With their current condition they are slowly moving away and are in 12th position. Even though the positions in the Champions League and Europa League zones are still quite far away, at least they are free from the relegation zone now.
Actually when Xabi was here I had my doubts with him a bit but as time has gone on he has continued to prove that he is capable and I like his progress now.
Leverkusen is playing quite well and seems to be an improved team right now. The interesting thing is I did not see any crucial changes in the squad. So, I think we can say that this happened because of the change in authority. Right now they are quite far away from the relegation zone. And I think the way they are playing, they should be able to improve further and should become a team in the top 10 positions in no time.
Actually, I had doubts about Xabi being the coach. But now I am not doubting them or him. But there is a long way to go. And I think if we say they are going to perform well throughout the rest of the season, we will be speaking too early.
Their next game is against Moinchengladbach. Even though this club is actually still not very good, when you look at the performance, of course Monchengladbach is something that should not be underestimated.
It would be great if Leverkusen can still pick up points in this game. Monchengladbach will obviously be the favorites in this match, especially since home games are always profitable for them in terms of odds, but for the current performance it seems that Leverkusen can still get 3 points.
