This season Leverkusen failed to maintain their performance and consistency , although they have a strong squad with the majority of last season players, the match later become opportunity for them to cut the gap with Munich, although actually Frankfurt is also not an opponent that will be easy to face.
Bundesliga have long break for upcoming match due Christmas day and all teams have opportunity get recovery back their teams and prepare for recruiting new players, games week 15 will begin middle week next months and all teams can focus for signing new players when January window transfer opening, Bayern looks need new forward how to anticipation when Harry Kane absent.
The 4 point gap from Bayern Munich with both having played 14 matches is still very possible for Leverkusen to narrow the gap. Although not dominating like last season, I think Leverkusen still has a serious threat. On the other hand Bayern Munich in the 15th week against Leipzig and Leverkusen against Feirburg, so it is considered quite fair with a fairly tough opponent. Maybe the difference is that Bayern Munich without Kane will have difficulties, while Leverkusen advantage is that they do not depend on 1 player, so they are more stable in attacking from any direction.
