For now I can only see Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen as the only contenders for the title this season. It's quite unfortunate that Borussia Dortmund have really fallen from where they used to be years ago. Had it been that Borussia Dortmund were still as strong as they used to be the Bundesliga would have been more and more interesting because more competition for the league is what we would have seen. But it's still good that at least there is a team that's actually giving Bayern Munich restless night. What's interesting to me now is that Kompany has risen to the occasion and is doing everything possible to keep Bayern Munich at the top. When he was appointed many really thought that it will take him a season or two to adapt, but that has not been the case as he has blended immediately and making the league more interesting to watch.
I agree with you this season Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are top teams competing for Bundesliga title. It is sad that Borussia Dortmund is not as strong as they used to be. But Leverkusen has improved greatly under their new coach Xabi Kompany. He has done great job making Leverkusen real challenger to Bayern. This makes league more exciting to watch. Hopefully Dortmund will bounce back and make competition even stronger.
Right, it means this is the season we have been waiting for where the competition in the top four of the standings will definitely be very tight, and then we will see the two big teams compete, honestly I can't be sure who will go home with full points, but if we look at the other side of the match then Bayern Munich has a big chance to win because they will play at home against Leverkusen next Saturday.
Their points difference is quite thin which means of course there is no reason for Kompany to make the slightest mistake which will be even more painful if they are embarrassed at home.
Regarding Dortmund, of course that is quite unfortunate, but in any case it is the result of their own habit of always selling their star players, now they are in 7th position in the standings, experiencing a 1-5 defeat to VfB is very painful, but I am sure in the next match Dortmund will win against Bochum.
