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.

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.
I do not think we should actually reach to the conclusion that Leverkusen is going to start declining in terms of performance already just because of a draw. I think they are still capable of winning consistently.
Yes maybe it is not going to be easy. But let's be honest, nothing good is easy in life. You know the difference between them and Bayern Munich right now is very minimal. But they will have to work really hard to actually keep that lead alive. Otherwise they are going to face problems because if Bayern Munich starts to perform consistently once, it will be hard for any team in the bundesliga to stop them.
