With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Xabi Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Thomas Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is.
The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich. The two sides are currently in thesame range and tempo and assuredly, the next few weeks would be heated up for the Bundesliga as both teams would take every game extremely serious.Tuchel has to regain Munich's pride, there's chance for him to do so, he just needs extra effort while hoping on a little of Leverkusen's back slide.
Personally, I see that next week it will be easy for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich to win, because looking at the opponents they face, it is relatively easy. Monchengladbach could be said to have been lucky yesterday because they survived the Leverkusen massacre, I'm not sure they will be lucky again to get a point when they face Bayern Munich next week. If the scenario goes according to predictions, then the standings position next week will not change, where the difference in points will still be created between the two. Xabi Alonso will definitely emphasize his team ability to finish well and convert opportunities into goals.
Week 20 is very important for Leverkusen, because in the future they will face Bayern Munich. Victory over Darmstadt will be valuable capital to increase self confidence, because in my opinion the meeting with Bayern Munich will be decisive for the title they want to achieve. Tuchel will certainly maximize all the resources he has, to be able to continue to pressure Leverkusen and overtake them at the top of the standings. I am very curious whether Xabi will be able to bring his team unbeaten in this big match, a draw like in the first leg also sounds good.
