bundesliga finally looks more interesting.
Too much dominance from one club will make the competition uninteresting.
No surprises in this round so far.
I was wrong to think Stuttgart would put up a good fight against Bayern. They were absolutely demolished in the second half, losing 4-0, with Kane scoring a hat trick. What's worse, Stuttgart's possession was only 34%, and they only made one shot on target (and four shots total). That's a clear sign they will not repeat the last season success when they finished in the 2nd spot.
Good performance by Leverkusen against strong Eintracht, who were placed 3rd before this round. They've won 2-1 despite a missed penalty and were clearly a dominating side. Bayer have now jumped into the 4th place and are 3 points behind Bayern.

Unbelievable with Bayern Munich performance under Vincent Kompany although firstly many fans doubt with his reputation after Burnley as his previous team relegated to EFL Championship.
Well done, Xabi... Leverkusen is still on trackXabi completed a good job even though they are 3 points behind Bayern Munich it can still be caught up with many other matches.
Three points, Robert Andrich and Victor Boniface got the job done.
It is time to rest and prepare for the Champions League but tell Boniface that he must be in there, He is always making the fans proud.

In the Champions League Leverkusen will travel to Brest who also have 2 wins this is not an easy task even though in this match Leverkusen is the favorite.
But maybe Xabi will try his best to win it again.

although clearly right now I like how Bayern is playing, however I give Leverkusen and Dortmund a credible support, they are teams that really are very good.
Bayern Munich had to swallow defeat when they visited Barcelona in the continuation of the Champions League match 3, yes they had to lose with a score of 4-1, this was a painful defeat for them.
Actually their game was good, it's just that some players were not in very good condition, one of them was their goalkeeper. This was also the result that finally broke the positive record when they faced Barcelona.
Bayern lost against Barca, Leipzig lost against Liverpool, Stuttgart won against Juventus...the most surprising thing is Leverkusen who struggled to develop their game against the small French team, Brest.Bayern's performance in the Champions League against teams from the English league and Barcelona from Spain has not been encouraging to say that they can win the competition yet. I feel that the coach, Vincent Kompany, still needs some experience in the competition, as he is relatively new to it. They have the team that can win it but still lack that tactical brilliance against top teams from other leagues.
This is very natural, because they are facing the best teams in their respective leagues, so there will be difficulties and even it will end in a crushing defeat like what Bayern Munich experienced.Bayern Munich had to swallow defeat when they visited Barcelona in the continuation of the Champions League match 3, yes they had to lose with a score of 4-1, this was a painful defeat for them.

French Village Team Holds Bundesliga Champion to a Draw. lol
It seemed I expected too much from Bundesliga teams in the European competition.
The quality of their performances is not enough to compete with other big clubs.

first thing that is achievable for Vincent Kompany now is to restore Bayern to Bundesliga glory as champions, then he can try again in the Champions League.
Bayern Leverkusen has the ability to retain the title again as they still have thesame set of players that won the league title last season. And with the few matches that have been played they have shown that they can winIndeed. It is not impossible that Leverkusen can win again the title of Bundesliga. But I think it will be more difficult than the previous season. You can see the position of Leverkusen now, they are in the 4th place only. Bayern Munich and Leipzig look to have a higher chance to win the trophy of Bundesliga. These teams are still unbeaten, everyone must realize that Bayern Munich and Leipzig are more superior than Leverkusen in Bundesliga this season.
If they are consistent with their form they still have great chances of winning
The biggest favourite of this round is, of course, Bayern, who are playing against Bochum, who are at the very bottom of the table. Anything other than a high win will be a surprise.

Although the side is struggling in the Champions League, Bayern Munich continues to play well in the Bundesliga, and the chances of tasting the title are bright. This domestic competition has made us comfortable that they will be dominant especially on teams below their standing like Bochum. Bayern sure have maintained their strength as one of the powerful teams in the Bundesliga from the current season.The biggest favourite of this round is, of course, Bayern, who are playing against Bochum, who are at the very bottom of the table.

In the UCL and in the La Liga, those are two different competitions that needs to be well played by Bayern Munich but unfortunately they didn’t do well in their last match against Barcelona. This is not even something we can use to judge their performance in the Bundesliga. They may not be good at the champions league but they’re very much going to dominate the Bundesliga because I feel they’re most opportune there to win a trophy than they would in the Champions League. Bochum was a smaller team in quality and performance compared to them, so they didn’t have problems winning them.

Jurgen Klopp is facing some backlash (mostly from Dortmund fans) after accepting job position from Red Bull:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14021427/Jurgen-Klopp-responds-criticism-controversial-Red-Bull-former-Liverpool-boss-admits-didnt-consider-fan-backlash-taking-role.html
Red Bull effectively owns RB Leipzig, along with several other sports clubs. While Klopp won’t be acting as a coach, he is expected to be involved in managing these endeavors.
Today I learned that Lepizig is considered to be the most hated club in Germany, as it's seen as a symbol of commercialisation of football, after it was taken over by Red Bull, who packed a lot of money in it and moved it from 5th division to the Bundesliga. Many German fans see this as going against the country's football tradition and sport ethos.
We're opening this round with Leverkusen Vs Stuttgart tomorrow evening. Leverkusen are the favourite, but Stuttgart won't go easy. In the last 5 games between these two teams, we had 4 draws and one win by Leverkusen.It seems the game is heading for another draw because, at the 80th minute, Leverkusen is still drawn with Stuttgart. It may be a fixture where we have late goals, but that is highly unlikely because Leverkusen are not quite as lucky as they were last season with the undefeated record.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen x1.53; Draw x5.00; VfB Stuttgart x5.00The odds for the draw is very good, It will be a good win for anyone who took that bet if the game ends goalless.
So the only today's game between Leverkusen and Stuttgart ended with a disappointing goalless draw.Leverkusen this season has had several unsatisfactory results. Yes, they look more down this season compared to last season. Xabi Alonso must immediately evaluate everything so that they can return to their best performance.
As I mentioned before, before today, 4 out of the last 5 games between those two ended up with draws, so seeing them splitting points tonight was not a surprise. The lack of goals was.
Despite the result, it's fair to say Leverkusen was a much better team. They had plenty of great chances but couldn't find the way to the net. It looks like they exhausted all their luck in the previous season.
The season is still very long so there are still many opportunities for Leverkusen to return to their best performance and compete again to defend the title they won last season.With the kind of form that Harry Kane is in where he cannot stop scoring goals for Bayern, it is difficult to imagine that Bayern Leverkusen will somehow be able to overtake them because Bayern look consistent in the league this season.
Actually it could be, because last season, if we talk about squad strength, Bayern Munich's squad was better than Leverkusen's, but Leverkusen could have better teamwork.The season is still very long so there are still many opportunities for Leverkusen to return to their best performance and compete again to defend the title they won last season.With the kind of form that Harry Kane is in where he cannot stop scoring goals for Bayern, it is difficult to imagine that Bayern Leverkusen will somehow be able to overtake them because Bayern look consistent in the league this season.
Leipzig who are the closest to Bayern, will face Dortmund to try get all three points to stay in line and close proximity with Bayern. Dortmund will be playing at home, they are stronger there.

In contrast to this season, Leverkusen does not seem to be running like last season in teamwork. Whether it is because Xabi is approaching his strategy, or this is because his players are indeed declining. Some changes in the squad may also have an effect.
Yes, they have experienced 4 draws until the 9th week of the Bundesliga. They are indeed difficult to beat, but they are also difficult to win so they can only collect 16 points from 9 matches.

Draws seem to be the new trend in Leverkusen :)
Leverkusen are still playing an attractive game, with dominant possession but somehow it seems like winning is something they have found very difficult to do this season.
Tomorrow Alonso is to be back at Anfield. The Champions League at Anfield. Welcome home, Alonso...
I hope he did not regret coming back, Liverpool under Slot this season has been extraordinary.
Superb performance over the weekend by Slot to come from behind and win the game when the rivals were dropping points.
Focusing on the Target and Getting Ready for a Good Game...
It is very unfortunate that they had to lose badly in the Champions League, Liverpool successfully embarrassed them with a score of 4 goals without reply. They could not do much in this competition and they had to go home with disappointment.
Leipzig Champions League campaign has been nothing but disappointment so far. Tonight, they've lost their 4th UCL game in a row and are occupying 31st place with zero points. At least they'll be able to focus on the league.
Leverkusen got badly punished by Liverpool. The loss is not much of a surprise, as Liverpool have been playing really well recently, but I still expected Leverkusen to put up a better fight.
Although Leipzig's performance in the Champions League competition this season is not really a big surprise to me because they are doing well in the Bundesliga and they won’t want to lose their current position in the Bundesliga, and not all teams are able to perform well in all competitions they are participating in, so I think they should focus more on the Bundesliga competition so they may be among the top teams for the title race.
actually I am not surprised if they have to lose, but I am surprised by the number of goals that nested into their goal. Because from the beginning this was categorized as a fierce match, and even they were also favorites if they met last season.

It's not a surprise to me...Thanks to Slot for the transformational move that increased Liverpool's intensity. Slot's tactical flexibility resulted in a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, The players performed well under his leadership.
And the Anfield atmosphere, especially during big games. Be it a thrilling European night or a heated Premier League match, the crowd at Anfield can create a special energy that gives Liverpool players an extra boost.
Alonso walks alone...

Xabi must evaluate everything, he must find out the cause of why they have to experience this decline. Because they are a team that is also considered, but so far they are not as expected.
. Bayern sure have maintained their strength as one of the powerful teams in the Bundesliga from the current season.
The ups and downs of a team's performance are very common, we will always find it in any team and in any league. Even a team like Bayern Munich who is in the same league with them with years of holding the title when they have to decline then the decline occurs.actually I am not surprised if they have to lose, but I am surprised by the number of goals that nested into their goal.

I have a lot of respect for Xabi and Leverkusen, but this season they have been different. Conceded 1.56 goals per game this season, and 4th in the Bundesliga.
The 4-0 defeat is certainly very embarrassing, we don't know exactly what caused it but it will be interesting to see how Alonso handles this puzzle and finds the right solution to revive his team.
Top teams must be able to adapt and improve not only from season to season but also throughout the season.
Easy games for Bayern and Leverkusen tomorrow (St Pauli and Bochum respectively). The most interesting one seems to be Stuttgart Vs Eintracht. It will be a real test for the Frankfurt team, if they fail, they will likely lose their current 3rd place and will get overtaken by Leverkusen or Borussia D or both of them.Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich has been playing excellent football, which has helped them take the top spot in the Bundesliga table. I believe FC Bayern will have an easy game against St. Pauli today and I'm anticipating at least three goals from H.kane. I believe Bayern Munich will win easily because St. Pauli is currently positioned 15th in the league table with only 8 points and 9 games played.

Until half time, Bayern Munich lead 0-1 against St Pauli and seems for second half have opportunity scoring many goals again as usually Bayern always winning over two until three goals at domestic league match.
Leverkusen will play against Bochum, who are now last in the league table, and with Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga, they will find this match very easy to win.
On other match, Bayern Leverkusen lead 0-1 from Bochum and good result after bad performance last several matches and defeated by Liverpool at last match in Champion League.
Lucky that Bayern will even have a competitor because in their current form, it looks like an easy ride. Xabi should have accepted a job away from Leverkusen by now to save the record he had last season. Dropping points for the 6th time this season is not the way that their supporters would have see this season to go.On other match, Bayern Leverkusen lead 0-1 from Bochum and good result after bad performance last several matches and defeated by Liverpool at last match in Champion League.
Leverkusen couldn't drive that lead till the end and the match ended up with a 1-1 draw after Cochum equalised in the 89th minute.
Something's not clicking with this team this season, if they cannot win with a team from the very bottom of the table, which, before this round, only earned ONE point in 9 games - that's a sign of a problem.
After the first 10 rounds, I can honestly say that things are not going as I expected before the start of the season.
Bayern doesn't disappoint, I'd even say that Kompany, considering his lack of experience in managing a top team, is doing really well.
I expected much more from Leverkusen, Dortmund and, especially, from Stuttgart.
The dark horse of this season turned out to be Eintracht Frankfurt. But, even though they defeated Stuttgart on Sunday, I'm still not convinced they represent the top level and I expect them to drop down a bit as the season progresses. But my predictions were all crap, so who knows.
For a team with the strength of Bayern Munich, it is quite easy for them to return to their best performance after last season they failed to show it and it was the first time in a decade that they had to fail to defend the title.After the first 10 rounds, I can honestly say that things are not going as I expected before the start of the season.

Bayern is back, it's clear their dominance in the Bundesliga.
And yes, it's not what I expected either. a tight race just for second place. A boring season seems to be repeating itself...
All the amazing results achieved by Leverkusen last season seem to have evaporated without leaving a trace, Dortmund is poor, let alone Stuttgart.
The saddest thing is the appearance of Bundesliga clubs in the Europe Champion League or Europa League, they seem to have a hard time competing at the top
Being in 7th position is not a good sight for Borussia Dortmund. We are used to seeing them right below Bayern Munich, and previously they were also a team that was expected to be a stumbling block for Bayern Munich.
However, this season they have to fall repeatedly at the beginning of this season, it makes the trust in them decrease drastically. There needs to be an evaluation carried out by the management to discuss the future of this team.
Bayern is back, it's clear their dominance in the Bundesliga.Bayern Munich's dominance will continue in the Bundesliga even after this season likely because the only coach that has given them issues with the team he has managed which is Bayer Leverkusen, is strongly linked to Real Madrid after this season. When Xabi leaves, Leverkusen will struggle to adjust to life after him. It may take a long while before they will be able to be Bundesliga champions again because Vincent Kompany is looking like a coach that will dominate the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich again.

I personally would probably give Sahin time to be in his place, even though his team's performance is currently declining. Yes, time must still be given and there are still things that can be improved. Unless their performance is very bad, maybe I will insist that Sahin must go.Being in 7th position is not a good sight for Borussia Dortmund.

The Special Two are now in seventh place, It's not good at all. :)
Although the players are behind Sahin, it seems his magic has not worked optimally.
During his time as Assistant Coach under Edin Terzic, he built a strong bond of trust with the squad, and the board of directors also remained supportive of Sahin, but there would be no new players in the winter, despite injury concerns.
No new players being recruited means there will be no good surprises that we can expect from Dortmund.
As it is the fact that Bayern Munich has been controlling the Bundesliga for the long time now, we have to agree to the thing that every change in team and coach is capable of meaning new opportunities for the competition. The suggestion is that losing Xabi could be a problem for Bayer Leverkusen but it also could be an opportunity to really bring in new players and construct a more durable strength for the long term. However, at the same time, using the example of Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich, we should welcome that the teams are slowly searching for a way for developing stronger to create even more interesting games in the Bundesliga. A balance competition will always produce an exciting league and it will afford all the team an equal opportunity to grow.Bayern is back, it's clear their dominance in the Bundesliga.Bayern Munich's dominance will continue in the Bundesliga even after this season likely because the only coach that has given them issues with the team he has managed which is Bayer Leverkusen, is strongly linked to Real Madrid after this season.

The destiny of the Bundesliga seems only for Bayern, other clubs are just complements. :(Bundesliga is getting tighter this season, many clubs want to compete better. But unfortunately, Leverkusen, which we expect will be Bayern Munich's toughest rival again this season, has not performed optimally so far. In fact, Leverkusen has only been able to draw several times, even from small clubs, this raises doubts about Xabi to stay at the club or leave. But if he goes to Real Madrid, is Xabi really ready to manage Real Madrid with his abilities and experience? Hmm, for now it seems like not.
However, the season isn't over yet. After the international break, I still expect Leverkusen to bounce back, and Alonso will show that he is a great coach and deserves to be Ancelotti's successor in Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund supporters are very loyal, they should be able to appreciate the loyalty of the supporters more. The easiest way is to change their habits so far.
There is currently no discussion about a coaching change, The board still supports Sahin but with what is on the pitch every minute I fear the next failure.Ever the decision to change the coach is fraught with risk, and it is usually on the pitch that success or failure is marked. If the performance of the particular team gets lower we would have to look at it as the time when we consider the general management approach, not the scapegoat. Therefore the current coach has to be backed which also means that the future moves will have to be well thought out. Change is only possible and desirable if the change is premised on the correct direction to take and people’s determined effort to make things better.
If the downturn continues and Dortmund fails this season, it will not be entirely Sahin’s fault but it will be the management’s fault for getting rid of Terzic and letting Sahin come on board.
They decided to part ways with a coach who took them to the UCL finals for Sahin.
Sahin is not experienced or good enough at this level. IMO

I see Borussia Dortmund management as a management that is not in a hurry to make a decision to fire a coach, so Sahin is still quite safe at least for now.

Well, the transfer market will be one of the opportunities for them to change some players who are considered not optimal and bring in new players. But I doubt they want to spend a lot of money, because they are a team that prefers to buy players who are not too expensive.
Bayern Vs Augsburg are opening round 11 this evening.Augsburg might claim to be in a better position than St Pauli on the table but that doesn't mean that Bayern will stoop so low and share point with them, when this match is a good opportunity for Bayern to add extra three points to widen their point gap. I have already placed my bet on Bayern and I know that it will not be a disappointment because I am not expecting any surprise from this match.
On paper, it should be a walk in the park for Bayern, they're chances of winning are estimated at 86% and Augsburg's only at 5%. But then again, the team is only as good as their last performance and in their last game, Bayern had a very modest 1-0 against St Pauli who are ranked below Augsburg in the table (currently 16th), so who knows, maybe somehow Augsburg could still a point.
We need to remember that in football, results always carry an element of uncertainty. Although Bayern's performance seems superior, it is important not to rely too much on the assumption that everything will go smoothly. It is natural to support your favorite team, but managing expectations is still important so that we can take any result with more composure.Bayern Vs Augsburg are opening round 11 this evening.Augsburg might claim to be in a better position than St Pauli on the table but that doesn't mean that Bayern will stoop so low and share point with them, when this match is a good opportunity for Bayern to add extra three points to widen their point gap.

Well done to Kane for scoring the hat trick. He's now the sole leader in the top scorers ranking, with 3 goals advantage over Frankfurt's Marmoush.Harry Kane is a very consistent fellow in front of goal; every season he delivers 10+ goals for his team. Bayern will be joyful about his goal-scoring form because it will be necessary in Bayern's quest to reclaim the Bundesliga. This will be something that Harry Kane as a player will also be looking forward to.

Such pressure is inevitable, because the public who support Borussia Dortmund will demand that their coach can present the championship title or at least can show a very brilliant performance for them.I see Borussia Dortmund management as a management that is not in a hurry to make a decision to fire a coach, so Sahin is still quite safe at least for now.

One thing is clear, the board is still standing by Sahin. However, the pressure on him continues to grow.
I know, He just started his coaching career and there’s a reason coaches like Klöpp and Ancelotti say he will be a great coach but Dortmund hasn't won the league in 12 years, only one trophy in 4 years and the fans don't like mediocrity, they have to be ambitious.
Yes Harry Kane is currently at his best form currently as he is scoring allot of goals this season and hitting that 50 goals mark in just his second season in the league is not easy he needs to be commended the only problem that I have is with him is that he has not won any truphy I will really want him to win the bundesliga title this year so that he can also have a trump that he can call his own when he eventually retires from football

Hat-trick Harry Kane breaks Bundesliga record... 50 Bundesliga goals after just 43 games. Congrats, Harry!
Harry Kane might win a trophy, I hope the world doesn’t end before that :)
And since the defeat in Barcelona, Bayern have a 17-0 aggregate and six wins without conceding.
Let’s see what they do this midweek against PSG. The exciting new chapter ahead.

However in this season, Bayern Munich lead the top position standings awhile and have opportunity for Harry Kane to win his first trophy.

But as you said he has not been able to win a team title, that is the only thing we can say is lacking from him.
We are having "Der Klassiker" this Saturday, Borussia Dortmund is hosting Bayern. A clash of two of the most successful and popular clubs in Germany.This match is the match of the weekend in German league as the two biggest club's go tow to tow it's is class of the Titans as it promises to be an electrifying game this match will go a long way in determining who will be champion of the league title in Germany this match usually produces allot of goals so expect planty of goals from this game as Both team's has the same chance of winning the game. Bayern Munich will be the favorite going into the game as they will need this game to solidify their stay on the top of the league so player's like harry Kane has to put in their best to win this game because Dortmund is not a push over team in the German league they are also title contenders any day so this game will be exciting to watch, my prediction will be over 3.5 , Both team's to score those betting on this game should choose any of those two options
Both teams have performed very well in this week's Champions League round, Dortmund has easily defeated Dinamo Zagreb 3-0, and Bayern noted a much more modest win (1-0) but over a much tougher opponent, PSG.
Borussia has not been very consistent in the league this season, mixing really good games with poor ones, that's why they are a pretty big underdog, despite playing at home.
Betting on Borussia you can get x4.33, and on Bayern, x1.68. A double chance bet on Borussia at x2.05 could be worth considering. If they play at their 100% (and given the weight of the game, they might), I can easily imagine them stealing some points from Bayern.
We are having "Der Klassiker" this Saturday, Borussia Dortmund is hosting Bayern. A clash of two of the most successful and popular clubs in Germany.The big match between Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, although Dortmund is not at its top performance, but do not underestimate their ability when playing against big clubs. Their fighting spirit will be able to soar very hard and they will not easily give up like that, especially against Bayern Munich, this is also a very prestigious match and can be embarrassing and long ridicule if they lose in this match. because of that, Dortmund usually will give a pretty tough fight for this.

However, Bayern Munich will also not remain silent because after all, Bayern Munich will maintain their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga. so, this will be quite interesting to see how the fight for victory between these two clubs. but if we look at the consistency of both, I am quite sure that Kompany can bring Kane and others to win in this match vs Dortmund.
Class of titans Dortmund is already leading Bayern Munich by 1: 0 before the halftime mark the game is looking hot I think with the way this game is going it's any team that takes their chances at goal that will win the game, both teams are attacking minded I think Bayern can still come back to win the game , I think my prediction is going to work because the two teams are going to scoreThe big match between Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, although Dortmund is not at its top performance, but do not underestimate their ability when playing against big clubs.

Looks Bayern Munich more favorable team for defeating Dortmund because Bayern have 7 consecutives winning all competition and never defeating since loss from Barcelona in Champion League. In domestic league, Bayern Munich become the only one team still unbeaten yet and have few conceded goals than all Bundesliga teams.

I will hope that Dortmund try to score more goals to give them some kind of security than plan to defend the only goal they have against a Bayern side without Harry Kane who has been on a goal scoring spree. Another goal from Dortmund will take the pressure off their chest.

One point at home, Musiala destroys the hosts' dreamsBayern will be hoping that for the sake of their title run, the injury of Harry Kane is not very serious that will keep him out for a very long time. One point, I guess, is better than a loss for them—not what other teams would have wanted exactly, but they will settle with that result.
Musiala is Bayern's surplus. A gem without which there is no real game. Congratulations on today's 1-1 in Dortmund.
If we understand that Sané and Müller cannot contribute anything to Bayern's game, then Dortmund is on the right track.
Bayern will face difficult matches until the end of the year, good luck for the rest. Hopefully, Harry Kane is okay too
Bayern Munich has a very tight dependency with Harry Kane hence the absence of the star striker will definitely be a big test to the whole team. Of course, it is going to be tough to face Bayer Leverkusen without one of your important players, but Bayern have enough talent to at least give a good account of themselves as long as everyone combines well. The prospect of their joint effort on the field is a great way to counter hard moments and fans’ encouragement will help uplift the squad a lot.One point at home, Musiala destroys the hosts' dreamsBayern will be hoping that for the sake of their title run, the injury of Harry Kane is not very serious that will keep him out for a very long time.

The next game for Bayern Munich is against Las season winners Bayer Leverkusen. It is going to be a tough game, and not the game that Bayern Munich will particularly like to play without Harry Kane.

A draw is not a bad results for the both teams they will do better going forward the match was a open match with both teams having thesame probability of winning but the game end in a draw so both teams going home with a point each, other teams will close on Bayern Munich at the top of the league table with this draw. Dortmund deserve to win this game but they allowed Bayern back into the game in the second half of the game, it a good results for the rest of the top four teams as the points difference is being cut down with this drawOne point at home, Musiala destroys the hosts' dreamsBayern will be hoping that for the sake of their title run, the injury of Harry Kane is not very serious that will keep him out for a very long time. One point, I guess, is better than a loss for them—not what other teams would have wanted exactly, but they will settle with that result.
Musiala is Bayern's surplus. A gem without which there is no real game. Congratulations on today's 1-1 in Dortmund.
If we understand that Sané and Müller cannot contribute anything to Bayern's game, then Dortmund is on the right track.
Bayern will face difficult matches until the end of the year, good luck for the rest. Hopefully, Harry Kane is okay too

(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/12/01/pCGAw.png)With the current form of Frankfurt looks serious and mean business in the bundesliga league this year they have not lost a game for the last five matches that they have played and they are sitting pretty good in the league table, I think this game is already over with Frankfurt leading 3:0 away it's a convincing performance by Frankfurt one thing that I like about the German league is that they produce allot of games week in and out those gambling should use this league in betting over 3.5 goals and upwards as the league produces allot of goals
We're at the half-time of the last game of this Bundesliga round and Eintracht does not disappoint. They are leading 1-0 and if they manage to carry on this lead till the final whistle, they will reduce the gap to Bayern to 4 points.
Frankfurt has been really impressive and consistent this season, but I'm still not convinced they will maintain this high level of performance till the end of the season. I think they'll be more than satisfied if they finish in the top 4.

20 minutes in the Bayern Vs Leverkusen DFB Pokal game and we have a red card for Bayern's goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.
For the first 17 minutes, Bayern dominated in possession but playing with only 10 men surely will change the game and shift it in Leverkusen's favour.
Bookies updated the odds and Bayer is now favourite with odds at x2.30, Bayern's odds are x3.50. Still plenty of time to go and things might get interesting.
Such pressure is inevitable, because the public who support Borussia Dortmund will demand that their coach can present the championship title or at least can show a very brilliant performance for them.Well, I could say something that might sound harsh , but Dortmund is a very winning team, and they are used to making Stories and they have been very close to winning the Bundesliga , and I think that need to win the Bundesliga has made them find all these kinds of decisions that can influence the quick search for good results , and I don't blame them, they have a great fan base , if Leverkusen did it, why can't they? so I think Dortmund is a team that has that there and really wants to win it.
As long as the management still gives the opportunity, then during that time Sahin must be able to show that he is very worthy of receiving the opportunity. I think by showing good progress it will restore the public's trust in him.
I agree with you that Dortmund has been trying their best for quite sometimes now to keep the league more competitive and they have always been a threat in Bundesliga, but they haven't been lucky enough to win it despite all their efforts. If they keep on trying harder, I believe that in no time, they will win the league it might only take few more seasons.Such pressure is inevitable, because the public who support Borussia Dortmund will demand that their coach can present the championship title or at least can show a very brilliant performance for them.Well, I could say something that might sound harsh , but Dortmund is a very winning team, and they are used to making Stories and they have been very close to winning the Bundesliga , and I think that need to win the Bundesliga has made them find all these kinds of decisions that can influence the quick search for good results , and I don't blame them, they have a great fan base , if Leverkusen did it, why can't they? so I think Dortmund is a team that has that there and really wants to win it.

That's a good analogy, when comparing them to Leverkusen who were able to successfully win the title, they should have been more motivated to be able to give something very good to the fans, but in reality they weren't.Such pressure is inevitable, because the public who support Borussia Dortmund will demand that their coach can present the championship title or at least can show a very brilliant performance for them.Well, I could say something that might sound harsh , but Dortmund is a very winning team, and they are used to making Stories and they have been very close to winning the Bundesliga , and I think that need to win the Bundesliga has made them find all these kinds of decisions that can influence the quick search for good results , and I don't blame them, they have a great fan base , if Leverkusen did it, why can't they? so I think Dortmund is a team that has that there and really wants to win it.

Important win by Stuttgart yesterday, they need to start collecting 3 points more regularly if they want to keep dreaming about finishing in the top 4. It was not an easy win though. They were losing 0-2 up until the 50th minute but managed to equalise and eventually were handed the 3rd, winning goal on a silver platter by Union's goalkeeper, who just passed the ball to Stuttgart's striker. A painful mistake.It was a hard win for Stuttgart yesterday as they came back from a two goals down to come back to win 3:2 this type of win don't come by everyday as Stuttgart over came the scare of loosing at home home they really fought hard to win three points and three goals for Stuttgart is a good one for them as it will push them up higher in the table
Both Bayern and Leverkusen are playing today at home against teams from the bottom of the table, so it should be a walk in the park, but you never know.
Yes Dortmund has the trying their best to make sure that bundesliga has a main challenger for the league title as it has been a one man show before the advent of Leverkusen to win the league last year I can say that Dortmund was the only team that was keeping pressure on Bayern Munich but it was not good enough as Bayarn has been the one wining the league. I think Dortmund needs to do more by signing quality player's that can match up with Bayern Munich if they plan of winning the league any time soon as the gab between Bayarn Munich and the rest of the teams is big and Dortmund needs to close in on that gabI agree with you that Dortmund has been trying their best for quite sometimes now to keep the league more competitive and they have always been a threat in Bundesliga, but they haven't been lucky enough to win it despite all their efforts.

I was quite pessimistic when the second goal from Union Berlin happened, but 3 minutes later they were able to reduce the score.

Both Bayern and Leverkusen are playing today at home against teams from the bottom of the table, so it should be a walk in the park, but you never know.They both won the game, and the title race continues with Bayern Munich still within reach of Leverkusen. Bayern Mnich supporters will be happier for the win more after suffering defeat in their last game against Leverkusen, who also did not lose their game today. Bayern Munich needs to continue winning games to maintain the advantage they have. Any slip-up will give Leverkusen the chance to make the title race more intense.

For Dortmund, this season might be even worse than the previous one when they finished 5th. They are always considered as a serious contender for the Bundesliga championship but after only 13 rounds, the gap between Bayern and Dortmund is already 12 points. So looks like the most Dortmund can hope for this season is to end up within the top 4, which won't be easy as they just got overtaken by Wolfsburg (who are on 5 wins streak).
I agree with you that Dortmund has been trying their best for quite sometimes now to keep the league more competitive and they have always been a threat in Bundesliga, but they haven't been lucky enough to win it despite all their efforts. If they keep on trying harder, I believe that in no time, they will win the league it might only take few more seasons.
Bayern Leverkusen has not been able to replicate what they did last season there are allot of factors that we can attribute this to because the fact is no season is the same things are bound to change because injuries will also come back in and player's will also not be at their best just like victor Boniface and others who have not been in their best and have been left to the bench for some matches now and with the way they are going I don't see them going far even in the champion's league this season with the way they are playing, they score allot of goals but they also conceed plenty of goals and that way a team can't do well, maybe in the January window they will sign some new players to complement the effort of the team especially at the backline

I agree that they have not had any luck, Bayern in this Bundesliga, this season they are doing very well, the team that has surprised me the most has been Leverkusen because they have not done anything, they are not even the shadow of what they were last season, I understand that they want to concentrate on the UCL, but I have not seen the magic that they opted to see, however Dortmund has always been there, I hope that they can make the difference.
The Bundesliga is a very exciting league now, I see that Bayern want to win it again and they are doing well, will Dortmund be able to surprise us?

We can notice that they are still very dangerous in attack, but we also notice that they lack some solidity in defense. Those sites are maintained and solid so this team has a great chance and depth to challenge and handle the competition better. That will bring further depth to the squad, more notably in the back line, which will afford the necessary solidity to meet more significant tests. Altogether it can point them to more successful outcomes in the future where appropriate steps have been taken.

Undoubtedly, things are like that, Dortmund have always been there to put pressure on Bayern, will they make the difference this season as they are? Previously Dortmund stood out for preparing high caliber players and selling them, but now Dortmund is seeing this as something more lucrative if they win the Bundesliga, it is much better than selling players, and the fans support them a lot too, I like the way they are playing, they just have to be more consistent, personally I think they are on the right track, they just need to define much better in goal.Dortmund have prove that they can play with some of the best team in the world and the home fans can be the additional players. If they continue that level of passion, and apply it more consistently, especially in defence, they can be a tough nut in the league. Gaining the title, people also point out not only the skills of the team but also the passion for their work and work together. If they carry on with a lot of determination and develop the weaknesses, then they will enjoy a big upset that everyone will embrace.
Dortmund is a force to reckon with when it comes to the German bundesliga they can take on any team in the league and playing at home gives them that extra multivation and passion to play as their fan's are one of the most supportive and intimidating fan's in football so going to the signa iduna park their traditional home ground to play against Dortmund is like going to war and playing against twelve men on the pitch has the fans can be intimidating and even troublesome some timesUndoubtedly, things are like that, Dortmund have always been there to put pressure on Bayern, will they make the difference this season as they are?

Aaand Leipzig are out of the Champions League. At least according the official UEFA website who shows them as the first (and only) team that is confirmed to get eliminated. So their last 2 games remaining in the league stage (Sporting and Sturm Graz) will be for nothing.There is always something to learn from every match in the competition, and even though Leipzig failed in the Champions League this time, there is doubtless much which can be learned from it. No battle is won without a fight and sometimes the battle loss is the wake up call to build a stronger team both physically and psychologically. But as you know, we still have the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal in which we can prove to the entire world that Leipzig is a team full of talents. If all the parties involved will be committed in achieving a revival, then, it can indeed be done; perhaps this is the time to lay down a stronger building block in order to produce a more impressive results in the future.
I expected a bit more from them, given they can play really well sometimes, and, in their defence they didn't have any easy games. Still, 6 losses out of 6 games played is really poor.
At leat they can now fully focus on Bundesliga (and the DFB Pokal).
That's a good analogy, when comparing them to Leverkusen who were able to successfully win the title, they should have been more motivated to be able to give something very good to the fans, but in reality they weren't.
I think they were too selfish that they didn't prioritize what the supporters wanted. They are a team with a very loyal fan base, that should also be a motivation to present the title.
and it is difficult to achieve something very well there without bringing a full squad, even with a full squad a team still has to struggle a lot when in the Champions League, because the level of opponents faced is indeed different with a different mentality too.

Yes, and the truth is that it seems very strange to me on Xabi's part, because he more than anyone knows how important the fans are. He played in Madrid where the fans are very important. Now that he is making history in Germany he should respond a little better. Of course, the UCL approach is unique and I understand that, but sometimes you have to set limits and try to swing the ball around, I know it's difficult, the injuries, the tired players, but in part that is the level that is most competitive. You have to go there full force to achieve things.
Borussia Dortmund this season are a different team, not like what I saw from them a few seasons ago, the decline is very clear to see, how they struggle to develop their game to get a win.Dortmund this season has not been their best and are struggling to get back to their feet the problem with Dortmund is that they have this habit of selling their best player's to their main opponent in the league Bayern Munich so it will take them quiet a long time time before they can get back to their form that they where known for, because this season they are really struggling to get back to their feet
This week they will face Hoffenheim, on paper they are clearly more favored, but with the form they have at the moment, I am quite doubtful about them in this match.
Bayern Munich lost their away match to Mainz 05 perhaps those who bet on Bayern Munich will be disappointed with the result.
Points are getting closer to Leverkusen only 4 points difference for now, because the Bundesliga road is still long it can be a tight competition, I want to see where these two Bayer/n again compete tightly.
Bayern Munich lost their away match to Mainz 05 perhaps those who bet on Bayern Munich will be disappointed with the result.They will be disappointed in their results Because dropping points at this time of the season is not something they should be doing, but unfortunately they had no option; they had to play without Harry Kane, who has been a huge differential in front of goal for Bayern Munich. Leverkusen players would have celebrated Bayern's loss even more than their win against Augsburg because it means that the chance to catch up is opening up.
Harry Kane contributes a lot of goals for Bayern Munich so when he is absent it is difficult to score more goals and now they have to lose which they shouldn't.Bayern Munich lost their away match to Mainz 05 perhaps those who bet on Bayern Munich will be disappointed with the result.They will be disappointed in their results Because dropping points at this time of the season is not something they should be doing, but unfortunately they had no option; they had to play without Harry Kane, who has been a huge differential in front of goal for Bayern Munich.

Whenever we get something other than expected, then it’s always good to learn from it. Each team member is predisposed equally and when one of the members is missing it is the might of the team that should be depended on. That doesn’t negate the amount of potential which is out there but informs people to continue to push ahead, continue to seek out new ways to confront sheer adversity in the next game.Harry Kane contributes a lot of goals for Bayern Munich so when he is absent it is difficult to score more goals and now they have to lose which they shouldn't.Bayern Munich lost their away match to Mainz 05 perhaps those who bet on Bayern Munich will be disappointed with the result.They will be disappointed in their results Because dropping points at this time of the season is not something they should be doing, but unfortunately they had no option; they had to play without Harry Kane, who has been a huge differential in front of goal for Bayern Munich.

I accept this defeat because it was a surprise like any other team, sometimes the guessing is still out of the question.
And while Leverkusen will continue to chase points, Xabi and his team are trying not to lose.
Yes, that is a problem that we all know, they put business above everything, so in the end it really impacts their game because they lose a lot of very important players in the squad.Borussia Dortmund this season are a different team, not like what I saw from them a few seasons ago, the decline is very clear to see, how they struggle to develop their game to get a win.Dortmund this season has not been their best and are struggling to get back to their feet the problem with Dortmund is that they have this habit of selling their best player's to their main opponent in the league Bayern Munich so it will take them quiet a long time time before they can get back to their form that they where known for, because this season they are really struggling to get back to their feet

Another disappointing day for Dortmund fans as their team failed to win against a weak Hoffenheim at home. This is their 3rd straight Bundesliga draw and 4th game in a row without a win in all competitions.
Dortmund is a weird one, because they proved they can play at the highest level by getting to the Champions League final last season, but yet are struggling to keep in the top 6 of the Bundesliga. But I guess that's what happens when a team is not capable of performing consistently at the top level.

Harry Kane is said to possibly be back in action for the weekend game against Lepzig:This match is going to be a tricky match as both sides are title contenders for the German Bundled Liga title but going by current form I think both teams can comfortable win the match as both teams are in a good form going into this match, I think the odds given to both teams are not a true reflection of their current form because their is no way you give Bayern Munich 1.33odds against a top team like Leipzig and Leipzig is given a odd of 7.50 it's no a true reflection of the reality of their performance because when ever two big team's are playing there's the this tendency of any of the match being difficult for the both teams so this game may end in a slim victory for either of the teams as both of them can win this game
https://talksport.com/football/2386395/harry-kane-injury-update-bayern-munich/
Bayern is a big favourite with odds of x1.33, while betting on Leipzig, you can pocket x7.50. I think bookies underestimate Leipzig team a bit. Leipzig are horribly inconsistent this season, especially when we consider all competitions (i.e. including the Champions League) but they still have one of the best defence in Bundesliga (second only to Bayern) and they noted a good performance last weekend when they earned 3 points on Eintracht (something that Bayern failed to do, as they drew with Frankfurt 3-3 back in October).
and it is difficult to achieve something very well there without bringing a full squad, even with a full squad a team still has to struggle a lot when in the Champions League, because the level of opponents faced is indeed different with a different mentality too.
The approach to the supporters must be done by a team, because it cannot be denied that the supporters also indirectly have a bond with a team.
This match is going to be a tricky match as both sides are title contenders for the German Bundled Liga title but going by current form I think both teams can comfortable win the match as both teams are in a good form going into this match, I think the odds given to both teams are not a true reflection of their current form because their is no way you give Bayern Munich 1.33odds against a top team like Leipzig and Leipzig is given a odd of 7.50 it's no a true reflection of the reality of their performance because when ever two big team's are playing there's the this tendency of any of the match being difficult for the both teams so this game may end in a slim victory for either of the teams as both of them can win this game
Big match always have a certain different vibes and for sure both teams will come with all the best plans. It is not easy again for any side to meet Bayern with all their experience and quality on the field. Still, Leipzig also has a ready-made factor that will take some players by surprise. This is the time when both the teams will look for set sights on and look for the best footing. For this reason many a time when the situation turns critical, the team that can control the heat will have gotten an upper hand. Anyway, this specific match will undoubtedly offer rather an engaging performance for each one of us. Stiff completion among the competing leaguebased teams is also an attraction in its own right which will enable all the teams to strive to keep on offering their best in the different matches.This match is going to be a tricky match as both sides are title contenders for the German Bundled Liga title but going by current form I think both teams can comfortable win the match as both teams are in a good form going into this match, I think the odds given to both teams are not a true reflection of their current form because their is no way you give Bayern Munich 1.33odds against a top team like Leipzig and Leipzig is given a odd of 7.50 it's no a true reflection of the reality of their performance because when ever two big team's are playing there's the this tendency of any of the match being difficult for the both teams so this game may end in a slim victory for either of the teams as both of them can win this game
Bayern will feel more pressure to win, that's for sure, but having extra pressure is often a disadvantage as it brings in more stress and desperation.
I think the start of the game will be very important. If Bayern manages penetrate Leipzig's defence and take an early lead, it could work very nicely for them and more goals will likely follow. But each passing minute in a goalless draw will be shifting mental advantage towards Leipzig.
I wouldn't mind Bayern losing this one and Leverkusen catching up and reducing the gap to only one point. That would surely make things more interesting.
Bayern Munich vs Leipzig will be the opening match in the Bundesliga this week. Bayern Munich just experienced their first defeat and now they have to bounce back in this match.
In general, this match is not easy to predict, because Leipzig is also one of the teams that cannot be underestimated in this Bundesliga. But that doesn't mean they can't give Bayern Munich a series of defeats.

Bayern's last match in the Bundesliga in 2024, is a crucial duel for both teams competing at the top of the standings. Only six points separate them.
It would be great for the fans if Bayern won against one of the top 5 in the standings this time after the shock 1-2 defeat to Mainz in the previous week.
Bayern need to refocus, and Leipzig's 1-5 defeat to Stuttgart could be the best example for Kompany to see the weak side of Leipzig.
Leipzig plays Bayern as confidently but I think Bayern can get three points on the home.
One cannot be so sure that Bayern Munich are going to get full three points in this game after their last two games that they lost. They may be playing from home but it doesn’t mean their opponent is that weak for them to confidently see themselves getting a full three points in this match. Just like them, Leipzig are also in the fight for the Bundesliga title and won’t take any chances of not winning all of their games. It is going to be a very tough duel, we just have to wait to see the team that will perform better to get the full three points or they share the points if the challenge becomes tougher.This will be an interesting match.

What a good first half, Bayern was very good in everything. Joshua Kimmich with an absolute rocket from a distance extends Bayern's lead against 3-1.This is not the exact kind of result that Leverkusen players and coaches will be expecting to hear from the Leipzig game because on the chase currently is Leverkusen, and any point drop from Bayern Munich favors them. The point difference is narrowing, but Leverkusen still needs some catching up to do, and they will target collecting all three points against Freiburg, who are chasing a Champions League qualification spot when they play tomorrow.
Leipzig let Bayern players into the final third easily and no counterattacks could happen like that...lol.
If there is no significant change from Marco Rose in the second half, Bayern will win this match easily.
Dortmund have prove that they can play with some of the best team in the world and the home fans can be the additional players. If they continue that level of passion, and apply it more consistently, especially in defence, they can be a tough nut in the league. Gaining the title, people also point out not only the skills of the team but also the passion for their work and work together. If they carry on with a lot of determination and develop the weaknesses, then they will enjoy a big upset that everyone will embrace.It's true, Dortmund used to be very good at training and producing high-calibre players, Lewa and many more have come out, so before Dortmund was very well-known for that reason, but then things have changed a bit, you can see that they want to, they are fighting to win a Bundesliga, that's what they do best at the moment, however Bayern hasn't allowed it, they are playing a lot more now, last season Leverkusen surprised them, now they are somewhat passive, however the good thing about the Bundesliga is that everything can change from one moment to the next.
Bayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1. They won very convincingly and they looked very comfortable in this match. They could even score a goal in the first minute.Bayern Munich vs Leipzig will be the opening match in the Bundesliga this week. Bayern Munich just experienced their first defeat and now they have to bounce back in this match.
In general, this match is not easy to predict, because Leipzig is also one of the teams that cannot be underestimated in this Bundesliga. But that doesn't mean they can't give Bayern Munich a series of defeats.
Bayern's last match in the Bundesliga in 2024, is a crucial duel for both teams competing at the top of the standings. Only six points separate them.
It would be great for the fans if Bayern won against one of the top 5 in the standings this time after the shock 1-2 defeat to Mainz in the previous week.
Bayern need to refocus, and Leipzig's 1-5 defeat to Stuttgart could be the best example for Kompany to see the weak side of Leipzig.
Leipzig plays Bayern as confidently but I think Bayern can get three points on the home.
Bayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1. They won very convincingly and they looked very comfortable in this match.

This big win seems to be an answer to their previous defeat, yes previously their defeat was considered because Kane was not in the squad, but in this match they showed something good, even though Leipzig is also a good team in the Bundesliga.
It was a surprising defeat for Leipzig as they where humiliated by Bayern Munich by 5:1 no one saw this coming , it's one match that a lot of people has interest in but everyone was left disappointed as the game was a one way traffic as Bayern Munich took full control of the game from start to finish of the gameBayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1.

A big blow for Leipzig from Bayern. It was a big embarrassment yesterday and I thought that the visitors were strong enough to come up with a better performance. Bayern is unstoppable in this league and any club that feel they are strong will get messed up by Bayern. Looks like what happened in Lazio vs Inter.Bayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1. They won very convincingly and they looked very comfortable in this match.

I guess I overestimated Leipzig (or underestimated Bayern) when I said there's a big chance they could steal some points in Munich last night.
It was a total dominance by Bayern in all aspects of the game. Maybe except that super quick response by Leipzig in the 2nd minute. It was the first time in the history of Bundesliga that both teams scored within the first two minutes.
What a good first half, Bayern was very good in everything. Joshua Kimmich with an absolute rocket from a distance extends Bayern's lead against 3-1.This is not the exact kind of result that Leverkusen players and coaches will be expecting to hear from the Leipzig game because on the chase currently is Leverkusen, and any point drop from Bayern Munich favors them. The point difference is narrowing, but Leverkusen still needs some catching up to do, and they will target collecting all three points against Freiburg, who are chasing a Champions League qualification spot when they play tomorrow.
Leipzig let Bayern players into the final third easily and no counterattacks could happen like that...lol.

Leverkusen can keep the distance again with the victory they also achieved this week, so their points gap is still the same as last week, which is only 4 points.Bayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1.

I agree with you because Bayern Munich has not been consistent with their form and with the way Leverkusen has been finding their form of recent Bayern Munich should be careful and situp because the points gap between the two teams are not much because on one game lose for Bayern Munich can change the tide in the league this is the kind of competition that has been missing in the bundesliga for a long time now that only Bayern Munich has been dominating the league but from last season the there has been stiff competition for team at the league and they lost it so they should be careful because Leverkusen are their pursuitLeverkusen can keep the distance again with the victory they also achieved this week, so their points gap is still the same as last week, which is only 4 points.Bayern Munich could win the match with a fantastic score, 5-1.

But are those 4 points safe enough? Of course not. Bayern Munich should not be too comfortable with their current position, because if that happens then they might be careless and in the end they have to slip again and at that time Leverkusen will take advantage of it.

Leverkusen have been equally good and more importantly regular and this has put pressure on us to maintain good performance right through the season and in every match. The points difference is quite small now, therefore the team cannot over relax as one lost match can be very disastrous. The field becomes more transparent and the time has come not only to consolidate the fundamental position but also to seize any opportunity that might be beneficial for a company. This is due to support from the team and players alongside enduring assessment to retain our momentum in the league.
With the ongoing Christmas break, we won't see any action until 10th of January, when we'll see an opening game of round 16 between Dortmund and Leverkusen.Actions from the bundesliga will be missed following the Christmas break so that players and coaches can rest and take some time off and spend some time with their families and friends but the German league will come back to action in January when two High flying sides Leverkusen and Dortmund will clash this game promise to be entertaining and electrifying as both sides are title contenders when it comes to the German league Leverkusen current champions of the league trying to defend their league comes up against a Dortmund team that is currently not currently doing very well it will be one of those matches that be beautiful to watch as both sides are attack minded
Leverkusen is currently the only serious rival that can stop Bayern from winning the league, and if Bayer wants to defend their title, they need to keep winning difficult games like the one in Dortmund.
Borussia has been horribly inconsistent this season but they haven't lost any of their last 5 league games and are especially dangerous at home. Their points per game for home games is +1.79 points higher than for their away games, which is the highest in the Bundesliga.
Odds for both are as follows:
Dortmund to win: x2.60
Draw: x3.60
Leverkusen to win: x2.45
I'm hoping to see Leverkusen winning it, just so Bayern is not left without any competition and to keep things interesting up until the end.
The return of the Bundesliga after the Christmas break is always an emotion of its own kind to the football enthusiasts. But Leverkusen against Dortmund is a moment which is expected, especially about the nature of the teams which is rather energetic and creative. As having the status of the defending champion, Leverkusen is likely to demonstrate its permanency in the top tier, however, Dortmund is likely to beat the same indication and confirm that it still keeps its positions among the leaders. This game is a good chance to watch, how the best players use the strategy, and how the team and each personality works. This match is much more than a competition, and the spirit of as well as quality entertainment held in different elements of sports.With the ongoing Christmas break, we won't see any action until 10th of January, when we'll see an opening game of round 16 between Dortmund and Leverkusen.Actions from the bundesliga will be missed following the Christmas break so that players and coaches can rest and take some time off and spend some time with their families and friends but the German league will come back to action in January when two High flying sides Leverkusen and Dortmund will clash this game promise to be entertaining and electrifying as both sides are title contenders when it comes to the German league Leverkusen current champions of the league trying to defend their league comes up against a Dortmund team that is currently not currently doing very well it will be one of those matches that be beautiful to watch as both sides are attack minded

I don't really see Dortmund as a serious title contender anymore. Although, in theory, they still have a chance of winning the league, the gap between them and Bayern is just too big (11 points). It would require Bayern to go through some sort of crisis and Borussia to stabilise their form at a high level, which is something they struggle with almost every season.
As for Dortmund Vs Leverkusen, I think the most likely outcome is a draw. Leverkusen have only lost once in the league this season and Dortmund are very hard to beat at home, so split of points is more than expected.

It is clear that new young stars are appearing and the competitiveness which has always been a hallmark of Manchester City, remainders a variety of opportunities for development during the rest of the season. The general changes, increased togetherness, and involvement of the senior players may well be the first approaches in developing the necessary equilibrium on the field. We are convinced that not only the efforts and love combine the outcome of a successful game with the team’s solid image. The path to achieving consistency has no known loopholes, but the detailed procedure, as described will definitely yield desired outcomes that the club and its fans would be proud of.
Leverkusen could be more dangerous after they stumbled at the beginning of the season, and maybe they could even show a game like or even more than last season.Leverkusen can keep the distance again with the victory they also achieved this week, so their points gap is still the same as last week, which is only 4 points.I agree with you because Bayern Munich has not been consistent with their form and with the way Leverkusen has been finding their form of recent Bayern Munich should be careful and situp because the points gap between the two teams are not much because on one game lose for Bayern Munich can change the tide in the league this is the kind of competition that has been missing in the bundesliga for a long time now that only Bayern Munich has been dominating the league but from last season the there has been stiff competition for team at the league and they lost it so they should be careful because Leverkusen are their pursuit

Leverkusen is one excellent example of how a new team can come to the advanced confident and powerful formation. Their improved recent result indicates that diligence in every match is gradually beginning to yield the desired results. Victory after victory is not only signs of the development of the team, but also has given the players and thousands of fans to keep confidence in themselves. That is why having a high level of confidence, along with being a cohesive team with a singular purpose, no adversary is overpowering. For a long play anything can transpire, and they Leverkusen have every motivation to carry on with more vigour, making new chances in every match they participate.Leverkusen could be more dangerous after they stumbled at the beginning of the season, and maybe they could even show a game like or even more than last season.Leverkusen can keep the distance again with the victory they also achieved this week, so their points gap is still the same as last week, which is only 4 points.I agree with you because Bayern Munich has not been consistent with their form and with the way Leverkusen has been finding their form of recent Bayern Munich should be careful and situp because the points gap between the two teams are not much because on one game lose for Bayern Munich can change the tide in the league this is the kind of competition that has been missing in the bundesliga for a long time now that only Bayern Munich has been dominating the league but from last season the there has been stiff competition for team at the league and they lost it so they should be careful because Leverkusen are their pursuit

The winning streak that they got lately could be a material for Bayern Mnuich to see, that Leverkusen is really chasing and becoming a very big threat to them. The season is also still very long and anything can happen, including in catching up on their points at the top of the standings at this time.
Leverkusen is one excellent example of how a new team can come to the advanced confident and powerful formation. (...)
This is inseparable from Xabi's work so that they can bring them this far, especially last season. Because he brought this team from the bottom when he came, and the players he has are actually not very special players that many people talk about.Leverkusen could be more dangerous after they stumbled at the beginning of the season, and maybe they could even show a game like or even more than last season.Leverkusen is one excellent example of how a new team can come to the advanced confident and powerful formation.

Xabi Alonso not get difficukt for building chemistry after singinng any new players in this season, still have opportunity for Leverkusen for winning Bundesliga trophy and get qualify to knock out round at Champion League.
However, with Xabi's performance who can understand his players well, it can create good chemistry. Chemistry is a very important thing in football.
his experience as a player in the past really helped him when he became a coach, he would definitely see his former coach solve problems and he would definitely apply it or at least he would apply it in his own way.This is inseparable from Xabi's work so that they can bring them this far, especially last season.

That is why when a person comes with a new perspective and the willingness to experiment the changes that follow are very large. From those who have successfully managed to transform harms to gains we can draw valuable messages of hope of how innovation and hard work can open a way to further success storeys. In the context of sport the function of the trainer is not only to construct plans but he also has to trust within the group and to be a real motivation. The achievements present today are the goals of hard teamwork, nothing was created with an idea; all was planned. I think that recommendations mentioned above are pleasant manner to celebrate these achievements not only by the number of victories and trophies but the work we have done together to achieve these goals.his experience as a player in the past really helped him when he became a coach, he would definitely see his former coach solve problems and he would definitely apply it or at least he would apply it in his own way.This is inseparable from Xabi's work so that they can bring them this far, especially last season.

Leverkusen is lucky because he can get him, he is the person who successfully gave them the Bundesliga title after a long wait and what is more interesting is that he did it in a very extraordinary way.
Bayarn Leverkusen last season was in another level so it will be difficult for Leverkusen to repeat this season because the fact of mater is that every season is not the same and teams performance drops from season to season and looking at Leverkusen performance this season they started in a shaky ground at the beginning of the season and some of their important players like victor boniface where injured but the season progressed they have found their firm back and is really doing great as they are currently doing well standing in second position and just about four poins behind league leaders Bayarn Munich and they can still win the league as the league is still open for any of the top four teams to winDo you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?Bayer Leverkusen have a good chance to improve on their performance from last season because Xabi Alonso remained with them, but Bayern Munich, if we should judge them from their pre-season game already, Vincent Kompany is already looking properly integrated into the team and ready for the new season.
Bayern Munich scored many goals (14) in their friendly game against FC Rotach-Egern and conceded one goal. This season's Bundesliga is one to look out for.

Xabi has changed the mentality of Bayer Leverkusen, before Xabi, Leverkusen finished fourth or third and it was considered a good year, that mentality has changed and we can see it. When they finished third, people wanted more. To be second, to the top.And they keep changing it because Leverkusen is one of the Teams that has had the best performance Since the start of the season, because for me the way Xabi faced the Bundesliga was very poor, Fortunately things have turned out the way they are and Things may be better now that they are in a very good Position , will they be able to go and win the Bundesliga against Bayern with everything they have now? They are at their best, but this implies a Great challenge for Xabi, to beat a team that is at its highest level.
That mentality is something that I liked about Xabi and it means a lot, something that goes along with the philosophy of the competition and I'm happy to see the change in attitude of this club.

I am still waiting for the revival of Borussia Dortmund who this season they did not perform well, they are one of the big teams in the Bundesliga, they are even predicted as a team that can provide competition to Bayern Munich.
However, what they have shown in the last 2 seasons has not shown anything satisfactory, the previous season they were even saved to still be able to go to the Champions League because of the additional slot for the Bundesliga.
This happened because of what they did themselves, if only they did not prioritize money, I am sure they would now be a very solid team and also filled with very even player abilities.I am still waiting for the revival of Borussia Dortmund who this season they did not perform well, they are one of the big teams in the Bundesliga, they are even predicted as a team that can provide competition to Bayern Munich.

Dortmund are actually looking for more players, they need reinforcements in defense in this transfer window but major investments are off the table.
The Board of Dortmund hopes to finalize a swap deal between Donyell Malen and Ian Maatsen from Villa.
And they are also monitoring the situation of LAFC's 18-year-old winger David Martinez.
So I wouldn't expect much change in their performances this year.
~Unless they sell them before reaching their full potential ;D
But it's not too late, they are a team that has the ability to see young players with great potential. I hope they can maximize it to form a solid team, or at least they put achievement and business on the same level.
Xabi has changed the mentality of Bayer Leverkusen, before Xabi, Leverkusen finished fourth or third and it was considered a good year, that mentality has changed and we can see it. When they finished third, people wanted more. To be second, to the top.Indeed, Xabi changes Leverkusen a lot. Since Xabi becomes the coach of Leverkusen, Leverkusen performed consistently in each season. Leverkusen becomes a stronger team and they have good mentality. Although they failed to win Europa league in the last season, they have already changed to be a big team in Bundesliga. I think Xabi has a chance to win again Bundesliga title this season, and they may have a chance to win UCL title if they can perform impressively in UCL.
That mentality is something that I liked about Xabi and it means a lot, something that goes along with the philosophy of the competition and I'm happy to see the change in attitude of this club.
Yes xabi is one coach who is exceptional with his job because before coming to Leverkusen a lot of people don't believe in his coaching abilities knowing that he is a new coach but he proved everyone wrong by turning things around by winning a league that has been dominated by Bayern Munich and became unbeaten that same season I record that will take many years to break in the future plus they got to the Europa League final so xabi has changed the way Leverkusen as a club was known or seen before because as it stands now it only Leverkusen that is giving Bayern Munich a tough time in the league as Leverkusen is currently on second position pilling up pressure on bayern that is on top of the bundesliga table and if they continue this way i see them winning the league title againXabi has changed the mentality of Bayer Leverkusen, before Xabi, Leverkusen finished fourth or third and it was considered a good year, that mentality has changed and we can see it.

Well that is the problem, they always sell their young players who have great potential to become big players and we have seen it for years.~Unless they sell them before reaching their full potential ;D
But it's not too late, they are a team that has the ability to see young players with great potential. I hope they can maximize it to form a solid team, or at least they put achievement and business on the same level.
It's been a while since I last checked this league because I thought it's becoming boring after Munich started pulling away. I was a bit surprised that Leverkusen is now close to them and giving them a run for their money.
Leverkusen is still on track. Winning the title or not at the end of the season is not everything, how they play, the spirit, dedication, and hard work of the team to continue fighting until the end of the season are the main things that fans want to see, but we know, Dedication and hard work always pay off. :)
Yes xabi is one coach who is exceptional with his job because before coming to Leverkusen a lot of people don't believe in his coaching abilities knowing that he is a new coach but he proved everyone wrong by turning things around by winning a league that has been dominated by Bayern Munich and became unbeaten that same season I record that will take many years to break in the future plus they got to the Europa League final so xabi has changed the way Leverkusen as a club was known or seen before because as it stands now it only Leverkusen that is giving Bayern Munich a tough time in the league as Leverkusen is currently on second position pilling up pressure on bayern that is on top of the bundesliga table and if they continue this way i see them winning the league title againXabi Alonso has done wonderful job to transform Bayer Leverkusen into a different football team that many people have not expected them to be. I can also say that his confirmation as the head master has supplied a new velvet to the Bundesliga competition and made the competition to be more balanced between various higher Ranking teams. There is clear evidence of growth and progression and the club is ready to again prove that they can play on the National as well as in the European level. Their position at the moment, the standings is direct evidence of the work of the team, where all the components contribute to the maximum achievement. Xabi has achieved that in some ways his approach unites both the robust character of players and mature approach which makes Leverkusen a rather challenging team to overcome. The great potential appears to have further improved in a better direction.
The opponent that Bayern Munich will face in the next week is Monchengladbach, not a strong opponent, but not an opponent that they can underestimate. They have experienced 2 unpleasant results in the last 5 matches and maybe that will continue again.
On the other hand, Monchengladbach also has a fairly good appearance, although when compared to Bayern Munich's appearance they are still below Bayern Munich. But still they can be a real threat.
In terms of squad, Bayern Munich has a more even squad, so the absence of some players should not be a problem, especially since the opponents they will face are also not better than them in terms of strength.The opponent that Bayern Munich will face in the next week is Monchengladbach, not a strong opponent, but not an opponent that they can underestimate.

Bayern now has a tight and big game plan ahead. Unfortunately, the tide has caught up with Bayern. Jamal Musiala has to rest for a while due to a flu-like infection, Daniel Peretz is injured, and Manuel Neuer has not fully recovered. It's time for Svein Ulreich to showcase his class. He might be between the sticks at Borussia Park, where Bayern Munich will go up against Borussia Monchengladbach.
But I am optimistic that Bayern is ready and can win this game.
In terms of squad, Bayern Munich has a more even squad, so the absence of some players should not be a problem, especially since the opponents they will face are also not better than them in terms of strength.Bayern Munich have solid squad for this season and the same qualities between main player with the players on the bench, its make easily for Vincent Kompany when rotating some players how to keep them from injury when busy schedule matches.
Bayern Munich is the team with the best squad in the Bundesliga in my opinion, not only the main players, but the players on the bench also have good abilities to fill the gaps.
The Bundesliga is back in action this weekend, with probably the most interesting game happening tomorrow (Dortmund playing Leverkusen at home).The mach to watch out this weekend in the bundesliga fixtures is today's match between Dortmund and Leverkusen this match will be a cracker because both teams needs the three points badly as they hopes to build on the successes they made before the league went on the Christmas holiday
Full fixtures for the weekend, together with odds are as follows:
(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/01/09/Or1rP.png)
I hope to see Leverkusen victorious tomorrow, even just for the sake of giving Bayern some serious competition and not falling too far behind, to keep things interesting. Borussia is probably starting to feel pressure and they will be desperate for points if they want to finish in the top 4. They are also a team that has the highest home/away Points-Per-Game difference. On average, they earn 1.79 points more at home than they do in away games, which is huge. So it won't be an easy one for Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich is the team with the best squad in the Bundesliga in my opinion, not only the main players, but the players on the bench also have good abilities to fill the gaps.
It is minute 45'. The first half of the match is almost over.Match over.
The long awaited match has been played a dB Leverkusen waa able to get all three points for themselves away from home. This victory has made it nine consecutive wins in al competitions and six straight win in Bundesliga. Dortmund dominated the aecond half but was only able to score one goal to end the match 3-2. However, Leverkusen scored all their three goals in the first 19 minutes of the first half.Yes, finally Leverkusen won the match although it was a very tight match in the second half. I was a bit worried that Dortmund scored again another goal, so the match may end up with a draw result. Fortunately, Leverkusen could keep their leading with 1 goal until the end of the match.
Yes indeed a team must have that, they must have players who are evenly distributed in the squad or at least the quality is not far from the main players.In terms of squad, Bayern Munich has a more even squad, so the absence of some players should not be a problem, especially since the opponents they will face are also not better than them in terms of strength.Bayern Munich have solid squad for this season and the same qualities between main player with the players on the bench, its make easily for Vincent Kompany when rotating some players how to keep them from injury when busy schedule matches.

For second half season with Bayern Munich still have two matches left in Champion League I think many rotate make by Vincent Kompany keep their player fit without injury. Bayern will play three games for one week later and its important make rotation exactly have many crucial match for Bayern get the domestic league tittle race this season.
Yes indeed a team must have that, they must have players who are evenly distributed in the squad or at least the quality is not far from the main playersThis is the reason why teams should always prioritize quality players always because most average players that are struggling are in their current situation because there's lack of quality in the team and even those in the bench has no quality and is not good enough to start a match and perform optimallyIn terms of squad, Bayern Munich has a more even squad, so the absence of some players should not be a problem, especially since the opponents they will face are also not better than them in terms of strength.Bayern Munich have solid squad for this season and the same qualities between main player with the players on the bench, its make easily for Vincent Kompany when rotating some players how to keep them from injury when busy schedule matches.

Because some teams that end up having difficulties have lost their main players because they do not have players who can cover the gap when their main players are absent, due to injury, accumulation and so on.
Dortmund pressured Leverkusen defense to the point that I waa thinking that Dortmund might equalize the goal, but what made me calm down and believe that's impossible was when I flashed back to their performance last season, and how they were able to finish the league unbeaten. I had courage and didn't worry much because my bet is what matters most to me.The long awaited match has been played a dB Leverkusen waa able to get all three points for themselves away from home.

Dortmund became stronger in the second half because Leverkusen seems playing a too defensive. It will be always dangerous if Leverkusen won't try to keep attacking in the second half. I think Xabi must learn something from this for the next matches.

I had courage and didn't worry much because my bet is what matters most to me.It makes sense, especially in the second half, Dortmund seemed to not give Leverkusen any space, they continued to threaten Leverkusen's back line. However, Leverkusen's defense was good enough so that they could still maintain the existing chances. Dortmund's last goal was also a penalty kick, after VAR consideration. Well, this was indeed a tense period, because since the penalty goal there were still about 15 minutes of the match going on. and anything could happen during the match. That's why, when the final whistle was blown, it felt relieved that Leverkusen became the winner.
People may feel all sorts of emotions during intense matches based on the kind of interest or expectations to the results. When Dortmund stepped up the pace, it was easy for us to believe that the chances of a draw were still on but reflection on their performance record and strength of cohorts can be soothing as we adopt the forecast we make. That is why in such circumstances there is nothing wrong with keeping fairly realistic and afloat the expectations and dealing with the object losing control over it but still enjoying the process and the game. Perhaps what we hope to support or demand from this match can come to an end as planned.Dortmund pressured Leverkusen defense to the point that I waa thinking that Dortmund might equalize the goal, but what made me calm down and believe that's impossible was when I flashed back to their performance last season, and how they were able to finish the league unbeaten.

a win is a win and Bayern Munich got 3 points, still leading in first place.The supporters of Bayern will still be happy. Not every win has to be beautiful or has to be by a lot of goals; in some games that are played in a league, a very strong team can perform unexpectedly by being held to a goalless draw, It would have been Bayern again, and that would have made the headline more for that than them not being able to score many goals in a game they dominated.
Well, that's something we often see, they sell their main players, but they can't bring in players who can replace the role of the players who left well.Yes indeed a team must have that, they must have players who are evenly distributed in the squad or at least the quality is not far from the main players
Because some teams that end up having difficulties have lost their main players because they do not have players who can cover the gap when their main players are absent, due to injury, accumulation and so on.
Most teams that struggle also sell their players without bringing in quality players to replace the once that are going but they do so because of the money that they get but over time you will find out that these teams struggle because there is no quality players in the team to drive the team to challenge for trophies so every team should always prioritize quality players and should set up a standard so before any player is brought into the team they most have met these standards
Leverkusen did it very well this time, Xabi's tactics also worked well. It's just that in the second half, they were a bit less attacking, but it might be his tactics to be more persistent so they could maintain the score 1 - 3 before. It's just that, in the 79th minute, unfortunately Leverkusen was quite unlucky with a penalty kick for Dortmund which resulted in a goal. But it finally ended with Leverkusen's victory. Stats show Dortmund's dominance is much greater, but Leverkusen can play very effectively.
Yes, because the point is to win, in a match, what's the point of playing very well, controlling ball possession and also doing a lot of attacks, but in the end it's just a draw or even a loss. So, win is always a win. and no matter what, it will always make the fans happy with their position which is still in 1st place in the Bundesliga.a win is a win and Bayern Munich got 3 points, still leading in first place.The supporters of Bayern will still be happy. Not every win has to be beautiful or has to be by a lot of goals; in some games that are played in a league, a very strong team can perform unexpectedly by being held to a goalless draw, It would have been Bayern again, and that would have made the headline more for that than them not being able to score many goals in a game they dominated.
At that time, at the beginning of the year and concede 2 goals, the opponent was Dortmund, although it is not as good now, Dortmund is still Dortmund which is one of the strong clubs in the Bundesliga. But the important thing is that they still win. and in the second match in this year, Leverkusen also won again from Mainz with a score of 1 - 0.Leverkusen did it very well this time, Xabi's tactics also worked well.Leverkusen is starting 2025 with a win but of course with conceding some good goals. :D
Anyway, it was a solid performance from the whole team, This win reminds me of all things Xabi Aura in 2024. Bayer Winnerkusen is back!
Patrik Schick is one of the best Czech goalscorers in the Bundesliga and he makes Victor Boniface no more relevant.
We can't say the same about Dortmund. They simply got humiliated by Holstein-Kiel, who surprised the sloppy defense of Borussia with 3 goals in the first half. Dortmund responded with 2 goals, but got finished off with the last-second goal on an empty net and the game ended at 4-2. They dropped to 9th place and may drop even further after tomorrow's round.
We all agree that this is a shame, they have gone downhill a lot and it is very bad from what I thought before.

Dortmund have always had better opponents than them. Dominant in ball possession but no results.
Dortmund conceded four goals against Holstein Kiel, a promoted team that is now in the relegation zone, FOUR! I don't want to hear excuses. It's all a disgrace.
Thanks for the great entertainment. full confidence in the team, coach, and board, the progress is evident. Trust the process ;D
There are fresh rumours about Eintracht's best striker, Omar Marmoush, signing a contract with Manchester City:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g99lqe774o
It's not yet official, and the media are reporting on "verbal agreement". If this happens, it could be a big blow to Eintracht's attacking abilities. Marmoush is currently number 2 best scorer in the league with 15 goals.
Another victory for Eintracht, they are not stopping. It's their 3rd win in a row and they're currently only 2 points behind the 2nd Leverkusen, but only until tomorrow when I hope Leverkusen will earn another 3 points on Monchengladbach.
On the other hand, Dortmund's bad luck continues. It was their 3rd straight loss in the league and it's getting clearer that the top 4 might have just got beyond their reach. Luckily they still have Champions League to play with decent chances of getting through to the next round. And looks like they're looking to strengthen their attack with attempts of getting Marcus Rashford on loan from Man United:

In the near future we will see the match between Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg, on paper Bayern Munich is a team that is highly favored to be able to achieve a victory. However, they should not underestimate the visiting team, because Wolfsburg has the ability to beat them. I think the course of the game will be dominated by Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg will rely more on counterattacks.The match has been over already. Bayern Munich won the match as expected. Bayern Munich really dominated the match, they played very offensive in this match. But it was not an easy match for Bayern Munich because the match almost ended up with a draw. It is true that Wolfsburg isn't a weak team. Although they played rather defensive, they could score 2 goals. Wolfsburg knows well how to use a counter-attack strategy.
There is goal rush in this weekend matches in the bundesliga as a lot of goals are being scored Bayarn Munich is currently leading 2:1 against Wolfsburg, while Leipzig lead Bochum by 0:3, stuggard are also leading Freiburg by 3:0 at home while the game between Hoffenheim and holstein Hoffenheim leads by 2: 0 by the halftime mark let see how the final results will turn out to be in these gamesThe two most most important teams currently in the Bundesliga that I always look out for are Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen who are in a hot battle for who wins the Bundesliga. The two of them won their games today, so I guess the title chase continues with today favouring both teams.

A hard-earned home win!
Goretzka was very strong today, he scored 2 goals and was the hero. Goretzka also played a good game when he didn't score, not only in this game.
The most important thing is three points, but the exploitation of chances was poor, and at times there was a lack of determination, concentration, and clarity both in attack and defense. Imagine if Wolfsburg had the same number of chances as Bayern. Bayern should have won easily 6-2
Yes, it was not an easy match, but they managed to finish it well. They played very aggressively, that is what they usually do. Wolfsburg tried to hold back, but they were not strong enough to withstand every attack built by Bayern Munich.In the near future we will see the match between Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg, on paper Bayern Munich is a team that is highly favored to be able to achieve a victory.

Bayern Munich has to do well moving forward because from the last match that they played against Wolfsburg this weekend there where a lot of lop holes that where spotted in the team especially at the back line which allowed a team like Wolfsburg to score two goals against bayern munich team that was playing at home this calls for concern and they needs to improve on their game moving forward especially in tomorrow's champions League game that is coming up against feeyenord in Netherlands this match will be a tough one for bayern munich because feeyenord too needs a win to keep their chances of qualifying into the second phase of the champions LeagueBayern Munich approach towards this game was not encouraging as they showed not looking good during this match Wolfsburg would have made it 3:3 had it been that they took all their chances that came their way bundesliga is getting more competitive this season and looking at where Bayern Munich is in the league table you could tell that they are not safe on top of the league table be because it's only four points that separate bayern munich and Leverkusen so going forward bayern munich has to step up their game and approach all games with a level of seriousness and competitiveness as any game that they drop points they will have themselves to blame as Leverkusen is coming from their back
Yep. Wolfsburg made it way closer than it ever should have been with the overall control Bayern had, Some terrible finishing and defense made for a way closer match than it should have been.
And the next game is Feyenoord in UCL, hard work to clinch a ticket to the Round of 16.
Bayern is one point off the automatic qualification spot due to their losses to Aston Villa and Barcelona.
I hope Harry can score again in tomorrow's game, not just from the penalty spot.
Yes, Bayern Munich must be stronger on key games and when they open some vulnerable positions at the back like in the case with Wolfsburg. To face a Feyenoord of Netherlands will definitely be a big Major feat since this Team has been known to posses high spirited Attacking formations during its games. As viewed to achieving the objective or come out as winner, there are certain factors that need to be enhanced in this game by the Bayern with specific reference to the following; Below par efficiency is observation in the conversion of opportunities in front of goal area, while, coordination in the defence line of the team. Feyenoord will do everything that they can to get maximum result on the field and that is why Bayern must be ready to just play with maximum bright and a little bit more mature. Perhaps this will be a chance to demonstrate it in this match and become one of the best teams in Europe.Bayern Munich has to do well moving forward because from the last match that they played against Wolfsburg this weekend there where a lot of lop holes that where spotted in the team especially at the back line which allowed a team like Wolfsburg to score two goals against bayern munich team that was playing at home this calls for concern and they needs to improve on their game moving forward especially in tomorrow's champions League game that is coming up against feeyenord in Netherlands this match will be a tough one for bayern munich because feeyenord too needs a win to keep their chances of qualifying into the second phase of the champions LeagueBayern Munich approach towards this game was not encouraging as they showed not looking good during this match Wolfsburg would have made it 3:3 had it been that they took all their chances that came their way bundesliga is getting more competitive this season and looking at where Bayern Munich is in the league table you could tell that they are not safe on top of the league table be because it's only four points that separate bayern munich and Leverkusen so going forward bayern munich has to step up their game and approach all games with a level of seriousness and competitiveness as any game that they drop points they will have themselves to blame as Leverkusen is coming from their back

Feeyenord is one side that is a force to recoun with as they play a good and attracting brand of football scoring plenty of goals so bayern has to be clinical in the game especially in front of goals as feeyenord will do everything to frustrates bayern munich and if possible gets a win in the game

Hard to disagree with Dortmund's decision to sack Sahin. It's not clear if he's primarily to blame for the poor performance, or should the blame go to players, but the club owners cannot replace the whole team and replacing the manager is the only thing that can be done.The coach will be the first person to be blamed when the team cannot perform well, and now Sahin feels it. Blaming the players? I think that is very rare and even as far as I can remember it has never happened.
Dortmund is indeed doing pretty bad in the league, the average points per game ratio is only 1.39, that's the worse since 2014-15 season.
They were expected to fight for winning the league, but they're closer to the relegation zone than they are to Bayern.
On top of that, the loan transfer of Marcus Rashford from Man United fell through, as Dortmund could not meet his pay demands.

Borussia Dortmund took a step, I can't say whether this is the right step or not, because there is no guarantee that the new coach can bring them better.
It is almost always the case that variety in a team creates new issues and enhancements. If the person we are used to being at a lower rank is assigned a leadership role, it becomes a perfect time for us to step in and allow them to showcase themselves. This is the situation where the getting there to something good ends up in things that may not seem quite so positive, but there is still something positive which can occur. This situation is also characteristic of the world of football, any team requires not only individual thinkers who can create an environment conducive to success. In a long term concept of practice, all the parties involved have the rights to overcome together with sharing their best in any situation.
Borussia Dortmund took a step, I can't say whether this is the right step or not, because there is no guarantee that the new coach can bring them better.
After Nuri Sahin was sacked, Mike Tullberg took over as interim coach when Dortmund faced Werder Bremen on Saturday. Tullberg is the coach of Dortmund's U19 team, this is a new level for him, and I don't know what the players are thinking when they are constantly given coaches who have no experience at that level, but let's wait and see what happens.
Well, I actually see an opportunity for their young coach to be able to take over the main team, I don't mean this is an opportunity for him, because if he manages to show something impressive, then management might consider it.

I believe that Erik Ten Hag as a potential candidate for the Dortmund position could open another interesting opportunity for us as well. One can notice that he is useful if a team wants to find some optimization to step up in the ranks. In the field of football competition, one can have seen that leadership qualities can make changes in the past. This is an assurance that he can mobilise the team to enhance the results being recorded in the team. We are more confident that with determination of work, proper managerial skills Erik Ten Hag will do everything possible to have Dortmund stand and become one of the reputable teams in the German league. Of course, passion and complete support are definitely components that are needed to embrace this change.The interim coach will not be for long.

Erik Ten Hag is linked to the job at Dortmund, and although his career at Manchester United may not be considered suitable or adequate for him to land the job, I still think he can be a good fit to the team and help them back from this poor performance. ETH has enough experience to be able to dominate the German league.
Some potentially tough games for both Bayern and Leverkusen tomorrow.These are tough games that both Leverkusen and bayern munich as they are currently leading each of their respective games currently going on now in the German bundesliga with Leverkusen leading 1:2 away to Leipzig and bayern Munich leads Freiburg 0:1 at way these games are a litmus test for each of them if they are serious about winning the league because at this point in time any of them that drops points will be doing it at the cost of the league title that they intend to win this season but this is still first half so there still time left but they have to maintain this lead that they have now
Bayern is playing away against Freiburg and are x1.30 favourite, but if we look at the stats, Freiburg has only lost one time at home this season, so it might not be as easy game for Bayern as bookies might think.
Leverkusen is playing Leipzig (away) and Leipzig also lost only one game at home and despite the recent dip in form (3 games without a win in a row), they can still be dangerous.
Meanwhile, Holsten-Kiel just scored an equaliser and are drawing with Wolfsburg 2-2.

Some potentially tough games for both Bayern and Leverkusen tomorrow.Leverkusen dropped points against Leipzig; Bayern Munich got all three points in their game. Extra advantage for Bayern Munich coming from a disappointing Champions League performance.
Pretending to be consistent in the Bundesliga is of course a very strategic step for us as a big club. The success in local tournaments is a perfect basis for club’s recognition on the European level and guarantees stable moral for players. Of course the Champions League does offer its own brand of exciting football but as the results in this specific competition have shown football in the final rounds is often up for grabs. On the other hand, winning the Bundesliga makes for the certainty of other tangible accomplishments on the sports team level, and as well sustains the club as a champion. When domestic performance is maintained one is also able to create avenues for which we build a better strength in the future. Everything mentioned above proclaims the necessity of focusing on those actions that may being the greatest effects for the team.Some potentially tough games for both Bayern and Leverkusen tomorrow.Leverkusen dropped points against Leipzig; Bayern Munich got all three points in their game. Extra advantage for Bayern Munich coming from a disappointing Champions League performance.
I feel Bayern should focus more on winning the Bundesliga this season than the Champions League that looks gone already.
I think they prioritize both to be champions. The opportunity is there and they have to make the most of it. In the Champions League they have already ensured that they can qualify for the play-offs at least, so in the last match they can rotate to maintain the physical condition of their players to prepare for the play-offs. Or they have to win to be able to qualify directly.Some potentially tough games for both Bayern and Leverkusen tomorrow.Leverkusen dropped points against Leipzig; Bayern Munich got all three points in their game.

Bayern Munich is a big club in Europe but they have not been convincing in their performance of late as they lost in the champions League game against feeyenord and also in their bundesliga game against Freiburg they where not that fantastic because they would hav draw that game if not that Freiburg was not clinical at goal if they must go far in the champions League this season they must increase level level of performance because even at home in the bundesliga Leverkusen is close to them so there's no guarantee that they will win so bayern has to be consistent in their play
Leverkusen dropped points this weekend again to let bayern munich increase their points lead in the German bundesliga I was really expecting a win from Leverkusen knowing the task that is ahead of them that is ahead of them because dropping points is not a good one for the team's hopes of reclaiming their title this season because this season Leverkusen has really dropped in form they are different from what they where known for in their last season performance where they won every trophy in Germany but this season they started poorly and also lack of form contributed to this as they are currently sitting in second place behind Bayarn Munich but the point difference is about seven points so if they can maintain their form and stop dropping points the way they are doing currently they will definitely reclaim their titleLeipzig is not an average club and they are currently in their best form. This was why you saw them putting themselves back into the game from two goals down, they were able to equalize and draw the match. Sharing point was the best thing for than losing. On the other hand, Bayern is keeping up their consistency and they're more desperate of winning the title this season than Leverkusen.

They must prepare a strategy, including their strategy in maintaining their position in the Bundesliga if at any time they experience a difficult situation such as a storm of injuries for example.I think they prioritize both to be champions.

But in domestic league Bayern have 6 points left awhile from Leverkusen after being draw in this week from Leipzig, its good trend for Bayern have many points left and secure the bundesliga trophy as soon possible.
g Another game without a win for Dortmund, but I don't think anyone is surprised by that. To their credit, they managed to take a 2-0 lead despite being down to 10 men, but were unable to carry that to the final whistle.
Sky Germany reports that during their ‘secret’ trip to Austria, Borussia Dortmund held talks with Ralf Rangnick over becoming their interim head coach.
Dortmund are said to have travelled to Austria and held talks with Niko Kovac while it was reported by Sportschau that there was a second candidate called ‘Mr X’. It can be assumed that Rangnick is ‘Mr X’.
However, Rangnick’s contract still runs as Austria’s head coach until the end of this year. On top of this, he also has previously coached a club on an interim basis, having taken charge of Manchester United in the second half of the 2022 season, which was a disaster due to the situation at the club at the time.
In general, it must be said that at the highest level it is far from easy to maintain a position, not mentioning the fact that at any time various challenges can turn up. Situations like injuries of key players, time constraints and similar other factors can be challenging for a team. However, the experience that has been gained is one of the essential components that help to address every pressure that may occur. That is why when a team is accustomed to hard sets of circumstances, they will be in a better place to address those hurdles and even maintain direction. It is thus not only about how they keep up with the accomplishments, but also how may a society progress and establish better grounds with regard to the numerous existing situations. Consistency and preparedness to confront all sorts of situations will be the primary strategies that will enable organisations record better performances in the future.They must prepare a strategy, including their strategy in maintaining their position in the Bundesliga if at any time they experience a difficult situation such as a storm of injuries for example.I think they prioritize both to be champions.

They are in a very advantageous position, but that does not mean it is easy, because usually maintaining will be more difficult than winning. However, they have very good experience, so they should be used to all the pressure.
The final round of the Champions League league stage has concluded.
We have only one German team in the top 8 (straight to the top 16 without play-offs) and it's Bayer Leverkusen, who today defeated Sparta Prague 2-0.
Both Bayern and Dortmund have also won tonight (against Slovan Bratislava and Shakhtar Donetsk respectively) and they both finished in the seeded play-offs places.
Stuttgart and Leipzig got eliminated. Leipzig didn't even have a chance before this round, but Stuttgart finished just 1 point away from the play-offs zone, but they couldn't do much against desperate and motivated PSG despite playing at home and ended up losing 3-1.
Still, having 5 German teams in the Champions League was a success on its own.
Leverkusen managed to secure themselves in the round of 16, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund had to be in the play-off round, while the other 2 teams Stuttgart and Leipzig were eliminated in the league round.
Only one Bundesliga club made it into the top 8 which is still good, and I am happy its club is Leverkusen. :)
However, I am still confident that Bayern will qualify for the next round, they will qualify from the playoffs. Dortmund? I have a bad feeling about them, this season is not theirs.
And yeah, five Bundesliga clubs qualifying for the Champions League is a success for German football.
Any thoughts on betting on Dortmund in today's game against Heidenheim?Dortmund went on to win their game, a good result for the new coach, who just joined the team, and a motivation for the players in the team to try to make sure that they can make qualifications for any of the European competitions. Dortmund were in a better position last season and were doing much better than they are currently. The new coach sparks up new hope for the club; the supporters will be expecting more wins from this.
The odds are decent, x1.77 (x4.50 for Heidenheim). It's a fact that Dortmund is in four league games without a win streak, and, considering all competitions, they've only won twice in the last 10 games, but, as they say, the team is as good as their last performance and Dortmund did beat Shakhtar Donetsk in their last game (final round of the league stage of the Champions League).
Heidenheim is in the bottom 3 with over 68% loss ratio. A potential draw could be of concern, but Heidenheim only drew twice in the league this season. It's a type of team that either wins or loses.
The winning streak is rather refreshing for the team as well as the fans on the team. The presence of a new coach usually bring about morale which can enhance performance of the players in each match. Nevertheless, the outcome achieved in the previous season was relatively more consistent, but the verify one received this time is also worthy of appreciation meant that every fluctuation requires a period to offer the best. The desire to continue winning is likely to rise, and if all is done as it should be, there is every possibility of qualifying for the European competition. The road is still lengthy and the most significant factor is to have continuing and enhance the team performance in each and every game played throughout the tournament.Any thoughts on betting on Dortmund in today's game against Heidenheim?Dortmund went on to win their game, a good result for the new coach, who just joined the team, and a motivation for the players in the team to try to make sure that they can make qualifications for any of the European competitions.

Nice comfortable win for Leverkusen as they recorded a 3:1 over Hoffenheim at home with victor boniface opening the score sheet it's a nice win for them as they continues to pile up pressure on bayern munich which is on top of the table Leverkusen need to maintain this kind of form and performance going forward because they can't afford to drop any further points at this critical point of the league because teams have started taking shape's and the battle for top four intensifies I think Leverkusen is in the right form to give bayern munich a run for their money because currently speaking Bayern Munich is not currently doing well defensively speaking because they have been convincing plenty of goals lately so Leverkusen is at advantage because bayern munich is playing under pressure
Seeing the league table I feel happy for Harry Kane, I sincerely want him to win the Bundesliga, he is a fantastic player and deserves as many medals and titles as possible. I also wish he wins the golden boots too
He is a player who has met the criteria to win a title, but luck has not been on his side. I also hope to see him lift a trophy in his career and hopefully it can happen this season.Seeing the league table I feel happy for Harry Kane, I sincerely want him to win the Bundesliga, he is a fantastic player and deserves as many medals and titles as possible.

I hope so, Let's pray for him. He deserved something and relax, Bayern is still on top of the Bundesliga table. :)
Harry Kane has still not won a trophy for Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and England, but calling someone a curse is what is entirely wrong with the world of football... People create narratives based purely on traction and do not realize the harm they are doing.
Seeing the league table I feel happy for Harry Kane, I sincerely want him to win the Bundesliga, he is a fantastic player and deserves as many medals and titles as possible. I also wish he wins the golden boots tooI'm sure Harry Kane will win the Bundesliga trophy this season. Bayern Munich performance looks quite stable in the domestic competition. Although they failed in DFB Pokal, they still have the chance to win UCL trophy. And it can be the advantage for Bayern Munich because they can focus on Bundesliga in domestic competition now.

Bayern Munich has become a strong team again after Kompany becomes the coach. In this seaosn, Harry Kane looks like to win his first trophy with Kompany. So people can't say something badly again to Harry Kane.

I guess I'm a bit behind with the latest I've only just learned that Niko Kovac has been appointed as Borussia Dortmund new coach.
As reported here (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgq0lp8l078o) he signed 18-month contract on 29th Jan and will be leading his new club for the first time today, the game starts in a little over one hour.
Is Kovac a good replacement? I don't know, he lead Bayern to the title once but, apart from the time he was a manager of Eintracht, he never managed to keep his job for longer than 2 years. But I guess it won't be hard to do a better job than Sahin.
Harry Kane came to Bayern Munich last season to win trophies but Tuchel ruined the game. :(Although Bayern Munich have dominance in Bundesliga not sure yet with bad record of Harry Kane will stop in this season by winning domestic league tittle. Firstly, Bayern have been eliminated from DFP pokal cup and Kane loss his first trophy this season for Bayern, but have two trophies left possibility win by Bayern Munich in Champion League and domestic league.
Kingsley Coman has won league titles with all the teams he's played for and I expect his record to stand this season, while Kane's record will be broken, the record of never winning a title. :)
It will be good for both Kane and Coman to win a trophy this season and Kane deserves it.
Well, it comes as no surprise that Kovac is a strong candidate for the job, considering his familiarity with Bundesliga. These qualities combined with his experience with the league and its environment, there is a possibility of him establishing order at Dortmund. But, the problem of inconsistency had always been perennial with Dortmund in the recent past. Forcing this challenge also becomes even tougher because one is inconveniced in a status that is usually stagnant. Kovac may be capable to lead the reorientation of the team, but to sustain the performance on the highest level is a challenging task which is more than a simple experience. Possible only in this way, the Dortmund will be able to recover and take the due place in every competition with a strong character.I guess I'm a bit behind with the latest I've only just learned that Niko Kovac has been appointed as Borussia Dortmund new coach.

It's not surprising to me. Kovac is one of the top favorites as Sahin's replacement.
Kovac knows the Bundesliga very well because most of his playing career was spent here and Dortmund is the 4th Bundesliga club he has ever coached.
Kovać has the experience but is not special, I doubt he can bring the consistency they've been missing.
This is hard to imagine anymore, Dortmund is currently stuck in a mediocre state. IMO
Harry Kane came to Bayern Munich last season to win trophies but Tuchel ruined the game. :(either Tuchel ruined the game or Bayern Munich's management itself ruined it. Because Tuchel's entry into Bayern Munich was also due to a very surprising decision at that time where they preferred to fire Naggelsmann. Even though at that time their game was still fine.
Kingsley Coman has won league titles with all the teams he's played for and I expect his record to stand this season, while Kane's record will be broken, the record of never winning a title. :)
It will be good for both Kane and Coman to win a trophy this season and Kane deserves it.
Dortmund's troubles continue, but, to be fair, it's one of those games when the score is not a fair reflection of teams' performance. Dortmund did dominate and probably were more deserving of winning but it just wasn't their day.
Sorry, that wasn't good enough. Defeat at home wasn't a good debut for Kovac, but losing at home is the new normal, congratulations to all those involved.
New coach, same problems, same shortcomings in the team. It's not Kovac's fault, not the fault of a coach. It's the fault of the people at the top who have run this club to the ground in the last decade.
You don't expect this new coach to change things around just like that it will take time maybe from next season they will get back to winning ways but for this season I don't see Dortmund to be getting results because they need a total overhauling of the entire Dortmund team and the new coach has started that process so he should be given time to prove himself because even if you bring the best coach to this team currently Dortmund still will under perform because the entire Dortmund team has a problem due to lack of quality players One thing that affected Dortmund negatively is the issue of seeing players without replacement plan

It is quite true that any change that transpires within a team must take time in order for all the plans to work as wanted. He is still the traveller with enthusiasm and passion that wants to implement his ideas, but the wins cannot be expected quickly. As it was mentioned before, in order for a team that is going through a transition period to gain a successful situation they need to restore the balance all over the lines so that they can challenge for the top positions again. The major concept that is responsible for this process to work properly is patience especially in circumstances where there are so many areas in need of correction. As for Dortmund it is a club that has always bounced back from the worst of periods and this trend can repeat if the actions are carried on a right path.You don't expect this new coach to change things around just like that it will take time maybe from next season they will get back to winning ways but for this season I don't see Dortmund to be getting results because they need a total overhauling of the entire Dortmund team and the new coach has started that process so he should be given time to prove himself because even if you bring the best coach to this team currently Dortmund still will under perform because the entire Dortmund team has a problem due to lack of quality players One thing that affected Dortmund negatively is the issue of seeing players without replacement plan

Bayern Munich will play in the play-off round against Celtic today. Yes, they will play one of these very important matches, because it will determine their journey in the Champions League.A really important and wanted match for them, I guess they really prepare themselves to win this match, they will really need to put a lot of effort and energy to this game if they really want to get to the champions league journey cause it won’t be a easy match at all.
I hope they have prepared everything, because they cannot play comfortably in an important match like this. One mistake they make will make them lose later.

However, they should not be lulled by this victory. Because looking at Celtic's game, it can also give something to their game that if Bayern Munich is careless then they could lose.

It is on these types of matches and especially in the matches that have been labelled to be delicate that Glasgow will realise the importance of endeavour to make the chances count. Sodium lauryl sulphate is an oftre used surfactant in foods, pass formulas across soon, and personal care products. However, Bayern still wins in this case while their performance may not be as strong as it was before the previous generation. The overwhelming performance that the strikers used to have is fading away when they encounter other teams that have good defending systems and aggressive attacks. The second leg would determine the strength and character of both teams whether which Glasgow is able to come back a team who was defeated in the first leg or whether Bayern will prove strong by making a more dominant victory in the second leg.Bayern Munich will play in the play-off round against Celtic today.

Glasgow's first home defeat of the season, and one of the biggest criticisms of the season has been ‘capitalizing on chances’. Now they've made another mistake in capitalizing on chances.
On the other hand, a big win for Bayern, but Bayern's dominance is not what it used to be. At other times, they would dominate Celtic away from home from start to finish and not go into the second leg with a one-goal deficit.
Bayern Munich must be able to ensure that they can play well in the second leg. They only need a draw at the moment, but considering the distance that exists, it is still quite risky.Bayern Munich can take home victory in this match after beating Celtic with a narrow score of 2-1.

The possession and stats ain’t bad at all. Harry Kane is moving with goals and making a big impact to the team with a superb and consistent goals for the team. He is really proving to be a reliable player for Bayern Munich.
The possibility of Bayern advancing to the round of 16 is higher the Celtic because Bayern is stronger and well experienced than them. Also Bayern is already one point ahead of Celtic. A draw will givd Bayern the qualification but Bayern should win them home and away to show that they're superior over Celtic.Bayern Munich must be able to ensure that they can play well in the second leg.

Playing defensively is not a good option, so they must be able to play as usual even though they only need a draw in this match. I hope they can finish it very well.

Celtics do play well their performances wasn’t bad at all and moreover this was their first defeat at home.
However, they should not be lulled by this victory. Because looking at Celtic's game, it can also give something to their game that if Bayern Munich is careless then they could lose.
The possession and stats ain’t bad at all. Harry Kane is moving with goals and making a big impact to the team with a superb and consistent goals for the team. He is really proving to be a reliable player for Bayern Munich.
Playing defensively is not a good option, so they must be able to play as usual even though they only need a draw in this match. I hope they can finish it very well.
The possibility of Bayern advancing to the round of 16 is higher the Celtic because Bayern is stronger and well experienced than them. Also Bayern is already one point ahead of Celtic. A draw will givd Bayern the qualification but Bayern should win them home and away to show that they're superior over Celtic.
I agree with you, Bayern was in control after making it 2-0 but then they let Celtic score and Celtic could have easily made it 2-2 if they were lucky, Celtic cooked Bayern in the last 20 minutes.
When playing in the second leg at home Bayern can't make the same mistakes again.
Bayern must finish the match as soon as possible with a convincing score.

Bayern Munich will surely perform at their best in the second leg in front of their supporters, they won the first leg even though Celtic pressed them in the last minute during the game. Celtic first goal was disallowed 2 minutes into the game, otherwise, the game would have end up draw for Bayern Munich.
It can be said that there is no reason why they can't be in the last 16, especially since they will be playing at home and starting the match with a 1 goal advantage.Bayern Munich must be able to ensure that they can play well in the second leg.

Of course, it is possible to consider Celtic as the serious rival with talented players and character in every match. Their players are very fast, and this front line can be very dangerous for any team that they are going to face. Thus, it is expected that the team is able to read their movements well and have good structure within the team in every line. The cooperation with the players will determine the success and the right decisions during the match. When it comes to playing this match, therefore, the top option is always a mature serene attitude. We are confident that this team has the capability to handle such circumstances well and assured support will definitely challenge them to give their best.I agree with you, Bayern was in control after making it 2-0 but then they let Celtic score and Celtic could have easily made it 2-2 if they were lucky, Celtic cooked Bayern in the last 20 minutes.

I hope so too, but we know that Celtic showed their class in the first leg, so Kompany will have to apply the right tactics to contain the Celtic players. Celtic can hurt Bayern with their compact style and quick counter-attacks, they have fast players who can exploit the space behind Bayern's defense line. Adam Idah, Daizen Maeda, who was unfortunately suspended in the first leg, Jota or Nicolas Kühn.
I'm sure the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season will be much more competitive. Not only Bayern Munich and Dortmund, but Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt, they are preparing this season more competitively. Currently the transfer market has not yet ended and there is still an opportunity for clubs to change their squad layout with some of the top players they rely on and are looking forward to buying or loans. Well, at least their first match will take place in the 4th week of August and there is still a month to prepare.
The most competitive club would probably be Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen, or plus Dortmund too. This will be very interesting.
The 2 newcomer clubs that have just been promoted to the Bundesliga are St. Pauli and Holstein Kiel. Meanwhile, in the end Bochum was able to stay in the Bundesliga after beating Fortuna Düsseldorf in the play-offs. We'll see whether those clubs will survive this season and follow in Stuttgart's extraordinary footsteps last season, or whether it will end up in the relegation zone again.
https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/bochum-fortuna-dusseldorf-relegation-play-off-free-highlights-live-blog-27447Post your predictions. Do you think Leverkusen will be as dominant as in 2023/24 and will they defend the title?This is still a bit difficult to predict, because this season, Bayern Munich's preparations will definitely be much tighter, especially because they might be confused by Leverkusen's movements last season which made them really embarrassed because their record as Bundesliga winners was taken over by Leverkusen and even They were only able to finish in 3rd place, below Stuttgart, who incidentally won the play-off from the relegation zone.
This will certainly provide very valuable learning for Bayern Munich. But on the other hand, they will also be together with the previous new coach, so I also can't imagine that it will really be overpowered again in the future. If I were to be honest, I would still remain enthusiastic and support Leverkusen, but this will not be as easy as last season, Xabi must make his squad work more solidly, effectively, significantly and stronger if he wants to retain the title. because competition will become much tougher.
The top two teams in the bundesliga is likely going to share the spoils as the game between bayern Munich and bayern Leverkusen is currently 0:0 at the 86' minutes of the clock this results is favoring bayern munich the more as their point lead in the league will increase to ten points further cementing their first position place but it is not a good result for Leverkusen because plating at home I expected them to at least get a win even if it is 1:0 to close in on bayern munichYes they have to play a draw, that makes them not change any position in the standings. The match went a draw and even Bayern Munich could not do anything in this match, yes they could hardly create any chances.

So is Levekrusen, maybe they had some chances but it was also not so threatening and could not result in goals.
What a shameful display it was today from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Ninety minutes and not a single goal. Worse was that there was not even a shot on target for Bayern MunichI agree that Bayern Munich played very badly but I don't think Leverkusen showed a shameful display. Leverkusen has played with an offensive strategy, they made many shot opportunities. Unfortunately, Leverkusen players failed to score a single goal. I think it is because Xabi Alonso didn't use pure strikers since the early of the match. It is a bit annoying to see Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface in the bench. Sometimes, Xabi Alonso used a strange lineup. This makes the chance for scoring goals is lower. Again and again, Xabi Alonso made a mistake in applying a proper starting lineup.
I just watched the highlights of Leverkusen - Bayern Munich. There's no doubt Xabi Alonso's team deserved 3 points, but were just out of luck. They dominated the game in shots on goal and in terms of scoring chances created, they also had a small advantage in possession, but the results are not always fair and it's one of those cases.
Unless the highlights I watched are not a good reflection of the game, Bayern almost didn't exist. I guess you could give them some credit for effective defence and not losing a single goal, but they didn't pose any threat in the offence.
I wonder if that was a deliberate tactic by Kompany to just focus on the defence, given they already have 8 points advantage. Maybe his strategy was to keep the status quo rather than take a risk and expose themselves to the possibility of a loss. I don't know. But, as I said before, 8 points might be impossible for Leverkusen to catch up.
Leverkusen problem this season has been goal scoring because they have been playing well but finishing has been the problem no thanks to their strikers boniface their wonder striker has been struggling with injuries and form that is why Madrid has been leading the bundesliga table with these plenty points if not I don't personally see what bayern munich is playing because with all due respect to bayern they have been playing badly this season this bayern team is one of the worst bayern teams I have seen in recent timesWhat a shameful display it was today from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Easy game, it was not, but Bayern managed to score a late equaliser and drew with Celtic 1-1 in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs. Given they defeated Celtic 2-1 in the first leg, they are going through to the final 16.I have to appreciate Celtic in this match, because they really could give a fierce resistance to Bayern Munich. Although the home team dominated the game, they almost managed to trouble and force Bayern Munich to play extra in the extra round.
What's interesting, in the round of 16 they will face either Atletico Madrid or... Baer Leverkusen. I have a strong feeling it will be the latter. We'll have to wait till tomorrow though.
If Leverkusen is not matched with Bayern, they will be playing against Real Madrid, so no easy options for them.

I can't say it was lucky for Bayern Munich with the goal they scored at the end, because statistically their game was also good.
Agreed. I was impressed with Celtic's performance. Celtic were the best team in the two matches...
Bayern almost did not qualify for the next round against a club playing in the Scottish league. lol
Bayern couldn't do what was expected of them on the pitch, and what should be normal for FC Bayern Munich and it was a shame when Bayern celebrated.
Yes, it seems that I'm not the only one who feels that way, despite their defeat so that they couldn't qualify, but in terms of their game they were good. maybe even if it wasn't Bayern Munich who was their opponent in this match, then they would have been able to win and qualify for the round of 16.I have to appreciate Celtic in this match, because they really could give a fierce resistance to Bayern Munich.

Bayern has had incredible statistic of goals per game ratio at the beginning of the season, but it seems they're slowing down a bit. Maybe it's their style is effective against weak teams, but when they face tougher opponents something doesn't work as it should.
But, to their credit, they are still at the top of the league and only a disaster can stop them from winning it, and they got through to the round of 16 of UCL, so, despite occasional disappointments, they must be doing something right.
Leverkusen got a vital away win as they defeated holstein Kiel by 0:2 this win is a good way to bounce back as they have not been getting good results especially away from home Leverkusen has really gone behind Bayarn Munich by plenty points and this win is a good way of bouncing back to form and reducing the points difference knowing that bayern munich has too has not been that fantastic with their performance like that. I believe that the title race is not over yet because if there is any thing that I like about Leverkusen is their not giving up spirit so I see Leverkusen fighting to the last week of the season
Yes, Leverkusen once again proved the high level of the team by having an obvious victory in the match and remarkable teamwork. The ability to maintain a clean sheet also corresponds with the fact that they are hardy in every line of play. Xabi Alonso’s records clearly show that under his lead, this team has transformed into a rather Impregnable team or force. For me it is not only matching the goals but the manner in which they play organised and with great regularity is what I know deserves praise. Amine Adli also brings more positive attitude for the team and his return must be considered a positive aspect. Such performances give further clue of their intent in the current season and it will be good to know how far they can go.Leverkusen got a vital away win as they defeated holstein Kiel by 0:2 this win is a good way to bounce back as they have not been getting good results especially away from home Leverkusen has really gone behind Bayarn Munich by plenty points and this win is a good way of bouncing back to form and reducing the points difference knowing that bayern munich has too has not been that fantastic with their performance like that.

Yep. Leverkusen took home three points from Holstein Kiel, a good win, and a clean sheet. This didn't surprise me given the quality of the players on this team, it was inevitable that Leverkusen would score. However, I must commend the team for the way they worked and fought as a team.
It's a great comeback from Amine Adli and another record in the Xabi books. Xabi Alonso is the first Bundesliga manager to go unbeaten in 28 consecutive away games.

But still it is a difficult distance to catch up.
Bayern Munich is currently winning Eintracht frankfurt by 1:0 at home the game looks difficult for bayern but they have been able to control the game and gottan this very important goals in this game there is still time for both teams to score goals and get all three points. A win for bayern will see them go eight points clear of Leverkusen but am one person who still believes that the league is not over even with a eight points difference by bayern because there are allot of matches still Left to play and bayern too is likely to drop points before the ending of the seasonLeverkusen got a vital away win as they defeated holstein Kiel by 0:2 this win is a good way to bounce back as they have not been getting good results especially away from home Leverkusen has really gone behind Bayarn Munich by plenty points and this win is a good way of bouncing back to form and reducing the points difference knowing that bayern munich has too has not been that fantastic with their performance like that.

5 points is their distance now, at least before Bayern Munich plays their match this week. Looking at the opponent they will face, it is actually quite difficult for Bayern Munich, because their opponent is also in good condition.

In the victory won by Bayern Munich, they gained more points that make it all the more difficult for other teams to try to overtake them. In fact, Bayern Munich gets the victory frequently in this competition, Leverkusen will have a difficult time that attempts to take the first place by attempting to earn the points that remain behind it. Thus, victory fruits have advantages, but at the same time, the lesson one learns is that everything is not as simple as it seems once you win. Each team has the chance to demonstrate something of themselves until the last point and that is why the thing is rather stimulating to observe. We have to observe how everything happens and we have to shift our focus on to the next match.Bayern Munich is currently winning Eintracht frankfurt by 1:0 at home the game looks difficult for bayern but they have been able to control the game and gottan this very important goals in this game there is still time for both teams to score goals and get all three points.

Good game by Dortmund is also worth noting. Hopefully the 6-0 win over Union Berlin will restore their confidence and we'll see them at their best again. They might be on a distant, 10th place currently, but they are 7 points away from the top 4, so, if they get themselves sorted out, they could potentially get back at the top.
Dortmund under this new coach is starting to get it right because right from the champions League playoffs I have seen an improvement in this Dortmund side as they have become a more attacking minded team this is what was lacking in this Dortmund side moving forward they should maintain this kind of performance because it's going to help them in the champions League , scoring 6 goals is a statement that means that they are back to form in the league and because Dortmund has not been doing so great so far this season as they have been struggling moving forward Dortmund should continue this way because the season is coming to a close so they could finish in a European spots at the end of the season

I am happy for Dortmund, but the way Steffen Baumgart set up Union's tactics was a surprise.
Hardly any Union fan expected a point in Dortmund, but this 6-0 was an admission of failure at the highest level.
This victory could be a turning point for Dortmund or just a temporary usual upward swing because it is not every day that Dortmund faces such a disorganized team.
I can probably say that this is one of the best games that Borussia Dortmund can show this season, they performed very well with impressive and effective play.

All fixtures for this weekend together with odds (from DuelBits):tough matches coming up for the top two teams because both of them are playing away against teams that are not doing that great and that makes it dangerous for the both teams because for Leverkusen they have not been good on the road as they have not been getting maximum three points when they go away and coming up a frankfurt side that is in third place and is looking forward to improving their performance and position in the table am not too sure if Leverkusen can get maximum three points from this game because frankfurt is likely to win this game. I think the point game will be increased the more this weekend in the bundesliga table if bayern munich can get a win today against stuttgart

Potentially tough games for Bayern and Leverkusen. Stuttgart is a bit inconsistent this season, but if they play at 100%, they might be able to earn at least a point. Leverkusen is playing away in Frankfurt. Eintracht has lost some steam recently, they only won once in the last 5 games, but they're still dangerous.
If Eintracht loses, it could be a good opportunity for Freiburg to jump up to the 3rd place.
I don't see any of these matches to be tough of eother Leverkusen or Bayern, because these two teams are the strongest and I don't expect their opponents to share point with any of them. Bayern needs the trophy and for that reason, they will make sure that they win Stuttgart tonight. While Leverkusen needs to keep the rhythm playing in order for them to be on track with Bayern for the title race.All fixtures for this weekend together with odds (from DuelBits):tough matches coming up for the top two teams because both of them are playing away against teams that are not doing that great and that makes it dangerous for the both teams because for Leverkusen they have not been good on the road as they have not been getting maximum three points when they go away and coming up a frankfurt side that is in third place and is looking forward to improving their performance and position in the table am not too sure if Leverkusen can get maximum three points from this game because frankfurt is likely to win this game.

In week 24, Leverkusen and Frankfurt will face each other, this will be a tough match for both of them considering what they have shown this season.
The advantage for Leverkusen is that they will play as the host, so they can take advantage of that. However, that also cannot be a guarantee for them, because Frankfurt has the ability to beat them.
Xabi's squad is confident that they will be able to beat Eintracht Frankfurt because they are currently in incredible form. They are unbeaten in 21 Bundesliga games this season.No matter the form that Bayern Leverkusen are in, I think they will still finish in second place in the Bundesliga table this season because Bayern are not letting go of their first position. For Leverkusen though, it will be a plus if they can finish this game with three points and after this prepare to face Bayern on March 5th. If Leverkusen can get six points from this two games, then maybe their title hopes are not yet over.
And Leverkusen have won four of their last five games against Frankfurt. So I bet on Leverkusen to win.

Great performance for Leverkusen as they recommended a 1:4 victory away this result is coming at the right time because Leverkusen can't afford to drop any point again as the title race is getting tougher for Leverkusen because bayern munich is not showing any signs of dropping points because they have been on a winning streak in the bundesliga table. Winning like this is going to put confidence and self believe in the mind of the players great performance by Leverkusen as they had total control of the game and scoring four goals away from home is a sign that they are back to form and is ready to battle it out with bayern munich for the title raceXabi's squad is confident that they will be able to beat Eintracht Frankfurt because they are currently in incredible form.

The title race is still on and Leverkusen is on the right track.
Now, Leverkusen leads with a score of 1-4 from Frankfurt, and it looks like this result will last until the last minute.
With the team's performance improving, the round of 16 matches away to Bayern will be even more interesting to wait for.
Kompany must be careful with the positive trends displayed by Alonso's squad.
Results of all the games of round 24 played so far:Victory can be achieved by the team in first place and the team in second place, so there is no change in the points gap they currently have.

There are 2 games left to play tomorrow and one on Mon.
An impressive win by Leverkusen. It looked like a potentially tough game, but they made it look easy. Leverkusen's chances for defending the championship are very slim, but so is the risk of them losing their current 2nd place.
Big win by Mainz who moved up to the 4rth place at least till Mon (when Freiburg plays with Augsburg).
great performance from the bundesliga this week end as the different matches that was played across the German bundesliga produced a lot of goals one thing that I love about the German bundesliga is that they produce a lot of goals and this week end was not an exception as there was a rain of goals from all matches that was played especially for the top two teams that are fighting for the title because bayern munich and Leverkusen produced a total of nine goals from goals in their respective matches this weekend this is a good one for the league because going into the champions League other teams will find it hard to compete with teams from the bundesliga because of their goal scoring ratioResults of all the games of round 24 played so far:Victory can be achieved by the team in first place and the team in second place, so there is no change in the points gap they currently have.

Bayern Munich can still be comfortably at the top of the standings, it seems they will be able to win the title again this season. That is indeed the target they have set, and Kompany has been able to lead the squad well so far.
Talking about goals, Bayern Munich as usual is the most productive team, they have scored 72 goals so far and that is quite different from other teams.Victory can be achieved by the team in first place and the team in second place, so there is no change in the points gap they currently have.great performance from the bundesliga this week end as the different matches that was played across the German bundesliga produced a lot of goals one thing that I love about the German bundesliga is that they produce a lot of goals and this week end was not an exception as there was a rain of goals from all matches that was played especially for the top two teams that are fighting for the title because bayern munich and Leverkusen produced a total of nine goals from goals in their respective matches this weekend this is a good one for the league because going into the champions League other teams will find it hard to compete with teams from the bundesliga because of their goal scoring ratio

I agree with the fact that Bundesliga is often associated with high attacking duels and the ability to score many goals by big teams contributes to the fascination with this league. Thus, the examples exhibited by the leading clubs look like drama and at the same time, prove that they can perform effectively at the European level. Such an open and direct kind of match ensures that every single match that is played is exciting and can be greatly anticipated especially by those who have an interest in fast moving and constantly surprising football matches.
Big win by Mainz who moved up to the 4rth place at least till Mon (when Freiburg plays with Augsburg).
There is a chance for Borussia Dortmund to get the 4th position. But until now their performance is still not promising to be there.
Big win by Mainz who moved up to the 4rth place at least till Mon (when Freiburg plays with Augsburg).
Mainz stay in 4th place as Freiburg only drew away to Augsburg
Freiburg played well, they dominated and it would have been nice if Freiburg had scored but it wasn't enough.
In the end, the defense decided it and it's a shame Freiburg had a bit of luck.
And we should also give credit to Finn Dahmen, who's just beaten Hitz's record of 398 minutes without conceding. That's the longest streak held by an Augsburg goalkeeper.
Dortmund has been improving in their performance of recent so the probability of them getting a fourth place finish can't be ruled out because for the past few games they have been impressive and played a fantastic game, and they also have the champions League to battle with but drawing against Lillie at home in the champions League first leg is not a good one because Lillie is one team that plays good football i was actually expecting Dortmund to get at least a 1:0 win from this gameThere is a chance for Borussia Dortmund to get the 4th position.

6 points is their distance from the team in 4th position, but even with 6 points they still have to compete with several teams that are above them at this time. It is a difficult job for them to pass several teams.
they failed to win and had to draw in the Champions League, and that was a loss for them. That match they both played cautiously so that it made it difficult for each other to create opportunities.There is a chance for Borussia Dortmund to get the 4th position.

The 1st leg game between Bayern and Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16 has just ended.
I expected it to be an even game, given the most recent results of head to head games between those two, but it was a completely one sided show.
Leverkusen got demolished 3-0. An early goal by Kane set the tone, then another one by Musiala in the 54th and then a nail to the coffin for Leverkusen: a red card for Mukiele in the 62nd minute - after that, it was clear that Leverkusen wouldn't be able to do much and limited themselves to defense but with no luck, as they lost another one with Kane scoring from a penalty.
Looks like the Champions League dream is pretty much over for Leverkusen.
I really know the rational behind Alonso benching all his top strikers in a very important match looks like this that is even a knock out stage of the champions League I think Alonso is starting to lose confidence on his players and it will not be a good one for the team because it's going to definitely have consequences on the team, because playing a champions League match without a striker is something that is of concern but let see how the second leg will go i can't say that the match is over because the second leg is there for Alonso to show his tactics and see if he will turn around things for LeverkusenThe 1st leg game between Bayern and Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16 has just ended.

I don't understand Alonso's tactics starting a game where they need a goal without a striker. It's weird...
He benched Patrick Schick, Nathan Tella, and Victor Boniface against Bayern Munich, what does Alonso expect?
You have strikers, you don't use them. Leverkusen lost because of Xavi Alonso's tactics and not because Bayern were better...
So it's all over, Bayern München has qualified...
Wake up from your dream mate, how do you expect Leverkusen to win Bayern 4-0 and qualify to the quarter finals. It's impossible because the match might end in a draw. We need to talk about realistic things that will play out. On paper and on praticals , Bayern is better than Leverkusen this season. Bayern will definitely win Bundesliga.

If you are a football follower you will know that nothing is impossible in football so don't write them off until the last minute of the second leg I have seen the impossible happen so let see how the second leg is going to be because let tell our self the truth I don't see one fantastic thing that bayern munich played that day the problem with Leverkusen was that there was no finisher in front of goal plus Leverkusen played the majority of the second half with a ten men due to the red card so 3:0 score line is something that is possible to overcome by any spirited team that is hungry to overturn the results of the first legWake up from your dream mate, how do you expect Leverkusen to win Bayern 4-0 and qualify to the quarter finals.

LOL, what a disastrous round. I can't even imagine how many coupons have been ruined.Football is full of surprises, and you will start wondering what happened. I wouldn't say that the three clubs Bayern, Leverkusen and Dortmund olanned it but it was just a coincidence. Imagine assuming out of these three clubs was able to win their match, it would have been a good opportunity to close or widening the point gap. Their points remains stagnant which still gives Bayern a good advantage to win the title.
Bayern loses to Bochum (16th in the league) at home.
Leverkusen loses to Werder at home.
Dortmund loses to Augsburg at home (OK, this one is the least surprising).
I guess Bayern's loss could be explained by the 42nd-minute red card, but still, seeing the leader of the table wasting two-goals advantage to the team from the bottom of the table is not a usual occurrence.

How many tickets were spoiled including those parlays in some matches?Many sportsbooks will be excited because today they had the better of most gamblers.
I think many lost tickets today, even though we know Bayer - Leverkusen and Dortmund were predicted to win but the surprise came in this match.

Like the matches in Bundesliga in matchday 25, the top teams were defeated. It is actually surprising to see Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, and Dortmund got defeats together. This means there will be no addition for their points. But it is bad for Dortmund because they are now in the 10th place. If they won, they must be in 8th place now.
Surprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football.

Surprises is what makes football unique and interesting because it offers the smaller teams to give a good account of them self by trying to proof that every team has an equal chances of winning , this weekend was full of surprises in the German bundesliga title as both Leverkusen and bayern munich all lost their respective games to their opponents but Leverkusen will be the once to have them the self to be blamed for because in a week where Bayarn Munich lost they too lost they would have at least get a slime victory and close in on the gameSurprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football.

Surprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football. Especially when a match is spiced up with drama.Can't believing with this game week Bundesliga match after top teams defeated by mediocre or small teams, Bayern Munich as the top standings team defeated by the bottom position teams Bochum after crucial come back and Bochum won 2-3. Its not problem with away match and Bochum have more confidence for defeating top standings Bundesliga teams although have conceded two goals early.

The league has gotten to a point where bottom placed teams are no longer showing respect for top teams because the battle to escape relegation has started it's literally like looking for a black goat in the day time because after now it will be difficult for bottom placed teams to get results and it will lead to their relegation, but as for Bayarn Munich I was not particularly surprised about this result because bayern munich has just been lucky for the last ten games that they have won because they have not been convincing with their performance Bayarn Munich has to improve on their performance going forwardSurprises in football are something we will always see, big teams losing to small teams and so on are sights that we can witness in football.

Bayern got advantage although defeated in this games week match because the rival team Bayern Leverkusen have got losses defeated by Werder Bremen, now both teams have 8 points remaining with 9 matches left and seems Bayern have bigger chance for winning domestic league this season.

Bayern humiliated Leverkusen again in the Champions League round of 16 2nd leg game. The first time around, they won at home 3-0, tonight Leverkusen got defeated 0-2 in front of their home crowd. This is clearly not the same Leverkusen we saw last season.
Bayern is through to the Champions League quarter-finals and will play Inter at home on 8th of April. The odds are not yet known, but I think Bayern should be a slight favourite to qualify to the semi-finals, despite Inter having a decent season and leading the Serie A table.
OK, so we have two German teams advancing to Champions League quarterfinals: Bayern and Borussia Dortmund.Bayern Munich can qualify easily, they won 5-0 in 2 matches, while Borussia Dormund they have to work harder, but the results are very satisfying by being able to advance to the next round.
Bayern are playing the 1st leg at home against Inter and are a 1.70 favourite to win. Dortmund has a tougher challenge, they are facing Barcelona in an away game and are x7.00 underdog. The full set of odds is not yet released but I think Borussia could be the biggest underdog. To their credit, even if they get eliminated by Barcelona, reaching the quarterfinals stage is still a big success, especially knowing how poorly they've been performing in the Bundesliga. But who knows, they reached the final last year, so maybe they could pull out a similar surprise again this season.
In the next round it will be even more difficult, because it is certain that they will face much more difficult opponents because these are the 8 best teams that have successfully advanced.
This match is open so no team should be underrated because looking at the form of these two teams I will say that it's 50/50 for the two teams because looking at the performance of the two teams inter Milan is even more consistent than bayern munich in their performance so far, so if Bayarn Munich is to make it to the last four then they have to be fantastic because inter Milan has shown class in both the champions League and the seria A this season. Let wait to see who is going to get the win over this one because both teams are in fine form this season, but bayern munich has not been convincing this season in the champions League
In the next round it will be even more difficult, because it is certain that they will face much more difficult opponents because these are the 8 best teams that have successfully advanced.
Agree. Bayern vs Inter is a rematch of the 2010 final, which Inter won 2-0.
Bayern vs. Inter in 2010, still gives me chills. At that time, the Nerazzurri established themselves as the Italian team capable of achieving the treble winner.
And for those who say Bayern will win easily is too underestimate Inter, Inter are not Leverkusen, they are more formidable and know when to show up against the big teams. Don't write them off.

In this you are completely right, on a personal level I have seen that Bayern have had an incredible season, from what I can see in the UCL is that they are very determined, they have achieved their objectives, it is clear that they are almost won in the Budapest Liga, we have to see if they can reach the final stages of the UCL, for now I think that Leverkusen will not be able to catch Bayern this season, and that is something that I find incredible because last season wow they were a machine, next time not, what could have happened to Xabi's team? We do not know, but I think the level of football of the clubs is rising at a very accelerated level.
Yep. But since that dismal performance against the Celtics, Bayern's season has transformed, and the players have more confidence and a better understanding of Kompany's styles than they did at the start of the season.
However, Inter Milan is one of the big teams that is now slowly starting to find their best touch, last season they also managed to win the scudetto title.
In the next round it will be even more difficult, because it is certain that they will face much more difficult opponents because these are the 8 best teams that have successfully advanced.

This is not an easy opponent for Bayern Munich and so is not an easy match for Inter Milan. The chances of both look the same, now we just see who has the best mentality.
Both teams have equal chances of winning this game and advancing to the next round of matches inter Milan has been been in fine form thesame thing with Bayarn Munich I hope bayern munich can show up a great performance against inter Milan and not the kind of performance that they had against Celtic, any team that created more chances and initialize them in front of goal will be better team to make it to the next round of matchesHowever, Inter Milan is one of the big teams that is now slowly starting to find their best touch, last season they also managed to win the scudetto title.

Well, the effectiveness in attacking will be very decisive in this match, because indeed the smallest opportunity must be able to be utilized as best as possible.However, Inter Milan is one of the big teams that is now slowly starting to find their best touch, last season they also managed to win the scudetto title.Both teams have equal chances of winning this game and advancing to the next round of matches inter Milan has been been in fine form thesame thing with Bayarn Munich I hope bayern munich can show up a great performance against inter Milan and not the kind of performance that they had against Celtic, any team that created more chances and initialize them in front of goal will be better team to make it to the next round of matches

(https://i.ibb.co.com/ycd2yYWD/Dortmund.png)Leipzig playing at home is one team that is tough playing against but with the way that Dortmund played in the champions League against Lille I expected them to show a level competition against Leipzig even though they played well Leipzig showed class in the game by having a total control of the game nice win for Leipzig they got this good victory against Dortmund.
Despite many good chances in the second half, Dortmund lost 2-0 in Leipzig, but I don't know what was worse, the first half or the way Dortmund took their chances in the second half. It's crazy that Dortmund players only learn to play football when they're 2-0 down. And let's not talk about taking chances. It was an absolute disaster.
Bayern has better individual quality than Inter, especially in attack. And we know Inter's track record against top teams this season, something is missing.The attacking and options that Bayern have make them a very team to bet on in most games, as if the attackers that start cannot perform, Vincent Kompany has the option of other players to bring in. Inter Milan in the Champions League will need to find a way to deal with Bayern's attack.
Leipzig playing at home is one team that is tough playing against but with the way that Dortmund played in the champions League against Lille I expected them to show a level competition against Leipzig even though they played well Leipzig showed class in the game by having a total control of the game nice win for Leipzig they got this good victory against Dortmund.Leipzig played with a more effective tactic. Meanwhile Dortmund only dominated the match but they scored no goals. There is a problem with Dortmund attacking line in this season. They look like not strong enough, it is quite different from the previous seasons. Anyway, this bad result makes Dortmund to stay in 11th place. It is totally bad result if they end up out of the 10 this season.

Dominating the game and creating many chances is not enough for a team, because it means nothing if they can't score goals, and that's what happened to Borussia Dortmund in this match. They did create many chances and dominated the game, but they couldn't score a single goal which made them lose in the end to Leipzig.Leipzig played with a more effective tactic.

Yup, It was not a bad game by Dortmund. They did (almost) everything right, they controlled the game with almost 70% possession and created more scoring chances (25 shots on goal and 9 on target are very decent numbers). But they were lacking in the only statistic that counts: goals.
It's a shame because, despite being positioned in the middle of the table, they still weren't too far behind the top 4 (Champions League zone).
The ultimate goal of football is about scoring goals so you can't have a total domination of a game with out scoring any team that can't score goals can't win games Dortmund was impressive in a good half of the game but they failed to score and the opposing team made good use of the opportunities that came their way and they got all three points, moving forward Dortmund should be more clinical in front of goals because they are playing in the champions League last eight which will be demanding for them because they are going to be meeting a better teams than the once they have been playing in the bundesligaDominating the game and creating many chances is not enough for a team, because it means nothing if they can't score goals, and that's what happened to Borussia Dortmund in this match. They did create many chances and dominated the game, but they couldn't score a single goal which made them lose in the end to Leipzig.Leipzig played with a more effective tactic. Meanwhile Dortmund only dominated the match but they scored no goals. There is a problem with Dortmund attacking line in this season.

Borussia Dortmund is not the team I saw before, I mean they used to be in 2nd place to give competition to Bayern Munich, but this season they are struggling and keep losing.Dominating the game and creating many chances is not enough for a team, because it means nothing if they can't score goals, and that's what happened to Borussia Dortmund in this match.

This is also because they themselves sold many of their valuable players in the past because they wanted to get profit, now they have to accept the consequences.
To maintain a team at the highest level of the competition without a right approach of constructing a team is not easy. If ever many important players are let go off without and equivalent substitute in the team, then it is obvious that the quality of the game is going to be compromised. This is also largely due to the fact that the club also experiences the elevation of their opponents who seem to be improving each season. At one time or the other they would always be among the teams that would be contending for the premier position but today, they have come to realized that the balance of force is not on their side any longer. Nevertheless, a club as large as Dortmund holds the threat and can get back together if they are able to search for the proper means to reconsider the existing conditions.Borussia Dortmund is not the team I saw before, I mean they used to be in 2nd place to give competition to Bayern Munich, but this season they are struggling and keep losing.Dominating the game and creating many chances is not enough for a team, because it means nothing if they can't score goals, and that's what happened to Borussia Dortmund in this match.

The match between Stuttgart and Leverkusen was a goal feast, and though that game was a rollercoaster it was a fun ride nonetheless.This match demonstrated exactly that, football is most interesting when two teams are willing to push themselves to the limit with never surrender attitude. Each and every athlete applied their best effort, thus making this match one of the most special to have been witnessed. Actually, it is not the victory and defeat issue but the struggle that the teams demonstrate up to the final minutes which should be appreciated. Intense competition was further upheld by the players and the coaching staff as evident in the event. This clearly proves that one has to work through the most difficult of circumstances and one should remain determined. The victor over the next opponent will be waiting as the game has become exciting and in every subsequent battle, teams will also have to try to get to the top of the table.
Leverkusen came away with a dramatic 3-4 victory. Stuttgart initially took a 3-1 lead but Leverkusen showed great resilience. The team played very well. However, Stuttgart's performance was also good in this match.
This match also proved that Leverkusen never gave up fighting to win the title.
The gap between Bayern and Leverkusen is 6 points, and there are only 8 games left to play. This will decide who wins the title.
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.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.
They need luck to be in the safe zone, and we will see if they will be lucky enough or not.
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.With the remaining games, Bochum still has a chance to be in the safe zone.

With 8 games to go, the potentially toughest games where Bayern could lose points are: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
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.
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.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
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.
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.With 8 games to go, the potentially toughest games where Bayern could lose points are: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

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.
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.
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.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.

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.
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.

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
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 LeagueBut I'm still curious why the system is like this, why not divide it equally?

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.

Actually I can understand that, and I also totally agree. But what I mean is the 4 additional slots are not taken from the 32 teams that were previously in the old format.But I'm still curious why the system is like this, why not divide it equally?

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.
I'm not sure if Leverkusen still have faith in their ability to defend the championship with 6-point gap and only 8 games to go. But Bayern's recent failures against weak teams might have sparked some extra hopes and motivation.It is an interesting perspective you have there, and there are few things which can affect this game and make it less easy to forecast it. Nonetheless, Leverkusen has been on an unbeaten run so far even when faced with stiff challenge. They have a good structure and are zealous in attack formation, that makes it very difficult to counter them. Yes, Bochum may come into the match boosted by their impressive victory in the last match against Bayern but football is not a repetition of the previous encounter. At this stage Leverkusen are in very good run and if they do not commit silly mistakes and continue to play full throttle, they should be able to dominate the game. It is possible that some quality and winning attitude established this season will be the key factor.
Leverkusen is obviously a big favourite against Bochum, with odds of x1.25, but it's hard to write Bochum off given they defeated Bayern 3-2 only 2 weeks ago (red card for Bayern in the 42nd minute played a big part though). Can they do it again against Leverkusen? I doubt it. Both teams will be motivated, but Leverkusen is simply a level above.
I think this game is not going to be an easy one for Leverkusen because Bochum was really impressive against bayern munich for the international break so going into this game Leverkusen should be in their best form because they should not underestimate bochum plus they really need to get result both at home and away because as it stand bayern munich is going away with the bundesliga title this season because Leverkusen has not that fantastic this seasonI'm not sure if Leverkusen still have faith in their ability to defend the championship with 6-point gap and only 8 games to go.

I fully agree with you when you say that Bochum will be a good examination of Leverkusen’s strength. Having seen Bochum’s performance in the recent past their victory over giants like Schalke means that they are capable of producing a upset hence Leverkusen should brace for the worst. It cannot be overstated that there is strength to severely punish and with that in mind, there is no room to underestimate the opponent. Also, since Bayern again looks to be even stronger in the fight for the championship in the current season, Leverkusen has to take as many points in the further games as possible. Every point is very important and they have to prove that they still retain this aspect despite this season considered not as perfect as those seasons ago.I think this game is not going to be an easy one for Leverkusen because Bochum was really impressive against bayern munich for the international break so going into this game Leverkusen should be in their best form because they should not underestimate bochum plus they really need to get result both at home and away because as it stand bayern munich is going away with the bundesliga title this season because Leverkusen has not that fantastic this seasonI'm not sure if Leverkusen still have faith in their ability to defend the championship with 6-point gap and only 8 games to go.

Although Leverkusen is not as fantastic as last season, if their opponent is Bochum, then they are clearly much better than their opponent. I believe they can win, especially since they will also play as the host in the match which can really encourage them to win.
Thanks for your valuable inputs. I thought so, but it is always good to have an expert opinion ;).I hope there is an expert opinion that explains this. ;)
This is the more reason that this game could be difficult for Leverkusen because Bochum will try to get a point from this game to improve their position on the standing on the the bundesliga table because they have been poor this season and finding them self in the relegation zone is a good motivation for them to play well so they can get something good From this gameIn terms of chances, Leverkusen is clearly above Bochum, but if we talk about the score, I think they will be able to win by at least 2 goals.

Bochum is struggling to get out of the relegation zone, this can be a strong motivation for them to play with more courage and high self-discipline.
But betting on them is not my choice. And I agree Leverkusen is much better than their opponents, and Leverkusen will win by 2 goals. That makes sense to me :)

Yes, that's my prediction in this match. But if as you said, Bochum dares to appear and dares to attack more then it is very risky for them, because by appearing like that, then it will be risky to create a gap in the defense line that Leverkusen might be able to exploit, and if so then I will not be surprised when they can create more than 2 goals.In terms of chances, Leverkusen is clearly above Bochum, but if we talk about the score, I think they will be able to win by at least 2 goals.

So looks like Bochum means business and refuses to be pushed around despite their low league position.Leverkusen seemed to be struggling a bit in this match - after a few injuries to players though their opponents Bochum in the first half were hard to beat even though it only ended 1-1.
We are at halftime, and Leverkusen is having a hard time. They took a lead in the 20th minute as expected, but Bochum responded only 6 minutes later and we are at 1-1 draw.
Will the second half bring more goals? That's quite likely.
Leverkusen is still a favourite, but the odds for them to win are now x1.55.

It's possible that in the second half things will be different as I predict Leverkusen to win but as Bochum can only defend as they were pressured by Leverkusen throughout the first half.
Although they lost, I really appreciate what St Pauli showed in the match against Bayern Munich. I thought they would lose very easily, but they were able to match Bayern Munich's game, at least in the first half.
However, in the second half they had to concede 2 goals and they could only create 1 goal in return so they had to accept defeat and go home empty-handed.
It is certainly a loss for Bayern Munich for the matches they will play next. However, they can be said to have a balanced squad depth, so this should not be a big problem for them.Although they lost, I really appreciate what St Pauli showed in the match against Bayern Munich.

Agreed. It was a great performance from Alexander Blessin's squad...We have to give them credit.
Bayern achieved a very bitter victory; two players are out again due to injury. It feels like from March onwards, when the time comes, Bayern players drop like flies. Let's hope it's nothing serious.
At the back, Bayern is again very vulnerable, and there are opponents with much better quality in the next game. More attention is needed in the remaining games
Although they lost, I really appreciate what St Pauli showed in the match against Bayern Munich. I thought they would lose very easily, but they were able to match Bayern Munich's game, at least in the first half.You're right st pauli showed class against bayern munich playing away from home I was really expecting a different scoreline but I was wrong with the way that they played but for bayern munich this win showed that they are in full control of their destination in the bundesliga because at this point of the season what you need the most is the points and not necessarily how you play
However, in the second half they had to concede 2 goals and they could only create 1 goal in return so they had to accept defeat and go home empty-handed.
I saw Borussia Dortmund back with their good game when they managed to beat Mainz. This is the Borussia Dortmund that was missing during this season. The game in this match they played very well.Dortmund improving bit their position standing after victory over Mainz and break to 10th standings position after recently drop to 12th standings. Indeed outside from the champion league spot place but victory over Mainz 3-1 have chance for Dortmund raise the top fourth behind 7 points left awhile.
They could score 3 goals and that could make them win, although Mainz tried to reply, they could only score 1 goal and that was not enough to make them match Borussia Dortmund.
I think Dortmund should focus more on finishing in a top four position by getting a good result in the remaining games that are left for them to play in the bundesliga because of they focus on the champions League too much it's going to affects them because in the champions League there are much better opponents so for Dortmund this season there task should be how they can get a top four finish the worst should be a Europa League sports because Dortmund missing out on the champions League will be a blow to Dortmund as a clubI saw Borussia Dortmund back with their good game when they managed to beat Mainz.

I think Dortmund bad performed in this season not over yet to reach higher standings position and have exist at Champion League quarter final match against Barcelona. If Dortmund can reach until final in Champion League and finish at top fourth position likely not bad performance.

If Dortmund can reach until final in Champion League and finish at top fourth position likely not bad performance.Well considering Dortmund's performances in previous seasons this season their performance has been lacking, so in view of this yes, they need to improve, of course if they achieve the impossible and possible thing of beating Barcelona in the UCL then it would be epic and possibly the best thing they can do to wash away the poor performance they have had in the Bundesliga, personally for me they have been very bad this season, they should at least be in 5th position, and they are already 5 places higher, if they do their best in the UCL and achieve it my total respect.
Borussia Dortmund is finally showing some improvement, after two embarrassing losses to Leipzig and Augsburg, they finally put themselves together and noted a comfy win over a tough rival, Mainz (currently 4th). Hope to see them play at their 100% in the UCL quarter-final against Barcelona next week.
It is not impossible for them to do that, in the previous season they were also able to be in the final. But of course they have to go through a steep path, because they have to face a very tough team.I saw Borussia Dortmund back with their good game when they managed to beat Mainz. This is the Borussia Dortmund that was missing during this season. The game in this match they played very well.Dortmund improving bit their position standing after victory over Mainz and break to 10th standings position after recently drop to 12th standings. Indeed outside from the champion league spot place but victory over Mainz 3-1 have chance for Dortmund raise the top fourth behind 7 points left awhile.
They could score 3 goals and that could make them win, although Mainz tried to reply, they could only score 1 goal and that was not enough to make them match Borussia Dortmund.

It will be difficult for Dortmund to make it to the champions League final this year because this year there are more challenging and tougher oppositions in the champions League plus Dortmund is not in the best of forms because they are just trying to come back to form so I don't see them playing competitively with the best of clubs in Europe what Dortmund should focus more this season is to see how they will make it to the champions League next season by finishing in the top four spots in the bundesliga table this seasonIt is not impossible for them to do that, in the previous season they were also able to be in the final.

I myself am not so sure they will be able to do it, although their chances are still there, but the percentage is not greater than other teams that are considered tougher.
It is not impossible for them to do that, in the previous season they were also able to be in the final. But of course they have to go through a steep path, because they have to face a very tough team.For sure their flight to the final stage will not be smooth-sailing, especially when one faces teams with high quality. In as much as this may have been the case, history had seen that even the under dogs within teams are capable of creating a shocker if they set their mode in the right animal spirit and game strategy. They will not have such strong chances as the other teams, but they will be able to show that they deserve to be on the highest level. Football is a sport that cannot be easily foreseen and that is why it attracts many people. One should also appreciate for the way they address each occasion with lots of preparedness and calmness.

That's it, they are in a difficult situation, their game is not like the usual seasons where they usually play well, but this season they are not performing well.It is not impossible for them to do that, in the previous season they were also able to be in the final.

Despite Kompany announcing they will approach the game at "full throttle", Bayern is struggling against Augsburg.
If the game ends up with a draw and if Leverkusen wins tomorrow against 16th Heidenheim, the gap would reduce to only 4 points and the finish of the season will get much more exciting. I wouldn't mind that to happen at all.
The match ended 1-3, and Bayern defeated the hottest team in the Bundesliga, ending Augsburg's 11-match unbeaten run.
It was an important win and important three points. The fact that the game turned around after going behind was also positive. But Musiala's injury ruined the win and the good mood. Congratulations...
Now it's time to rest until Wednesday against Inter.
Without the red card the mood of the game might have been a little different, although in reality we would have predicted a Bayern Munich win.The match ended 1-3, and Bayern defeated the hottest team in the Bundesliga, ending Augsburg's 11-match unbeaten run.

I didn't even know about that Augsburg's 11 games without loss streak. It's a shame, but that Zesiger's red card in the 58th minute helped Bayern a lot.
That put some pressure off their shoulders and now they can fully focus on their next game, which is Inter in the Champions League quarter final on Tuesday. Bayern is a slight favourite to get through to the semi final.
Without the red card the mood of the game might have been a little different, although in reality we would have predicted a Bayern Munich win.Agree. The match may end up with a draw if there was no red card. But I think Bayern Munich was still capable to win the match. Sure, the red card made an advantage for Bayern Munich, they will be easier to win because they played against 10 Augsburg players. However, winning this match, Bayern Munich seems to be closer to the trophy for this season. I personally don't see a chance that Leverkusen may overtake the position of Bayern Munich in the 1st place. Now, the point gap is 9 points, sure it is a large point gap.
Now Bayern Munich are firmly in the table with a big points difference from Leverkusen, and the thought of this week in the quarterfinals against Inter is a tough one for Bayern.

The red card received by Augsburg was one of the factors that made Bayern Munich finally able to win this match. The hosts were able to put up a meaningful fight before they received the red card and they were even able to take the lead first.
However, Bayern Munich were also able to take advantage of their advantage, they were able to make good use of the players they had on the field so that they were able to successfully bring home the victory.
I don't underestimate any team in the Champions League, but I think Barcelona won't lose to Dortmund in the quarter-finals. They're going to the semi-finals, at least. Probably also to the final unless they somehow fuck it upI also think for Barcelona because they have come a long way to allow Borussia Dortmund make them not to get to champions League finals, Barcelona has not been form for quite seasons, so since they have break free from those season it will never be easy for any club that would meet them, however Borussia Dortmund has not even compete equally with Bayern Leverkusen to be meeting Barcelona whom can now be high rank than Bayern Munich itself, so actually is a go home for Borussia Dortmund on the champions League as they start.
Barca's game under Flick continues to develop well; they continue to have more shots on goal, and the control of the game just needs consistency. When they concede goals, it's more due to their own mistakes not the dominance of the opponent.

Looking at Dortmund's current form, no one would dare to predict Dortmund will win this match, especially since Barcelona is playing at home. But we still can't be 100% sure that Barcelona is in the best position because anything can happen on the pitch.Anything can happen on the pitch I agree with that. But we will also see how they perform and at the moment their performance does not show that they can do it all.
I'm so hyped for the Champions League showdown too, but no complacency; let's not forget how Arsenal shocked Madrid yesterday or how Inter beat Bayern in Allianz Arena
Every goal in this match, whether against Borussia Dortmund or Barca, is going to be electric.
Good luck to both of them....
A lot of things are happening with the referees lately, and this is something that is really alarming, that is why we must be very critical, sometimes bad refereeing harms a team, which is really infuriating, human errors in games at this stage are inconceivable, of course they have the help of the VAR, so for me corruption is present in all the praise, and that is something that bothers, some say that Bayern is very lucky, yes, maybe, but we do not know what other hands are handling things in world football.
Augsburg was down to ten men, and the match ended in a 1-3 for Bayern. There is no club to criticise here except the referee.

I am not underestimating them, but I am just saying something based on what I see now. Of course we will first think realistically even though nothing is impossible in football.
I don't expect this kind of result from Dortmund I expected a much more better result that Dortmund is having a good form of result now this is not a good one for bundesliga teams because Bayern Munich too lost at home in the champions league let see how the second leg will turn out to be if they can do anything to upturn this result, because Barcelona is in a very good form watching the game yesterday I was just surprised by the way Barcelona had total control of the game with this result Barcelona is in the semi finals of the champions league because I don't see them lossing the second legLooking at Dortmund's current form, no one would dare to predict Dortmund will win this match, especially since Barcelona is playing at home.

And congrats...you are right. Barcelona crushed Dortmund with a score of 4-0.
Honestly, I bet Barca will win this match, but I didn't expect Dortmund to lose with a score like this.
How is there any consideration to extend Kovac's contract after this defeat? There's no plan, no concept, no will. Dortmund will not go anywhere next year.
Even Bayern lost to Inter at home. I doubt any of them will qualify.
Yes, maybe some people did not expect that Borussia Dortmund would concede that many goals, but some others were not surprised by this because from the beginning of the season we saw a performance that was not so good from Borussia Dortmuind.Anything can happen on the pitch I agree with that.

Of course no one wants their team to be struggling but what that occurred was not out of the blue. If there is no stability throughout the season then it is quite natural that the results attained are below the expected level. But, however, football would still allow for some surprises here and there. Thus, nothing is yet over, to say the least, since the last game has not yet been played. Subsequently, what is left in the basket for the team, of course, is how they are going to approach their next match, not expecting luck to repeat the set of previously played cards but insisting that anything is possible.
They can now only surrender in my opinion while hoping that luck will come to them in the second leg later. But looking at the moment, that luck seems quite impossible.

Indeed, it is quite difficult to come to terms with the fact that the Bundesliga has to quit its course halfway through. Of all German clubs in question the performance does not indicate that they can still perform well in the European competitions until the end of the season. Comparing with the last season, this result cannot be considered as a fully successful one. Inability to have a steady improvement even when teams from other leagues demonstrate this form of improvement becomes a characteristic of the Bundesliga. As always the football was full of shocks and there was nothing extraordinary that the teams could count on. Now, it is left to wonder how the German teams can return even stronger in the next seasons with much better preparation.
Bundesliga clubs have been very disappointing in the Champions League this season. There have been no more surprises like last season, even in the Europa League, only Eintracht Frankfurt has been able to go far, at least so far.
The German Bundesliga is officially out of the race for the Champions League title.
A heartbreaking end to what once seemed so promising. :(

And congrats...you are right. Barcelona crushed Dortmund with a score of 4-0.I no that Barcelona will do that to them because the level of players Barcelona has is not the same with that of Borussia Dortmund, from Lewandowski to the rest of the players are very experience, they seem little by age but never in the field because they always find there way through all the time, there was a time I thought Lewandowski had loss form but it did not take time to revive himself and now is difficult for a single match to pass without him having a goal for Barcelona, they are currently wining Leganes.

After being crushed by Barcelona in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund managed to hold their rivals who are at the top of the standings to a draw this week. They were able to take home 1 point from Bayern Munich's headquarters.
Bayern Munich dominated the match but Borussia Dortmund were able to defend well and they were even able to score first. Then the situation turned around, but Borussia Dortmund were able to score another equalizer that lasted until the end.
Well, in the next few hours they will return to compete in the Champions League with a very difficult task. Yes, they have to catch up on their deficit against Barcelona that occurred in the first leg.After being crushed by Barcelona in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund managed to hold their rivals who are at the top of the standings to a draw this week.

When Dortmund was in better form and had better players, they lost 4-0 or 5-0. Now, they can make it 2-2. I think they have to be proud of that.
The Dortmund players have to take it one match at a time, give it everything, and then they will see how valuable this point was at the end.
They tried hard in this match, and they need this type of mentality against Barcelona in the second leg with the support of the Yellow Wall.

There is no other choice for them but to play without any burden and play as well as possible. Whether or not they can turn things around will depend heavily on their luck in the match. I hope at least they can put up a meaningful fight.

This season is a bad one for Dortmund because their performance declined drastically overtime.

Dortmund needs to focus on their league games in order to secure their position in the European competitions because they are already out the Champions League. They aren't the king of comeback in a major competition that we can expect to do better while hosting Barcelona, they were humiliated by conceding 4 goals.
However, Dortmund must give it their all in the remaining in the season, they can lose their chances to play in any European competition next season, they are currently in 8 positions, 6 away from the top four, and 3 points different from the conference qualifiers. I hope they do not miss the opportunity this season, since it would be a shame for a big club like Dortmund.
Evaluating the history and the identity of a club as giant as Dortmund, the current events did throw a dark shadow on many of its enthusiasts. When the positions are rarely seen before, concern always makes its way in, especially when the point region seems reachable at any given time. We are aware this club has been at a much better position, to which much of the recent results they have gotten suggest that some of their key pillar are unfavourable and at risk of being overthrown. It is not about the loss but how the team is competitive enough to face pressure that rises and falls like the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. If the mood in the dressing room becomes uninspiring then what is observed from the players will just be as uninspiring as it was in the dressing room. Maybe, it is not about the enemy anymore but what the enemy deems himself to be.After being crushed by Barcelona in the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund managed to hold their rivals who are at the top of the standings to a draw this week.

I observed something about Dortmund performance this season, they only improved their game in the Champions League, but they lost league games against weak teams. Dortmund has turned to a average squad this season, with only 3 wins in their previous 6 league games. If they can finish in any European positions, Niko Kovac's job will be secure.
However, even their previous game against Bayern Munich, I didn't expect them to draw since they did not meet our expectations this season. This is not the Dortmund we've seen in the previous seasons, who have made it tough for Bayern Munich to maintain their league table position.
And just like that, all German teams have finished their adventure in the Champions League. Dortmund got eliminated by Barcelona yesterday, and Bayern by Inter tonight.
But it's worth noting that both teams put up a really good fight in the 2nd leg. Who would have thought that Dortmund could beat Barcelona 3-1. Despite the massive advantage from the 1st leg and despite playing away, Barcelona was still the bookies' favourite to win the game, but Borussia refused to go down easily.
Bayern dominated in both games in terms of shots on goal and ball possession, but had a hard time converting. The luck was clearly not on their side, but they have nothing to be ashamed of. Reaching the quarter-finals of the most prestigious club cup is a success on its own.
This week Bayern Munich will get an easy opponent, they will face a team that is in a very unsafe zone, so they should be able to win easily.Even though I can see why you are considering this to be an easy game, I am approaching this a little differently. That is why sometimes teams that are in the bottom of the standings are capable of showing excellent performance when they no longer expect anything from themselves but a desperate desire to win. Bayern will definitely have more quality and longer rest but such games often produce surprises sometimes. However, the intensity of the game will depend on the mentality of the players and how much they would be able to keep it up all throughout the game. For example, if they treat the situation as some kind of formality, then there can always be a possibility of a mistake. In my view they can still clinch the title but they must be extra cautious.
They are also eliminated from the Champions League, so there is no reason for them not to focus on the Bundesliga. They must use this match to get a win so they can get the title early.
Borussia Dortmund Vs Borussia Mönchengladbach could be a fun game to watch. Despite being placed 8th at the moment, Dortmund is still within a range to even fight for the 4th place so they still have something to fight for. After beating Barcelona 3-1, the team's morale is probably high and they do tend to perform much better at home, so I expect 3 points for Dortmund.
I can also understand what you mean, because it's not just once or twice that we see a team that is not even considered at all can actually make a big surprise.This week Bayern Munich will get an easy opponent, they will face a team that is in a very unsafe zone, so they should be able to win easily.Even though I can see why you are considering this to be an easy game, I am approaching this a little differently.

Leverkusen looked pale yesterday against St Pauli and have buried their chances of defending the championship. They couldn't dominate the game, went defensive after taking the lead but that backfired on them.
Now the gap between them and Bayern is 8 points (with Bayern having much better goal difference), with 4 games to go. Their 2nd place is not threatened, as the gap between Leverkusen and the 3rd Eintracht is 12 points.
The real battle will be fought for the 4th spot, the last one that grants participation in the Champions League. Dortmund is pressing hard, they did a good job yesterday by defeating Moenchengladbach. Out of the outstanding 4 games Dortmund have to play, 3 are fairly easy, against teams from the bottom of the table, and one is an away game against Leverkusen, but, at that stage, Leverkusen will have nothing left to play for, so they might go easy and let Dortmund win.
I expect Dortmund to finish in the top 5.
But in this match Bayern Munich successfully did their job very well, they won with a landslide score, 4 goals without reply. This is not something surprising because I think many people have predicted it.I also think so, for me Bayern this time want to do everything right, win the Budensliga and also be among the best in the Club World Cup which is the other thing that is pending, so in view of these things it can be intuited that Leverkusen will have a very difficult time reaching them, their last game or drew, so I don't think they will be a pursuer that will not let them respect, I think that this time Kane will finally be able to achieve victories.
Leverkusen are not as scary as last season, they are still quite good this season, but they are starting to have problems where other teams can bring the strategy they apply.Leverkusen has been declining their performance in this season. They got too many draws, they have got 10 draws until now. I think the main problems of this team that they have no strong attackers, they only have strong defenders and midfielders. Xabi seems too confident with his team, so he isn't aware of the weakness.
In the last week they had to share points when facing ST Pauli and this is their last 2 consecutive draws. Next season, I want to see them more ready to give competition to Bayern Munich again.
I can't believe we're only 4 rounds away from the end of the season. Time flies.
This weekend, things are stacked pretty nicely for Borussia Dortmund. They are playing away against Hoffenheim, a team from the bottom of the table, which is placed quite safely above the relegation zone (8 points buffer from the 16th place), so it's Borussia who should be more determined to win.
At the same time, few teams ranked above Dortmund are underdogs in their games and are likely to lose some points: Leipzig is playing away against Eintracht, Mainz is playing away against Bayern and Freiburg is playing away against Wolfsburg (this one should be an even game, with Wolfsburg being a very slight favourite).
After a pretty horrible season, I'd like to see Dortmund finishing in style and making it to the top 4. Fingers crossed.
Yes I agree, they didn't bring in many new players and still trust most of the players who brought them the title last season. That's not wrong, but it also creates weaknesses that are starting to be realized by their opponents.Leverkusen are not as scary as last season, they are still quite good this season, but they are starting to have problems where other teams can bring the strategy they apply.Leverkusen has been declining their performance in this season.

In the next season, Leverkusen must have stronger attackers if they want to challenge Bayern Munich. Honestly, there is no good strikers, there is no quality wingers. Leverkusen only has Florian Wirtz as a quality player in their attacking line.
Kane has a great chance to end his career with a trophy, meaning that the long wait he has been waiting for to win a title will most likely happen this season.But in this match Bayern Munich successfully did their job very well, they won with a landslide score, 4 goals without reply.

This is a great season for Kane, he will win a trophy and be the most influential player in Bayern Munich. I think he won't end his career very soon, he will continue to be a football player for the next few years. I really hope Kane will end his career with an UCL trophy.
Believe it or not, when many people say he is a curse will disappear when he can actually win a title. And I'm sure there will be many people who congratulate him for his long wait and moreover he also deserves it.

He has enjoyed his time at Bayern because there he is given credit for the kind of player he is and his dreams are given an avenue to be fulfilled. In how he plays there is this sense that there is new confidence that makes even more menacing than before. This is the first step to new successes and getting the Bundesliga title may awaken more ambitions in him and I am certain that with desire he wants to win the Champions League. It will therefore be my testimony, supported by the case of Kane that the bold moves are always most advantageous in the long run.
There is no a curse. Kane proves that he can win a prestigious trophy. When he moved to Bayern Munich, it was surely the right decision. He will never win any trophy with his previous club.
Bayern Munich performance so far shows that they are on track for a potential Bundesliga win. Which would be a great achievement for Harry Kane. Lerverkusen's recent point drop against st pauli has actually brought Bayern more closer in securing the title. Kane influence in the team is undeniable and it's visible for all to see his contribution towards every game. Wining this prestigious title would be proof to his skills, his goal scoring ability has been instrumental in Bayern Munich success. I think his move to Bayern Munich seems to have been a great decision.This season, Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga trophy and Kane will be the top scorer.

Regarding Dortmund's chances for the 4th place:
Freiburg is almost guaranteed to lose at least one game as they are playing against Leverkusen and Eintracht.
Leipzig is playing against Bayern, so also likely to lose points.
Dortmund has a big chance of jumping into the 4th place, but the big question is whether Leverkusen will play at their 100% and if not, will they also go easy on Freiburg?
There are some theories that some clubs sometimes give other teams favours and expect them to return them later. Also, from the wider Bundesliga perspective, having Dortmund in the Champions League instead of Freiburg or Leipzig is much more preferred for German football as a whole.
Believe it or not, when many people say he is a curse will disappear when he can actually win a title. And I'm sure there will be many people who congratulate him for his long wait and moreover he also deserves it.The truth is I wish Kane had his good opportunity to win not only the Budapest League but many more competitions, what they talk about the curse is something that can be removed, everything in this life can be achieved, and it is already starting to materialize, so in view of these things the Bundesliga is being very interesting, not only Bayern, we also see the great progress of Leverkusen and speaking of Leverkusen it is very likely that Xabi will leave the team to go to Madrid, in any case we will have to wait.

With the ability he has, I agree he should be able to get something bigger, but the problem is this is a team effort and it can't be pursued alone.Believe it or not, when many people say he is a curse will disappear when he can actually win a title.
