Honestly, this season I am speechless with Bayern's performance in the local league, especially when they were able to withstand Leverkusen's attacks in the previous match even though they had 0 shots on goal.
In the local league at the moment Bayern's toughest enemy is Leverkusen, when they managed to hold Leverkusen to a draw then there are no more obstacles for Bayern to stay at the top, on February 23rd Bayern's opponent will be Frankfurt and I dare to ensure that this match will run smoothly without any obstacles.
Bayer Leverkusen still did something extraordinary at BayArena, because the team that has a big dominance in Bundesliga could not do anything in yesterday's match. Bayern Munich only played defensively, such tactics are the same as when a mediocre team plays against the top, and Bayern Munich did tactics like a mediocre team by only focusing on defending, that's funny, I guess. Bayer Leverkusen is still unbeaten in its last six meetings against Bayern Munich, it is clearly an impressive result for Bayer Leverkusen even though this season is difficult for Bayer Leverkusen to get a trophy.
For the next match, even though Bayern Munich will play at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, with a trend like that I am sure it will still be difficult for Bayern Munich to beat Eintracht Frankfurt. At a moment like this, nothing can be underestimated at all and in fact, their first meeting this season also ended in a 3-3 draw. Although indeed, because Bayern Munich will play at home it will give Bayern Munich a good chance to win, but basically it will still not be easy.
Leverkusen has now become the toughest rival for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, where this position is usually occupied by Dortmund. Although it seems they will fail to defend the trophy, Leverkusen still deserves praise, they have made the competition for the trophy more competitive. It's impressive to see the head to head record of the two teams in their last six meetings, Leverkusen now has an advantage over Bayern Munich. Unexpectedly, Bayern Munich tried to play it safe when they visited the BayArena last week, they even performed quite poorly by not being able to make a single shot on target.
For the next match against Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Munich will most likely dare to play more aggressively, although the match seems it will still be troublesome. If it ends in a draw, it will give Leverkusen a chance to cut the point gap, because Xabi Alonso and his team will face an easier opponent, Holstein Kiel.
