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.

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.

Bayern Leverkusen unbeaten record stopped on 35 matches in Bundesliga after defeating by RB Leipzig last match, but its not problem for them keep defend the domestic league tittle because in this season just playing two matches only.
Bayern Leverkusen still strongest team right now because they have signed many top players and losing three points last match make them keep confidence for upcoming match after international break.
Leverkusen will face Hoffeinhem for next match and Xavi Alonso won't loss three points in consecutives two matches, they have motivate for getting three points on next match and keep at the top fourth standings position.

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.

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.

At the beginning of the season they seemed to be declining, but they could improve even more as the competition progresses, because usually they will find their best form again after playing many matches.

Xabi Alonso will also not remain silent seeing their team not being able to perform as well as before, he will definitely do something that can make his team improve even more.

Odds makers seem to be thinking that Dortmund will have no troubles defeating Heidenheim, with odds (per Duelbits) being as follows:
Dortmund: x1.40
Draw: x5.0
Heidenheim: x7.50

With other betting sites paying less for Dortmund but more for Heidenheim.

I'm not sure if I agree with this sentiment. I think there's a big chance Borussia will struggle tomorrow. It's not just that Heidenheim won their first two league games and are currently leading the table, looking at their match history, including friendlies, they are on 10 wins streak including against teams like Parma or Espanyol.
Who knows, maybe betting on the underdog or on a draw could be a good value.

Borussia Dortmund will host Heidenheim this week, it will be a challenging match for them because Heidenheim itself started the league quite well.

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 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.

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.

I expected Heidenhaim to steal some points from Borussia today but I was wrong.
Decent game by Heidenheim though, they proved they're not pushovers, they created some chances and scored twice, but that was just not enough. Dortmund was just a level above. Judging by today's performance, I expect Heidenheim to finish at the top-half of the table, but unlikely higher than 5th place.

Burussia is now a temporary leader with 7 points after 3 rounds, but will most likely be overtaken by Bayern, Leipzig, or both tomorrow.

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

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.

On the other hand, I see Heidenheim not faltering quickly, they can still fight even though in the end they have to lose. Indeed, the difference between them is quite visible and this is a reasonable victory for Borussia Dortmund.

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.

Anyway, finally Leverkusen also runs a great result again in this match, winning 4 - 1 from Hoffeinheim, doing big attacks and having more ball possession, This time, Leverkusen is getting better again.

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.

[pawel7777]

So all the title contenders (the top 5 teams from the previous season) delivered this round, except Leipzig, who, despite best efforts, couldn't score a goal against Union Berlin and had to split points by a goalless draw. They've won their first 2 games and are still in the top 3, so not a big deal.

Much needed win by Leverkusen, hopefully the 4-1 away win against Hoffenheim will restore their confidence and help them go back to their previous season form.

As expected, Bayern had no problems in earning points on Holstein-Kiel, but the home team made it very easy for Bayern, the horrible mistakes in defence they made were not what you'd expect from any Bundesliga team.

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.

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.
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...

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).
