Many people are still stuck on the version of Bayer Leverkusen from last season, so they expect that Bayer Leverkusen can be a great team again this season, in reality they can't do much, that's because Bayern Munich's dominance is back. BTW, Instead of discussing Bayer Leverkusen, we should discuss Borussia Dortmund. They're not like usual, sitting in 7th place in the standings, only getting 10 points from 6 matches.
Leverkusen lose against Leipzig was a prove if they're not same anymore, honestly the odds is really juicy if we bet draw or Frankfurt to win, there's a possibility. Frankfurt kinda strong now, if they can fight against Bayern Munich, it's the same if they meet Leverkusen.

Yeah Dortmund is underperform in this season, not sure what happened because they didn't sell their players and not signing top players too. I guess other teams are improving because they bought many top players.

Yes indeed, it looks like Frankfurt has the ability to be able to make Bayer Leverkusen get a deadlock. If playing against Bayern Munich also that Frankfurt managed to hold a draw,  then playing against Bayer Leverkusen could be a good chance for Frankfurt to make a surprise at least hold a draw.Although it can still make a bigger surprise like beating Bayer Leverkusen, but I think Bayer Leverkusen will have a good way also to be able to make a better effort not to lose  at home.

About Dortmund, it doesn't matter at all about its current position in the Bundesliga table. Because anyway, Dortmund is no longer a good team that can be in the title race but even so, in my personal assessment that Dortmund will always have a chance to be in the top four over time. Thus, I personally don't really mind Dortmund's performance and results sofar, because I believe Dortmund will still be able to rise at least to  finish in the  top four. Because eventhough Dortmund is not in a good  position in the Bundesliga standings, but Dortmund is at the top of the Champions League standings, that's still impressive, right.

The opportunity to defend the title is still possible as I said above. This transfer window will be an opportunity for Alonso to convince Leverkusen's management to get new ammunition. If the striker position has been an obstacle so far, then they need to bring in a striker. If their defense has been a weak point, then Alonso needs to convince the management to bring in a defender.
I still feel confident that Leverkusen can be the toughest competitor for Bayern Munich. Alonso so far we still can't say that he is not successful with Leverkusen, it's just that he is preparing something that can shift Bayern at the top of the standings.
There is a limited amount of financial possibility for Leverkusen though. I am sure Alonso will have all the power in the world at Bayer Leverkusen and if he wants a player then he will get a player if the team could afford to, there is no questions asked. The only limit is the money, no management or owner or anyone will say no to him for personal or preference reasons, whoever Xabi wants, that's how he gets, with the limitation of being able to afford this player.

As far as I can see, Leverkusen isn't a rich club, so they can't get some amazing players. They could try their best to get as good of a player as they can for what they can afford, but will that be enough to get a title again? I am not entirely sure. I believe they should definitely reconsider all of this, because having a result like this isn't easy and they need to be second place at the very worst case. I understand not winning the title, but being second is definitely a good deal for them.

I understand where you're coming from. I, too, started having doubts about whether they are capable of defending the title.
We all know the previous season was exceptional and impossible to replicate, but I still expected a better start to this season. You could justify losing points to Leipzig or Bayern, as they are the top teams, but the latest draw at home against Holstein Kiel, a team from the very bottom of the table, was particularly disappointing.

On a positive note, Leverkusen is doing really well in the Champions League, with 2 wins in the first 2 rounds (against Feyenoord and Milan). I still believe they have what it takes to defend the Bundesliga title if they manage to stabilise their performance at a high level.
I am not entirely sure if they have what it takes to defend though, everyone keeps saying they do, but I do not see this. Look at how they have been this season, already lost a game, and they are getting draws, and they are not getting great results so far.

I understand last season was a marvellous season and everyone has high hopes about them and some people are not ready to give up hope just yet after such a great season, but eventually everyone will come to realization that last season was a one time thing and they are not good enough to keep that going for a long time, we are going to end up with a terrible result eventually, so we shouldn't really have anything which will make this get any greater title run for them. Stop thinking they may do better than what you think they will do, they will probably not do as good as you think they will, and start thinking what they can do, betting on them is risky if you keep thinking they will win.

I really do not want to bother myself with the Leverkusen's position, performance or ambitions at the moment because the situation right now is quite different from what it was last season. Last season they concentrated on the Bundesliga and the German cup and the Europa league which was a bit tedious for them as team, yet they managed to clinch a couple of trophies but this season the competition has become more fierce for Bayer Leverkusen because they have to defend their title which is always a difficult thing to do, and they are now playing in a different competition, which is entirely different from what they experienced last season in the Europa league, so I think its a bit too early to start analyzing their performance because a lot could happen before the second half of the season gets underway hence there is still much time for them to improve.

You’ve just said what it is actually. Coming to a conclusion or wondering what Bayern Leverkusen may finish the league title with will only make things more complicated for one at the moment. They are not playing that bad but their performance this season is less as compared to what they played last season. They still have a long way to go in the competition and defending the title and also fighting fiercely in the champions league is another thing else totally. The trophies are a bit not easy for them to get this season, hence they need total concentration in all games they’ll be playing in order to come out victorious in all. Let’s not think or assume anything for now, until we see how their performance is going to be in the next round of the competition in the Bundesliga.
Coming to conclusion on who will win the title this season is something no one should do because there are still many matches to play which is what will be used to judge the club that will be able to win the league due to their performance and the points they have on the table. It hasn't being an easy season for Leverkusen and they are faced with a lot of challenges with their matches in various competitions diverting their focus on a particular league.

Champions League is filled with strong clubs and the new formation is making a lot f clubs finding it difficult to understand making it more like a survival of the fittest, unlike when it use to be the same clubs playing in both their home and away that home advantage plays a big role in qualifying.

Bayern Munich should be able to return to the top of the table for its revival but it doesn't seem to be easy in the long run because some teams have adjusted and made quite good progress, so it is possible that in the current seasons it is very difficult to be at the top of the table without a threat behind them to catch up as now there are Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt who yesterday drew Bayern Munich with 3-3, it was a pretty terrible match because it could produce the same match above 2 goals.

Leverkusen has also been very difficult, even though I also supported Bayer Leverkusen from a few seasons ago because since Xabi Alonso brought Bayer Leverkusen did have a pretty good improvement, but for the time being I will seriously doubt that he will easily get a victory like last season.
Personally, I see the competition for the Bundesliga trophy this season will be tight, and not as usual. I mean, most likely the race for the trophy will be enlivened by several teams at once, usually we only see competition formed in two paths. Leverkusen was very lucky to be able to break Bayern Munchen dominance last season, instead of considering the success of Xabi Alonso squad as their lucky season, I tend to see it as a way to relieve boredom. We remember that for more than a decade Bayern Munchen has dominated it. Despite all that, Leverkusen still has the opportunity to catch up on the points in the upcoming matches, the teams that are currently in the top four of the standings should remain vigilant. Meanwhile, Leverkusen has only suffered one defeat in the Bundesliga so far, meaning they are not completely struggling, and are only 3 points behind the top team. The opportunity to top the standings is still very open, with quite a lot of matches left. Besides that, Xabi Alonso actually deserves praise, because he managed to lead Leverkusen to an impressive performance in the Champions League by achieving 2 wins.
The journey is still quite long and anyone can be at the top at the end of the season because we know some teams are still adjusting and there is still enough time to continue to catch up even teams in the relegation zone like Bochum, the difference at the top is not so far, it is still quite logical to be pursued by any team if it has a fairly consistent victory, You're right that we've come out of the saturation of the last decade where Bayer Munich always dominated the league, but now we have a lot of options for possible winners, it's starting to move back to being more competitive this will be a league that will be talked about again, especially since the Bundesliga representation is quite good in the big leagues outside the domestic league.

The performance of Bayer Leverkusen in the league this season shows that they are not as strong as they were last season when they were undefeated in the league but looking at their performance last season, you could see that they had enough resting time when they play the league matches last season because they were not ok playing in the champions League competition. But on the other hand I do not think the champions league competition affected their performance this season because even when they were hot last season they were still playing the Europa League competition and they were still playing very well.

Bayer Leverkusen still has a lot of matches to play all I think they need is the concentration to focus on playing each game and since they have Bayern Munich as their biggest rivals this season and Bayern Munich is also playing in the champions league, I think they still have the chance to catch up with Bayern Munich if they improve in their performance.

The defeat they experienced in the early phase of the season against Leipzig I think could be due to one of two things, either they experienced a decline or Leipzig experienced an increase in performance, on the other hand I think we all admit that this time there is something different from Frankfurt, they have improved but honestly I can't draw a conclusion that in next week's match Frankfurt will get three full points against Leverkusen, because Xabi Alonso will play at home, but of course the opportunity is still wide open for both sides.

On the other hand, you use Frankfurt's success when playing against Bayern Munich previously who managed to hold a draw as a benchmark for Frankfurt's possible success against Leverkusen next week, that's not wrong, because I also have thoughts in that direction, but the problem is that Frankfurt previously played at home against Bayern Munich and maybe that advantage is what made them able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw, and now as I said above that they will play away against Leverkusen, I'm not sure that all the minutes will be easy for them.

In Leverkusen, Jonathan Tah is the player of this team who had an effective role in this team and he was a reason for Leverkusen didn't lose many games but good defense reactios he had in the hard games since he joined Leverkusen.
Also, Xabi Alonso likes to use this player in the team and he doesn't want to lose Jonathan Tah at all. But Bayern Munich was recently linked to this player and tried to hire Jonathan Tah however they were not successful.
Now, it seems that other than Bayern Munich, Real Marid is also interested in hiring Jonathan Tah.
Jonathan Tah is under contract with Leverkusen until June 2025.

The Bundesliga is now getting tighter, we don't see what used to happen in previous seasons where Bayern Munich could comfortably dominate the Bundesliga, but this season looks a little different, this is something we really expected. I don't know, but I feel that Leverkusen's success in winning the Bundesliga last season was a big motivation for other teams that they could do the same, that's what ultimately made the competition tighter as we see now.
But this is just the beginning of the season which I hope that this will happen until the end of the season. Because one of the problems that is often faced by several teams is that they decline when entering the second half of the season which makes their standings even more distant.
Leverkusen's success last season in winning the Bundesliga title and breaking Bayern Munich's dominance was the beginning of everything so that this season it is already clear that the Bundesliga competition is much fiercer with the development of several teams competing at the top.
However, for Leverkusen I am very pessimistic this season, it is still early in the season but we can see that their strength has not developed and is not even better than last season so in my opinion their percentage of being able to defend the title is very small.

This season looks a little different compared to previous seasons, several teams are starting to show their quality to enliven the competition in the title hunt. Munich still looks dominant in the Bundesliga, Leipzig could threaten their position because they both have collected 14 points until matchday 6. Frankfurt also looked very impressive, their success in holding Munich to a draw showed they cannot be underestimated. Leverkusen is also still able to provide competition at the top despite failing to maintain its performance after achieving success last season. Based on my observation of the overall strength of the team, Bayern Munich has a greater chance, but it depends on their performance in the next match.

What happened this season I think is closely related to what happened last season when Leverkusen managed to destroy Munich's dominance, so far we know that every season only Munich and Dortmund compete at the top of the standings, but what Leverkusen achieved last season actually seems to give greater motivation to other teams in the Bundesliga to do the same thing as Leverkusen this season,  In fact, we can see how the Bundesliga is more competitive even though the season is still too early, so far Munich is still leading the Bundesliga standings but strong resistance from Leipzig, Frankfurt, Freiburg and Leverkusen clearly makes Munich have to be very depressed, with this fierce competition making every match more exciting and unpredictable, so indeed this season Bundesliga is actually more interesting for us to watch than the previous seasons, I think this season will be difficult for us to predict which team will win at the end of the season, because I see other teams in the Bundesliga now starting to have high motivation and confidence to be able to win the Bundesliga.

Seeing the financial condition that is still below the big clubs like Bayerm, Dortmund and even Leipzig, actually Leverkusen's situation I think they are not good enough for financial problems so we cannot push further for player transfer problems in the winter. Moreover, they have poured and more than 50 million for the arrival of several players at the beginning of this season so expecting them to pour more money will seem more difficult.

Now Xabi just has to maximize the same strength as he did last season because in the end the strength and cooperation of their club still looks quite good so far, it's just that there are some things that still cannot be maximized properly.

The opportunity to fight for the championship is still very much there for now but this will look much more difficult than before especially since some big clubs in the Bundesliga are starting to stretch and give good performances this season.

Come on guys, you are are all talking like Leverkusen is the big power house in German football now. You do know that prior to last season Leverkusen had 2 titles right? They only won the UEFA cup in 1988 and the German cup in 1993. Last seasons success in Bundesliga and the cup basically doubled the number of titles they have.
So expecting them to perform on the same level as last year forever is not really the right season to do. See what happened to Leicester City in England for example. They had a miracle season in 15/16 and last season they were even in the 2nd tier in England but now came back to the premier league.
So, unless you work hard, get lucky with players and the competition doesn't stack of like crazy it's hard to maintain this kind of level. That's why expectations should also be adjusted accordingly I think.

Leverkusen had a great performance last season, which is why many are still waiting for this team to perform as well as last season, but this season I don't think this team will be able to do much in the Bundesliga. RB Leipzig Bayern Munich these two teams are on the first and second position of the points table respectively and Leverkusen is on the fifth position of the points table. Leverkusen's points gap with Bayern Munich is 3.  

That is, if Bayern Munich does not perform well in the upcoming matches this season, on the contrary, if Leverkusen becomes a very strong team and wins every match, then they will be able to return to the first position in the points table. But so far it seems to me that Bayer Leverkusen will not be as successful this season as Bayern Munich will be.

Based on H2H from 7 meetings, Leverkusen was able to win 5 matches and the rest by Frankfurt. However, from the last 3 meetings, Frankfurt has never won when meeting Leverkusen with a fairly large score. Looking at the match against Bayern Munich, based on statistics, Vincent Kompany's team is much better than Frankfurt. Bayern dominated the match, but was a little careless in defense and 1 shot hit the goal post. In the match against Leverkusen, Frankfurt acted as the away team. Looking at the Stake site, Leverkusen is far superior. For now, Leverkusen with odds @1.43 and Frankfurt @6.60. It is clear that there is a gap between these two teams. What I consider and ask is, can Frankfurt score goals like when they played against Bayern Munich. Looking at their statistics, Dino Toppmoller's team has scored 14 goals in 6 matches, a narrow difference of two goals from Leverkusen. this is interesting to examine further, I will not speculate for now regarding the fight between these two teams. Moreover, there is still enough time for both teams to prepare their strategy, tactics and team fitness. I try to predict a little bit, this match will be dominated by Leverkusen.
Of course it can. Just look at Leverkusen currently having an inconsistent defense unlike last season. Currently Leverkusen has conceded 12 goals and it is very easy for Frankfurt to score at least 1 goal.
With that, it seems like this match will be easier to predict to bet on BTTS as the best choice because both teams have advantages and currently I have not seen the odds but it will definitely be smaller than usual.

After last season they created a miracle with their squad I think this season the opponent already knows how to anticipate Leverkusen's tactics in the previous season. I'm not saying Alonso has bad tactics, but in my personal opinion Leverkusen actually doesn't have a squad with good individual quality but Alonso's tactics are able to make them play very solid. The high pressure strategy and man to man marking are proven to be able to make Leverkusen have difficulties as applied by Gian Piero Gasperini in the UEL final last season.
And this season Xabi Alonso is also quite aware that their tactics can be read by their rivals in the Bundesliga this season if Alonso still applies the same thing for this season again in every match. So Alonso himself must be looking for a way to be able to provide new tactics to all his squad in Leverkusen in order to make a difference and also not to be easily read by every opponent this season. Besides that, I also still think that Leverkusen is a team that is still solid this season so that the team can definitely achieve a good position with a level of achievement that is not bad this season.

This will be a difficult match to predict but in this match the bookie will definitely be in Leverkusen because after all playing home it will provide its own opportunities for Leverkusen so the bookie will prefer to make them a favorite,


I agree with what you say , Leverkusen's home-field condition is very strong and will make itself felt. Personally, I am a person who will always show that being "local" will be very beneficial for the team In addition , the FNS are that 12th player who can make the difference and that is something we see Of course, there are teams that are very concentrated and focused , they don't give importance to the insults and support that the other team has at home , but that already enters into the psychology that is in all the players I think that influences a lot and if there is someone who puts good energy into his team that would be Xabi Alonso.

Especially now that Xabi clearly has to try some ways to make improvements for his club because this season it seems like his magic has faltered a bit with some not-so-desirable results. Although in the end we must realize that this will definitely happen because after all the unbeaten last season provided a situation that will definitely be a pressure for Leverkusen so that indeed this season they will be a little difficult to kick off roughly like last season.

On the other hand for the match against Franfurt it must be a price that is made into 3 points at all costs especially in the last 2 matches the results are not too favorable for them.

Leverkusen has a fairly good squad, if we try to compare it with other teams except Bayern Munich. In addition, Leverkusen has a good and talented striker, Victor Boniface can be relied on as a single striker. However, Leverkusen's second-string striker is not very reliable since the new Bundesliga season was held. IMO, from my point of view, Leverkusen's defense has declined greatly in their 6 matches, they have conceded 12 goals. It seems that some of their defenders have inconsistent problems, that's Alonso's job to evaluate and fix it. Or maybe, Alonso needs a new system so that their game is not easily read by the opposing team. It could be, if Leverkusen is now in a dilemma with the burden of defending the title. Well, talking about Leverkusen's chances, it's clear that there are still many matches that all teams will play, including Leverkusen. If they are consistent again, and their rival team slips, then Alonso's team can increase their ranking in the standings.
