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.
But next week Bayern will also compete against the St. Pauli team, in which match the Bayern team is favored to come out as the winner and it is likely that the Bayern team will be able to get full points so that they continue to widen the gap in their points standings from the Leverkusen team, unless St. Pauli is able to hold the Bayern team to a draw, then there is a chance for the Leverkusen team to close the gap in points with the Bayern team.
We will just have to watch in next week's match how the two teams will compete to get full points because on the other hand they are also more favored when facing the St. Pauli team.
