That's right, Leverkusen journey ahead is a little more difficult than Bayern Munich, because Xabi Alonso squad must travel to Dortmund headquarters. A match that I think will clearly be troublesome for both teams, and may end in a draw so that Bayern Munich will benefit indirectly. But all of that is only an initial assumption, and the scenario we predict could go wrong. The tight competition to finish in the top 8 of the Champions League standings may affect their performance at the domestic level, what is clear is that Bayern Munich must increase their awareness of the pressure given by Leverkusen in the future.

However I don't see it being a big problem for Leverkusen even though facing Dortmund will put a little more pressure on them and I'm sure Xabi Alonso understands the team's need to beat them. A draw would be much better even though it would benefit Bayern Munich because then Leverkusen could continue to approach Bayern Munich's points. Bayern Munich must indeed be wary of Leverkusen because their spirit is still quite strong as a candidate for the previous season's champion and they will certainly try to defend the title by any means and this will give Leverkusen a little confidence.
