In fact, it is very difficult to maintain what was achieved last season, now Leverkusen has lost 13 points since the start of the season with details of 5 draw and 1 loss. But so far they remain a threat to Munich who are trying to win back the Bundesliga trophy. I admit, Leverkusen's performance is not too bad, they are only 4 points behind Munich who are in first place. This competition will make the League more competitive, every match must be considered important because if Leverkusen loses points it will make the difference between the two even bigger.
IMO, Leverkusen's performance this season is not as impressive as last season. If we review their performance throughout the Bundesliga, they are a bit weak in defense. We can see that they conceded quite a lot of goals, but at the same time they were also productive in scoring goals. They had difficulty entering the top four of the Bundesliga table, but in the end Alonso was able to bring his team to 2nd place in the standings, 5 points ahead of Frankfurt and Leipzig who are below them, 4 points behind Bayern Munich at the top. At least, the points difference between the first and second places is not far apart, while the third and fourth are close to the second place. So, we can see that there will be tight competition before they return to compete in the Bundesliga. Well, the next match will not be easy for Leverkusen, they will travel to Signal Induna Park, the headquarters of Burussia Dortmund. If Bayer Leverkusen fails to get full points, then Munich has the opportunity to widen the points gap and secure their position at the top of the German League table.
