The Bundesliga is a difficult competition, and only the best players are nominated for prestigious honors. Stuttgart stunned everyone this season by competing at a high level against great clubs, making remarkable starts, as well as presently setting second in the Bundesliga table. Serhou Yadaly Guirassy is Stuttgart's leading goal scorer this season, with an exceptional performance in league games. He's present to deliver the team in crucial moments, he's the most valuable player in the team. Stuttgart can move to good position this season only if they maintain consistent form.
I also see Stuttgart as a very unexpected surprise this season, because usually Stuttgart doesn't get quite as extraordinary a performance as this season. I also think that Stuttgart can fight other great teams if Stuttgart continues to be consistent in maintaining their performance until the end of the season. Because when there is one player that Stuttgart can rely on and that player can be fit enough until the end of the season, Stuttgart may be able to maintain its current position until the end of the season.
Stuttgart is doing it more than everybody expected. It is really hard to believe that Stuttgart will be in such great form like this because of how poorly they performed last season. It was noticed that Stuttgart really struggled a lot last season; it was even a narrow escape they got from relegation last season. It is toward the end of the season that Stuttgart later became serious. I am very surprised by Stuttgart's current performance because I never expected such a performance from them because of the set of players they are keeping in the squad and I don't think I can find world-class players in their squad. I can't predict much about them, but with this great start, I will say they will have a comfortable position on the table this season.
Well so far Leverkusen is improving and with how they're going they may likely be the team that would stop Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga over the years, though it's not going to be easy winning a team that's dominated for decades, Dortmund tried and almost got it but failed let's see if Leverkusen would.
Bayer Leverkusen's recent performances have truly impressed me, and I hope they can continue. As you indicated, if Leverkussen can maintain this excellent run, they may win the league, but it is still too early to offer them that hope as there have only been a few games played. Due to the unreliability of the performances of many middling clubs, let's just wait and see what happens in the first half of the season. It may be a major issue if one of their main players suffers an injury like this because many ordinary teams find it difficult to replace many of its important players.
