The pressure in the German League is getting even more intense, the struggle for survival is on and no team are ready to take chances. The season has not completely gone half yet but the tempo is high, likely to get even higher by the second half of it. Yesterday's games say some victories and changes on the table.
For the sole competitors for the trophy, they're facing Dortmund who's also a good side and a big threat to teams. The game won't be a joke for either sides. The struggle will be high. Leverkusen are host and they won't want to welcome a loss to a visitor which will in turn jeopardize their chances of remaining at the top.
Xabi Alonso is fit for the task ahead and it's possible that he'd overcome the challenges. The obstacles from teams as the season progresses are inevitable and everyone should brace up. It's good that the two sides are in their top form so it's safe to conclude that today's faceoff will be competitive and we hope to see both sides net goals to each other. Either one team takes all or the points are shared equally.
And as I have explained in the post above, especially the prediction that if the result of this match ends with a minor result, it will be an unpleasant thing for Xabi Alonso.
In the Leverkusen vs Dortmund match, I watched this match in the second half, but I didn't forget to see the first goal scored by Dortmund. After Dortmund took the lead in the 5th minute, Leverkusen immediately took the initiative to play aggressively. especially in the second half, because in this phase I watched the match until the end. a little thrilling and increased my adrenaline because there were lots of opportunities that Leverkusen had, even Xabi Alonso's squad really locked up the Borussia Dortmund players. There were opportunities they had, unfortunately none of them were able to execute well and become goals.
Before this post, I said that I would risk betting on Dortmund. Unfortunately, Edin Terzic's squad was unable to hold on to their lead until in the 79th minute Okoh Boniface received a pass which was easy for him to convert into a goal. Until the whistle of the match ended, neither team scored any more goals and the score ended 1-1. too bad, I almost got it with @4.80. But, I am satisfied with this match, especially Leverkusen's performance.
Well, this result provides an opportunity for Bayern to equalize Leverkusen's points, or shift the standings in the following weeks. In essence, Bayern has one game postponed and they can take advantage of it later. We'll see, Leverkusen will play in the next match. Next week, they will play an away match at Stuttgart headquarters. If the results are minor again, it means that Bayern are ready to shift their ranking at the top of the standings. But in fact, the competition for the Bundesliga trophy so far is still very exciting for us to enjoy. Let's just go with it, after all the Bundesliga still has a long game left until the end of the season.
