Do any of you think that Leverkusen should have done better in the last match against Stuttgart?
~~ Snip ~~
Your belief may also be correct, but by seeing Bayern Munich lose a lot at home to Frankfurt, this also gives another indication for both of them because in fact these two teams really need to have a greater level of consistency. Stuttgart is not a bad team this season, neither is Leipzig, both of which in general can still be a threat to Leverkusen and Bayern Munich this season, because the Bundesliga is now starting to look fierce again at its level of competition. So there are no easy words for any team other than being able to be consistent until the end of the season.
Leverkusen has given Bayern Munich the opportunity to occupy first place when Leverkusen experienced a draw with Dortmund but in fact Bayern Munich did not take advantage of the opportunity well so they suffered a crushing defeat against Frankfurt even though it was a good opportunity for Bayern Munich to return to the top position with only a goal difference but In the end, Leverkusen has still been at the top for quite a long time and has now widened the point gap with Bayern Munich, but Bayern Munich still has 1 match postponed and they dont know when it will be held. IMO this season will be a competitive match unlike before which was only dominated by Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Leipzig, currently Leverkusen is trying to break the dominance of these three elite clubs.
It is true that the competition created at this time is what attracts our attention, Bayern is being pressured by several teams at once in continuing its dominance in the Bundesliga. Laverkusen is the toughest challenger in this case, followed by Stuttgart and Leipzig, while Dortmund have been struggling this season, they couldn't put up a fight against Bayern by losing badly yesterday.
The top position of the standings occupied by Laverkusen is not completely comfortable because Bayern will continue to overshadow them. I think there will be more times to overtake each other positions in the future, especially if Xabi Alonso squad plays a lot of draws. On the other hand, even though Tuchel's squad has a busy match schedule, it is familiar to them and they have often overcome this challenge every season.
Laverkusen chances of winning a trophy at the end of the season are increasing, especially if Bayern suffers another defeat that shocks us all. However, when Bayern stumbles, they should be able to make good use of it to create a point difference, by avoiding a draw and securing full points.
