The only thing that is obvious is that Leverkusen spends 50% of the money on player salaries that Bayern Munich spends. If Bayern Munich does a proper job, Leverkusen can work as hard as they want but they won't be consistently on one level with Bayern Munich. In a single season, sometimes the unexpected is possible because Bayern can't get their issues sorted out and a different club uses their chance, but as you can see this hasn't happened in over a decade.

Every team has weaknesses and also periods of decline in playing performance so that defeat will definitely occur even though they have previously performed very well and won big wins.
Now in group F PSG has the advantage and when PSG wins again in the next match they will be even superior and Dortmund may even have difficulty catching up.
In the Champions League it is impossible to predict what the result of the match will be because in this match I thought it would end in a draw but instead Dortmund lost to PSG.

In the French League PSG didn't look very good but in the UCL group stage match they managed to prove their greatness by beating Dortmund which is one of the big Bundesliga teams.

In the next match Dortmund will meet Wolfsburg for the Bundesliga and this is an advantage for Dortmund because they have a home game.
But for the Bundesliga even though they lost several players if they meet a team that is quite weak, they might still be able to beat them easily.

I Think Leverkusen recent success, it is obvious that they have not yet reached Bayern Munich level.  Munich stands out due to their consistent dominance in the Bundesliga and strong player pool. Leverkusen is improving, but more work needs to be done before they can threaten Munich dominance. Leverkusen has made improvement, though, and with more perseverance and consistency, they may someday be considered serious competitors. Bayern Munich continues to dominate the Bundesliga for the time being.

I like how they started so well this season and are currently top four in the table it shows how serious they're and i believe it would help them this season if they continue with this good form they won't even go close to the relegation zone, so far they won three games out of four with one lose same points with Leipzig who're in the 3rd position, but the difference between them and Leipzig is that they're not really very strong contenders and  might begin to decline with time.

 There next match is against  Darmstadt who're in the relegation zone and expect them to win with a good scoreline like they normally do, because they're more in form and in a more better position in the league table which makes them to be the favorites in the match,well for the past 5 matches both teams have scored eachother ones and drew thrice making me to wonder if the might would end with a draw but i have a feeling that Stuttgart would win based on their current form.

Regardless of what Stuttgart are going through, they are quite impressive not only because they won but were able to score a lot of goals, in two matches they managed to score 5 goals each, 3 goals against Mainz and their striker Sehrou Guirassy has scored at least 8 goals, much more than Harry Kane has scored this season, but agree that Stuttgart will start to experience difficulties when facing strong teams and will slowly fall in ranking, but this season they will not repeat the difficulties of last season when they were almost relegated. All teams that experienced difficulties last season certainly wanted to experience what Stuttgart is currently experiencing but were unable to improve their performance because they had players who could be said to be not as good as other teams, and minimal financial support makes it even more difficult.

Dortmund improved their morale quite much after beating Freiburg by 4-2. But this happiness didn't last long because they lost to PSG by 2-0 last night. It was a tough game for them of course and they played even away. They needed to defend them as good as possible but I can't say Dortmund are one of the good teams about defending.

PSG have been having hard days actually. They just lost to Nice home but this didn't affect them at all in the Champions League game. However I don't think Dortmund are very unhappy now as a loss was already quite probable to be seen.

Bayer also plays in the EL, so they will have the same busy schedule as Bayern, but I think that for Bayer the Bundesliga will be a higher priority than the EL, and Bayern will perceive the Champions League and the Bundesliga equally and want to win them both, so in this case, Bayer will have a slight advantage. Although at the moment it’s too early to say anything, some of them will definitely experience a decline...

Indeed, Stuttgart must do that from the start if they still want to play in the Bundesliga next season and not be bothered by the danger of the relegation zone like last season. What Stuttgart achieved must be imitated by other weak teams at the bottom and at least now they have more capital to survive in this competition. Being in the top 4 for Stuttgart is just a momentary illusion and when they face teams whose level is far above them, such as Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Leipzig, they will definitely fall. The mid-table will indeed be the most comfortable place for Stuttgart rather than having to think about other negative things and they are doing their job well and have surprised people so far.

I will want to say you rightly stated the obvious, a good coach is not all a team requires to win a league title or let's say a trophy maybe. it's usually a collective effort from both players, coach and the team management as well because the coach will only provide the team(player's) with the needed tactics and formation to play with, while the player will be the ones on the pitch to play the game even tho the coach will be doing his job from the side of the pitch aswell.

Another factor that plays out in the success of a team is the relationship between the head coach and the players, and obviously Xabi Alonso is giving his best at that, it's said that the relationship between Xabi Alonso and his players is mostly a cordial and friendly one as this will keep the players at ease and willing to give their very best as they have no resentments.

It's sad how if a team is not performing very well the coach seem to take all the blame but the it's worthy of noting that not in every situation the coach should take all the blame, the players aswell and the management too aswell have a fair share of the blame as if a team have injured players that coach cannot be solely blamed for that, same as when the team is managed poorly by the management, in situations where they refuse to release funds for the coach to make good purchase of new players I don't think he should be blamed solely if the teams performance drops as a result.

It is fortunate that from the start of this season match until the next match, Stuttgart has never faced a stronger team and everything was proven when they competed against Leipzig. It was very clear that Stuttgart could not do anything except lose the match. and in the upcoming match, Stuttgart will compete against Darmstadt and this is not a strong team that has just been promoted to the Bundesliga and of course Stuttgart will win this match again by adding 3 more points.
this is very clear, like luck that needs to be appreciated. Stuttgart schedule in the early stages of this season is not against a stronger team so that it can add more points before playing against Leverkusen or Bayern Munich and from this match Stuttgart will lose its victory again.

As every post that says Dortmund doesn't care about winning and only wants to develop and sell players, absolute NONSENSE.

Every single player they sold over the past years they tried to hold. They offered more money and a new contracts to Haaland, Bellingham, Aubameyang, Dembele and so on. Every single player. They knew they can make a lot of money selling them but they chose to compete for titles and try to keep them.

Yet all the players declined and wanted to go to bigger teams with bigger salary.

So how does this fit to their proclaimed agenda? If they want to sell players and take profits, why would they try to keep the players and spend more money doing so? You don't read any news about Dortmund and what's going on, you just see the big headlines that a player was sold, what happened before, even though it's well reported in German, but also international, media you have no clue of.

So please stop posting this nonsense as you have 0 idea what's going on in Dortmund or even the Bundesliga.

Also I don't understand why you would add this totally unrelated picture of attendance records in the Bundesliga. 

I don't think if that's a priority for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title, Dortmund is a team that usually tries to earn money by selling young players and talents to other teams and we know even Bayern Munich is one possible destination for these talented palters. Dortmund got a good potential and they got usually have even more spectators which shows how great a team they are.
I think already got what they wanted to get and they are already earning a huge amount of money from the players they sell.

After seeing Leverkusen's revival last season, we are increasingly confident that they will make many surprises this season. Indeed, when Leverkusen visited the Allianz Arena they were able to show their true strength because they were facing a star-studded team but they were able to apply a lot of pressure in that match. The final result is a strong answer about their position in this season. Bayern Munich, which is dominated by above average quality players, must be wary of the rise of other teams, especially Leverkusen, this season.

Indeed, Bayern Munich will be able to seize the leader of the standings from Leverkusen, but if Xabi Alonso is able to maintain Leverkusen's best performance then Bayern Munich will find it difficult to shift Leverkusen's ranking. I think Leverkusen are in their best form this season after last season they sat at the bottom of the standings, but this season their fate has changed 100%.

So from that it would be quite funny to say their strength is comparable so in this case I don't really agree with saying Leverkusen is comparable to Bayern because in terms of strength and quality Bayern players are still superior, it's just that for cohesiveness and performance they deserve to be praised.
Currently Leverkusen deserves to be praised and Xabi is a new figure but has a cold hand in his coaching which makes this Leverkusen different this season.

It's a challenge for Xabi as they begin a more demanding schedule than ever before as they now prepare for their first Europa League match.
They will face Hacken in the Europa League followed by Heidenheim in the Bundesliga a few days later.
Xabi will have to start thinking of a good rotation for the players so that they don't get overworked in this busy schedule and indeed this will be a good challenge for Xabi especially if he can handle it then he will definitely have a lot of confidence this season.

So far their coach is really doing a good job at the team and has made them to be a strong contending side that are capable of facing any other team in the league I like how they came back to equalize Bayerns late hour goal making them to still retain their position which is the top of the league, I've got no doubt about Bayern Munich toping the league later but currently Leverkusen have proved that they're capable of taking everyone by suprise this season and I'll be shocked to see if they'll win the league  this season.
 
 Bayern Munich would be currently hoping that Bayer Leverkusen carelessly drop some point so it would give then better chances of moving to their preferred position which is the top of the league table, and one thing about them is that when they're toping they barely loose matches and they could destroy Manchester United tomorrow in the Champions league

The last time the Bundesliga competition was like this was in the 2018-19 season where at that time Dortmund managed to suppress Bayern with a difference of 2 points until the end of the season and from that season until the 2021-22 season Dortmund was always far behind and last season was the closest but they also failed to maximize circumstances that should have been profitable for them.

I agree with you, if you look at the current performance, it is very likely that the competition will be full of tension and the difference will be a little difficult for them to achieve this season, especially since Dortmund's performance is still quite far from expectations.
But fortunately in this week's match they managed to win quite convincingly against Freiburg which made their position slightly better in the standings.

Leverkusen is indeed a good club and its performance is quite convincing this season. but it is true what you say if Bayern is actually still above Leverkusen regarding the ability of its players. In the last match which ended in a draw, Bayern actually had a 2-1 lead. However, it was very unfortunate that at the end of injury time, they made a mistake and were very unlucky. So Leverkusen got the final kick which made it a goal. So it's just a matter of time, I'm sure that Bayern will soon take over the first position again. Moreover, they are really on fire at the moment, and Harry Kane has also made them stronger on the front line.

Having a good coach like Xabi Alonso is not enough to win the Bundesliga title unless other teams and especially Bayern Munich stop spending money and buying superstar players because even if Xabi Alonso is a great coach but still he needs better players in his team. in other words, you can't expect to see Xabi Alonso and his team winning the title with the players they currently have.

I don't know if that will end up with winning the Bundesliga title for Xabi Alonso. But even if that doesn't happen one thing looks certain that Leverkusen will fight really hard this season to have a solid placement. Since he came everything has changed for the team. Everyone is praising his strategies and system.

This makes me think about whether we would see him as Real Madrid's next manager. Because it is quite probable to be seen considering his history with Real Madrid. In addition to that it is Ancelotti's last season there officially. They will be in search of a new manager.

If we would see a potential offer from Real Madrid I don't think Xabi Alonso would turn it down.
