The Bundesliga has become more competitive this season than in previous seasons. Several teams are fighting for the title. This is because Bayern Munich has been somewhat off-form this season. Out of 12 matches, they have drawn 4 and lost 1. They lost the top spot due to the loss of points. And Munich's points gap with the other teams narrowed. If Bayern Munich gets back on track and start performing consistently, all teams will fall behind Munich once again.
Bayern Munich are back on track after experiencing a slump on some momentum.
In 10 matches in all competitions, Bayern Munich only got one draw against Dortmund. Another 9 matches with landslide wins. in other words, it is only a matter of time for Bayern Munich to return to the top of the Bundesliga group.
This week, Bayern Munich will play away to the headquarters of Herta Berlin. seems, Herta Berlin is not a difficult opponent to be overthrown by Bayern who are in a positive trend.
Basically Bayern Munich is still on the title track, because Bayern Munich is not far behind. So although Bayern Munich so far this season has not been able to get the top position well, but Bayern Munich still trails the top-ranked team currently owned by Union Berlin. Bayern Munich has always been the team that will be able to have the first position in the Bundesliga standings, because no team in the Bundesliga can really break Bayern Munich's dominance.
Therefore, regarding the next match against Hertha Berlin, it remains an easy match for Bayern Munich to get full points. I believe there is no chance for Hertha Berlin to get points even though they are playing at home, because after all Bayern Munich will still target the three points to continue to press union Berlin at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
in the other match, Leverkusen vs Union Berlin. this match is quite crucial for Union Berlin. the reason is, even though the ranking distance between the two teams is far from each other. but based on the H2H meetings they have, Liverkusen always dominate the win. the last three matches of their encounter, only resulted in a draw. and if, Union Berlin slip in this fight. Bayern Munich, will take back the position of the top of the Bundesliga standings.
Also, regarding the Union Berlin match I am very sure Union Berlin will be able to beat Leverkusen. I really don't care at this moment about their head to head because Union Berlin is already like the strongest team in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich.
I also considered the previous match when Union Berlin played against Monchengladbach, it was a difficult match but Union Berlin still managed to get full points even though Monchengladbach played very well.
So, if I compare Monchengladbach with Leverkusen then it seems clear, at this moment Leverkusen don't have enough ability to provide strong resistance.
