In my opinion, Bayern Munich's strongest rivals at the moment are Stuttgart and also Leverkusen. To occupy first place, Bayern Munich must win the match against Freiburg, but it is likely that Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will chase each other on points to fight for first position in the Bundesliga and if Leverkusen is able to win the match against Koln, of course Leverkusen will still be in first place with points that are much higher than Bayern Munich and it will be increasingly difficult for Bayern Munich to catch up on points to occupy first place in the Bundesliga.

So far the performance of both clubs is in good condition and so far Xabi Alonso deserves appreciation because he has succeeded in improving Leverkusen performance so that they can occupy first place. We will see to what extent Xabi Alonso is able to make his men continue to appear impressive when they face matches in the Champions League which is of course increasingly difficult.

Now let's not forget about Leipzig even though they are not at the top of the standings, for sure they are a team that doesn't want to be messed around for sure and they have proven this 2 times now 1st on the DFL Supercup Leipzig have stopped Bayern Munich with winning the game dominantly, and 2nd they Draw the recent game in the Bundesliga against Bayern Munich where Harry Kane is now playing for the Bayern Munich team,

Stuttgart huh??? Wow!
Just because they had a good start it doesn't mean they are a rival. They are not even close to being that.
At the end of the season they can be happy to land in the top 8, even that seems unlikely to me.

Dortmund slowly has to get their shit together and get 1 convincing win. Even in the last 2 wins in the league they looked bad, but all that counts are the points.

Maybe tonight they can make a step in the right direction with a first real signature win? We have seen magical champions league evenings in Dortmund go down, hopefully today will be one as well and they can finally turn around this weak start of a season.

Sure Milan is an obstacle but the Italian league is not as good as in the past, so they don't need to be afraid. This is almost a do or die for Dortmund, lose and going to the next round is almost out of reach. 3 points are so important in this one, hopefully they don't blow it.

For sure,
