Bayern did it again. Another 3 points earned on Werder after 3-0 win in a very one-sided show. Werder almost didn't exist in that game with only 25% possession, 2 shots on goal and zero on target.
Both Leverkusen and Eintracht drew their games, so Bayern widened the gap and it doesn't look like they have to worry about any competition for the league title this season.

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.

Dortmund is a team that has basically done things right, but there is a certain uncertainty when it comes to winning, of playing better games. It is useless if they play very well, but if in the end they draw or lose, that is a total failure, because they are failing in the definition Sometimes it does not matter if they play badly, but if they score the goal and win , then that is what really matters. Sometimes football can sound and look unfair at times, but it is like that Well, that is putting aside the management of the referees and the VAR, which now seems very, very bad to me in all the Games.

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.

In the first match under Niko Kovac, a lackluster Dortmund suffered a work-related defeat.
However, the problem goes deeper. The club has leadership problems and that's what happens here. Poor leadership has had a huge impact.
The board can pretend they only want superstars(which they won’t sign anyway), but they also need to provide depth and they haven't done that. It's incompetence at its best

[pawel7777]

A quick note to those who think Leverkusen still have a realistic chance of defending their title.
Even if Leverkusen were to win ALL of their remaining games (which won't happen) it would still not be enough if Bayern remains consistent in their performance. We are more than halfway through the season (62%), there are only 13 rounds left. So far, Bayern has lost only 9 points - at the same level of performance, they would lose less than 6 points by the end of the season, so less than the 8-point gap.

So not only Leverkusen would have to excel to the highest level, they would also have to hope for Bayer to decline.

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.

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.

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.
They will really put bigger effort to this game if not it won’t be an easy task at all. And Celtics on the other hand are really strong and very talented to make use of any slight mistakes and turn it to opportunities.

They have played against Celtic. They won the match with 2 goals. It was interesting that Celtic could play quite well. They scored 1 goal, so the aggregate is only 2-1. With this narrow aggregate, Bayern Munich can't underestimate them in Leg 2. It is because Celtic still has a chance to qualify for the next round if they could beat Bayern Munich in the next Leg. Bayern Munich must play with a serious tactic for the next Leg.

Bayern Munich can take home victory in this match after beating Celtic with a narrow score of 2-1. This is very valuable capital for them to undergo the second leg later at their own headquarters.

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.

Bayern munich really pushes their way to take the victory home, a superb performance from both teams but unfortunately the result speaks. Celtics do play well their performances wasn’t bad at all and moreover this was their first defeat at home.
  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.

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.

[pawel7777]

Leverkusen Vs Bayern is obviously the biggest game this weekend. Leverkusen absolutely have to win it if they are serious about defending their championship. But even then they would be 5 points behind which is still a big gap considering Bayern rarely lose points this season.
Odds are as follows:
Lverkusen: x2.90
Draw: x4.00
Bayern: x2.20

What's interesting is the head-to-head stats. In the last 5 games (all competitions) between those two teams, Bayern has zero wins, Leverkusen won three times and there were two draws.
I think we might see a split of points on Saturday.

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.
