Will Leverkusen be able to get close to Bayern Munich this season?

Actually, it is not impossible, but right now you know the difference in points is actually a little too big. They are solid eight points behind Bayern Munich right now. Having that much of a difference when your opponent is Die Roten, be a big problem because that is such a big difference which might not be closed, doesn't matter how well you play.

Another thing I have to say is that this season Kompany's side is also playing really well. At least not throwing like Thomas Tuchel did in the last season. So this good performance matched with some ‘’not so great’ performance from Die Werkself is helping them staying ahead. But I am pretty sure if Xabi Alonso's squad was able to perform like they did in the last season, they would have been able to win the Bundesliga title again.
