This is quite reasonable and could happen because the difference in points between Mainz and the two clubs above them is only 2 points. It remains to be seen how their matches will turn out in the future. However, Mainz will face Leverkusen in the next 2 matches, so this will be a pretty tight challenge later on. But once again. nothing is impossible, because both Frankfurt and Leipzig are also experiencing a decline in performance and they are not that consistent so far. So, Mainz must try their best to be able to take over their position. This will be much more interesting.
For the time being, we will take a break from the Bundesliga until the new year 2025. And what is interesting is that the first match in the new year 2025 is a big match between Dortmund vs Leverkusen.
Source: Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayer LeverkusenLook at the statistical difference in the results of the match between the two, Leverkusen is much more consistent in winning than Dortmund. But for the results in this match? Not yet certain.
After a not very successful start to the season, Bayer seems to have improved their game and they are close enough to Bayern to within 4 points. After the holidays, they have a very difficult match with Dortmund and I think that they can lose points in this match. Although Dortmund is not doing well this season, they are a strong enough team and they can take points from Bayer, they can even spoil their winning streak and beat them. After Bayern lost to Mainz, Bayer's chances have increased to defend their championship title.
This is the most crucial match for both teams, because both teams are currently maintaining their positive trend and do not want to lose any more points after starting the season poorly. For Leverkusen, this victory certainly wants to maintain the distance with Bayern Munich who are in first place because they are currently only 4 points behind. While Dortmund certainly do not want to continue to be outside the UCL zone, they certainly want to take advantage of this match to be able to enter the top four.
Dortmund is advantaged in this match because they are playing in front of their own supporters and so far we know that Dortmund supporters are always enthusiastic to give support to their favorite team, this support certainly gives extra strength to Dortmund. Leverkusen is currently also in their best form after winning big last week of course they have high self-confidence. So I think this match will be difficult to predict, what is certain is that both teams will score goals and this match will be fierce.
