This season, only Bayern Leverkusen is able to compete with Bayern Munich's dominance and even then, Bayern Leverkusen is still 8 points behind Bayern Munich. Several teams that were able to perform well at the beginning of the season or the previous season have lost their consistency and are even unable to compete at the top of the standings. Likewise, what happened to Eintracht Frankfurt, indeed when compared to the previous season, Frankfurt was able to perform well, but the team that was previously thought to be able to block Bayern Munich's dominance, is currently also losing its consistency.
11 games left to go and they're 8 points behind which isn't that much but is Bayern Munich going to lose that's going to be the challenge and if Bayern Leverkusen wants to keep fighting until the last few games of the season then they'll have to not lose any game as well and hope that some clubs that Bayern Munich will be playing will give them a hard time that if they don't win then they'll draw. What's causing Bayern Leverkusen to be 8 points behind is the number of draws they are getting recently. Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen has lost the same number games which is just one therefore both clubs can fight until the last few games of the season.
