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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This is one of the things they have to fix, at least they have to be able to change that habit. Business is a must, but they also have to look at the interests of the team because they also have to get an achievement that they can be proud of.

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.

Meanwhile, we have a 1-1 draw in Leipzig Vs Eintracht and the 2nd half has just begun. If Eintracht was to win this one, they would jump up to the 2nd place with only 3 points behind Bayern.

Dortmund this season is very different from last season, Sahin has not been able to make the team better.
After almost half a year, Sahin couldn't make any difference to what Terzic played
There is no unity or team spirit that can be felt. Being in eighth place in the standings is not a good result. 4th place is very far, both in terms of points and consistency. lol
Perhaps fans should now accept that the current Dortmund team is mediocre.

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

You're right, there are many things that can influence, in fact it's very common, my thing is happening to City in the PL, and it's incredible because they are teams that proved to be very good last season, so it's like all the magic is left in last season and it's a shame,  I like to see good football and that's something we all look for, that's why the big bets and everything , but right now there's no clarity, anyone can win, which makes it more difficult to bet, in Germany Football is very important, and until now Bayern has done well, they're playing very well, I think it will be difficult for them to dethrone at the pace they're going.

Harry Kane is said to possibly be back in action for the weekend game against Lepzig:
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).

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

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

The truth is I would like to see Leverkusen and Madrid go through between them, because for me they are the ones that have performed the best since last season. Of course this season things have not gone well for them, injuries, things are not going their way, it is difficult because in football there are moments of crisis and that can take its toll. Leverkusen Undoubtedly won over all of Germany and that is something that continues to be evident, that is why many hope that they can Continue doing things well, and if they pull off a surprise in the UCL that would be very good.

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.

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.

Leverkusen will host Freiburg this week, it will not be easy for them to beat Freiburg, because Freiburg itself is a team that is considered in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen has just gained an advantage after Bayern Munich suffered a defeat in the previous week, now the points gap between them is 4. Leverkusen must be able to maintain this momentum and not lose points to continue to stick closely to Bayern Munich.

[pawel7777]

I think odds for Leipzig winning (or drawing) are misplaced and are much higher than they should be.
Of course, I agree that Bayern is the favourite to win tonight's game, but odds of x1.22 for Bayern and x10.00 for Leipzig are a bit off, and I think betting a small amount on the underdog, or a double-chance bet (Leipzig to win or draw) of x3.50 is a good value bet.

Looking at the last 5 games (all competitions) Bayern has won only 2 of them, wile Leipzig has won 3. Leipzig's problem is lack of consistency, they have games when they get defeated conceding a lot of goals, but on their good days, their defence is really solid. They don't tend to score as often as teams from the top 3, but they could easily make a surprise tonight and steal some points from Bayern.

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.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The Bundesliga in general is very eco-inspiring, for me the champion will undoubtedly be Bayern, of course that is if Dortmund continue as they are. I have been a little disappointed with Leverkusen's performance, I didn't think I would see them like this this season, of course I also didn't expect them to do what they did last season when they were going to win with all their games unbeaten, but I think they need a lot more, I know that the UCL is the one they are mostly looking for, but they need to do something more to be able to be at that level, Xabi is a good coach, but I think he has to give it all away in the Bundesliga.
