In line with you, there is no club that is more promising to break Bayern Munchen dominance this season than Bayer Laverkusen, Dortmund or any other team that needs a miracle other than their own efforts if they have the ambition to win the Bundesliga trophy. Throughout the club history, Laverkusen have never won the Bundesliga, I see their best opportunity is this season. However, this is not easy to do, because we know that Thomas Tuchel squad has all the attributes to defend the championship trophy again this season.

On the other hand, if Xabi squad is still unbeaten for half the season, then I am quite sure they will be able to realize their dream of winning a trophy. However, we always see that sometimes the storm of injuries throws all the club ambitions into disarray. If we can avoid the storm of injuries then everything will be fine.
What I know from a long time ago is that Dortmund has always been a challenger who almost broke this dominance but always failed and even though the previous season Leverkusen was a challenger to Bayern Munich even though they also failed, this season Leverkusen has become more confident after the presence of Xabi Alonso. With this confidence, Xabi is able to provide The right strategy is to continue to maintain Leverkusen's position in first place and on the one hand, Dortmund is also starting to put pressure on Munich and it looks like Tuchel has a tough task this season.
Xabi did not have the opportunities that Tuchel had. We realized that Xabi's scouting staff, team coaches and technical knowledge are very good. It is not easy to create a squad that can compete with Bayern Munich. Xabi achieves the difficult. Leverkusen became a better team than Dortmund thanks to him.

I actually think that they are dreaming about winning the trophy already. Because they have been performing really well and the performance honestly has been dominant from them. Xabi Alonso is showing how successful he can be as a coach. And we are also being able to see what a good coach can actually do with a somewhat above-average team. Some things we definitely cannot say about some big clubs like Manchester United. Anyway, I also think that if they can avoid injuries, they have a genuine chance of winning the Bundesliga title.
Nothing wrong by dreaming to winning the trophy but bayern munich is still being the main threat for the leverkusen. Xabi needs to be careful and he needs to make sure leverkusen will not be bottling it again.
Leverkusen has been performing so well since the previous season but it kinda struggle when leverkusen faces a strong club. Leverkusen draw against bayern at bayern's home.
The club can perform even better when bayern will be playing at leverkusen's home.

I will be really excited to watch the upcoming Bundesliga encounter between Leipzig and Wolfsburg after international break. Even though Wolfsburg may not be strong as Leipzig, I think it will be an exciting and difficult game. Since Wolfsburg will be playing at home, it will be difficult for Leipzig to just win the game and get all three points. while of right now, I think this game will end in a draw, but there might be more goals in the match one base on my observations, but  I can't say which team is favorites to win match or possible they may be a win, but draw is what I am thinking.

Looking at the odds, it is true that Freiburg will be favored by the bookies and I understand because Darmstadt is considered weaker and is currently at the bottom of the points table with only 2 wins, but the problem is that this international break seems to have to be paid attention to before starting to place bets because there will be lots of surprises. like an injured player and we have to be patient in speculating for this match even though Freiburg might win but we don't know what will happen because the match schedule is still a bit long and we'll just see the development of the players at these two clubs if no problems occur it seems like betting on Freiburg is very nice.
Freiburg's performance still cannot be said to be consistent. sometimes they perform well but sometimes they also perform very badly. but facing Darmstadt shouldn't be a big problem for Freiburg to get 3 points.
Even though Freiburg's quality is not as good as Munich's, which managed to slaughter Darmstadt 8-0, I still believe Freiburg can win. At least Freiburg can get 3 goals from Darmstadt, the team that has conceded the most goals.

The difference between Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund was that Leverkusen came back from 0-2 down against Bayern Munich, which is really good for the Bundesliga in general, whereas Dortmund had a big chance against Bayern at home and messed it up so badly, I gave Dortmund the benefit of the doubt and was hoping for them to play their best game and give Bayern Munich a hard time, but after that defeat I knew that this season is going to be no different than any of the seasons in over a decade now. It is either Leverkusen or nobody to stop Bayern.
In line with you, there is no club that is more promising to break Bayern Munchen dominance this season than Bayer Laverkusen, Dortmund or any other team that needs a miracle other than their own efforts if they have the ambition to win the Bundesliga trophy. Throughout the club history, Laverkusen have never won the Bundesliga, I see their best opportunity is this season. However, this is not easy to do, because we know that Thomas Tuchel squad has all the attributes to defend the championship trophy again this season.

On the other hand, if Xabi squad is still unbeaten for half the season, then I am quite sure they will be able to realize their dream of winning a trophy. However, we always see that sometimes the storm of injuries throws all the club ambitions into disarray. If we can avoid the storm of injuries then everything will be fine.

Really, really uncertain about that as Bayern has scored 22 goals in their last 5 games alone and I am bringing this up because usually when Bayern struggles, they struggle. This time it was the case in the DFB Pokal, and I somehow knew that this doesn't mean anything good for the Bundesliga because the only way to make up for that is to function like robots and destroy their opponents, which is what they are doing. Their breath can be much deeper than that of Leverkusen.

My guess would be that Leverkusen needs at least 83 points to have a chance to win the title this season. That would put them at 15 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss out of the 23 remaining games. And this would only hold true if Bayern Munich doesn't perform better than that. But it is good to know that the second game Leverkusen - Bayern will be a home game for Leverkusen. Though let's first see if Leverkusen can go at this pace for much longer.

Leipzig did not make any mistakes at home and won the match with 3 goals and added 3 points to their score and increased their points to 23.Although the point difference between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen is not much, it is at a level to close, so any points lost in these weeks could push them out of the championship race.

Freiburg's attacking line was amazing recently and they scored goals easily as you just said, but the problem with this team is about the defensive power and that's why they could not get a better place in the Bundesliga table. I think this team was recently playing against a team with weak defensive power and now the next team will be Darmstadt.

Xabi during his football playing time has proven to be a quality defensive midfielder whom you can rely on especially with the way he controls the game, and you could see such trait with his Bayern Leverkusen team, i think he’ll be a good baller and coachee for a period of time and he’ll also work on building some young ins for the team and developing talents

 They’ll pose a threat to Bayern Munich over a period of time and it’s what’s healthy for the Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso is a very good coach for this Bayern Leverkusen side and is going to pose a serious threat in the run to the league’s title,  what suprises me mostly is how he's managed for maintain the top position till this moment and beating teams he comes across.
I'm in suspense regarding the whole competitive fight for the league title this season. Posing a threat to Bayern Munich? Bayer Leverkusen is already a threat and the Bavarians needs to belt up. Bayer Leverkusen have transform from been a struggling average team to been an elite team that have grown to become a competitive contender for the Bundesliga title. Xabi Alonso was one of the outstanding players during his prime as a footballer and he played for elite teams before finally retired and he's the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen. He has opportunities to make the team one of the most astounding club in Germany.

If a new coach has not yet been introduced at a club the assistant coaches or coaches from the U team usually take over. Following the dismissal of Urs Fischer at Union Berlin, the coach of the U19 team Marco Grote was initially introduced as the new head coach. That would not be worth reporting yet.
But now, for the first time, a woman has been appointed as a co-coach from a Bundesliga team. Marie-Louise Eta. She was co-coaching the U19 team.
So if no new coach is introduced before the next matchday, she will be the first woman in the Bundesliga on a regular matchday sitting on the coaching bench.

Freiburg's defensive system is a little bad, they conceded more goals compared to the productivity of the goals they created, so it is a little difficult for them to maintain their performance so far, but they are currently in 8th place, which means they still quite safe in their position. at least Freiburg must improve their defensive system so as not to concede so many goals.

Freiburg's Odds are quite convincing, but also a little doubtful, but if you look at it, it seems like Freiburg has the advantage of playing as the home team, so this can still be considered, like their last meeting, Freiburg could beat Darmstadt if they played at home, on the other hand Darmstadt could beat Freiburg when they played. home but these last 2 meetings are quite a long time ago so maybe now they are a little different and maybe many will favorite Freiburg in this match.
With a defense like that, Freiburg often concedes goals and that is why in the last 5 matches they have only been able to get 1 win. Against Darmstadt shouldn't be difficult for them and I think if they can improve their defense in this match, victory is definitely guaranteed for Freiburg. However, if the opposite happens, then Freiburg will continue to experience a negative trend throughout this season.

Talking about odds, Freiburg already deserves these winning odds and there is no doubt that they will win the match and if we bet on Darmstadt the risk of losing will be greater. Freiburg must win if they want to close the gap from Frankfurt and Freiburg should recover after they slipped for quite a long time at the start of the season.

now a new name has emerged for the coach position at union berlin . steffen baumgart could become the new coach at union berlin.
baumgart is currently still coach at 1.fc köln . that's why i can't understand these rumours. so far there are already 3-4 names of new coaches in discussion.
i think it won't take long and the new coach will be presented by the union president . last season still in 4rd place and today last in the 1st bundesliga.
the union berlin fans didn't expect that. but neither did i !

We haven't seen better performances from Freiburg in the last few matches. Out of 5 matches they have won only 1 match and lost 3 matches. However, Freiburg lost against strong opponents like Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Leipzig. Each team is now on top of the points table. So I don't think they can win against Darmstadt as Freiburg have dropped points in previous matches. Darmstadt is quite a weak opponent for Freiburg. And I would say that Freiburg's players will make no mistake in this home match. By winning this match they will once again continue their winning streak. My prediction for this match is Freiburg to win 2-1 or 1-0.

During them days with gunner's, he lose his temper and finds it difficult to control his emotions, he was more aggressive than a good ball passing player who did with a cool head now for Bayern Leverkusen.
I never even had thoughts till I saw the post from Fabrizio Romano. When you work with the best you'll end up being the best. Xabi Alonso over the years and during his time as a player has been a brilliant ball passing player from short range to long range.

Till 2028 and he'll be up and going? They should also start looking for backup yougins suitable for his replacement. He does his job well, but for long term projects and plans for the club they should get a young player to replace him. I honestly want to see them winning the Bundesliga, doing something Borrussia Dortmund has failed to do when they had the chance.

Indeed, it seems that being in 8th place is quite safe for Freiburg, but their points at the table is not very safe because their points gap is too close. So Freiburg must improve their performance, especially they must be able to improve their defense line as you said.

Freiburg odds actually not too bad, but they are also not that good because in the last few of matches Freiburg performance not very impressive. But against Darmstadt, maybe Freiburg will make an best effort to get 3 points, because also Darmstadt performance is worse than Freiburg so far.

I mentioned Leipzig's situation in my last post and now it has come to my mind how great Openda has been performing at the same time. He came here from a lower tier team like Lens after having a pretty awesome season in the Ligue 1. I had doubts about whether we would see him adapting and showing as good performance as that when he comes to Leipzig.

But now we clearly see that he is really impressive. He doesn't only make do with scoring 9 goals in the Bundesliga. He is a good scorer in the Champions League on one hand too. This leap in his career could bring about offers from even bigger teams in the near future in my opinion. Do you think as well that he has a brighter future?

Lois Openda has been an impressive player since he joined RB Leipzig on 14th July this year and in his 11 match starting campaign so far in the bundesliga, he has won 7 matches out of the 11 matches he has played for RB Leipzig. The 23 year old player has helped RB Leipzig in scoring goals in most of their matches so far. Despite the fact that RB Leipzig has not been in a consistent form in the bundesliga but they are performing better in the champions league after playing 4 matches, winning 3 matches in their group and losing just one match of which if they win their next match against Manchester city on 28 November them they will automatically qualify for the round of 16. Though their match against Manchester city isn't really gonna be easy for them considering the unstoppable record Manchester city has kept in their group but however, football can be difficult to predict until the final whistle.

I think Lois Openda is a good player and should he continue in this good form with RB Leipzig, then bigger clubs will definitely troop to sign him to their club, though his contract with RB Leipzig will last until 2028. So the belgian international will definitely be enjoying his stay in RB Leipzig for an interval of 5 years.

Xabi did not have the opportunities that Tuchel had. We realized that Xabi's scouting staff, team coaches and technical knowledge are very good. It is not easy to create a squad that can compete with Bayern Munich. Xabi achieves the difficult. Leverkusen became a better team than Dortmund thanks to him.
Xabi Alonso presence is important, there's a whole lot to learn, Alonso increased the team's performance to an exceptionally high level, but he still requires ongoing commitment from the players to enable them to stand towering until the end of the season. As an outcome, we cannot use one season to validate Bayer Leverkusen's competitive status because this is the first time they have been in this outstanding condition, and there is a high likelihood that the team will win major titles and then flop the following season, that's basically what happen to Chelsea and Napoli.

The fact about Xavi Alonso is he is still a young coach and he is not experienced a lot which means this coach can even have better performance if he gets experienced and starts working in some other teams.
Maybe that's a good reason to say other teams like Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich are going to show even more interest in hiring Xabi Alonso soon.

It seems that Xhaxa's arrival to Leverkusen is a strong solution to Leverkusen's performance so far and sources say that Xhaxa has made more third-to-last passes and more progressive passes than any player in Europe's top 5 leagues. These are very good statistics for a midfielder and since leaving Arsenal I thought he would experience a decline in performance but in the right hands he can give his best performance.

This cannot be separated from the genius of Xabi Alonso who has positioned him as a creative midfielder and with Xhaka, Leverkusen's midfield will certainly be more optimal. Xhaxa's contract still runs until 2028 and he has proven to be a long-term project for Leverkusen even though he is now 31 years old.

Xabi enthusiasm this time is so great after reaching the top of the standings, although it is not certain that he will continue to be in first place, but what is certain is that Leverkusen current situation provides strong support for this coach and all Leverkusen players to continue to maintain their current performance.
So far, apart from the Bundesliga, Xabi has kept Leverkusen consistent in the European league and other leagues, they continue to win and continue on the winning path to achieve maximum results, I don't really know how Xabi can maintain the stamina and performance of his players so that not injured, as we see when big clubs consistently win after experiencing injuries to several key players they often lose.

I think Xabi really maintains that each of his players maintains good performance and stamina even against difficult clubs. I see that in the European league, Leverkusen has not been defeated, nor in the Bundesliga in the last five matches they have also been unbeaten, Leverkusen will be a tough competitor for Munich. to win the title this season. Xabi has to maintain that consistency until the end of the season.

In my opinion, it is too early if we judge that only the two top ranked teams at the moment will win the Bundesliga, because the league has only been running for 11 matches, meaning that not even half of the season has been underway, in my opinion there are teams below them that could still move up to the top rank to win the league. This season, including Borrussia dortmund, which is only ranked 5th, currently there is a chance, even though they have only got 21 points, they are 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who have 31 points, the possibility is not too small for them because this is only the start of the season.
Well, even now it's still too early to decide on the championship but for the mid-season and the end of the season too I don't think there will be much change here as the only possible additions are Dortmund and Leipzig which every year they are always in the Champions League zone and join the competition.
Last season there were a few other clubs that could have been in the mix but for now dark horse clubs like Freiburg and Union are still underperforming so maybe they will be excluded now.
For VFB they had a great start to the season and we saw that they improved a lot this season but in the last few games we saw how they started to have problems so I would also rule them out.
It definitely too early to decide the champion, so many things have changed in this season just as if they substituted each other, take a look at union Berlin that finished last season in fourth position are now in last position when match is still in 11 game while VfB Stuttgart that were battling not to relegate are now sitting comfortably in third point living behind second runner-up of last season with two points interval and Leipzig in the fourth position have one point in between, VfB Stuttgart performance this season show how serious the want to make it to champion league next season.
This season's changes in football, especially in the Bundesliga, interest me a lot. View the scores that changed in ways you might not have expected! While Union Berlin, who finished in the top four last season, is currently wallowing at the bottom, VfB Stuttgart, which just barely dodged relegation, is comfortably in third place. A sobering warning that past success doesnt mean future success is guaranteed. In my opinion, both the transfers of players and the hiring of new coaches have made a big difference in the teams.

The league needs this change, in my view. The dominance of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, two usual top competitors, is in danger. If these so-called weaker teams can keep up their current form, the season finale will be exciting and interesting. Not sure who will win yet, but I want an underdog to win this year.
