Leipzig have a big chance to be able to compete this season with Munich, but I think it is very important for them to be able to maintain consistency to continue to stick to Munich in the Bundesliga standings, if you look at the competition in the Bundesliga right now, I think Dortmund will indeed find it difficult to be able to compete with Munich, but not with Leverkusen because so far Leverkusen is still able to perform consistently and quite well compared to Dortmund, Although Leverkusen is currently 7 points behind but so far Leverkusen still shows consistency and strength in their squad, Munich is still a strong favorite to win the Bundesliga title because of their consistency and fairly stable performance at the moment, but I am very confident that Munich will not be able to maintain their unbeaten status until end of season, and gradually of course, they will slip to giving the opportunity for other teams to get closer.
If this goes on, Bayern will be facing tough competition with Leipzig, and after having trouble against Leverkusen this year, they can't afford to lose to Leipzig this season and they need to win the league. What people do not understand about Bayern Munich, yes they do need to win every year, maybe it feels to you that "after winning 10 year in a row, losing 2 in a row shouldn't be a trouble" but the reality is that the amount of money they are spending is so gigantic that they need to keep winning, even last year was a big financial trouble for them and this year is definitely going to be harder than that.
So they need to end up winning as many titles as they can, in order to pay for all the money they are spending. If they give up, and if they end up losing the title this year as well, then we are going to end up with a situation where they won't have the financials anymore.
This could lead to them not being able to afford better transfers and that could lead to them not being at the top anymore and become just a good team of that league. This is why they need to keep winning and pay all those costs, and Leipzig could be doing something incredible for the league if they win this season.
