Having that many injured players definitely will cause a lot of trouble for you if you are not careful. There must be something wrong with the team, either with training, or just overloading the same players, because at the moment that number is not normal. Of course every team has issues, time to time every team has players missing, but if you have that many players missing then there must be something wrong with it, and that is the issue that they are facing right now.

I think it's quite clear that we are talking about something that may not be all that easy to handle, and we should be considering the situation as problem within the teams system. In any case, even with this type of injury numbers, they are doing fine and chasing Leverkusen closely.

Hoffenheim has been so bad with winless streak too long for a team in top 8 on the standings. It may imply that something happening inside the team/club. I think it's the time for the club leader to step up if something is happening. Concerns among the fans and Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo being under scrutiny are things that can't go longer if they want to bounce back.

The upcoming match against Wolfsburg is likely to be crucial. The fact that Wolfsburg is also below expectations, trailing by 9 points behind international places, adds an extra layer of pressure for both coaches. While the recent form is a concern, The Coaches need to evaluate the overall performance and the potential for improvement. The outcome of the upcoming match could indeed impact the perception of both coaches, but it's also vital to consider a more comprehensive evaluation of their coaching tenure and the circumstances surrounding the teams.

The distance between Bayern and Leverkusen is only a very small point difference, while this competition still has enough matches left until the end of the competition. At a minimum, there are approximately 15 more matches for all teams, both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. what is certain is that the fierce competition has just begun. 2 points difference, not a problem for Bayern Munich with the remaining 15 matches they have. The potential to overtake the top position in the standings could happen this week or the following weeks. Before playing the match in the last 16 of the Champions League, I'm sure Tuchel is targeting the matches they will go through by winning. At its peak, ahead of the Lazio match, Bayern will visit Leverkusen's home BayArena. This match is special because it can determine which team will occupy the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, even temporarily. even then, if Munich wins the match against Gladbach.

On the other hand, so far Leverkusen has never lost. but after two matches, Leverkusen was lucky to win the match. In the match against Augsburg, Palacios was ultimately able to bring Leverkusen to win the match with a goal scored in the final minutes, namely 90+4. In the Leipzig match, the situation was again the same as when playing against Augsburg. in the 90+1 minute, Piero Hincapie managed to score a goal which ultimately gave them a 2-3 lead. match against Gladbach, no goals were scored. yeah, even though Leverkusen have never tasted defeat this whole season. however, the absence of Victor Bonicae and Palacios had quite an impact on goal scoring productivity. Let's just say, if this week both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich win the match. So, meeting next week. be a big challenge for Leverkusen. It could be the start of defeat for Xabi Alonso's squad when they host Bayern Munich. well, this is just a scenario. Let's just wait and see, the matches that will be presented in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg drew 1-1 in its last 3 league matches. This statistic is very interesting because Hoffenheim is a team that is higher than them. I'm sure they will fight well against them too. I don't know how the Hoffenheim match will end, but I think the match may be low-scoring. I think this match may be one of the matches with the fewest goals in the league this week.

Indeed, the performance of this mediocre team feels strange lately, even though Hoffenheim was in the top 4 at the start of the season, but now as we can see they are one step away from being out of the top 10 in the standings. Decreased performance, whatever the cause, makes it difficult for them to win and instead of winning, they often end up drawing or losing.

Obviously this is quite detrimental and I think they will soon return to their habitat at the bottom of the board. Against Wolfsburg is certainly another challenge for Hoffenheim and although the performance of these two teams is not much different, I am quite sure that Hoffenheim will not be able to steal full points in the away match. Even though Wolfburg is below them at the moment, it is very likely that Wolfsburg will win this time.

I don't think host Wolfsburg will win this match because if you look at their meeting, Wolfsburg is superior to Hoffenheim. Moreover, this match is important for Wolfsburg to improve its current ranking which is in 11th place with 22 points, a difference of 3 points with Hoffenheim in 8th place. It is true that the condition of both teams is not good, but for Wolfsburg this match will be a moment to immediately rise from adversity. so far. Yes, I also agree with you. This match cannot be without goals because if you look at the history of meetings between the two teams, when the two teams meet they will definitely score goals because of course both teams play openly and attack each other.

A match between equally strong teams like this is very risky to bet on because it is difficult to predict but the odds are big, so I will choose to bet on Wolfsburg to win this match.

Union Berlin last season were testifyingly better than they are now. They were threatening and even at the earliest part of this season, they still had that tempo high.  Weeks ago, they hosted Madrid and they were able to prove their toughness too but it didn't really get them anywhere higher. Their UCL journey was quite worthwhile for them no doubt and even if they didn't really win all of their encounters, they managed to make an impactful performance in every game.

 Now they'd be onto the domestic league race and on the standings, they're just a point out of the relegation zone and they've got work to do in ensuring that they don't decline in performance or points too. They'll be facing Leipzig away from home, according to records, both teams are a little bit on different ranges with the fact of being big team defeaters in past times even though Leipzig currently are higher chanced to winning the game. Although Leipzig are the host and so they've got the upper hand, but we hope to see the outcome of the game.

Leverkusen still remains unbeaten across Europe in every of the leagues they are participating currently.theynare currently one of the favorite to win the league title this season, the competition in the bundesliga for the title this season currently seem to lay between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich current performance shows that they are very likely to get back to the top of the table and possibly win the bundesliga title again this season but then let's hope that Alonso isn't going to let this opportunity of becoming the champions this season get pass him but will make sure to utilize every good strategy and form to get the title this season, they have gone past the mid season already which means they have just few weeks to maintain their position at the top because that's the only advantage the can get over Munich as Munich is ahead of Leverkusen by goals so if the both end with same points Munich is definitely going to be the winners.

Shalke 04 is in the news for all the wrong reasons. If they get relegated to the 3rd division(they are currently 15th in the 2nd div), they will not be retaining their license as a professional football club, since they are heavily in debt of about 165 million euros. Shalke will essentially have to start all over again as an amateur club. Which will be devastating for a club with such illustrious history in Germany.

Even though they are 4 places apart, in terms of points they are actually close. The tight competition in the middle of the standings makes them try hard to be in a better position. Both of them are in the same situation this season, so in their meeting it will be difficult to predict who will be the winner later.
This match will see Wlofsburg as hosts, although Hoffenheim also has a chance to beat the hosts. I can't predict this match easily, because as I said at the beginning, their quality is actually not that different. So it is very likely that they will end the match by sharing points.
In the mid-table, the competition looks very interesting with the points gap between the clubs being so close.

For me, this match is very unpredictable because both of them have not performed very well so far. So it is definitely hard to choose which team is going to win this match. I personally think that this match might actually end up being a draw. Because both of them are not playing well. And I believe both of them are going to make mistakes when it comes to defending. So that should open up a lot of chances for the other team to score. There is no chance this is going to be a goalless match, that's because of what I just said. Both of them are prone to mistakes and I expect the deadlock to be broken.

Harry Kane can score even more goals in his first season playing for Bayern Munich. With Kane's potential and productivity this season, the current number of 23 goals has the potential to reach 30 or more if we look at the role of Bayern Munich players such as Sane and other names in providing support to the England national team captain.

Kane is at the top of the list of Bundesliga top scorers until week 19 with 23 goals. On the list of most assists, Leroy Sane is in first place.
These two Bayern Munich players complement each other in every Bayern Munich victory. Of course, this is what makes us feel optimistic if Kane can end this season in the Bundesliga with a goal score of 30 or more.
In the 20th match against Borussia M'Gladbach, I predict Kane can also score a goal.

I think Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim at this moment both not have impressive results but yes, at least the reality is that Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg can still compete in the middle of the Bundesliga standings and that's not bad at all. Because yes, basically Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg not have the quality to be able to compete strongly in the top zone in the Bundesliga standings so I think the results they have at the moment are still considered fine. Therefore, I think it would not be right if they fired their coach because yes, the results they have had so far this season are still considered good and not bad at all because they have not fallen into the relegation zone.

Hoffenheim have not won their last 5 matches. Their last win was at 08 December 2023 (matchday 14) against Bochum. And the matchdays before is was not good either. Before that, they had their last won at 28 October 2023 (matchday 9) against Stuttgart. They certainly expected more. So coach Pellegrino Matarazzos performance is now viewed very critical. The next game is against Woflsburg. Wolfsburg had also expected more and are now already 9 points behind the international places. And more was also expected from Nico Kovac. The coach of the losing team will be criticised even more and may be sacked soon.

I agree with you. We can't deny that Bayer Leverkusen squad isn't as good as Bayern Munich squad. The level of Levekusen squad is lower than Bayern Munich squad. In Bayern Munich, all the main players are the top players. Meanwhile the main players of Leverkusen are actually only average players who just become a bit familiar in this season. Even, I never know some players of Bayer Leverkusen, they are not familiar players.

Yep. What makes Leverkusen be strong is the tactics used by Xabi Alonso. He also succeeds to make a great relationship among the players. No doubt if we can call Xabi Alonso as a smart coach, he knows how to strengthen an average team like Leverkusen. It is the same as Spalletti when he managed Napoli, Napoli was a strong because of the factor of Spalletti's smart tactics. When he left Napoli, everyone can see Napoli be a mediocre team again.

Indeed. Leverkusen has no strong attackers. Victor Boniface could perform better than other attackers of Leverkusen. But when he gets injured, Leverkusen begins to have a problem with their goals productivity. I think Xabi Alonso needs to consider signing new attackers who has better quality in scoring goals. Santiago Gimenez or Vangelis Pavlidis looks good to be a new striker/attacker for Leverkusen. These players are experiencing a great season in Eredivisie. They must be interested to play in Bundesliga, especially under Xabi Alonso's management.

As you said, Leverkusen is fighting hard to maintain its position and this means that there are more and more challenges that it has to faced because Bayern Munich always has a strategy to shift its position and even though Leverkusen has tried with all its might to continues to secure victory, the last few matches have only had narrow points and for me, this is one of the declines in Leverkusen performance, which started with a narrow score and divided points with a draw still, even though their performance has decreased, Leverkusen is still a very consistent club without being defeat since the start of the season.

Darmstadt is not a strong club in the Bundesliga, in fact its performances is very bad, being at the bottom of the points table with 12 defeated and this has proven that this club is not a big problems for Xabi, but there is something important that we needs to know, usually weak clubs can give unexpected surprises and usually weak clubs like Darmstadt can provide resistance which make it difficult for Leverkusen to scored.
I don't want that to happen and I hoped to score bigger to gain the trust of the fans.

From the start, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if Harry Kane could score this many goals in one season and the number will continue to increase before the season ends. During his time at Spurs, we also saw him score many goals in one season, but unfortunately he never won a title with Spurs. Serhou Guirassy is still absent from Stuttgart because he is defending his country at the AFCON event, while Lois Openda failed to score in the defeat against Stuttgart the previous week.

Apart from that, Sehrou Guirassy's teammate in Stuttgart, Denis Undav, will actually try to surpass Sehrou Guirassy's goal tally after scoring a hat trick in the match against Leipzig. However, for Victor Boniface, he had to step aside after suffering an injury some time ago, so he is increasingly lagging behind the other players in terms of the top scorer list.

No doubt drooping points is normal but best thing which happen to Bayer Leverkusen is they are still undefeated after 19 rounds and their lead from Bayern Munich is still 2 points which could be vital for them in coming weeks Gladbach is surely one of the biggest clubs which having troubling time with their performance, but they have done good job against leaders and steal one point which is also good for them while they are currently near the danger zone with their coming game is against another giant club Bayern Munich even their performance and record against them is also good but still they need to be better and improved because now as we are heading for the last rounds things are looking more difficult for the teams which are not in good consistency because now any bad result can bring them in more trouble which can ended into relegation zone.

Against Augsbrug Harry Kane scored 1 goal. He is still the Bundesliga's current top scorer.
Thi is list of 5 names of Bundesliga Top Scorers
1. Harr Kane 23 goals
2. Serhou Guirassy17 goals
3. Lois Openda 13 goals
4. Denis Undav 12 goals
5. Victor Boniface 10 goals
Very impressed with Harry Kane's 19 games with 23 goals, an incredible goal productivity.

Indeed, securing three points against Darmstadt 98 is crucial for Bayer Leverkusen, not only to maintain their lead over Bayer Munich but also to preserve their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga. Xabi's strategic player rotation becomes pivotal, considering the upcoming challenges against VfB in the DFB Cup and the pivotal clash with Bayern Munich. Balancing fatigue and potential injuries is essential as they navigate this critical stretch, aiming to solidify their position at the top and clinch the Bundesliga title at the end of the season.


For Leverkusen, getting past Darmstadt should be easy as long as they play their usual game and avoid an unlucky day. I'm looking forward to seeing plenty of goals from Leverkusen to make up for the last result. Besides, although it's not very likely, there might be a surprising result for Bayern Munich against Gladbach, considering their recent history. It would be great for Leverkusen, but it's probably too optimistic to count on this possibility, right?


For the upcoming matches, the unbeaten streak of Bayer Leverkusen brings anticipation, especially against Darmstadt. A draw in the last game sets the stage for crucial points. Leverkusen, as a top club, doesn't perceive Darmstadt as a significant threat, and Xabi Alonso's strategic focus on avoiding losses aligns with their approach. It'll be interesting to see how they navigate challenges and maintain their strong position in the league
