I see no reason to think that Leverkusen is a weak team. Leverkusen is a renownd team in the Bundesliga. They may not play well this season, the team is not stable enough yet. Their performance is erratic. Still, their team is good enough. And they have the ability to pick up points against Bayern Munich. Also, the Bayern Munich team has been defeated by weak opponents like Augsburg in the last match. So Bayern Munich is not in a good position now. So I can't say with absolute certainty that Bayern Munich will win this match. The match is also likely to be a draw.

Well, we can say that Leverkusen might just be unlucky about certain things, but I agree they are not a bad team, but right now some teams in the upper standings are not performing well, and I think we can all agree to that but for now, I am staying away from betting on Leverkusen because they are not consistent at all, having just 1 win over the course of 7 Matchday and Union Berlin did a tremendous job than them,

No, imagine your best throw in basketball is three yards high and you have an offensive player who is tall enough to catch it and dunk it, but now the player is gone. But your quality was this perfect pass at that height.

What I am saying is that Mane and Salah exploited all the potential synergies between them, but what are you going to do if the other half of the two-pieces puzzle is missing?

It is difficult to judge and also difficult to argue that Mane should be able to adjust to another system. At times a system really works perfectly well and then the sentence "never change a running system" simply applies.

Can Mane really change his style so much that he can be as valuable for Bayern as he used to be for Liverpool? I doubt it for now. That doesn't make him a bad player at all. He is brilliant. But if you are a professional rally driver, would you still be as good in another racing discipline? I know that comparison isn't perfect. But looking back at Mane's role in Liverpool and the players he had around him and how they harmonized with each other, it doesn't seem to be the same at Bayern.

It remains to be seen whether he can find a way (and also the Bayern players can find a way) to get the best out him as a soccer player.

I get your point, but Sadio Mane is not anymore on Liverpool that is why he got to learn to find is new Salah, but Bayern Munich is making him Salah, that is why all is not working well for Bayern Munich, I think Nagelsmann need to reconsidered changing his strategy that may benefit the team,

Let me clarify, do you think Bayern won't be Bundesliga champions this year? Roll Eyes

And who do you think will be the champion? Borussia which is currently quoted as 9.65? Leipzig with odds of 28.3? Or Union Berlin with odds of 42? If you consider these estimates unfair, then you can easily "punish" bookmakers for such predictions, because bookmakers are always ready to answer for their predictions with money.

For once I really never doubted Bayern Munich but that is when they still got Robert Lewandowski, but right now is their crucial time, but you are right that is why I am highly doubted that Bayern Munich here could really lose, we are just entering Matchday 8 and it will be on October 1, so they still have plenty time and the Bundesliga is still starting,
