Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Leviathan.007]

It is quite reasonable that indeed Bayern Munich can beat their opponent Union Berlin who is experiencing a decline in performance this season, but in my opinion this 1-0 result is a lucky score even though in the count of the game Bayern Munich dominated the match quite well but they did not get more goals in that match.

And vice versa where Union Berlin looked stronger even though they were pushed by Bayern Munich with extraordinary field dominance, but Union Berlin did not give Bayern Munich more goals to slaughter them, it shows that they are getting better day by day, and want to continue to escape the threat of the relegation zone.

It's not luck, but it is indeed difficult for Bayern Munich to score several goals in this match. Of the 10 shots on target, only 1 was a goal and that was enough for Bayern Munich to seal the win and get 3 points. Bayern Munich in the previous match was successfully defeated by Bremen so they were able to return to winning ways when they faced Union Berlin.

How fierce the competition is this season in the Bundesliga because Leverkusen is able to secure this season journey at the top of the standings. I think this season the Bundesliga trophy winner will belong to another team.
After several previous seasons, Bayern Munich was able to maintain its dominance, but this season it looks like another team or Leverkusen has the opportunity to break Bayern Munich's dominance.

Bayern Munich is trying very hard and they are in a situation in which they can't lose even one point because losing only one point can make Leverkusen to win the title at the end of this season and that's why in most of the games we see from Bayern Munich they will play with fully attacking style to win the math. For example in the game against Union Berlin, they won the game with a 1-0 result, but they could even get a better result because of the more opportunities they had.

This is not like the French League or Eredivise where the first place team leads the standings by a very long way in points. Munich is only 4 points behind Leverkusen. And both teams still have to face strong opponents in the League. They will also meet on February 11. So I think Munich's chances of winning the league are still very big. We know Leverkusen is playing very well this season but I see that Munich has a much better squad than Leverkusen so they can rotate their players better and this of course will affect the team's overall performance and mentality.

There's nothing wrong with the prediction you said, but we have to look at what is shown in the standings table, currently Leverkusen haven't lost at all while Bayern have lost twice, so even if in their next meeting (Bayern vs Leverkusen) Bayern wins, that's means that Leverkusen has only lost once, A height of 7 points is really not an easy thing for Bayern to chase, even though they have only played 17 matches while Leverkusen have played 18 matches. so I actually see that Leverkusen's chances of becoming Bundesliga champions this season are much greater than Bayern's chances.

We are still far away from the end of season. I personally hoped that if leverkusen will able to win the trophy at the end of season but everything can change anytime. Bayern munich has been performing so badly in the last games. Leverkusen did its job pretty good.
Leverkusen was the biggest threat to destroy record owned by bayern, even the team was not feeling satisfied with the result recorded by tuchel in all of competitions. Leverkusen's chance quite bigger to win the UCL this season.

Leverkusen is going to perform even better and i hope this one will be breaking the record owned by bayern to win 11 times in a row at the bundesliga. It was so crazy to see that how bayern was always dominating the competition for more than 10 years.
There must be a change in the bundesliga started from the club that was winning the competition. Leverkusen was there to breaking the record of bayern munich. Even bayern was lucky enough in the last season caused by dortmund was almost making it to win the competition.

Bayern munich may be under very big pressure as the owner is willing to see the record still continue. Tuchel has a target to win the competition or he will out from the bundesliga soon.

Thomas Tuchel fielded his strongest squad in this match, including his mainstay striker who has been very fierce in front of the opponent's goal, but the home team still had difficulty dismantling Union Berlin defense until the first half ended. Bayern Munich were only able to break the deadlock after a minute of the second half starting, Raphael Guerreiro managed to take advantage of the rebound with a hard kick which made the Union Berlin goalkeeper unable to block the ball which was heading towards his goal.

After Union Berlin's goal was broken through by Raphael Guerreiro, no additional goals occurred throughout the match, a score of 1-0 in favor of Bayern Munich was the final result of this match. This was not Bayern Munich's best performance, they looked like they were still not fully back after losing to Bremen. On the positive side, Bayern Munich was able to get full points which made the difference with Bayer Leverkusen to four points.

I am specifically thinking about the effect that these two games have on the upcoming games for Bayern. Other teams are noticing that Bayern's engine is sputtering, it isn't going as well and they can be defended quite well with a lot of effort and patience. When Bayern is in top shape, there is hardly any game where their opponents think they have a good chance to tie the game or let alone win that game. That's mostly when Bayern plays at home, but now they played two average teams in their home arena and lost one game and barely won one game. It is bad timing for them to display these problems now. Hopefully some more teams in the Bundesliga take advantage of that.

[topbitcoin]

Bayern Munchen can only hope for Bayer Leverkussen makes many mistakes in the remaining weeks of the Bundesliga but it will be very difficult for them to make many mistakes as they are running in a great performance and they have yet to lose a game if I am not mistaken,they even won against strong opponents,and they were unbeaten even against Bayern Munchen themselves,so I also exclude them,Bayern Munchen for having any chances to win the title this season.

This is not like the French League or Eredivise where the first place team leads the standings by a very long way in points. Munich is only 4 points behind Leverkusen. And both teams still have to face strong opponents in the League. They will also meet on February 11. So I think Munich's chances of winning the league are still very big. We know Leverkusen is playing very well this season but I see that Munich has a much better squad than Leverkusen so they can rotate their players better and this of course will affect the team's overall performance and mentality.

However when it comes to probabilities, right now Bayern are still bigger than Leverkusen even though they are in second place right now.
There's still a long way to go and we're still not sure what will happen to these two clubs in terms of performance so we'll just have to wait and see how they keep their form up.
Bayern still have a great chance to overtake and maintain their decade-long hegemony in the Bundesliga but on the other hand Leverkusen also have good momentum right now with Xabi at the helm.
Now it depends on their performance whether in the end they are able to make a breakthrough and change the system that has been built by Bayern for a long time or just like Dortmund last season who only had to be willing to give the trophy that was in sight back into the hands of Bayern.

Tuchel was hired in the last season to help Bayern Munich in Champions League when Bayern Munich did not believe in Nagelsman even the club got acceptable result in Bundesliga. Tuchel failed with Bayern Munich in Champions League and only won Bundesliga with a late goal in the final match day. I don't see that title as an convincing one from Bayern Munich and Tuchel only got luck to win it.

In this season, even with Kane who is making a lot of impressive performances in Bundesliga for Bayern Munich, Tuchel fails to help the club dominates the league. It is another failure of Tuchel even in Germany league and with this poor result in domestic league, it is unrealistic to think he will be able to help Bayern in Champions League.

It's interesting to analyze Tuchel's tenure with Bayern Munich, especially in light of the expectations placed on him in the Champions League. While he did secure the Bundesliga title in the previous season, your perspective on the circumstances surrounding that win raises valid points about the challenges faced,

The addition of Kane to Bayern Munich's roster this season brought high hopes, considering his notable performances in the Bundesliga. However, Tuchel's inability to lead the team to dominance in the league is indeed disappointing. It remains to be seen whether these struggles in the domestic league will have an impact on Bayern's performance in the Champions League, as success on the European stage often requires a different level of strategic planning and execution,

Bayern Munich is one team that has very good player combinations, they have in the team quality and skilful players who are in their various positions performing their best. Yes there are competitions from Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a lot more competitions in the UCL but the team is capable of subduing the stress of the competitions. Tuchel has his eyes on the Bundesliga trophy and a bigger eye on the UCL trophy.

 Although Alonso seems as a threat with the current performance and display from Bayern Leverkusen but Tuchel who's more experienced has drafted out his plans, processes and techniques and he seems ready for any competition that awaits him. He's got a good team for himself and I believe he'd be able to be victorious in 95% of his encounters. Bayern Munich is just one good team that are a general threat to every team they're up against and they have better victory chances too.

It's evident that Bayern Munich boasts an impressive roster with skilled players, and Tuchel appears focused on pursuing success both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. The competition, particularly from teams like Leverkusen, adds excitement to the Bundesliga, but your confidence in Tuchel's ability to navigate these challenges is clear. The experience he brings to the table, coupled with a well-prepared team, instills confidence in overcoming obstacles, but that has truly changed all as Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich are now struggling so much, Alonso is a potential threat to the championship that is for sure,

Certainly,the scores doesn't change any thing,the question there is that who is the winner?that's the fact that need to be considered,the 3points is already taken.

Well, I know a lot of people was hoping that bayern munich is going to win with goals,but Is quite unfortunate that they couldn't meet up the target, more especially those gamblers maybe some person must have predict that the outcome is going to be 4:0 in favor of bayern munich reason is because they are playing with wicker team.

But some times those teams who happens to be wick,when a bigger team is playing with them they find it difficult to win with goals  instead they end with a score of 1:0 in favor of the bigger team

I will say they did absolutely well if not for the winning they wouldn't have been in the top.now that they are ahead of leverkusen they need to be extremely careful because no much different with leverkusen ,and leverkusen is not ready to lose any match for now due to there performance lately.

On the positive side, Bayern Munich was able to get full points which made the difference with Bayer Leverkusen to four points.

Meeting a much weaker opponent, Union Berlin, and playing at home, however, Bayern Munich Club was not able to have a completely dominant position in this match. The playing style that Thomas Tuchel's team showed was not convincing. They had to work hard to get all 3 points in this match. They showed extraordinary deadlock when they launched 22 shots but could not find a second goal. Winning at least 1 goal, Bayern completed the goal of continuing to chase Leverkusen, but psychology is something Thomas Tuchel cannot solve.
Xabi Alonso's army is still on the rise and appears unstoppable at the present time. Leverkusen showed that they are more dangerous than any team that Bayern Munich has faced in the championship race before.

Yes, it is very bad to competen at home, even twice almost losing its reputations when play against Bremen, finally Bayern lost point and yesterday when playing against Union, it was very clears that the club was very weak at the moments but Bayern Munich was unable to scores in big number and even almost finish draws.
The only questions is where is the performances of Harry Kane and the other players?
It's very strange that Bayern Munich doesn't have problems with players and looks fine, but somehow Bayern Munich is experiences a very deeps decline in performances and it is necessary to ask why this club is so bad.
For Bayer Leverkusen, it seem that they are very enthusiastic and have the desire to survive and lead the Bundesliga until the end of the season, but I'am worried that Leverkusen will lose their consistency because it is impossible for a club to survive undefeated until the end the seasons.

[klidex]

Yes, you are right, but it also works the other way: no matter how well you play, you score a maximum of 3 points, so if Bayer plays well enough, then nothing depends on the efforts of Bayern, since even if they win in a head-to-head meeting, they will behind by one point. In addition, Bayern scored only one goal in two games with a large number of scoring chances, if this is a trend, then with such efficiency unexpected losses of points will be regular.

Bayer Munich had a hard time in the last two games. Normally, the general expectation is that Bayern Munich will always create a terrible position over the other team in the league. Even though they were doing this, it did not bring good results in the last two games. That's why I can even say that they have difficulty.

While Bayer Levernkusen is so good, Bayer Munich is normally questioned because it has difficulty in these matches. Moreover, these results were obtained after conceding five goals from Frankfurt. They will have to deal with this situation in the following weeks and Thomas Tuchel should get good results.

Yes, Bayern Munich like to have experienced difficulties in their last two matches when facing Werder Bremen. Bayern Munich seemed to have difficulty breaking through their opponents even though we know that Werder Bremen is not in good condition in the standings and Bayern Munich is also playing at home, but why did Bayern Munich fail to get the full 3 points and This of course made Bayern Munich fans disappointed with their performance.

And secondly, when facing the weakest club this season in the league, namely against Union Berlin, Bayern Munich also experienced difficulty in scoring goal opportunities and of course we expected Bayern Munich to be able to create many opportunities when Bayern Munich faced a weak club but in fact Bayern Munich only created 1 goal in the second half. and fortunately Bayern Munich kept their defense tight so that Union Berlin did not manage to equalize and managed to win with 1 goal.

Harry Kane seems to be in not fit condition because in several matches Harry Kane didn't create any chances at all. Usually Harry Kane is able to create opportunities in every match, but in the last few matches he failed, maybe because he was a little tired of the stamina he has because Tuchel always put himself in all competitions so that his performance decreased slightly.
Are you also feel the same as what happened to Harry Kane?

Talking about the top coaches in football specifically pointing to Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso tops the rankings because he has been one of the great coaches in football despite his young age and ambition while Thomas Tuchel have not reach the level of competing with Xabi Alonso who doesn't stress in matches, because his squad already knows what to do inother to secure a win. Bayer Leverkusen is on another level of football, they have the best squad and leading to tough game this season. Unbeaten run continues because there's definitely no competitive team strong enough to break their run but we still hope a slight mistake would happen on their side, probably the coach or the player.

[Hirose UK]

19th round will start tomorrow and the 19th round will again make it easier for Leverkusen to get full points and remain at the top of the standings with the most points.
In this match, Leverkusen will only meet Monchengladbach, which is lower middle class team, so Leverkusen is clearly the favorite, there is no chance for Monchengladbach in this match.
Moreover, Leverkusen also has home advantage, so it will be easier for Xabi to bring Leverkusen to victory, this will be like wide open path to remaining at the forefront of the title race.
Now we see how enthusiastic all the Leverkusen players are in their training sessions and all this thanks to Xabi performance as coach can really bring great hope for Leverkusen to become champions, this opportunity is big opportunity that was previously difficult for them to get.

[naira]

It's evident that Bayern Munich boasts an impressive roster with skilled players, and Tuchel appears focused on pursuing success both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. The competition, particularly from teams like Leverkusen, adds excitement to the Bundesliga, but your confidence in Tuchel's ability to navigate these challenges is clear. The experience he brings to the table, coupled with a well-prepared team, instills confidence in overcoming obstacles, but that has truly changed all as Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich are now struggling so much, Alonso is a potential threat to the championship that is for sure,

Xabi Alonso progress will not stop here because to continue competing with Bayern Munich it needs to be done until the end of the season. the difference that Leverkusen has temporarily gives them an advantageous position but for Xabi Alonso this is still not  enough because we all know that Bayern Munich  can be more aggressive if  their position is pressed. There is still hope but not 100% that this season Bayern Munich will win the trophy. Leverkusen continues to make many changes and now the difference of 4 points can be said to be a challenge  to whether Tuchel is able to take the Bayern Munich club further or not. The Domestic League that we see now is very favorable towards Leverkusen in terms of stable performance, goal effectiveness and even squad depth. Xabi Alonso is indeed a big threat in the Bundesliga.

[Mayor of ogba]

Bayern Munchen can only hope for Bayer Leverkussen makes many mistakes in the remaining weeks of the Bundesliga but it will be very difficult for them to make many mistakes as they are running in a great performance and they have yet to lose a game if I am not mistaken,they even won against strong opponents,and they were unbeaten even against Bayern Munchen themselves,so I also exclude them,Bayern Munchen for having any chances to win the title this season.

This is not like the French League or Eredivise where the first place team leads the standings by a very long way in points. Munich is only 4 points behind Leverkusen. And both teams still have to face strong opponents in the League. They will also meet on February 11. So I think Munich's chances of winning the league are still very big. We know Leverkusen is playing very well this season but I see that Munich has a much better squad than Leverkusen so they can rotate their players better and this of course will affect the team's overall performance and mentality.

Bayern Munich is indeed a great team and has a better squad than Leverkusen. But make no mistake, Leverkusen has high motivation and self-confidence this season with everything they have achieved so far. Leverkusen, who have never lost in 18 matches in the Bundesliga, is a good record to increase the team's confidence so that they continue to be consistent and can ultimately end Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.

4 points difference with Bayern Munich. 4 points is difficult, if Leverkusen loses 1 match then there is still a 1 point difference with Bayern Munich, and Leverkusen's opportunity to add points to Bayern Munich is when they meet each other in February. If in this match Leverkusen manages to beat Bayern Munich, Fix Leverkusen will take the Bundesliga title from Bayern Munich this season.

Bayern Leverkusen's performance this season has been amazing in the Bundesliga league, and that has made them unbeaten in the 18 matches played in the Bundesliga league this season. Bayern Leverkusen is also leading the Bundesliga league table, 4 points clear of Bayern Munich in second place, and they can win the Bundesliga trophy if they defeat Bayern Munich when they meet next month.

We know Leverkusen is playing very well this season but I see that Munich has a much better squad than Leverkusen so they can rotate their players better and this of course will affect the team's overall performance and mentality.

That is why the Bundesliga is more competitive compared to the Eredivisie and Ligue 1. The still narrow difference in points allows Bayern Munich to catch up or even surpass the points that Bayer Leverkusen has collected. The meeting of the two teams will certainly have a positive impact on the team that manages to win this Big Match, Leverkusen can widen the gap with its competitors, while Bayern Munich can cut the gap to one point. I admit that Bayern Munich has a more perfect squad than Leverkusen, but you have to look at it more realistically, Leverkusen performance this season is better than Munich's performance.

[rendravolt]

This will be the only exciting match this week and will also determine who will be able to stay in the top 4 of the standings longer. We know that Leipzig was previously defeated by Leverkusen and they certainly don't want to experience the same result even though this is an away match at Stuttgart headquarters. On the other hand, Stuttgart is also in poor performance because last week they lost to a weak team like Bochum and in the last 5 matches Stuttgart only managed to score one win. In fact, Stuttgart's performance with Leipzig is not much different, but what is clear is that this will be a tense match.

We know that Dortmund is also aiming for a top 4 position this week and they have quite the advantage because they will play Bochum at home and their victory is guaranteed from the start of the match. But as experienced by Stuttgart, I hope Dortmund can be more alert with Bochum and they must win with a large goal difference to secure full points at home.

They both lost the last games they played in the German Bundesliga League Competition and are also both together with a point difference between them.
It's one hard game for the both of themselves right now, Stuggart have been good but we do see them slack down whenever they're without the player Serhou Guirassy.

My prediction for this game is to see them draw and share the points. Liepzig had a good game which should have seen them winning against Bayern Leverkusen and Sessko scoring but all didn't go as planned.

With Guirassy not in the Stuttgart squad, the difference was really felt and their attack was getting weaker. I think Leipzig has quite the advantage because they still have Lois Openda in attack and she is also the temporary top scorer for Leipzig. Moreover, the depth of the Leipzig squad is much more evenly distributed and does not depend on just one person and perhaps Xavi Simons is a player that the Stuttgart players should anticipate.

Maybe a draw could be a pretty convincing result and I think a match like this will result in quite a lot of goals being scored. It is possible that even if there is a draw the result will be 1-1 or 2-2 and as long as they play an attacking game and are less defensive, this result could happen. But rather than betting on a draw, I am more interested in the goal over result and there is no reason for them to play it safe in the midst of heated competition in the top 4 of the standings.

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich had a really huge difficulty against Union Berlin despite being in control of the whole game. If it weren't for Guerreiro's goal I don't know if they would have managed to win. There was a goal by Kane which was disallowed later as well. Besides there was some tension between Sane and Union Berlin manager which resulted in Bjelica to get a red card.  

Bayern Munich somehow won maybe but they really need to make improvement in their finishing recently. Because they scored only one goal in these two comfortable games on paper. Otherwise they are already the most scoring team in the league now.

Up in my skull, I saw the game ending either a first half draw or a fulltime draw and it came through during the first half of the game. Union Berlin haven't had a good season overall and it has been that way slightly for em till this point in the second half of the season. Though they just started so we'll definitely see how it be!

I see the creativity of the squads performance has actually reduced overnight, just like I said, the repairs made by Thomas Tuchel are nothing convincing also leading to doubts about his long term stay as head of the coach for Bayern Munich.
For Harry Kane, it's just too early to go on saying he's got goals drought. Ain't it the second game without a goal? I'd say they should look at the creativity of the squad.

You got me wrong. I didn't want to state it like Kane was bad or something like that.    I meant he was nearly going to score in this game as well but he was unlucky to have the goal disallowed.

It would be really cruel to state that Kane is unproductive recently. Because he has scored nearly the half amount of goals his team have in the Bundesliga. It is all about Bayern Munich's playing solid as a team. For two weeks we haven't seen that much as they have had quite much struggles. But I don't think it would last very long.

[YuginKadoya]

-snip-

With everything that's happened in the German league from the start of the season till now. I'm certain that it won't be an easy ride for Munich. Alonso is making the manager's seat hot for him and Tuchel is striving to be meaningful to the team more than he currently is. The team won't want to be submissive to Leverkusen that just came out of the blue, even though it's really not a criteria for Tuchel's job to be retained, he just has to make the team stand out and prevail against Munich.

 The two sides are currently in thesame range and tempo and assuredly, the next few weeks would be heated up for the Bundesliga as both teams would take every game extremely serious.Tuchel has to regain Munich's pride, there's chance for him to do so, he just needs extra effort while hoping on a little of Leverkusen's back slide.

It's undeniable that the German league has been a rollercoaster from the season's kick-off until now. The challenges faced by Munich have added an unexpected twist, making the upcoming matches a far cry from an easy ride. The spotlight on Alonso and the growing pressure on the manager's seat only intensify the drama surrounding the team, Tuchel, on the other hand, appears to be in a constant battle to assert his significance within the team. The struggle to make a meaningful impact has undoubtedly contributed to the current state of affairs. The looming threat from Leverkusen, emerging seemingly out of nowhere, has added an additional layer of complexity to the narrative, Leverkusen is undoubtedly a daunting one for Munich. Despite the fact that Tuchel's job security might not hinge on these specific criteria, the imperative remains for him to elevate the team's performance and secure a triumphant position against Munich's formidable adversaries and that is Leverkusen's coach Xavi Alonso.

For sure Bayern Munich now has a plan to take Xavi Alonso on the team, and I agree with your assessment of the German league's current situation. It seems that Munich is facing challenges, with Alonso adding pressure to the manager's position and Tuchel striving to make a more significant impact on the team. Despite Leverkusen's unexpected rise, Tuchel needs to ensure the team doesn't succumb and instead stands out, especially against Munich. Both teams are currently on par, and the next few weeks in the Bundesliga are likely to be intense as they approach each game with utmost seriousness. Tuchel has an opportunity to restore Munich's pride, but it will require extra effort and perhaps a bit of luck with Leverkusen's performance.

[armanda90]

That is why the Bundesliga is more competitive compared to the Eredivisie and Ligue 1. The still narrow difference in points allows Bayern Munich to catch up or even surpass the points that Bayer Leverkusen has collected. The meeting of the two teams will certainly have a positive impact on the team that manages to win this Big Match, Leverkusen can widen the gap with its competitors, while Bayern Munich can cut the gap to one point. I admit that Bayern Munich has a more perfect squad than Leverkusen, but you have to look at it more realistically, Leverkusen performance this season is better than Munich's performance.

Actually Bundesliga more competitive than Eredivisie or Ligue 1 but since eleven years not any team can't destroy Bayern Munich dominance become the domestic league winner. For this season have difference thing with Bundesliga because Bayern Leverkusen success have consistent performance and manage top standings position behind 4 points left. Indeed not favorable as the Bundesliga winner, Bayern Leverkusen success become the only one teams unbeaten until 18 matches and there are not much problem for Xabi Alonso not better squad than Bayern Leverkusen have spent much money in the last window transfer.

Not large points difference between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen still can't predict who will be closer become the winner, have waiting for several matches later and looking the result for both team who will losses many points.

[KTChampions]

Yes, you are right, but it also works the other way: no matter how well you play, you score a maximum of 3 points, so if Bayer plays well enough, then nothing depends on the efforts of Bayern, since even if they win in a head-to-head meeting, they will behind by one point. In addition, Bayern scored only one goal in two games with a large number of scoring chances, if this is a trend, then with such efficiency unexpected losses of points will be regular.

Even if Bayer Leverkusen can maintain their lead (which admittedly is not really big at 4 points) until the last few games, the question is whether they can withstand the increasing pressure mentally. A good blueprint is Dortmund last year, who had an excellent run and made up 9 points on Bayern and just had to win on the last matchday against a previously weakening team at home to become a long awaited Bundesliga Champion again, but they couldn't withstand the pressure and lost what they thought was a certain championship.

Firstly, 4 points is a huge advantage, those who think otherwise are simply lazy - it's enough to look at how many points the two leaders lose on average per game to realize that 4 points is a lot.
Secondly, Dortmund is a bad example - they always have a large randomness of results no matter what. Even when they are not under potential pressure, they may unexpectedly lose to an underdog. Bayer, after they were led by Xabi, plays smoothly and I don’t see any prerequisites for mental problems (after all, this coach knows everything about this and will be able to support the team psychologically if necessary).

Mostly I have to agree with you.
But you are forgetting 1 thing, history. In Germany Leverkusen has a nickname, "Vizekusen" ( vice ) .
It's because several times in their history they have been there, with a chance to win it all, but they always failed.

Of course this is a different team now but still it might get to their head.
Also 4 points, that's not a lot if Bayern actually starts winning. They still play each other so even if they both win all other games and Bayern beats Leverkusen it's only 1 point. And we know what can happen if the nerves show themselves, we saw it with Dortmund last year.
You are so close, you can feel the cup in your hands already, and then it all comes crashing down.

Actually I am still convinced Leverkusen will throw it away and Bayern will win. I hope I am wrong because I am a Dortmund fan for 30 years now, and I if not BVB I want to see any other team on top other than Bayern, and Schalke of course but they are not relevant playing in the 2nd league.

It's evident that Bayern Munich boasts an impressive roster with skilled players, and Tuchel appears focused on pursuing success both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. The competition, particularly from teams like Leverkusen, adds excitement to the Bundesliga, but your confidence in Tuchel's ability to navigate these challenges is clear. The experience he brings to the table, coupled with a well-prepared team, instills confidence in overcoming obstacles, but that has truly changed all as Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich are now struggling so much, Alonso is a potential threat to the championship that is for sure,

Xabi Alonso progress will not stop here because to continue competing with Bayern Munich it needs to be done until the end of the season. the difference that Leverkusen has temporarily gives them an advantageous position but for Xabi Alonso this is still not  enough because we all know that Bayern Munich  can be more aggressive if  their position is pressed. There is still hope but not 100% that this season Bayern Munich will win the trophy. Leverkusen continues to make many changes and now the difference of 4 points can be said to be a challenge  to whether Tuchel is able to take the Bayern Munich club further or not. The Domestic League that we see now is very favorable towards Leverkusen in terms of stable performance, goal effectiveness and even squad depth. Xabi Alonso is indeed a big threat in the Bundesliga.

Just after the new year started I thought Xabi Alonso and his team couldn't have a good performance as they had before and they were going lose some points to let Bayern Munich to decrease the gap and even take their place because we can't forget that Bayern Munich hs winning the Bundesliga title for years in Germany and they won't want to see a team like Leverkusen breaking their records, But even in the game between players of Xabi Alonso and Leipzig while I was thinking that's over and Leipzig is gong to make Leverkusen lose some points, they won the match.
