Xabi Alonso has fully prepared his squad to face the tight competition this season, playing in several different competitions will require him to pay more attention to the depth of his squad and also the physicality of the players. Leverkusen managed to finish the match with a win despite experiencing difficulties at Borussia Monchengladbach's headquarters, the mentality of the Leverkusen players was still the same as last season, continuing to fight until the last minute to achieve victory.

And we will see that again when Bayer Leverkusen hosts RB Leipzig today in a home match because Leipzig is also a team that is so troublesome for several other big teams so Bayer Leverkusen will also play as well as possible at home today. I also have no doubts about the preparations that Xabi Alonso has made for this season, not only in the Bundesliga, but also for the UCL competition this season because the depth of the squad owned by Leverkusen is still very good and also still very capable this season.

The two teams that last season gave us a surprise will meet each other today to try to get 3 points in the second week of this season, Leverkusen last season became an unbeaten team in the domestic league even to this day they still hold an unbeaten record, while Leipzig who usually always end the season in the top 4 zone are still able to maintain their consistency today, The two teams previously managed to win 3 points in their first match and I think it will be a real test of how both teams can maintain their current position in the Bundesliga standings, even though Leverkusen is the favorite in that the match but I think Alonso needs to remain aware of Leipzig game which is quite collective and of course Leipzig will also put strong pressure on leverkusen defense later.
Last season the two matches they played in the league were won by Leverkusen with the same score of 3-2, so this shows how Leipzig is a team that is indeed not worthy of being underestimated by Leverkusen at this time.
