The situation might be a little different because they just had a change of coach and some talented players moved to other clubs. Dortmund have to start from scratch this season because the players have to adapt again to the new coach and some of the newly brought in players also need time to adapt to the new atmosphere around them. The increasing competition in the Bundesliga will make it difficult for Dortmund to compete in the top four, Leverkusen is still a candidate for the title this season after achieving great success last season.
Bayern Munich are also starting to build their squad after a less than impressive performance under Tuchel, Stuttgart will also try to provide competition after finishing below Leverkusen last season. The competition in the Bundesliga is getting more interesting after Bayern Munich dominance was broken, now there will be other teams who want to follow in the footsteps of Leverkusen who have just won the Bundesliga. In my opinion, Dortmund still has the capacity to enter the top four, but the chances are very small.

It will not be too difficult for Dortmund to be able to enter the top 4, as it has happened since the past that this team is consistent enough to stay in the top board but they are not competing for the title.
Indeed Dortmund with their new coach will have a little difficulty but I don't think it's excessive.
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.

I agree with you that it won't be difficult for Dortmund to stay in the top four of the table and qualify for the Champions League. However, this team does not seem to be able to compete for the title. Moreover, Stuttgart performed well last season. Indeed, the team will be looking to finish in the top four of the table to qualify for the Champions League again.
Undoubtedly, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will fight for the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich team is not stable now. With the help of new coach Vincent Kompany, Munich's performance is still not stable. On the other hand, yesterday we saw the Leverkusen team lose by a huge margin of 4-1 in a friendly match against Arsenal. Xabi Alonso will now have to step up to strengthen Leverkusen's defence.

Leverkusen is still in a strong form when it comes to Bundesliga, don't forget that it is only a friendly match and Arsenal is an English team. Xabi Alonso knows that challenge ahead of him next season because his men will also be playing in the Champions League which will make him come up with additional tactics to improve the team.
Bayern Munich are the favorite because they have dominated the league for so long and most people still believe in them because their players are strong but what they need is a good coach that will help them achieve constant victory like before. I hope Kompany can do that for them.

Maybe the Leverkusen team is still strong enough. But we don't see much good performance from Leverkusen players in friendly matches. But friendly matches are not that important. In these matches, the coach finds the weakness of his squad.

Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is an excellent coach. And he is very hardworking. There is no doubt that Leverkusen won the title last season thanks to Alonso's hard work. So we should have confidence in Alonso's ability for next season as well. It is expected that the Leverkusen team will aim to win the title next season as well. And it is with this in mind that Alonso is building his squad. Bayern Munich will go on to dominate the Bundesliga. But Xabi Alonso will not let the road to the title be easy for Bayern Munich.
