Dortmund has the same issue this season as they had last season and when you see how they are doing compared to any team from the top five, for me they are the weakest. They have had some extremely questionable wins, which put them into the position they are now in, but it also makes it most likely for them to be out of luck at some point. Leverkusen and Bayern have in most cases somehow dominated the games. The same isn't true for Dortmund. Even Bayern looks shaky in some games, but they have this almost built in guarantee that they can start winning games if they have to. The drama created around them doesn't always reflect how they are playing relative to their competitors. Dortmund has had this one streak now that I think also saved Terzic' job. I think there were some mind games going on behind the scenes already.

I've totally excluded Borrusia Dortmund from the lists of teams that's competitive for the Bundesliga title, they just have to stay still and become a better version of themselves, that's fundamentally how to grow when one deals with system. Bayer Leverkusen have proven to be more consistent than Bayern Munich this season and they're still on streak unbeaten and there entire focus is winning the Bundesliga title this season. Xabi Alonso is involved, things will change for the better for the club, I'm happy atleast we will be watching top competitive race between both players.

Leverkusen currently has what it takes to be the trophy earners this season, they've superceded Dortmund, Leipzig and even currently Bayern Munich. 4points above Munich is very much tangible to some extent to keep them where they wish to be. Although the weekend game would determine the next level that both teams will be in.

 For Leverkusen, they've got a tough weekend and they have to maintain a win in order to remain top, the odds are shaky as their opponent Dortmund is a good size too. Maybe the host advantage will do the trick for Leverkusen but nonetheless, I still have confidence in them.  For Munich, they have an upper hand against Berlin and they stand a chance to come top again. There are still weeks ahead for the two sides to prove themselves so we await Alonso's best of the bests in his team.

Definitely this has to be the toughest part of been at the top of the table, the responsibility becomes even bigger because nat every slightest drop in point, they will be displaced by their biggest rival Bayern Munich who is closely behind them on the league table.

Leverkusen must make sure to continually win their subsequent matches such that they will be points ahead of Bayern Munich but this will be effective if only it turns out Bayern Munich losses their games as Bayern Leverkusen keeps winning but then one of the greatest test Bayern Leverkusen will be facing soonest will have to be that of winning Bayern Munich probably in their next meeting which I anticipate soonest.

For now yes it looks like that Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will make the race for title but there are so many games there can change a lot.
Maybe Dortmund will join the race at some stage when playing better hopefully at some stage.
I still believe that making that comeback in the second half of the season.

Oh, I thought we were talking about their performance, for sure Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have their respective position and they are great in the task that has been given to them for Xavi Alonso meticulously look at each player's strengths and weaknesses to be given the role and Xavi Alonso was great in that kind of aspect and as a experienced player aswell he knows what he will do and what he is doing,

But regarding Victor Boniface and Jonas Hofmann, I am talking about their performance and not their position just saying this to clear it up and to tell you that you have a point and I agree with it all,


The sad truth about Union Berlin is after that last season's blowout performance they thought that they could make it this season sadly they were just good last season Union Berlin started in the Bundesliga 2019-2020, and they ended in the standings in the 11th position, 2020-2021 the Union Berlin landed on the 7th position, in the 2021-2022 Union Berlin get it done again in the 5th position, and in 2022-2023 the Union Berlin got so high in the 4th position, for sure you are thinking that the Union Berlin might get it done in this season, but they are now the worst team there is in the Bundesliga but for sure maybe replacing Nenad Bjelica was not the right choice, and now they ended crashing down and for sure after 4 seasons in the Bundesliga they are now getting relegated back in the 2nd division,

Of course it will be quite interesting for everyone, and it will be a pride for Leverkusen fans too because only they club are able to break Bayern Munich dominance. But they still have a lot of matches, and surely it won't be easy for them. I think in the next January transfer window, Leverkusen must get new players to add a depth their squad, and that will help Xabi in maintain Leverkusen performance.

I hope so, Leverkusen must continue their positive trend in the match vs Dortmund, especially this match will also be played in front of their supporters. It would be very disappointing if Leverkusen could not get full points, because yes if Leverkusen can't get winning then that result would also open the gates for Bayern Munich to take over their place.

Serhou Guirassy was the leading scorer when the season started and broke some records when he was smashing in goals and had Harry Kane trailing behind him. He got unlucky and picked up an injury which is not only bad for his chase to became the highest goal scorer but also created a lot of problems for Stuttgart has they couldn’t cope with him their Talisman. They lost two to three matches in his absence and that’s why they are some points behind the league leaders and third on log. I still think Guirassy will chase Harry Kane till the end but beating him to the goal scorer award is something I don’t see happening because of the quality team Kane is in.

The shocking thing about Union Berlin is that they did not lose some superstar players neither. I have seen teams who do great one season, then bigger clubs buy their star players for a lot of money, and those smaller clubs end up going down a million times before.

However, when you look at the situation right now you get to see that they are not really doing all that shocking well and yet they did not sell any star players they had neither. In fact, they got better players than last year during the summer as well, so in theory they should be doing better right now and yet the yare not. I think it could be quite important to notice that you are going to have some trouble one way or another if you are not careful. The best thing to do for them is to just keep grinding and trying their best.

Dominance will become the only thing that will make the difference between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen this season. Bayern Munich chances of winning the Bundesliga title this season have turn to become a 50/50 probability because the league have turn out to become a fierce competition between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso is experienced and knows basically what to expects from his oppositions in upcoming games while Thomas Tuchel on the other hand will also ginger Bayern Munich to continue pushing for prominent results in matches.

I was also surprised to see the performance of the Union Berlin team which immediately slumped this season even though last season Union Berlin was quite good in the Bundesliga. And in the near future Union Berlin will also face Bayern Munich and I think Union Berlin will also be beaten again by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena so that Union Berlin will again face a quite difficult match and will not get any points.

This is of course very surprising to many people because Union Berlin is a team that entered the UCL competition with good performance last season, but who knows what makes Union Berlin worse this season, where it is even very difficult to win in many matches. It seems like there are many things that Union Berlin needs to improve if they don't want to be relegated from the Bundesliga.

If Laverkusen later become the new champions in the Bundesliga, then I think that is quite interesting for everyone. Because they managed to break Bayern Munchen dominance after holding out for a long time, and indeed this can be understood as Bayern setback. In an effort to become a title contender, the Laverkusen versus Dortmund match will be very interesting to wait for, because it will greatly influence the placement of first position in the standings. Talking about the performance of these two clubs, it is clear that Laverkusen appears as a team that deserves to be superior in the match, but Dormund will not stand idly by in the hope of stealing points at their opponent's home ground.

Xabi Alonso wants to ensure that the top of the standings means everything to them, in the hunt for the Bundesliga trophy this season. Because Bayern is always ready to overtake him all the time, and now this opportunity will be quite open if Dortmund succeeds in becoming a stumbling block for Laverkusen. However, I think Laverkusen positive trend will not stop next week, and they have a big chance to secure 3 points in front of their own fans by beating Dortmund. If so, Bayern still has to be patient for a while, and Dortmund must be willing to be displaced by Leipzig.

Yes it's true I also saw that Union Berlin had quite a hard time at the beginning of the season when Urs Ficsher was there and in addition there was a new coach who came, so of course I think Union Berlin's slump is still quite reasonable because of the new coach who certainly still needs a lot of time to be able to adapt to the players completely, I think this is a process, and for how long this adjustment process lasts I honestly don't know but certainly this is a matter of time, we'll see maybe next season Nenad Bjelica will really be able to apply all the formulas he has to the players as well while building chemistry for cohesiveness. And yes that's right, with Union Berlin now almost at the bottom of the table I hope Nenad Bjelica will be able to save his team a little to at least not end up in the relegation zone.

Xabi Alonso has quite a big responsibility in maintaining the performance and consistency of his squad, the threat from Bayern Munich does not play - play and at all costs Xabi Alonso must still maintain the position of his squad at the top of the standings, so the difference of 2 points I think it is still far from safe for Leverkusen, because if Leverkusen slipped in one of the next matches then obviously it was a golden opportunity for Tuchel's squad. We'll see if Leverkusen can be that strong.

Well, isn't this what we want. if the Bundesliga offers a competition that is a little more exciting than before. So far, Dortmund has always been Bayern's strongest competitor. If only Dortmund were able to win matchday 34, Beyern Munich's dominance would be over. I mean, the title they have achieved so far can be broken. But in fact, last season's luck still belonged to Bayern Munich. Now there is a new team that is Bayern's competitor, namely Bayer Leverkusen, aren't we currently being presented with a slightly different show from the Bundesliga.

Last season, Leverkusen was ranked 6th. and in fact, Stuttgart must go through the playoffs first to return to competing in the Bundesliga. Now that they have entered week 12, Stuttgart remains in the top four of the standings. even Leipzig had to struggle to climb the rankings, and get rid of the teams that were in their rankings. Frankfurt, Freiburg, Union Berlin, now who knows where. I mean, some of these teams are struggling to perform like they did last season.
But make no mistake, Bayern Munich is now much stronger than last season. As for the results of their matches at the start of the season, and several draws, statistically this was solely due to Sven Ulreich's performance which was not very reliable, especially in crucial matches. So far, Bayern's probability of retaining the trophy is still quite high.
For me, it's only a matter of time for them to be at the top of the standings. well, unless Alonso is able to maintain his team's fitness and remain consistent until the end of the competition. So, they deserve to break the title ranking which is dominated by Bayern.

Guirassy not play in a team as big as Bayern Munich and also, previously Guirassy suffered an injury and with that injury make Guirassy not play in at least two of Stuttgart's matches in the Bundesliga. But ya, in reality, Guirassy has 15 goals so far this season, and is only 3 goals different from Kane who plays in the big team like Bayern Munich. Thus, it is clear that Guirassy is a great player because even though Guirassy only plays for the team like Stuttgart and has also suffered injuries, but Guirassy can still make a big contribution to Stuttgart. Maybe next season Guirassy will be recruited by a big team because of course, with potential like that, Guirassy will receive offers to play for big teams in the transfer market later.

Xabi is a genius in selecting and developing players, Leverkusen are very lucky to have that man. Although he doesn't have much experience as a head coach, but he can improve the performance of Leverkusen players this season.
yeah maybe, but actually it is possible that Leverkusen performance will decline, considering that the very busy schedule will make the players tired.
In fact also, in the previous season Leverkusen performance was quite good under his leadership, but unfortunately they are not very consistent until the end. But I don't expect that to happen again this season, because I personally want to see a new team that can bring home the Bundesliga trophy.

Yes, that's of two matches could be threat to Leverkusen on December, but match against Dortmund is the most dangerous in my opinion. And Xabi must be able to make a good plan for this match, because Dortmund one of the strongest competitors in the title race so far and they often give surprises.

It has to be the players being unsettled right? Because I don't see many other reasons why the team will go through such a big drop in performance. And it's not like in the last season they were performing well and now they are performing mediocre. It's like they were performing better than expected in the last season and in this season they are just straight-up bad.

But we have seen that the classic move from every club is to bring in a new coach. They are also going to do the same probably. if it works then it will be good news for them and if it does not work they are probably going to bring in another coach and try the same thing over and over again.

Still, Guirassy remained behind Harry Kane. He started the season great but couldn't keep it up. Still, scoring 15 goals already would be enough. We have to say that he competes with Harry Kane and Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. I can say it's the golden season for Guirassy. He became an important player for Stuttgart this season.

In each of the past seasons we have seen only Bayern Munich dominate the Bundesliga. But this season and the last season the scenario is slightly different. Bayern Munich's performance in the previous season was poor, so we saw the likes of Dortmund and Union Berlin at the top of the points table. However, Bayern Munich's performance this season is very strong. They are undefeated so far. However, the top spot in the points table is occupied by Leverkusen. The performance of the Leverkusen team is surprising everyone this time. Because of Leverkusen, this year's Bundesliga has become more competitive and crowded. We don't just see Bayern Munich's dominance.

This season is not favorable for Union Berlin at all in all competitions.
I can’t even tell what exactly transform the team from being one of the best teams in Bundesliga last season to one of the worst team based on performance this season.

They lost nine matches in Bundesliga so far this season and they won just two which is a very bad stat for them this season, and they couldn’t even make more effort in the Champions League to make it to either Europa League because as it stands now, they are at the bottom of group C and second to the last in the Bundesliga table.



I am having more confidence on Bayern Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title this season because they look more competent and serious than Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
