Bayern Leverkusen had a draw in their last game with Bayern Munich having a narrow win against Augsburg, it would reduce the point difference. Bayern Munich are really catching up and it would be a disaster if the league leaders (Bayern Leverkusen) drop out in this title race because many football lovers have tipped them (Bayern Leverkusen) to win the league this season.
Is just two points that's separating both teams and I feel the pressure is going to be on Leverkusen, they're now going to be in a hurry to first get a goal to win any of their games and their style of play might change. I just hope Alonso will be calm and also tell the to play as if they have no one coming to over take them in the league table and if they do so I think they're certain of 3pts in every game, the absence of Victor Boniface is also affecting them.
A two point lead over Bayern Munich is very unsafe for Bayer Leverkusen because the two teams will meet in Week 21 on 11 February. The only problem Bayer Leverkusen faced when facing Borussia Monchengladbach was their lack of clinical skills in completing opportunities, of course this problem is a weakness that must be resolved before they face Bayern Munich at BayArena.
Bayern Munich are very enthusiastic after they are only two points behind Leverkusen, the burning enthusiasm will certainly give a different feel when these two teams face each other. Tuchel is very enthusiastic about his team's current performance, while Xabi Alonso must find solutions to increase the use of opportunities.
The coach's ingenuity will be tested in this big match, whoever wins this match will be the leader of the standings.
Bayer Leverkusen have undoubtedly been the best team in the German Bundesliga since the start of the season and still looks very much strong to still finish the season as the winners if the German Bundesliga title even when their top scorer this season Victor Boniface have been out injured.
However we must not forget that their rivals Bayern Munich is also the strongest team in the German league in terms of quality of players and now that the top two sides in the German Bundesliga standings are separated by just two points, I think Xabi Alonso's men have got something to worry about on that one. In the last 11 seasons in the German league, Bayern Munich have dominated the league and considering that they have a lethal striker like Harry Kane who's never won a trophy as player, Bayern Munich are still trying to make sure they finish the season with the league title. So for Leverkusen to lay their hands in the German Bundesliga trophy at the end of the season, they really need to be at their best till the end of the season
