The victory of Leverkusen as Bundlesliga champions last season was magical which has boosted their confidence in the league but about this new season it's very obvious with how they are starting off that they can't repeat the spell of retaining the title no matter how they try because other opponents like Bayern Munich, Brussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig look very set and prepared for them, especially Bayern Munich because to them it's somehow a challenge that Leverkusen had to strip them of their birth right and letting Leverkusen retaining it this season is very unlikely.
Bayer Leverkusen still has the oppurtunitty win the Bundesliga because the league is still young. They still have the quality players since they retained most players who made them champions last season. What is certain now is that they will not maintain their unbeaten run this season since they have already lost a game. The Xabi Alonso side was defeated by RB Leipzig making them to lose three points. The league is competitive with good sides like Bayern Munich with some of the best players in Europe. The surprising leader of the table now is Heidenheim, while Leverkusen is in the eighth position.
The opportunity is not just open to Bayer Leverkusen only but to every other teams in the league which is what is raising the dust about Leverkusen going through an early defeat for a team that had an unbeaten  streak all throughout the last season. Fair enough to say that they may not be able to repeat an unbeaten streak as it were but basically the early defeat just at the start of the season can affect their winning mentality.

However, I do agree with you that the season is still fresh and there's a much window of opportunity for the Xabi Alonso side to restrategize, not putting their guard down in order that they may prevail because it's really a challenging season as other teams ain't smiling which we will be seeing many surprising results this season in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen have not been in good form this season. And we saw it in their performances in the first two matches. Leverkusen won despite not performing well against Gladbach. On the other hand, the team lost against Leipzig. As the team aims to win the Bundesliga title, Leverkusen cannot secure the title if they cannot continue their winning streak. Either way the team will try to get 3 points against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen have won four of their last five matches against Hoffenheim. This group is not very strong. So if Leverkusen performs a little carefully, and if the defense is a little strong, then Leverkusen will be able to get 3 points from this match. However, Leverkusen's defenders must play well.
I think it's too early to say that Leverkusen are in bad form at the start of the season just because they lost against Leipzig last weekend, it can't be used as a reference because overall Leverkusen have played well, it's just that they were a little unlucky to have to admit their first defeat of the season so quickly.

Xabi Alonso is a coach who has been quite successful in building or improving the performance of the Leverkusen team since his arrival, so that will also apply this season.
There's no need to worry about anything and don't be too quick to judge the strength of the Leverkusen team, it's still too early.

Bayer Leverkusen's surprising performance and achievements of last season I don't think can be repeated this season but I believe they can still have an impressive season. Playing in the UEFA Champions League is very tasking and now that teams will now play 8 games in the first round of the competition makes it even harder.
What is certain is that their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga has been broken and cannot be achieved again. Currently, their focus is to compete to become Bundesliga champions with other top clubs, which is certainly not easy this time. But, they will be always struggling.

And for UCL, well, in their first match, Leverkusen will play against Feyenoord,
It will be at

From seeing Xabi current seriousness, it seems that he does not prioritize the unbeaten title or even does not really hope to get another title in the bundesliga. Because Xabi currently seems to prioritize the title in the UCL and will likely only try to survive to enter the top 3 positions in the standings. Regarding Leverkusen who will face Feyenoord, it seems that there is no problem for Xabi to try to survive and try to provide a strategy to stay consistent but when he has the opportunity he must score. Leverkusen current attack line has fast tactics and attacks that make fans not worry.

Although the next match will not be that difficult, Leverkusen must try to play carefully because unexpected things can happen where they will share points with their opponents. Looking at the quality of the team, it is true that Leverkusen is indeed favored to get full points, but they must be aware if Hoffenheim plays defensively and tries to counterattack when Leverkusen's defense is off guard. The defeat when facing Leipzig must be an evaluation where they must be able to create opportunities in the match and they must also play more consistently in maintaining the defense line so as not to concede goals.
I also think that Leverkusen will try earlier to score a goal against the home team when Leverkusen is a guest at Hoffenheim's home because in terms of condition, both teams have won once and lost once in the two matches they have played this season. So the Leverkusen team must be able to play better and also more consistently in every line for full points, because the home team itself will also consider that their next opponent is a difficult opponent even though they are not afraid to face it.
Hoffenheim should not be an opponent that can make it difficult for Leverkusen in the next match because if you look at its quality, Hoffenheim is different from Leipzig, Hoffenheim is an average club that is trying to perform well but Leverkusen is not an easy opponent for it so even though playing at home Hoffenheim has a very small chance of winning compared to Leverkusen.

I will still favor Leverkusen to win this match even though they just lost against Leipzig but I'm sure Xabi Alonso has fixed his previous mistakes so as not to repeat careless mistakes again, Leverkusen has odds @1.58 to win in my opinion this is a pretty good odds.

Having an impressive season, yes but what's the joy in having a wonderful season without a trophy to show for it? With how they have been handling their games I still have that feeling that they can get something this season even if is not the Bundesliga title they can achieve something bigger, talking about the UCL, they can get it after all the teams we are seeing haven't done what they did in a season so other clubs would be mindful of them. And the game they lost was expecting but not to that team was expecting Bayern Munich, the lost game  made the Leverkusen side relaxed to go in to the next game and they don't need to maintain that unbeaten streak to show that they're good, is best they set there head straight and get every point in the remaining games ahead.
I don't expect an extraordinary performance like last year at Bayer Leverkusen this year. They already showed this in the match they lost. After scoring two goals in the match, they couldn't maintain this advantage and conceded three goals. That's why they left the field with a defeat. Sure, the other team is strong, but they will be playing against stronger teams in the Champions League. If their goal is the highest, they should compete better this year than last year.
From season to season it is very difficult for a team to be able to continue to be in good form, especially Leverkusen  just a surprise team that was able to give a shock effect to Bayern Munich after dominating the Bundesliga for a long time, Leverkusen' unbeaten record last season is a record that is indeed very difficult to maintain even by a big team so it is quite natural for us not to have great expectations if Leverkusen is able to repeat it this season,  Actually, Leipzig is not a strong team in the Bundesliga and Leverkusen is also not a big team so far in the Bundesliga but the improvement that has occurred in both teams in recent seasons has made the competition in the Bundesliga more competitive, last season Leverkusen with the current squad was able to destroy Leipzig with a score of 3-2 in their two match, but this season Leipzig was able to take revenge by giving Leverkusen the first defeat with also a score of 3-2, so that it shows the difference and change in the ability of each team in each different season.

I agree with you, they lost the game in good time because now they have god enough time to find weaknesses and know what why they lost this match. This will definitely give them a good chance to have a better performance in the next games.
I think Bayer Leverkusen will have much harder games during this season because of the Champions League and this loss will definitely help them.

I agree Bayer Leverkusen had amazing season last year but it might be hard for them to do it again. Playing in Champions League is tough and now they have to play even more games. They lost league game recently but that does not mean their season is over. I believe they can still have great season and play well again. They have good players and experience so they can handle the challenges of the Champions League and still do well in their league. It will be interesting to see how they do and how they will play in future.
Bundesliga defending champions Bayer Leverkusen Football Club continued their incredible performance from last season. They have put up a strong fight against their opponents in most of the matches. However, Bayer Leverkusen broke the club's 35-match unbeaten run by losing against Leipzig. I don't want to say that Leverkusen's situation in the Bundesliga is comfortable at the moment as they draw their first match against Carl Zeiss Jena by a goalless goal but lost 3-2 to RB Leipzig last week Which is really inconsistent with their name. Compared to last season, their performance at the beginning of this season seems a little shaky.

On September 14, Leverkusen will face Hoffenheim. Maybe we will see a competitive fight from them in that match. Let's see how well the Leverkusen players can perform in the third match after losing the second match.

I agree with you that the next match will not be too difficult for Leverkusen to secure full points over Hofenheim, you have said one of the right reasons where the difference in team quality is quite far where also in the last few seasons I have seen Hoffenheim who are always far from good in the competition in the table.
I predict that it seems that this match will be used as an opportunity for Leverkusen to restore the trust of their fans after they were defeated by Leipzig last week, but of course Leverkusen should not underestimate Hoffenheim because after all unexpected things are very possible to happen on the field, so they must continue to play objectively and carefully to avoid unnecessary mistakes, but in general I am sure that Hoffenheim is not too difficult an opponent for Leverkusen.

Yes, they lost last week and this defeat should teach Xabi some things. Xabi is a great coach. Bayer Leverkusen played a very good game even though they lost. They were very successful against Leipzig, they were very active but their mistakes in defense cost them dearly. Leverkusen are still playing well and I am sure they will win games in the Champions League.

Good news for Dortmund fans, but confusing with all this. I mean, if Dortmund really wanted Klopp back, when they heard the news that Klopp wanted to leave Liverpool, Dortmund should have made an offer to the coach. But looking at some of the news, it seems like this will be a strategy that we will not know and give a nice surprise when secretly having an agreement between Klopp and Dortmund. And for Nuri Şahin, I am actually not sure if he will really be able to make a change but we will see in the next few games whether he can maintain Dortmund consistency.

At this point, anything that happens between this two sides is fair to me. Klopp had a good relationship with Dortmund in the past and if he wants to join them now, he will easily get his position back in that club. Taking a break at Liverpool may have been the only way he could leave the club without the team having negative impression towards him. Nuri Sahin may not be a bad choice for Dortmund but has that experience than him and he may be considered soonest to replace him if care is not taken.

The victory of Leverkusen as Bundlesliga champions last season was magical which has boosted their confidence in the league but about this new season it's very obvious with how they are starting off that they can't repeat the spell of retaining the title no matter how they try because other opponents like Bayern Munich, Brussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig look very set and prepared for them, especially Bayern Munich because to them it's somehow a challenge that Leverkusen had to strip them of their birth right and letting Leverkusen retaining it this season is very unlikely.

Bayern Munich will likely want to try again and collect their title back from Bayern Leverkusen. Bayern Leverkusen will also try not to miss out on the league title this season again, after winning it the first time, they may feel it’s worthy of been tried again and they’ll have that confidence that since they won it the first time, they’ll definitely win it again. All other clubs in the league will also feel that if they put in more efforts, they may also win the league also. So the competition in the Bundesliga now has gone beyond just two teams but includes most of the teams in the league who are all fighting for different course but majorly finishing at the top four or top six to get an European competition to participate in.

To be fair no team can beat Real Madrid, until they do which is a shock to the whole world. The only team that can realistically beat Real Madird is Manchester City, aside from that no matter which team we are talking about it doesn't make sense for Real to lose, doesn't matter which part of the world this club is from, stuttgart or not, no team has a chance to win.

But, sometimes Real plays terribly and loses, just a few years ago they lost to Serrif, a team that worth 10 million euro total, and yet it happened anyway, so shocking results do exist in football, same season Real Madrid won the UCL as well. So, do not be really worried about Suttgart, they will lose, and if not then they will be very happy, but it's still smart to bet on Stuttgart to lose.

I disagree with you, like who is Real Madrid that is only Man City that can beat them? Some seasons ago Madrid lost to Shakhtah, I think it ended 3-2 so you can't be saying that. Even in this very state of Madrid with all the big boys they have I still believe that there is a team capable of beating them after all they (Madrid) haven't been able to play as a unit, just running and making some crazy mistakes against teams they're suppose to beat without stress.
Stuttgart can as well beat Madrid, it all depends on how clinical they are in front of goal, converting any chances they have got and if they can get that then they can beat Madrid but betting on Stuttgart against Madrid is a bit tempting but anything can happen, Madrid can decide to go and take a nap and you see them losing to Stuttgart, I don't think anybody would like to take that chance of staking on Stuttgart.

Obviously Leverkusen is now regarded as a big team, they got passed average last season so most of their opponents will be playing against them in such a style, they will only need to restrategise if they must stay ahead of the game because away from the bundesliga, they have got the champions league which is even more though than their domestic league thay have got some time to get on fixing their flaws as the domestic league hasn't gone halfway neither has the champions League commenced already.

To be fair no team can beat Real Madrid, until they do which is a shock to the whole world.
Even Stuttgart is or was not playing good the first 2 games in the german league its possible that they can beat or making a draw against Real Madrid.
For sure the chances are low but its possible and there are a few days for that game and maybe Stuttgart will be getting better in the league with there performance.
Next game Stuttgart are playing is in Gladbach and the team has the power for win this match in Gladbach.
As the reigning Spanish and European champions, Real Madrid is considered by many as the strongest team in Europe at the moment but that doesn't mean that they're unbeatable. Football is one game that produces shocking results especially when they're least expected so even when I know it's very unlikely to happen, I think Real Madrid is still very much beatable.
Their first UEFA Champions League game of this season will be against German club Stuttgart and I would've given Stuttgart a chance in my prediction of that game if they'll be the host but since it'll be played at Santiago Bernabeu, I think it'll be an easy win for Real Madrid.

As long as Xabi keeps playing with the system that already worked so far, he is going to get good results and nothing will change much. I know that it may not look like that with just one loss but that's just one loss, in fact it's their first loss in nearly forty games of Bundesliga, we should be more forgiving against that, plus it wasn't like some relegation level team, it was Leipzig and shit happens, we shouldn't really make a comment on what's going to happen with just one game.

I am not saying Leverkusen will win the league title again, maybe they will or maybe they won't we can't know that, but if they win it then we can say one game didn't matter that much, and if they lose it, it won't be because of just one single game, they would have to lose even more.
Xabi Alonso played under the best minds in the game. I believe that experience helped him develop the perfect strategy to excel in the Bundesliga. His tactics has already been tested for success in the previous campaign finishing unbeaten at the end of the season….that’s not something that is easy to do. Indeed Xavi’s system is effective and works very well for the team. Whether they win the league title or not, Leverkusen already have started on a good note this season.
