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.
If we look at the statistics of the match, we can all see how Leverkusen was crushed. Leverkusen had only three shots in 90 minutes and scored one goal. If we look at the ball possession rate, they only had a ball possession rate of 30%, which is usually seen in second-class teams. I expected them to compete head-to-head with Bayern Munich. This match showed that Bayer Leverkusen will not be the champion this year. Bayern Munich will not leave any team alone on the way to the championship with this game. In fact, I think Bayern Munich will declare its championship a few weeks before the end of the league.
