Bayern Munich are faced with much tighter competition this season so they must try to show consistency in every match and maybe that's the reason why Kompany did not try to rotate in friendly matches so they could find the right strategy format for the team. Injuries were a consideration but that has passed and Bayern Munich players are fine after the match ended. This season is not so easy for Bayern Munich because Leverkusen itself will try to defend the trophy so they will try to play more consistently. Keeping players fit is very important and it is probably true as you say because Kompany must be able to use young players or reserves as a way to maximize their strengths.
Bayern Munich is performing well in their league competition, and with how they are doing in the Bundesliga, I am sure they will definitely be the winner of the Bundesliga title this season. Their match against Mainz made Leverkusen get closer to them in the league table, and they need to do everything possible to be stronger than before because if they fail to defeat Monchengladbach this weekend and Leverkusen get there chance and achieve three point against Dortmund, definitely that will be a tough competition more because xabi Alonso will do anything possible to stop losing and overtake Munich in the league table, because with how Munich are doing this season, they are not perfect well they can probably lose point in the league. Let see how Kompany will do this season if he can achieve the title since they have get enough rest in the Christmas break so am sure all the players will be in there fitness now to get the opportunity to win trophies.
Dortmund will try their best not to lose in their home game today, while Leverkusen will use any strategy to get full points at Dortmund's home today. So this match is indeed difficult to predict because both teams will play better not to lose and that will cause the match to be more intense. But I hope Leverkusen can do their best so that the team can catch up with Munich's points at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
This will be the tough game this week in the Bundesliga competition, no club will gree to lose any point tonight. Dortmund have not been performing very well in the league but performing better in the ucl, Leverkusen are doing well in both competitions, but Dortmund usually do well when facing Leverkusen because their last season meeting they both draw home and away and Dortmund qualify to the ucl final but probably fail to achieve the trophy, let see what this season will be. In my perspective, this game can be both teams scoring or Leverkusen winning or drawing because I don't really think that Dortmund can achieve three point against leverkusen because they are not performing like Leverkusen this season. let see how the games will end this night. If they probably draw the game that will be advantage for bayern Munich to defeat Monchengladbach and give them more gaps in the league table.
