i have to say that I expected some more resistance from Leverkusen. Now I still went with a draw in the German Bundesliga prediction pool, but to be honest Leverkusen didn't deserve it. It was such a one-sided game. The passes completed. Sure against Bayern in the Allianz Arena, you can never expect to be on eye-level with them in terms of ball possession, but this is quite a bit too passive for Leverkusen. I know that they prefer to play counter attacks in these games against teams that love ball possession, but they are still Leverkusen and can maintain the ball within their own lines and play smart passes between the lines. This looks more like they used any opportunity to hoof the ball out of their own half of the pitch. That's very uncommon for them and they can be pretty happy about that one point.
Bayer Leverkusen last season was undoubtedly the best team in the German Bundesliga but considering how improved Bayern Munich have been since the start of the new season, I wasn't expecting Xabi Alonso's men to get a result against the current league leaders but the reigning champions was able to defile all odds by delivering a resisting performance that saw them leave Allianz Arena with a draw. For anyone who's actually written off Bayer Leverkusen from retaining the league title this season, I think this result will give them a reason to reevaluate.
