This is football and things can change very fast. The point difference is not much between Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Bayern Leverkusen has lost Bofiface to the Nigerian national team for the Afcon tournament and if they are not prepared go cover for his absent it might really affect them since he has been scoring lots of goals for them. I just hope his absence won't cost them the too spot in the league table.
The point gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich isn't a news again about how narrow it currently is so definitely even Leverkusen is very much aware of the risk ahead if they are not able to secure some good wins to further broaden the point difference between both teams in the Bundesliga this season.
There's one thing I really observed about the Leverkusen team this year, they are not dependent on any particular player for their success so it's more like the presence of any player will only be an added advantage but then it will never be that the absence of a player will cost them an entire match probably. Leverkusen loosing one of their players to the AFCON wouldn't be much of a challenge even though he has been a great contributors to the numbers of goals they get in a match, but then I don't want to believe Leverkusen will loose their form due to the absence of these players.
