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 again

Xabi 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.

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.

The Bundesliga is back in action this weekend, with probably the most interesting game happening tomorrow (Dortmund playing Leverkusen at home).

Full fixtures for the weekend, together with odds are as follows:


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.

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 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.

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.

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
But I think Leverkusen will be the team to loss if they fail to get all three points against a Dortmund side that has not been classic as they use to in the past and convincing because they are really struggling while Leverkusen is in second position behind Bayarn Munich with on four points so a win for Leverkusen will help in closing the gap between the two teams and bring the league to an excitement mood because there will be competitiveness between the top two teams which will be decisive on who will be the champions of the bundesliga title

We have the match Dortmund vs Leverkusen now. It is the first half of the match, Leverkusen is leading with 3 goals. Meanwhile Dortmund only could score 1 goal until now. It seems Leverkusen wants to secure their win since the first half of the match. They used an offensive formation, it is quite rare they are playing very offensive. However, it is likely very effective to deal with Dortmund strategy. I'm sure Leverkusen can score more goals and they will secure 3 points if they keep playing like this until the end of the match. 


It is minute 45'. The first half of the match is almost over.

Yep. Bayern has a strong squad for this season and Kompany was quite successful in building a team with a positive atmosphere in the squad.
Players are motivated and enjoy training, and open communication, even if they aren’t playing regularly. This unity contrasts sharply with previous managers.
However, improvements are still needed in counterattack, defense, decision-making, and finishing.

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.

Match over.
And this is the result.


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, 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.

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.

Pretty entertaining opening of the new round after the winter break. especially the first half. After the 2nd goal for Leverkusen in the 8th minute, it could look like we might see a double-digit result by the end of the game, but Borussia put themselves together and fixed holes in their defence (well, somewhat).
As I posted earlier, defeating Borussia in front of their own fans is not an easy task as they tend to perform really well at home, so it's a pretty precious victory for Bayer.
Who knows, maybe they will manage to defend their title after all.
Until tomorrow, the gap between Bayern and Bayer is only 1 point.

Some good news for Bochum. their previous 1-1 draw with Union Berlin got overturned by a German sports court to a 2-0 win. This is following an incident where Bochum's goalkeeper (Patrick Drewes) was hit by a lighter tossed at him by one of the Union Berlin supporters, who got irritated that Drews was taking too long and stalling the game to protect a favourable 1-1 draw.
Some say Drews didn't really suffer that much and he just used that opportunity to steal more time, but, nevertheless, Bochum will get rewarded with a win. I'm not sure if the decision is now official or if Union can still appeal, as this doesn't seem to be reflected in the official table yet.

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 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.
