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.
As long as Bayern still cannot be stopped by any club in the Bundesliga, in the end the opportunity to approach will be very difficult because in the end we can see that for now Bayern can still continue to take advantage of the opportunities they have so that their points are still maintained until now because whether we realize it or not, Bayern is currently showing a very good performance, different from what happened in the 2 seasons that have occurred in the Tuchel era which always had difficulty in taking advantage of momentum.
Right now what Leverkusen has to do is just try to stay consistent while hoping that Bayern can't get points, but in the end this is also difficult, even for Frankfurt, which is currently a dark horse, they still can't hold back Bayern's dominance, so as long as Bayern can't be held back, I think they will still be champions for this season even though the game still has about 15 weeks left.
