Leverkusen has looked a little different after winning the Bundesliga last season with an unbeaten record, but this season it is no longer the case because Leverkusen has lost when facing Leipzig in the second match at the beginning of this season. But in terms of strength, Leverkusen must still be considered a dangerous opponent by any team in the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich must not underestimate an opponent like Leverkusen, especially since Bayern Munich is also being led by a new coach this season.
Bayer is still a strong team, but Leipzig also showed that they worked well in the off-season and beating Bayer away is a very good result. So far, it seems that Leipzig may become the main competitor this season, but it will also depend on how Bayer plays, whether they can maintain this three-point gap from Bayern or not. I know that it is too early to draw any conclusions, but I can already say that Bayern and Leipzig are showing that they can fight for the championship, and as for Dortmund and Bayer, we need to wait and see how ready they are to be close to the leaders.

Bayan Munich can win against Leverkusen but it is wrong to think that Bayan Munich will win every match against the teams you consider easy opponents. We often notice that in important matches big teams are defeated by relatively smaller teams or do not get full points in those matches. Bayern Munich should not plan all the matches at once, the match they play is important for them and they have to win that match. Leverkusen went undefeated last season to secure the title, but that doesn't mean they are stronger than Bayern Munich.

Marcel Rapp is working on improving the performance of his club but he wouldn't just get it right since he's in one of the most challenging league in the European world of football. Bundesliga is not for the weak, but mainly competitive among the top clubs. Holstein Kiel are the new side that's promoted, we understand the significance of the club but failing to improvement and fierce stunts against oppositions, its tough, they lost two major games that would have credited them a point on the table. They're 16th position on the Bundesliga table and their next game is Bayern Munich, which is really not a good news for them.
Nothing is too difficult if Marcel Repp works hard on himself and his team and plays with confidence. They need to be quick and try to score as many goals as possible to make this difficult league easier. Yes you are right if a team doesn't work hard and is weak then they will play someone in this league when there are very strong teams here. If they had won this match, their position would have been at a good number. And would have included a good performance in this league. You are right because Bayern's performance is strong and very good, so the win should go in their favor. If they defeat them, it will be an advantage for them, but it is difficult to say.
Two matches is way too early to judge anything, but based on the stats alone it seems like Leverkusen has a problem of keeping their goal leads on the second half. In both matches they managed to score two goals but conceded two goals later, even though they control most of the match based on their possesion/created chances. To be fair Leipzig goals are great and they got a little bit luckier with the bounce compared to Leverkusen, but that's part of the game so we can't say much about it. I don't think they should think too much about this result honestly. CMIIW.

Although Holstein Kiel will play at home but still, I believe there is no chance for Holstein Kiel to be able to make a surprise. Because of course, Bayern Munich, which still needs full points in each match, will also maximize this good moment to keep getting three points. Not only that, because I also believe Bayern Munich will win with a good score too and also with clean sheets because then, at least Bayern Munich will be at the top of the standings if they have more goals despite having the same points as other teams.
But even so, if Holstein Kiel is really able to rise then of course there are still many opportunities throughout this season. It doesn't matter if Holstein Kiel lost big to Bayern Munich, because if Holstein Kiel managed to get up then of course Holstein Kiel could get out of the relegation zone, because the most important thing is not to be relegated, but that is certainly difficult for a promotion team like Holstein Kiel.
In general, it is as you said and for example Holstein Kiel can make Bayern Munich have difficulty but they have no chance to survive when Bayern Munich players attack continuously. There are times when Holstein Kiel makes a blunder and that opportunity can be utilized well by Bayern Munich. Their mentality is still not ready to face the game of the German giants and at least I can predict that there will be 4 goals or more that will be scored by Bayern Munich.But even so, if Holstein Kiel is really able to rise then of course there are still many opportunities throughout this season. It doesn't matter if Holstein Kiel lost big to Bayern Munich, because if Holstein Kiel managed to get up then of course Holstein Kiel could get out of the relegation zone, because the most important thing is not to be relegated, but that is certainly difficult for a promotion team like Holstein Kiel.
Seeing the defeat suffered by Leverkusen, it makes Bayern Munich even more enthusiastic to win the match in a row and there is no reason for them to delay it. Talking about the chances of relegation Holstein Kiel certainly they are destined for it but if they can change their fate we will see them back in the Bundesliga and honestly I look forward to it.
I assume not many people were expecting Dortmund to lose points against Werder Bremen. Considering their last head-to-heads at this stadium, Dortmund won all of them. But here we saw only a 0-0 draw. 
It makes one sad to see this result after betting on the favourite side to win... I just don't learn not to place bets on a side to win in the Bundesliga this often.
On the next match week, Dortmund are hosting Heidenheim. I know it is early to talk about it but I'm still curious. Because the way Heidenheim started the season is quite interesting.
Maybe both teams to score and over 2.5 goals would be decent choices.

In football anything is possible so we often see big surprises but in percentage terms it is small especially for teams that are able to maintain their consistency.
for example like Leverkusen last season.
Bayern Munich has not proven anything now from the changes they have made, I think so far we have not been able to measure the strength of any team including Bayern Munich whether they are better than last season or not, but what is certain is that the Bundesliga competition this season will be much fiercer and in percentage terms I think Bayern Munich is still the same as several other top Bundesliga teams.
The surprise that occurs is a very beautiful color in football, for example when a top team is defeated by a weak team, all predictions before the match turn 180°. Overall, surprises like this are very rare, but the coach must remain focused on maintaining his team's game so that embarrassing incidents do not occur.for example like Leverkusen last season.

The season has just started, it is not yet certain where Bayern Munich will go under Kompany guidance, even though they have managed to get two wins since the season started, but anything is possible because there are still so many matches to go. Bayern Munich level under Kompany will be tested when they face other strong teams such as Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig, if Kompany is able to overcome these teams, the opportunity to win his first title as a coach is wide open.
It will not be easy to go through a season without defeat and from several strong leagues, only one team can at least record an undefeated record and that happened once and of course it became a new record recorded throughout the league. Now I think talking about that is like talking about something a little impossible, even though in the end we see a team that managed to do it very well. But that doesn't mean it will be possible again, even though the team is very strong, because there will be many factors that can make them succeed in recording a record like that. I have no choice but to say that one of the factors is luck, although this has also been controversial for us.
Luck is a slight factor that affects a teams success in situations as this actually it's not key but if need be, the key factor is mainly the teams abilities and strength especially when expectations and pressures on them are minimal, but if the reverse is the case, then the team may not be able to maintain such records and Bayer Leverkusen is a typical example as seen, they literally had almost no pressure also season, so very likely this occurs once in awhile and not often and it's difficult for a team to maintain it for more than once in a row, I have not seen that really happen in a long time.Don't focus too much on some strong teams that can beat them, because sometimes a team that is considered weak and predicted to lose can actually make a surprise. Luck is usually something that speaks volumes in this case, we have seen many matches whose results are determined by luck.
Bayern Munich has all the needs for them to win the Bundesliga and they have shown that they can even maintain it for more than a decade before Leverkusen showed a very good game last season and finally broke Bayern Munich's dominance and recorded the championship title after 120 years they could not get it.
Now it's still early and I will not be too early to predict who will be the champion, because in the standings there is no clear construction.

Truly said. Luck factor is significant in knock out tournaments but on league, the better team would surely stand out. The first 10 matches might not bring real picture of where the team stands but give them a 20 match spread and the table starts becoming clear.
Heidenheim currently holds the top position on the table with full points and double the goal difference than Bayren Munich but both the match they have played are against weak teams. When they play against better team, they'd start losing points. Similarly Leverkusen lost a match against RedBull Leipzig which is as strong team. With time, Leverkusen would rise to top 5.
Don't focus too much on some strong teams that can beat them, because sometimes a team that is considered weak and predicted to lose can actually make a surprise. Luck is usually something that speaks volumes in this case, we have seen many matches whose results are determined by luck.

If Kompany can win all the average clubs and lose to Leverkusen and Leipzig, I think he will be able to win the league this season but I don't think that everything will go tossy for him like he expected. In the long run he would be face d with challenges when he has injured players. Kompany have started the season well by winning his matches but that doesn't mean that he has the ability to win the league because I see Leverkusen as a big challenge to him.
The ideal conditions of a strong team are always difficult, but it is not impossible that weak clubs will be easy to beat. This means that predictively, a strong team may lose points, but it can also happen when playing against a weak team. In addition, the long and dense competition allows them to live up to what you call "injury": It's too early to say Munich are league champions this season. But if Munich is one of the candidates for the league title this season I agree.

I think he must have gotten used to this situation a lot in his football career because Kompany is a player who has played with many world stars at Manchester City. He must know how to handle the star players at Bayern Munich because he has come from this business. The Bundesliga is a difficult league but Kompany will get used to it right away, he came here from the center of that difficulty, England.
For two league games Kompany has worked well. He got a maximum of 6 points. But I also see that Bayern Munich has not played against a strong Bundesliga team. Like Leipzig, Leverkusen. So the Kompany exam process has not been tested definitively. They will also feature in the UCL so let's see. It seems that he also wants to prove the doubts of his supporters. So far his winning record is still perfect.
Last season bayan munich lost some points in the beginning and could not recover those points at the end but this season if bayan munich start well and maintain the consistency then surely they can win this league.

Kompany's ball still worked well so far. But i think we're still having problems with the consistency of our players. We looked like a different team in the first half. We looked scary, pressing constantly, and very aggressive. But in the second half, we looked sloppy and exhausted. We're probably having fitness issues.
We have also a problem in our mid when we put Kimmich and Pavlovic to play together. But things changed when Palhinha subbed in. And i think Palhinha needs to start in midfield next to Kimmich. This is because the game went from a complete mess to full control when Palhinha came in. We should not start Pavlovic and Kimmich together.
Nevertheless, the wins against Wolfsburg and Freiburg are a very solid start for us, and hopefully we'll better in the upcoming games.
It was and is for me the first team that will be getting relegated in my opinion and yes they are not ready for the first german league.
There will be maybe a few surprise results that they will be have or making but not more.
I see not really a chance for Holstein Kiel when they will be playing against Bayern Munich to be honest , all others would be a shame for Munich.

Marcel Rapp is a good coach but his club must face more challenges if he wants to improve but he does not have many good stars in his team. A team needs a good squad to be in a good position in the German league and it is not a competition for weak teams in such a big league. However, it is true that a strong team is required to compete in the Bundesliga, which currently Kiel is not as strong, which is why they are in 16th position. However Kiel have played two matches so far and lost both matches badly so their next match against Bayern Munich is not expected.
I cannot agree with your statement. Kompany is really an inexperienced coach. Maybe he can be talented. And with Kompany, Bayern Munich can improve. Even so, Kompany is an inexperienced coach. And his past record is not good either. Kompany previously coached Burnley. But the performance of this team was very poor. The team could not even qualify for the Premier League this season.
Two seasons ago, Thiago Motta and Xabi Alonso began their jobs at Leverkusen and Bologna in doubt of the crowd and we witnessed their success last season. With Leverkusen, they won Bundesliga with an unbelievable unbeaten season and with Bologna they ended in top four of Serie A.Vicent Kompany used to be a good player and played for Manchester City, worked with many world class coaches and won many titles, it means he got enough experience throughout his career and can use it for his coach career. The European football is witness a new wave of young coach generation like Simeone Inzaghi, Alonso, Motta, Montella, Febregasc who were star players just 10 and 20 years ago. Vicent Kompany can be a next young coach arises in this season with his first big club, Bayern Munich.

However, Bayern Munich management still have faith in Kompany. Bayern Munich's squad is also very strong. Kompany has a chance to do well with this squad. But it is not possible to say for sure that Bayern Munich will do well and win the title next season. Perhaps we can see some improvement in Bayern Munich's performance compared to last season.
He will be given enough time to do his job in Bayern Munich and winning Bundesliga will be one of his tasks, others including going far in Champions League and if possible, win that trophy. With many star players in Bayern Munich, Kompany actually has a very good working environment to do his job well. 
Bayern management continues to experiment with risky coaching positions such as trusting Tuchel last season and this time trusting Kompany, to be honest, looking at Kompany's history, i'm not sure he will be able to bring Bayern to the top, he is still quite young and has never won a trophy with the teams he coached before, i don't know how Bayern management sees the potential of a coach now.
Another interesting fact, Dortmund is also trying to use the services of a young coach, the trend in coaches in the Bundesliga is young coaches.
In my opinion so far Kompany deserves to be in the Bayern Munich coaching chair from what he has shown in two matches has been enough to convince me that he is able to provide competition in the Bundesliga, and can he restore Munich's glory and be able to lift the trophy? Let time answer that. we just give him a chance and enjoy the process he is doing, no need to hesitate and conclude as if a young coach will not be able to have a significant impact. Let's look at the example of Leverkusen under the guidance of Xabi Alonso they can develop. This also applies to Kompany and other young coaches in the Bundesliga.Another interesting fact, Dortmund is also trying to use the services of a young coach, the trend in coaches in the Bundesliga is young coaches.
We know that if not because Bayern Munich defined last season and Bayer Leverkusen took over, Bayern Munich would over be the people we will be looking up to to get the trophy this season again, so let watch and see if there will be changes from last season.

But it was not enough to win the Bundesliga and Champions League titles. Bayern Munich's performance needs to be stronger. If not, the team will lag behind in the Champions League competition.
This season things are very different from last season, Leverkusen are not the same invincible team they were last season, to see they are not the same team they were last season:
Leverkusen played 2 games, won only 1, conceded 5 goals, scored 5 goals. The problem with that is that Leverkusen didn't play against very strong teams, although Leipzig is a good team, they are not candidates for the title, that's why I don't consider Leipzig to be a very strong team, they are strong, but not very strong. So conceding 5 goals in just 2 games is a huge disaster, it's hard for a team to win a league with a very weak defense like Leverkusen's, but Bayern played 2 games, won 2, conceded only 2 goals, scored 5 goals. It clearly shows that Bayern will be champions this season, and they will beat Leverkusen when they face each other.
There will always be changes every season, be it for the better or for the worse, even consistent teams will experience this, it's just a little change that they experience. We can't always expect the same appearance from a team every season, especially if it's without a defeat, it's clearly something that is very difficult and can even be said to be something impossible to do again.Leverkusen played 2 games, won only 1, conceded 5 goals, scored 5 goals. The problem with that is that Leverkusen didn't play against very strong teams, although Leipzig is a good team, they are not candidates for the title, that's why I don't consider Leipzig to be a very strong team, they are strong, but not very strong. So conceding 5 goals in just 2 games is a huge disaster, it's hard for a team to win a league with a very weak defense like Leverkusen's, but Bayern played 2 games, won 2, conceded only 2 goals, scored 5 goals. It clearly shows that Bayern will be champions this season, and they will beat Leverkusen when they face each other.
Now Bayern Munich is preparing to reclaim what they lost last season, honestly I believe Bayern Munich will win the title again than I believe in Leverkusen who can maintain an unbeaten record. because in my opinion it is twice as difficult when compared to Bayern Munich who are used to being champions in the Bundesliga. This is just a realistic view.

If Kompany can win all the average clubs and lose to Leverkusen and Leipzig, I think he will be able to win the league this season but I don't think that everything will go tossy for him like he expected. In the long run he would be face d with challenges when he has injured players. Kompany have started the season well by winning his matches but that doesn't mean that he has the ability to win the league because I see Leverkusen as a big challenge to him. However, it must also be admitted that Bayern Munich with Kompany is currently making progress even though at first he was underestimated but now he is taken into account by his opponents. Kompany has succeeded in igniting a new spirit for Bayern Munich players. Bayern Munich are slowly becoming a solid team under Kompany's guidance in the Bundesliga and their progress has been good after they failed to retain their title last season against Leverkusen.
For the third week, it seems that Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig and Stuttgart can secure full points, because the opponents they will face are relatively easier. Meanwhile, for the next two weeks before the Champions League starts, they can focus fully on the Bundesliga, preparing themselves well so that they can have a stable performance in every competition. Bayern Munich and Dortmund who have more experience in the Champions League seem to have no trouble with the change in match format, they are used to the pressure of a tight match schedule.
We realize Kompany has no experience coaching in the Champions League, the journey there could be very unstable, but with the depth of the squad he has, it seems Kompany can handle it well. Of course every manager has their own scale of priorities, they also have demands that must be prioritized, most likely they will prioritize winning domestic trophies.
