Between the two managers I trust Alonso to throw out everything he has got on Kompany and his unbeaten team, to me this game is between Vincent Kompany and Xabi Alonso, to Kompany is a new chapter to go against the best team in Europe which he needs to get a win to boost his confidence and to Alonso is just to continue making a statement that he is still the boss and in the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich can't beat them anytime they want. But with 3pt separating both team I think it might end in a draw and both team have to go get their 3pt else where, is still Bayer Leverkusen for me on this encounter.
The Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen match in my opinion will change many things.
One of them is definitely building public opinion about who is the best between the two this season, or at least in the first half of the season. There will be a lot of emotions involved, not only for Xabi Alonso and Komany, but also for both fans. We realize that Bayern Munich are more consistent at the moment and are undefeated, while Leverkusen journey was stumbled by Leipzig in the second week.
However, this match promises to be a fierce game, full of pressure, and certainly entertaining for the fans. Both managers have certainly prepared their respective teams very well, they are ambitious to beat each other and refuse to share points. With Bayern Munich front line currently appearing sharp, I'm only worried that Leverkusen defense will be easy to explore. The rest, I see this big match as the perfect stage to show the best side of everyone involved in their respective teams.
The game Bayer Leverkusen lost has reduced the weight on their shoulders because going unbeaten since last season till this new campaign will only make them think of not losing but continue that unbeaten run and even if they draw it still hasn't changed so now they have lost it will make them face the reality, losing is part of the game and going against Bayern Munich it makes Bayern another target for the other clubs to stop that unbeaten.
To play against Bayer Leverkusen is another tough challenge so the Bayern Munich side has two or more things to keep intact, the unbeaten run, not to lose a point in this game and not to lose to a team who stole the show from them last season, it will hunt them for long I must say.
The defense of Bayer Leverkusen can be easy to break but talk about the midfield, that's the place to be worried about before the defense because I see a solid midfield in the Leverkusen side so the battle will be more on the midfield.
But we need to see something crucial here. They should be more careful with their defending. If they experience the same scenario against a powerful team then it wouldn't be that easy to come back from it.
