Well, even now it's still too early to decide on the championship but for the mid-season and the end of the season too I don't think there will be much change here as the only possible additions are Dortmund and Leipzig which every year they are always in the Champions League zone and join the competition.
Last season there were a few other clubs that could have been in the mix but for now dark horse clubs like Freiburg and Union are still underperforming so maybe they will be excluded now.
For VFB they had a great start to the season and we saw that they improved a lot this season but in the last few games we saw how they started to have problems so I would also rule them out.
It definitely too early to decide the champion, so many things have changed in this season just as if they substituted each other, take a look at union Berlin that finished last season in fourth position are now in last position when match is still in 11 game while VfB Stuttgart that were battling not to relegate are now sitting comfortably in third point living behind second runner-up of last season with two points interval and Leipzig in the fourth position have one point in between, VfB Stuttgart performance this season show how serious the want to make it to champion league next season.
Football is just so unpredictable these days; most low-level teams are now performing really well and beating those considered to be of greater quality than them. The Bundesliga has always been a thrilling competition to watch, despite the fact that the league title has always been shared by Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, with Bayern Munich winning the majority of the time since the league's inception. However, due to how competitive the league is, the teams that hold the second to fourth positions are always rotating. I believe this season we will see new clubs that will make it to the top four and qualify for the champions league next season. If most of the smaller teams showing expertise in their games are consistent till next year, they will find themselves in the next season’s champions league.
Something that cannot be predicted accurately, although there may be some indications that make some fans believe that in the future one of their favorite clubs will be able to perform better but it can always not be made fully confident, because of course the change of a team is always not fully predictable, we can see how Union Berlin is now, they are at the bottom of the table, it is very bad, even though last season they were able to impress in the competition in the top five area of the standings. Teams that were originally strong can turn out to be very weak and teams that were originally mediocre can become tough competitors in the race like Leverkusen and VfB, but yes, naturally it is a change from every team, but on the other hand I don't see that with Bayern Munich, and that's why Bayern Munich can always dominate the title at the end of the season, none other than because they are very strong in terms of performance and have very good consistency every season.
Yes this season looks more interesting than last season, there are many surprises from some newcomer teams to make the competition at the top of the table more interesting, it's good because of course I also want to see other teams involved in the end-of-season trophy hunt, not just Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
