If Leverkusen can play their best performance in every match the way they have done so far, then they might be able to compete with Bayern Munich. Leverkusen will face Bochum in their next match and we can say for sure that Leverkusen will win easily in this match. And if they can collect three points by winning this match, then they will be able to get close to Bayern Munich in the points table. Moreover, since Bayern Munich is currently in the first position of the points table with 62 points, and Leverkusen has 56 points, there is only a six-point gap between the two teams at the moment. If Leverkusen wins the next match, there will be a 3-point gap, and there may be a more exciting fight in the Bundesliga from next week.
I don’t think we can say they actually played well in my opinion because they wouldn’t be needing die minutes goals to actually win games like this, for me they struggled in the game like they have done all season so far, they could’ve won without going through all those stress. For me they need to up their game and since they are out of every cup with only the Bundesliga left they can as well push further to overtake Bayern Munich.
Bochum isn’t a top club in the league but we all can see that they have actually been good against top oppositions, if I can recall they took points off Bayern Munich and if Leverkusen do not also sit up they can pull off such surprises again. Six points off Bayern Munich might be looking small but a team of the record champions caliber can definitely withstand such pressure till the end, the more pressing question should even be can Bayer Leverkusen continue to win till the end of the season?
