Xabi managed to save Leverkusen and today they are Bundesliga championship candidates. I actually didn't hear much about his coaching career. Since he managed to bring Leverkusen to appear extraordinary I just saw it. It turns out that before Leverkusen Xabi only coached two junior teams Real Madrid and Sociedad. Xabi with Leverkusen just joined 2022 and this seems to be his 2nd season. This means that it won't take him long to get the best performance and he doesn't need many star players. But with the current conditions, Xabi has been linked with many big clubs, especially Bayern Munich.

People once again praised Harry Kane's great performance in last night's match after helping Bayern Munich secure victory at home with the brace he scored against Leipzig. Initially, it was quite doubtful to see Bayern Munich having so much trouble against Leipzig, even though if you look at the meeting as a whole, Bayern Munich can always dominate the results with a landslide victory.

But what we saw last night makes us know that Bayern Munich are not in good condition after the two consecutive defeats they received and they have to try their best to secure 3 points at home. Luckily they have a great striker who they managed to recruit last summer and he became the hero in this match. Harry Kane has currently collected 27 with Bayern Munich and it is certain that he will be the Bundesliga's top scorer this season.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league. Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience.

 Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season. Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've lost twice in a row and it's kept the ints between them and Leverkusen. Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

Leverkusen was able to win as expected against Mainz. They were able to break the deadlock from the very start of the match. See them concede in the 7th minute of the match. But in the end, all that matters is that they were able to get the three points. 2-1 is the final score in favor of Leverkusen. It would have been better if they were able to keep a clean sheet.

But at this point, they have a good point advantage over Bayern Munich.  So I believe they should concentrate on getting more points instead of keeping a clean sheet. So I will say that they are moving forward in the right direction.  Right now the point difference with Bayern Munich is 11. Let's see if Bayern Munich can decrease that difference

I really like every prediction you say here is very reasonable and I think this gives Dortmund a chance to get 3 easy points because Hoffenheim is currently missing a lot of players to injuries so I wouldn't be surprised if you said in the second half of the season Hoffenheim have not given a good performance because a large number of injured players make a club worse off.
Looking at the historical records that you say, Hoffenheim has never been able to beat Dortmund, never even holding a draw and that means Dortmund really has a guarantee of winning this match and the odds @1.44 for me are quite big as a favorite club. .

This time I will not hesitate to place a bet on Dortmund's win because it is clear that Hoffenheim's player injuries are having a negative impact on the club's performance.
Even though Gregor Kobel is injured, Dortmund still has Alexander Meyer who can replace his position and Alexander Meyer actually also has quite the same performance as Gregor Kobel.

As good as Harry Kane's finish was, you have to expect that from a player of his stature. What goes a little under the radar with the goal is the excellent pass from Eric Dier to Chupo-Moting, who in turn receives the long pass on the left and plays it to Kane in the center, who then finishes off the move.

It is very natural for Bayern Munich to win but with a narrow victory. Because of the similar problems faced by Bayern as in the previous season, they are always complacent and careless. They need more hungry players who want to win like Kane. Other players barely try when they fall behind.

It is true that Bayern Munich's ability to win the Bundesliga trophy this season is a little difficult because Leverkusen has been impressive this season, but Kane is still trying to win his first trophy. Even though he was unable to break the "Tottenham curse" this season, he is still the club's savior. He created a lot of threats in this match against Leipzig, he is truly a world class striker. I still hope he can give new hope to Bayern Munich by beating Lazio in the second leg of the UCL league.

They needed to win so they made sure it was an all attacking second half of the game for themselves and for the fans. Would have been a difficult situation for Thomas Tuchel if he had lost that game.
Thanks to Harry Kane who double the goals last night to secure three points for his teammates and club. Funny he's helped Thomas Tuchel as he as indirectly waged pressure off his shoulders.

Liepzig are also gambling around, they should be careful because come next season they could lose players like Xavi Simons, Opneda and Benjamin Sesko.

That last winner from Harry Kane was wonderful, he left the goalkeeper trying and helpless. It was a good strike with the right power and technique.

Leipzig isn't a weak team that shouldn't be underestimated I know Bayern Munich is also a tough team but they have not been in their very best of form and performance in recent times so I knew they would literally struggle with Leipzig and may even end in a draw because the confidence of Bayern Munich seem like it's not at this point very much in place because they have suffered losses recently especially with teams that would be considered weak normally.

Leipzig hasn't been really been bad in their form and performance but has been in an average form and performance so far so I expected they will definitely try to resist Bayern Munich and they literally had a goalless first half and ended the second half with two goals, Bayern Munich had their winning goal in the second half of the game at almost the end of the game, it was in the added time that Bayern Munich got their winning goal els they would have had to share points with Leipzig in last night game. Bayern Munich is really not having the kind of performance that will get them to the top of the table but the form that will make them settle around top four and be able to still get back on the champions league competition next season but Leverkusen keeps soaring higher at the top position and increasing their potential to be crowned the winners of the title.

The term curse is actually just a strong allusion to Kane whose fate is never to lift a trophy. I think everyone recognizes Kane greatness you could say that he is a hero without a crown but in the world of football a trophy is still a trophy that is public recognition of his achievements. Now by responding to the situation where Bayern Munich failed to defend the trophy the addition of Tottenham players has become an appropriate phenomenon. Not only Kane there is another Spurs player at Bayern Munich namely Eric Dier so whether it is a curse or not it is worthy of comparison for Bayern Munich this season.

I was quite impressed with what Xabi Alonso did at Bayer Leverkusen, his initial presence at this club was not as impressive as other famous coaches who usually enter a new team in their coaching career, and also his movements in the transfer market were not as exciting as other elite clubs who provided hundreds of millions of euros so that the new coach can build a team according to his wishes, but the results given by Xabi Alonsos can be said to exceed all famous coaches because he only needed two seasons to improve his team's performance and became one to be reckoned with in the local league and also the favorite in European competition, so when Jose Mourinho said that Xabi Alonso would be one of the best coaches it was quite reasonable and so far it has been proven.'
He will be the target of many other big clubs next season, and he might leave Bayer Leverkusen, but choosing the right club will really affect his career later because if he chooses a club he won't be able to freely build his dream team like he can do at Bayer Leverkusen will be very unpleasant, because I'm pretty sure he will leave this club, even if not next season, but at least in the next one to two seasons there will be news that he is a coach at another elite club, maybe Real Madrid, although there are rumors about Liverpool but not close to the possibility of going to Bayern Munich, especially Bayern, which is no longer with Tuchel

Leipzig really fought to the very end but their efforts is just not enough this time. Although, the refree was in some cases bias but it is the nature of football, you can not always play well, accurately and win forever. Leipzig problem right now is the front who are not capable of scoring goals and the couch make things worse in the last five minutes of the game by making that three changes. I don't know what the motive behind it but it's a very wrong decision. The defeat was unnecessary but it is basically not a shame to lose 2-1 in Munich. There's still a high chance for them to make it to top 4 because Dortmund still has cracks on their chest. If Leipzig can play consistently and not allowing to give out points anymore, finishing in the top 4 is very much possible.


Majority of people see him and Tuchel as the bad luck to the team but joke aside, if Bayern doesn't get a single title this season, it means 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles are broken during their era, that could definitely mean something terrible. Sometimes, I do wonder why people still refer to him as a curse despite scoring goals and being the top scorer so far in this league. It's very obvious that without Kane this season, Bayern's title dream would have been long forgotten and probably be in the mid table by now.

Leipzig is one of the strongest clubs in the Bundesliga so it is not surprising that Bayern Muncih has to work even harder to win this match. In the first half, it was quite visible how Bayern Munich had great difficulty getting a goal, they even had difficulty penetrating Leipzig's defense deeper, as a result they had to play without a goal in the first half. In the second half they tried to improve their strategy, the results were quite good because they managed to score a goal in the 56th minute, at least it made them more relieved because they could penetrate the defense that Leipzig had built. However, in the 70th minute, Leipzig was able to score a goal, making the match draw again. I think this will be a match that ends in a draw, but Bayern Munich could be lucky enough to score a goal in added time.

This season they don't look like previous seasons, usually they are very superior in the number of goals they can score, but this season they don't look like that, in fact in several matches they failed to score goals. I don't know what's wrong with them, because they also have good players on the front line, but in fact their teamwork is not as good as in the previous season. Is this because the strategy they implemented is not working well or is there something else that is preventing them from being as optimal as they are now?

I don't have much expectation from Bayern Munich to make a huge surprise from now on. It seems like their title streak is finally coming to an end (thankfully!). 

The game they played against Leipzig wasn't convincing at all. Kane was really the savior there otherwise they were about to lose points once again. Leverkusen players are fully believing in getting the title this season. There is a great chemistry between the players and Xabi Alonso. This must be it. I don't want to get disappointed with a similar situation to Dortmund's missing the title opportunity. You know how they messed up while they were so close.

Munich managed to win again after 3 consecutive defeats in all competitions, Munich current position in the league is of course far from the expectations of management and fans because they are 99% certain to fail to win the Bundesliga trophy and this has definitely put Tuchel on the verge of being fired, not just in league, currently even Munich has the opportunity to be eliminated from the champions league after the negative results they got in the 1st leg, indeed the 0-1 aggregate against Lazio is not a big thing for a club as big as munchen, however, Lazio is now only focused on the champions league to achieve the trophy, off course will not allow Bayern Munich to score just like that, I am quite sure that Lazio will try their best to maintain their lead by trying to get draw result in the second leg.

Despite winning against Leipzig, Munich's performance was not very good. And winning the title this season is almost impossible for Bayern Munich. But if leverkusen lose the truck and lose a few matches in a row, maybe the Munich team can climb back to the top of the table. At the same time, Munich lost against Lazio in the first leg of the Champions League.

For these reasons, the chances of seeing Tuchel with Munich next season are very unlikely. Even if Tuchle does not leave Munich, Munich will probably fire Tuchel and hire a new coach. But we still don't know which coach Munich is interested in. Bayern Munich management could make an offer to Zidan or Mourinho.

Some say that this is a curse brought by Harry Kane but i don't believe in that because after all Bayern plays with 11 players but doesn't only depend on one person.  Harry Kane is a pretty good striker but every attack he breaks easily, it's all because the opposing team focuses on guarding him, When facing Leipzig yesterday, Harry Kane performed well, and managed to escape several traps from Leipzig's back line until finally successfully scoring 2 goals.

In the 70 minute of play, Leipzig equalized the goal, but in the additional time Bayern Munich have a late victory. Bayern Munich played very well against Leipzig and they deserved to win the game. With his two goals that gave the team the victory, Harry Kane is gaining confidence. I think Tuchel should be doing this in every game. If the first half goes poorly, they should switch up their game plan in the second half to attack the opponents more. With Kane, i believe Bayern Munich will win more games, but they will never be able to challenge Leverkusen for the title because of the eight points that separates them.

I expect Bayern Munich to play at this level in their Champions League second leg against Lazio. After losing their first away game, I don't think they can lose at home. It won't be easy for Bayern Munich if they fail to qualify to the next round because the fans won't be happy with it. Tuchel needs to do better in their remaining games because if the team notices any changes, they might decide to allow him stay for another year.

Yeah you are right Borussia Dortmund has been unbeaten for there last 12 matches although they have won only four matches and draws eight matches and they currently maintain the fourth position on the Bundesliga table, however if they had win most of the matches they had draw they would have actually be on the second position on this league because right now they seem more in a good shape than Bayern Munich because considering how Bochum was able to easily beat Bayern Munich and how easy Bochum is to Borussia Dortmund on there last meeting that Borussia Dortmund score them 3-1, perhaps this shows that Borussia Dortmund is a bit better than Bayern Munich but it was unfortunate for them because of there series of draws on there previous matches that brought them down from advancing the way they are supposed to be, so perhaps what they need now is to be more consistent on wining there matches instead of draws because that's the only way they will have enough points that will push them up. However on there match today against Hoffenheim Borussia Dortmund has more advantage over Hoffenheim because they have more quality players and there performance is also more better, so I have a conferent they will win the match.

In the context of the season,  with only 11 rounds remaining, the opportunity for Thomas Tuchel and his team to reverse the situation is challenging. Kane received a lot of criticism after an unconvincing performance in two losses against Lazio and Bochum. After all, he spoke up at the right time when the home team needed it. Harry Kane affirmed that Bayern Munich will not give up the championship race even though they are far behind Bayer Leverkusen in the rankings. He scored twice to give Bayern Munich a breathtaking 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig. Kane may be the top scorer this season, but the collective title could still elude him once again. Besides, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is another bright spot for Bayern this match. He made two great saves against Amadou Haidara and Benjamin Sesko. In general, the team is only temporary and cannot yet promote the strength of the defending champion.
