I'm not sure Arteta and Xabi Alonso will field their best squad in this match, as we know, this is a friendly match, whatever the result will not affect both teams. Arsenal and Leverkusen are big teams, but the game they play is not a big one because there is no trophy at stake. Both coaches will mix their squads with young players and some senior players, maybe Granit Xhaka will get a chance to play in this game, but Xabi Alonso will not force Xhaka to play the full 90.

The pre-season match is just a warm-up before the official match starts, the coach will not take any risks in this match, preparing the core players for the official match is more important than forcing them to exhaust their energy in a friendly match. In my opinion, neither Arteta nor Xabi Alonso will care too much about what results their team will achieve, they will only focus on talented young players who can help the first team when needed.

Is this the right move from Dortmund to sign Pascal Groß?

The 33-year-old seems to provide a more creative midfield and will certainly help in every aspect of attack to defense. His statistics while with Brighton are also unusual where he contributed 4 goals and 10 assists last season and even since his first season at Brighton he has always been consistent with contributing an average of 5 goals and 5 assists or more each season.

I think here Dortmund have secured one of the good midfielders to develop the performance of their squad next season and of course they also secure a deadly free kick taker with Pascal Groß.

The meeting between Arsenal and Leverkusen is indeed very important considering that both coaches of these clubs need a lot of experiments, both Arsenal and Leverkusen certainly can't wait to measure the extent of the difference in their respective strengths. Arteta is an ambitious coach who not only wants to conquer Pep Guardiola in terms of tactics but seeing Leverkusen record certainly makes him enthusiastic because Xabi Alonso has turned Leverkusen into a club that should be feared later in the Champions League. Regarding Xhaka, so far he has developed rapidly at Leverksuen, because at Arsenal his role was not too dominant but in the hands of Xabi Alonso Xhaka's skills became an important factor in Leverkusen's attack line. Imagine how motivated Xhaka is to show Arsenal what he can do for his former club.

Can't be sure if Leverkusen can still have the same performance in the next season when Bayern Munich is using the new coach however can't expect to see a miracle from Kompaney in he next season because he is not experienced enough.
However, Leverkusen is also trying to get improved by hiring more players and this can make this team more powerful for the next season when they will also play in the Champions League.

It’s a pre season game but it will definitely be an interesting game aside the fact that Xhaka will get to meet his old teammates. We can’t say for sure who will win this game because Leverkusen are now on a whole different level and they can also be regarded as a big team now from what they did last season. It will definitely be a good test for Arsenal and also Leverkusen to see how far they have prepared themselves, it may not go as we expect because in a preseason game a lot of players are given opportunity to prove themselves and so lots of changes will be made which will make the game to turn out differently.

Arteta vs Alonso will be a fixture i will want to see again when the season begins.

Indeed, if the comparison is Kompany, it is certain that the pressure is higher, especially with Bayern's status which is undoubtedly a champion subscription, it is certain that the burden from Kompany is very heavy later, but it will also remain for Nuri Sahin because after all Dortmund is a pretty good club in the Bundesliga even they have always held the status of rivals for Bayern until now.
It seems that we realize for now it seems that apart from the era of players who are starting to rejuvenate now the coach is also experiencing the same conditions where the coaches of the big clubs in the Bundesliga now they prefer to take young coaches because apart from Nuri Sahin and Kompany at this time of course there is the name Xabi at Leverkusen and Sebastian Hoeneß who made the performance of VfB very different last season making the coaches quite young seem to be quite attractive for now.

This is interesting match because finally after moved to Leverkusen Granit Xhaka will fight against his former team Arsenal and during last season both teams had impressive performance because although Arsenal failed to gets the trophies but they can joining with Manchester City for race title of Premier League and for Leverkusen we all know they can gets double winner last season with the records 51 times unbeated

So far Arsenal and Leverkusen have been met on 2002 for friendly match at that time Arsenal can win with the final scores 4-1 but we cannot used this statistics again as the reference because i am sure the condition of both teams is quite different especially for Leverkusen because i am sure they more stronger and solid compared to that year and i haven't checked the odds yet for them but i assume the bookmakers will provide high odds for them and Arsenal as the favourite team

But because this is friendly match so most likely whether it Arsenal or Leverkusen will playing with some of their young players and reserved players so that's why the results of this match could be unpredictable but in the term of scores goals Arsenal and Leverkusen is productive teams so i think both teams will be displayed attacking style in this match and for betting option i think over 2.5 goals is good

The match is going to be interesting to watch because both teams are going to play well, I can’t wait to see Granit Xhaka playing against his former team, but let's be honest arsenal made a big mistake by letting Xhaka go, Xhaka is among the players that make Leverkusen win the league last season, if you disagree with me you should go and check Leverkusen players that perform well last season and you will know what I’m saying, Xhaka leads Leverkusen to win trophies and also help his country because if you look at Switzerland games in Euro Xhaka is the one who is holding the middle position for Switzerland and he wins man of the match in many of the matches in Euro league.

Well, we all will see what will happen if Leverkusen plays against Arsenal, I know that Arsenal is a good team and they can do everything just to stop any team from defeating them in pre-season games but when it comes to the premier league and champion league arsenal will not play well to win a trophy, I like arsenal but with the way arsenal is playing against some big teams I don’t think if they play against Leverkusen they are going to win unless Leverkusen players are not complete in the match.

Bayer Leverkusen clear everyone's doubt after winning the Bundesliga title with unbeaten records which is actively regarded as the best team in Germany. Bayern Munich doesn't seem to be competitive for next season because they've a new coach who's yet to settled in, perhaps we should not underestimate the Bavarians because they've good players that are capable to enchanced the club's status.

Next season, definitely a competitive one, never to relenting efforts coming from these elite clubs. We're looking closely at Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen because they're the serious elite clubs keen on winning major titles. Also, I personally have a review about the performance and stats of Bayer Leverkusen, they might as well dropped in form based on their anticipation in other major tournaments like the UEFA Champions League, a little bit of distraction from the Bundesliga I think.

First of all, Bayern must play consistently as it always has, but if they start losing points again with not the most difficult opponents, then Bayer can catch the courage again. Bayer spent last season not feeling competition in the Bundesliga, but I think that if Bayern does not allow this and the teams move very close, then Bayer will not be able to defend their title of champion. I think that Bayern will be able to regain the title, and Bayer will return to the usual game and usual results, and last season was an exception for them. I do not believe that Alonso will become a coach who can break Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga.

You are right, Leverkusen performed brilliantly last season. We were all very surprised by such a great performance from Leverkusen. Breaking Bayern Munich's dominance and becoming Bundesliga champions was a tough task for Leverkusen. But with the help of Xabi Alonso, the Leverkusen team was able to do this difficult task. Leverkusen was 18 points ahead of Bayern Munich at the end of the season. This is an incredible gap.

However, it cannot be said for sure whether Leverkusen will play well next season. Because even though Leverkusen is the Bundesliga champion, it is still a mediocre team. There is no such star player in Leverkusen's squad. So it will be difficult for Leverkusen to dominate the Bundesliga next season. Moreover, Leverkusen will play in the Champions League next season. It is difficult to consistently perform well in every match in the Champions League and Bundesliga. Moreover, it is much more difficult to consistently perform well on a busy schedule. This is why I think it will be more difficult for Leverkusen to win the championship next season.

Bayer Leverkusen were champions last season but they might not be champions next season and their biggest hurdle will be Bayern Munich. Bayan Munich did not have so many plans with this team, but after this team's great performance last season, Bayer Munich is definitely planning more with Bayer Leverkusen. Even if Bayer Leverkusen did not win the championship, there is no reason to consider this team's position at the very bottom of the points table. If Bayer Leverkusen can play their usual game, they could still be in second or third place in the points table.  

The season hasn't started yet but I'd say as per my prediction that if Bayern Munich don't play according to plan then Bayer Leverkusen will have a chance to advance.  

The beginning of the season is very important for every team, if the teams do not perform well in the beginning then they cannot close the points gap later on and come to the top of the points table.

I think this match is quite difficult to predict Arsenal is a tough Premier League club but Leverkusen also cannot be underestimated this club performed consistently last season so a fair result for both might be a draw, but once again the pre-season match cannot be used as a benchmark for clubs to see their performance better or not anyway in the end they might meet again in the Champions League if they are in the same group where the match is more serious than now.

Instead I actually can't wait to see it the new season to start and just waiting a few more weeks we will soon witness it which is certainly more exciting than a friendly match we will see Bundesliga clubs fighting to show their best, do you think Leverkusen still has the ability to win the title again next season??

Arsenal will have a good fight. Leverkusen are a great team and they gained great experience last year. I wonder if Leverkusen can continue this fight this year. Maybe the friendly will be a preview of that. It will be a good fight for both Arsenal and Leverkusen. It will be great to watch.

You might be right that Leverkusen will take the match against Arsenal lightly. And it has potential. Because the Leverkusen coach would certainly not want any key player in his squad to suffer an injury in pre-season matches. That would be too risky for Leverkusen. So Leverkusen will certainly perform very cautiously.

But Xabi Alonso will certainly want to test the strength of his squad. It remains to be seen if this squad is as strong as last season. Since the Bundesliga champions are now the Leverkusen team. So naturally, Leverkusen will want to dominate the Bundesliga next season as well. So Xabi Alonso will take all the necessary steps to find out the weaknesses of the squad.

I will be happy if the Leverkusen team continues this great performance next season. Because for 12-13 long years we always saw the dominance of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. And before the start of the season we knew that Bayern Munich would be the champions of the Bundesliga. And all the other teams were only playing for Champions League qualification. But Leverkusen's impressive performances last season broke Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. After a long time we got to see a new champion team in the Bundesliga.

Xabi Alonso has played the most important role behind this overall change of Leverkusen. Hopefully the Leverkusen team will perform better with the help of Alonso in the next season as well. If the team can perform consistently well in Leverkusen, it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to win the title next season. And the Bundesliga will also become very competitive.

This is a big game between two big clubs and I expect that we’ll see the best out of this match, it’s going to be a very tough one. Xhaka left Arsenal to become a legend in Bayern Leverkusen leading them to win their first ever trophy of the Bundesliga. They’re all gearing up for the next season because it’s going to be a very tough one for both sides. They’ll both be playing in the champions league next season, so I expect that they give each other a tough time before a win comes out from this match. I will put them on the same level, so I think the match will just be even and the best out of them will take the win.

I can't wait for Bayern Leverkusen to meet Arsenal in the pre-season,where we will see the likes of Arsenal legend Granit Xhaka play against his former team, Arsenal.I know Leverkusen are very good,and this kind of test is what Arsenal needs to see whether they are improving or Leverkusen will flog them.Well,in my opinion,I think that match against those two clubs are very good,therefore they will  share points.
We know that Arsenal will not let any team win them in the pre-season, therefore,if Arsenal cannot win,they will try to get a draw.

It's too soon to say anything about Kompany yet, these are not serious games and the team could have these kind of results, but it would definitely be good for morale if we end up with something much better before the season starts. The point of playing against a much weaker team during friendly games is that you end up playing awesome, you see how it feels when all goes according to plan, that way you trust the plan and you know the strategy and you look for the same thing on the real games when they start.

However, if you end up missing all that, and you end up with a tie like this, it instils fear and doubt into the players about the tactic and the strategy. This is why I  do not think that it makes sense for anyone to have this kind of result, I am not really planning on doing anything stupid and just say it didn't matter neither, it didn't matter much, but it wasn't zero neither, I believe it was definitely something that could be done eventually. What I think is the case here is that we could make it work some other way, it is going to end up with some trouble one way or another and we are going to end up with a lot of issues, it is not going to be all that easy to handle at all.

It is very normal for friendly matches to end with such results. Sometimes the team that is not the favorite can win the match. Bundesliga is a tough league and every team will need to prepare in the best way possible and start the league. In friendly matches, coaches can try different tactics, different formations, different squads, this is very natural. The important thing is not to encounter such surprising results in the real tournament.
