That will definitely be Leverkusen's next target against Bayern Munich and in fact they know that winning against Bayern Munich is quite difficult. The first meeting against Bayern Munich only ended in a draw and it is possible that in this second meeting the result will still be the same. But it is quite worrying if Bayern Munich wins and at that time Leverkusen will start to be overtaken.
The match Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich will be in February 11, 2024. Xabi Alonso must know well that it will be a tight match. However, this time Leverkusen will get the advantage to play at home. If they can get a draw in the first meeting in Bayern Munich home, Leverkusen has a higher chance to win in this meeting because of playing at home. The problem of Leverkusen is their main striker (Victor Boniface) gets injured. But they have an alternative for the striker (Patrik Schick). If Patrik Schick can play well, I'm sure Leverkusen to have a chance winning the match.
Leverkusen mustn't let Bayern Munich to win the match. We shouldn't doubt Leverkusen defense, they look strong enough. What we must feel a bit worried is the attackers of Leverkusen.
For the striker problem, it looks like Shick will still be an option but on the other hand there is actually still the name Iglesias who could have started, because if you look at the previous match Bayern did the same thing by entrusting the attack line to Iglesias.
But on the other hand, for the problem of strikers, the Leverkusen attackers still cannot play well because good performance is currently more dominated by the midfielders they have.
Before the match against Bayern next week in La Liga they still have to face VFB in the DFB quarter-finals.
This is also an important match I think for Leverkusen because after all when they are already in the quarter-finals especially by looking at the remaining opponents at this time they are still quite a favorite also to get the trophy even though in the quarter-finals this time they will be tested by VFB who gave an extraordinary surprise this season.
