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.

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.

Borussia Dortmund was lucky to complete the comeback in their last match; they showed some qualities of a big team and it helped them very well in the match, which is why they are able to come up in the Bundesliga table, and we can now say that they can do it 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.

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.

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.

Their team is balanced and can score goals and defend well. This gives them advantage. Leverkusen defense is strong but if their offense struggles it can not be enough. Munich balance and quality make them best team to win Bundesliga title.

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.

Indeeed, they do well every season. And eventually they will bring out top players, and we know what will happen to them.

including currently Karim Edeyemi is also in very good form. Even in UCL, this time, he was able to get a hat trick, completing the 7 goals that Dortmund got against Celtic. Wow this is extraordinary.

Great performance in the Champions League tonight by both, Borussia and Leverkusen. Borussia has demolished Celtic 7-1 and has moved to the 1st place of the table where they are likely to stay at least until the next round. Bayer had much more modest win, only 1-0, but over AC Milan, so definitely a big success.

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.

Stuttgart played more constructively than their opponents but lacked ideas in the final third. Only Stiller has created an artistic chance despite being weak, in the 72nd minute.
Too many selfish, and slow players. This game showed Stuttgart doesn’t belong in the Champions League….
And this is the second draw in their last two games but let's see when they are against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Any thoughts on the Eintracht Vs Bayern this Sunday?
Eintracht is doing surprisingly good this season with 4 wins and 1 loss (to Borussia Dortmund) which currently give them a 2nd place in the table, only 1 point behind Bayern. But that could be due to rather easy matches they played.
Does anyone think they are strong enough to have a chance of winning, or at least earning 1 point on Bayern, or do you expect Bayern's easy win?

Frankfurt did quite OK last season, finished 6th, but they were 16 points behind the 5th Borussia Dortmund, which shows there was a big gap between the top 5 and the rest of the league.

The odds are:
Frankfurt: x5.60
Draw: x5.00
Bayern: x1.46

The big match that we have been waiting for this season has happened, yes it is the match between Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen which ended with a score of 1-1. This result is a result that shows that both teams have big targets this season.

Although Bayern Munich can dominate the game, Leverkusen is good at implementing defense, so that makes it very difficult for Bayern Munich's attack line to penetrate.

[pawel7777]

Regarding Eintracht Vs Bayern, I don't think Bayern is concerned about Eintracht overtaking them. The Frankfurt team is doing very well, but we're only 5 rounds into the season and we all know that Frankfurt will not be a top contender for winning the league. For them, finishing in the top 4 would be a great success.
Bayern's top rivals this season remain Leverkusen and Dortmund (and maaaybe Leipzig as a dark horse), both of which have a relatively easy games (at least on paper) so it's important for Bayern to win to keep the 3 points advantage over those two.

Although maybe referring to Union Berlin as an easy opponent for Dortmund is not quite fair. Union is an average team and Dortmund is not famous for their consistency, so a surprise in Berlin is not impossible.

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.

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.

On the other hand, Leverkusen will not remain silent, they will definitely try their best to be able to return to the top of the standings, even though it is difficult, they will definitely try to continue to get maximum points from every match they will play.

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.

Bayern's honeymoon phase was stopped by Villa, full focus on the next game and I hope Kompany understands the mistakes so they can avoid them.
On Sunday Bayern will continue the away match against Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
And I hope Coman is no longer prioritized over Musiala, Sane, or Tel
Let's see if Bayern improves, an away win will be important.

There are 4 matches being played now, one of which is the match between Leverkusen vs Holstein Kiel. Leverkusen is already leading 2-0 in this match, they can even create quick goals in the 4th and 8th minutes.

They should be able to win, with the 2 goal advantage they have created, with opponents who have far below their quality, there is no reason for Leverkusen to lose full points.

[pawel7777]

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.
