Although Bayer Leverkusen has been leading this season, I can't say or believe that they will win the league. Everyone wants to see a team surpass Bayern Munich's records, which have stood for more than ten years, but it's very difficult to do. As you mentioned, Dortmund tried to do this in their final game of the previous season, but Munich ultimately came up and won the league. Even though Stuttgart is already in the top 2, their performances this season have really taken me by surprise, it will be difficult to predict for the time being whether Leverkusen will stay at the top to win the league. Leverkusen is currently leading Bayern Munich by just two points, and while I do not believe that Leverkusen will be able to win every game they play until the end of the season, I am still unsure that Bayern Munich will win the league at any point this season. They are not as weak as people may perceive them to be based on their performances.
I am one of those fans wishing badly for a new champion this season aside Bayern Munich, they have dominated the league for more than a decade winning every single league title and making the other clubs looking mediocre. Last season Dortmund were just 90 minutes away from ending that dominance and just like the other past seasons they fell off. So for this reason I wouldn’t be banking on Dortmund this season but rooting for Bayer Leverkusen.
Why I feel they have all it takes to win the league is that, Bayern aren’t dominating and terrifying as they used to be since last season even though they added some great players to the squad. They are still lacking that playing pattern and it seems Tuchel isn’t get it out from them. Bayer Leverkusen under management of Alonso since arrival in the second half of last season have shown that they can go head to head with just anybody and the acquisition of new players have proven that more this season so I hope they will scoop this tittle
