Bayern Munich and Leipzig have won their first two matches. They have been able to perform very well in both the matches. But I had higher expectations from Stuttgart this season. This team performed brilliantly in the last season. And Stuttgart have done their best this season to strengthen their squad. But even then this team failed to win both matches. They lost against Freiburg and shared the points with Mainz. Due to weak defense, Stuttgart lost points in both matches. But I will say that this team will make a comeback very quickly.
On the other hand, the Leverkusen team lost against Leipzig in the last match. Leverkusen suffered defeat in the Bundesliga after perhaps a year and a half. This group is also quite strong. With Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig fighting for the title this season, the season will be more competitive. Dominating the Bundesliga will be more difficult for Bayern Munich.
I think the single-handed domination of Bayern Munich in the league is long gone. It finished pretty marginally last year, and I don't think it's making a return anytime soon. Now the other clubs are much more aware, more calculative, and more determined to win the Bundesliga title.
I think Bayern had a decent start and Vincent Kompany's men would like to show that they are the best team in all of Germany, and they are not gone. I think Kompany himself was doubted a lot, and he would like to answer on all the criticisms by winning games on the pitch. I really want to see this from Bayern.
Leipzig deserves their praises for having a strong start to the season, by also taking down the mighty Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer was consistent in not losing league games until then. I think Leipzig always has a talented squad, and they deserve to win more games and challenge the title.
Stuttgart is still hopeful of being stronger this season, and I think they will. A lot of teams start the season slow, but the quality emerges and they answer strongly later. Sebastian Hoeneß will ensure that hopefully. Bundesliga this season should be great.
It is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand to dominate the Bundesliga again, Bayern Munich will face more challenges this season, because most likely the competition for the trophy will not only occur between them and Leverkusen. Leipzig surprisingly managed to break Leverkusen's unbeaten trend, this is a signal that there are other teams that also have the ability to disrupt the competition. I even hope Dortmund and Stuttgart can be directly involved in the intended competition, so that this season Bundesliga runs more competitively than previous seasons. Meanwhile, although many doubt Kompany, the fact is that the former Burnley manager has the best squad depth in the Bundesliga at this time, so that it can help make his job easier. Kompany is used to facing big teams in the Premier League, which we know is much more competitive. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to doubt Kompany when Bayern Munich plays in the Champions League, because this season is his first experience.
