Seeing Leverkusen fail to secure a win against Gladbach is actually starting to indicate a decline in their level of goal productivity and it is quite worrying if next week they still fail to win. Bayern Munich seems to have received advice to win the Bundesliga again if the best scenario is through less than optimal results achieved by Leverkusen. We definitely remember last season where Bayern Munich got lucky when Dortmund was almost certain to win the title and what I'm afraid of is if this season happens again and Leverkusen becomes a stepping stone for Bayern Munich to lift the title.
The decline in Bayer Leverkusen's goal productivity began to appear when they managed to achieve a dramatic victory at Augsburg headquarters, they were only able to score one goal in that match and Leverkusen achieved success when the match was almost over. After that, Leverkusen played another Big Match, they were forced to use all their energy to face RB Leipzig's very disciplined game, a dramatic comeback was achieved in that match.
Now Leverkusen is starting to run out of gas, even though they are playing at their own base, they are unable to secure full points. Borussia Moenchengladbach disciplined play made Leverkusen's attack line dull, not a single goal was scored in this match which made Leverkusen lose two important points. This draw was very detrimental to Leverkusen, now they are only two points ahead of their closest competitor who is in second place.
The next match must be used to keep its position safe, Darmstadt is not an opponent that is difficult to beat, Leverkusen must exploit its opponent's weaknesses to get full points.
