There is no doubt that the squad built by Xabi Alonso has a very big winning mentality because there are already 3 equally strong teams that they have managed to hold to a draw and the latest is Stuttgart. It certainly wasn't easy with this team's tight pressure and even though they often conceded first, they always ended the match without regrets.

A draw is not a bad result, especially against competitors in the title race and I think Leverkusen are very good and just need to find more points against a team they should be able to beat easily. As long as Leverkusen can maintain its top position, it is clear that Bayern Munich will not be able to catch it this season.

But this is again what we have seen in many of the seasons when Bayern Munich won the title. Bayern loses a game and at the same time their strongest competitors struggle as well. This keeps the advantage at a minimum for Leverkusen and they could have four more points out of those last two games, which I think is again only helping Bayern. It could look much worse for Bayern, but the timing of those other teams to struggle as well is remarkably stupid.

I know what you mean and indeed I don't doubt that fact, but isn't there a time when this prediction can be broken even though it is quite difficult, right?
It's true that a draw like that would help Bayern Munich and the distance wouldn't widen that far, but why when they had the opportunity to shorten the distance again, Bayern Munich actually lost badly yesterday against Frankfurt, which clearly had an inconsistent performance. Bayern Munich should have won yesterday and the statistics are still superior to Bayern Munich and again, whose fault is this. I don't want to involve Tuchel too much, but he is the only one who is most responsible for Bayern Munich's situation this season.

The problem is that Bayern Munich can afford to lose a game like that and usually they never lose games like that a few times a season. It did happen in the past, but it usually was like a wake up call for them and if then their strongest competitors don't win the games when Bayern Munich struggles, they find themselves in a situation that could be much worse but can still be fixed. See how Dortmund did last season and how they wasted the title when they tied games against teams from the lower half of the table. In the end it can be one or two points and that is when Bayern will be there and win the title despite losing a game against Frankfurt conceding 5 goals.
