Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will still be the favorites to win the title this season and I even think the competition this season will be much fiercer because Bayern Munich made many changes in the team.
And overall the competition in the Bundesliga has been quite fierce in the last few seasons we can see that the Bundesliga is getting more competitive.
Yes, most likely they will be able to, Stuttgart let go of many important players for the team and now I doubt that they will be able to stay at the top of the standings again. We will soon see what they are capable of in the match for the Super Cup with Bayer, by the way, bookmakers offer a odds 1.88 for Bayer to win, which looks pretty good.
And considering that Stuttgart will most likely be uncompetitive in the new season, Dortmund will have three main competitors left, Bayern, Bayer and Leipzig, so yes, they will be in the top 4. But that is not what is interesting, but what Bayern will be like.
VfB Stuttgart seems to be having a hard time consistently competing in the top standings. Meanwhile the competition between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will continue next season, because for Bayern Munich, winning the trophy is a must to restore its existence. And Dortmund is between the two clubs that can take advantage of the opportunity to overtake at any time without having to follow the competition between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. For position 4, I definitely agree to keep RB Leipzig as a worthy club. So for Stuttgart it will not be easy to break into the top.
