Xabi studied what made them stumble at the start of the season and now they are back to their best form and that has brought them back to 2nd place behind Bayern Munich by just 4 points.
There is still a long way to go, the key is for them to be consistent and their meeting with Bayern Munich could be a very decisive meeting for their position. In the last few meetings, Leverkusen have had very satisfying results, including the first leg which ended in a draw. A draw is already a good result, although a win would certainly be a very good result.
Interesting, it will be tough test for Bayern Munich when Leverkusen returns to their best performance and more consistently because there is big threat to be able to win the Bundesliga trophy this season, the meeting between the two is still quite long time for us to witness and I see their schedule meeting in mid-February.
Against Dortmund next month is an away match for Leverkusen, if they can win or at least draw then clearly it is positive result because the most important thing for Leverkusen in the future is to be able to continue to get points even if it is only 1 point, so that Leverkusen remains team that continues to chase Bayern Munich and make this season full of tight competition.
