Losing points early in the season will not be a problem for Leverkusen as long as the current points gap is not too far. We see that the current points gap is not too far and only enough with 2 wins and 2 losses or 2 draws from Munich, Leverkusen can shift Munich's position. However, this is not too safe and as long as Leverkusen's performance is still very consistent and also still with Alonso, I am sure Leverkusen is still a very terrible threat to Munich. I hope this competition will continue until the end of the season to provide a very interesting sensation.
Of course Leverkusen will still be a threat to Bayern Munich, because after all this team is the team that managed to make them lose the Bundesliga title for the first time after 1 decade they managed to defend it. In addition, Leverkusen also does not have many changes in the line-up and they are still with the same coach who last season led them to become champions in the Bundesliga. That means Leverkusen still has the strength and capital to do the same thing, even though at the beginning they slipped, but it was not a big problem because they were able to return to their proper performance.
So far we have seen dortmund as the biggest challenger and rival from munchen in the bundesliga, but the rise and ability of leverkusen last season has actually eliminated the position of dortmund as munchen's current rival, leverkusen and munich only have a difference of 4 points and Leverkusen who are ranked second certainly still have a great opportunity to continue to be a threat to munchen at the top of the table, I think their success last season showed that they have the quality and depth of a qualified squad, so with an effective strategy, of course Alonso squad still have a great chance to coup the top of the Bundesliga standings, I think with a difference of 4 points then Munich must be able to maximise every remaining match they have, because if not then Leverkusen will be able to take over the top of the standings at any time.
