This season's journey is still very long, we can't judge anything for that even though Leverkusen started this season a little badly but it is already visible that Xabi Alonso has slowly started to make Leverkusen's performance better now which means they are more ready to compete with Bayern Munich and even last week Leverkusen managed to eliminate Bayern Munich in the DFB pokal competition.
Bayern Munich does have a better performance this season compared to last season but it will not be easy for them to win the Bundesliga title this season, in terms of percentage I think they still have the same percentage as Leverkusen.
So this will be a fierce competition between the two.
With Leverkusen's improving performance, it will provide quite good resistance in the competition even though they are currently still in third place in the standings. There are seven points left from Bayern Munich so Leverkusen must ensure they get a win in every match and hope Bayern Munich will get less than satisfactory results in the next match, although it looks difficult but there is still a chance because the league is still quite long that must be passed by the team. But if you look at Bayern Munich's current performance, they appear so dominant and it feels a little more difficult for other teams to catch up with their dominance this season.
Although in the DFB Pokal Leverkusen managed to beat Bayern Munich, but if you look at the competition in the Bundesliga by relying on collecting points, it will be a little difficult for other teams to catch up with Bayern Munich's dominance at this time.
