You could say that Bayer Leverkusen won very dramatically over Augsburg with a goal in the final minutes. This victory means they are still comfortable at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Leverkusen really dominated throughout the 90 minutes, even in the first half Bayer Leverkusen almost scored a goal but unfortunately their two chances only hit the goal post. On the other hand, goalkeeper Dahmen also appeared impressive because he managed to save five shots on goal. Even though he finally conceded, Dahmen's performance in this match must at least be appreciated as extraordinary.

This victory certainly increased their confidence, even though many players were absent because several of their core players would compete in the Africa Cup of Nations. However, I believe in Alanso's ability to utilize existing players to replace players who will be left behind.

The resistance by Augsburg was really impressive as compared to the taughts before the kick of with the fact that Bayern Leverkusen was much more superior to them.and Leverkusen has a lot at stake if they by chance loose this game to Augsburg, that will bring their unbeaten record to an end.

A draw wouldn't have been a good one for Leverkusen as it would have narrowed the point difference between them and Bayern Munich and reduce their chances of maintaining the top position on the table and the possibility of them winning the trophy by the end of the season but then they got their victory at the late minutes of the match and indeed Leverkusen did dominated the match well enough through from the first to the last half with a good amount of pressure on Augsburg, they deserve their winning and they got three points giving them a safe distance from Bayern Munich.

Bayer Leverkusen is now unbeaten in 26 games thanks to manager Xabi Alonso's incredible tactical works at the German club. In the beginning of the season, very few persons would've believed that Bayer Leverkusen will go 17 league games without conceding a defeat but that's actually the reality of things at the club at the moment and the good thing about it is they're not even showing any sign of declining anytime soon.
They are missing four key members of the squad to either injury or the African Cup Of Nations. The four players are Boniface who's the club's top scorer this season as well as Adli, Kossounou and Tapsoba. Considering their current performance, I think it's safe to say that Bayer Leverkusen is the club that's gonna finally break Bayern Munich's dominance in German Bundesliga

This was Dortmund's first win after they had never won in the previous 4 Bundesliga matches and they did it when they visited Darmstadt headquarters. I initially thought this would only be a narrow victory after Julian Brandt scored a goal in the 24th minute but on the other hand I also thought that if Dortmund couldn't increase the lead then Darmstadt had a chance to make the match end in a draw.

They were aware and did their job well and here, through Marco Reus and Moukoko, Dortmund managed to solidify their victory with a score of 3-0. On the other hand, I am quite happy to be able to see Sancho playing football again after not being on the field for almost 6 months. In this match, Sancho also recorded an assist for Marco Reus' goal and hopes that in the next match he can score another goal with Dortmund.

This is a very exciting match for Leverkusen fans of course because they will definitely think this match will end with a share of points. However, it must be admitted that the way Leverkusen pressed the Augsburg defense was extraordinary, the Leverkusen players never gave up until they finally managed to score a goal in the added minute. It was extraordinary, this victory was certainly very disappointing for Bayern Munich fans because they were unable to reduce the points even though on the other hand Bayern Munich managed to beat Hoffenheim with a landslide victory.

For me, the Augsburg vs Leverkusen match can be interpreted as a sign that Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga title this season. The reason is that this match was difficult but almost didn't go according to Alanso's wishes, but in the end he was able to win in the final minutes.

For the top teams that have completed matches this moment such as Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and Dortmund managed to get the win. But yes, only Leipzig failed to win, and I think Leipzig defeat at home was also quite surprising. But yes, about Leipzig defeat, at least it will certainly make a good chance for Dortmund to get back into the top four. In addition, of course, there is still a match to be played by Stuttgart v Monchengladbach and ya, it is interesting to look forward to, whether Stuttgart will be able to make a win like the other 3 top teams or fail to win.

But apart from that, I am very excited about Dortmund in this moment and especially about Sancho. Because after all, although Sancho only came on as a substitute but in fact, Sancho managed to make an assist in this match for Reus goal in the 77th minute. With these results, at least Sancho can still play well, of course, it is also proof that Manchester United or Erik ten Hag failed to maximize the great potential of their players.

As I expected, Victor Boniface's absence would have quite an impact on Leverkusen's attack line at the start of the match after the break. it was proven that this match was quite tough. even though Leverkusen owned the game with 76% ball possession, 24 total shots, 6 on target, seven shots blocked and 4 big chances, 1 shot hit the post, Xabi Alonso's team found it very difficult to convert every opportunity into a goal. and fortunately for Leverkusen, in the crucial minutes of 90+4, Exequiel Palacios was able to break into Augsburg's goal. so, for now Leverkusen is still safe in terms of maintaining a point distance from teams below its ranking, especially Bayern Munich.
overall, based on statistics, almost every Leverkusen player played impressively. however, Patrik Schick and Adam Hlozek did not play as they should. however, it is very natural, after all, these two players rarely play as main starters, especially Patrik Schick, who does not have enough opportunities to play. for the other players, they played with maximum performance, especially Exequiel Palacios who saved his team from getting full points in this match.

Well, the next match will be a challenge for Leverkusen. to keep their distance from Bayern Munich, Leverkusen must beat Leipzig again. but it won't be easy at all, although in the first meeting Leverkusen was able to beat RB Leipzig. with the absence of Victor Boniface, at least it has had quite an impact on the sharpness of Xabi Alonson's squad. apart from that, Leipzig will maximize the match at home, especially after losing to Frankfurt in the previous match. in the next match, both teams will fight to the max. Both Leverkusen and RB Leipzig both need a win. this meeting should be an exciting match next week. Anyway, Alonso is a little calm considering that his team is still consistent in winning.

We are in first round of 2024 with now six matches completed we have 2 wins and four draws most of the teams are facing problems due to injuries or absence of players due to national duty which are creating problems, but Bayern Munich is alone which have enough quality to compete in all conditions without any problem and same happen their first win of this year against Hoffenheim was impressive and their young players Muisala done amazing performance while score two goals, and then we have third from the Harry Kane which completed their win with bang.

Now they are at the second spot and most chances they will chase the Bayer Leverkusen for the title race with full time performance, and we will have good second half performance from the all top teams those are looking for the better end of this season.

Augsburg finally bowed to admit that Leverkusen was tougher than them, but the resistance displayed by Augsburg in front of their own supporters was very entertaining. Exequiel Palacios single goal made Leverkusen even stronger in the standings, their unbeaten trend continues to this day, and they were lucky in the extra time. Bayern Munchen again have to wait to overtake Laverkusen and take over the top of the standings, but the postponed match against Union Berlin can be used to cut the gap to 1 point again.

Victory over Augsburg will be valuable capital to face tough opponents next week, Leverkusen will visit Leipzig headquarters. Meanwhile, Bayern Munchen will face a relatively easy opponent, namely Werder Bremen. I feel that next week will also be the same, I mean the two clubs challenging for the Bundesliga title will again secure full points, which means the gap in points in the standings will continue.

The Dortmund vs Darmstadt match has started and has entered the middle of the second half with the score 1 - 0 and the advantage is on Dortmund's side, even though basically Dortmund is in an unsatisfactory performance this season by only being able to stay in the top five of the standings and in five matches In the end they were only able to achieve one win, three draws and one defeat. On the other hand, I think this is a fairly easy match for Dortmund, although any result is still possible at the end of the match, but I think they can take advantage of any situation on the pitch when they are on the field. facing a team that is at the bottom of the standings, which means Darmstadt's performance is very bad this season, and clearly I think there is absolutely no reason for Dortmund not to be able to get the full three points in this match, because firstly this is a fairly easy match for them and secondly, however, they have to move up to catch Leipzig's position with a difference of 3 points. So I hope Dortmund can maintain its lead or increase the number of goals until the final minute.

Bayern Munich is not in good spirits this season. It can be seen that at the start of the match they often lost against opponents who should have been easy to beat until finally they managed to recover and move into second place from the top of the standings. Luckily, yesterday's match against Hoffenheim did not disappoint its fans, because if Bayern Munich lets a small team win again, it will disappoint its fans and gamblers who like to give full support to Bayern Munich. The points achieved by Bayern Munich are also increasing, and they are still trying to catch Bayern Leverkusen.

In football, sometimes it's not just about working really hard; luck can play a big role too. Take the match between Frankfurt and RB Leipzig, for example. RB Leipzig worked super hard, trying everything they could to win. They controlled the pitch, had over 7 shots on target, but unbelievably, they couldn't score a single goal. It was like they had all the effort but no luck on their side.

On the other hand, Frankfurt didn't have as strong a performance. They only had 1 shot on target, but guess what? They used that one chance and won the game. It's surprising because, based on how RB Leipzig was playing, you wouldn't imagine they'd end up losing. It just shows that in football, even if a team works really hard, sometimes it's that bit of luck that makes all the difference in the end.


Bayer Leverkusen faced challenges as Augsburg defended against their attacks. At first, it seemed like Bayer Leverkusen might not win because of Augsburg's strong response. I even felt like giving up on them. However, Bayer Leverkusen showed determination and a bit of luck, earning three valuable points for their victory. I am extremely happy for them! Looking at how the season is progressing, Bayer Leverkusen appears to be a strong team, not easily discouraged.This adds more excitement to the Bundesliga competition, making it even more challenging for teams like Bayern Munich. Bayer Leverkusen's determination and effort mean that Bayern Munich won't have as much breathing space, making the Bundesliga competition tougher and more thrilling for football fans.

Yes, nice win, the result from Bayern Munich was definitely expected. They were able to win the match and they were also able to win pretty comfortably. All the things that they were able to do were. They are goal difference. I think that is going to help them a lot going forward. Because they have played one match less compared to Leverkusen and the point difference is four right now. So the goal difference might come in very handy later on.



I actually thought that Leverkusen might not win the match. But they were able to somehow find a way to score on the 94th minute of the match. I never bet on anything ever. I want to get that out of the way first. But I just want to see Bayern Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title this season.

FC Bayern Munich 3 - 0 TSG 1899 Hoffenheim



It was a very good and easy game for Bayern who didn't waste a chance to come away with 3 points in this game, the opponent was a medium level team in terms of difficulties, that's why I didn't see any danger of Bayern losing in that game, so I put Bayern in my parlay and as expected from Bayern, they won the game without having any difficulties. Bayern scored a goal in the 18th minute, in the 1st half it ended with Bayern's victory and in the 2nd half Bayern scored 2 more goals, the game was decided in the 74th minute when the opponent was left with just 10 players on the field, it was already clear that they would have no way of reversing the loss, so Bayern already had a guaranteed victory. I even expected Bayern to be able to score a lot of goals after 74 minutes

Augsburg 0 - 1 Leverkusen



I confess that this was a game in which I was very worried because it was a game against a very weak opponent but one that could surprise, normally when a team is in a cycle of many defeats, it reaches a point where they will have some victory, so the question is which team would be unlucky to lose to them, so I was worried about leverkusen being the team that would be unlucky to lose to them, and when I saw that the game was already in the 90 minutes I thought the game would end in a draw, I've already seen my bet being lost, since I added leverkusen to my parlay, so if the game ended in a draw I would have lost my bet. but I was happy when Leverkusen scored a goal and won the game

Leverkusen scored in the injury time of the match, they were lucky to win the match because I was expecting a draw since Augsburg were able to maintain and hold the game to the 90 minutes without coma goals, but the pressure from Leverkusen helped them to win the match because they dominated the match. Anyways congratulations to Leverkusen for maintaining their unbeaten run and their top position in the Bundesliga table, they keep given Bayern Munich the a tough competition which I believe they will maintain because they play like champions.

Missing players after break first game surely this is won, and we can celebrate, but now it's time for Xabi Alonso to think about few points and work on because now they have no enough time for going through like this with next game is against RB Leipzig which lost their first game after break, but they can bounce back very quickly and this could be surely tough for the Bayer Leverkusen as well.

Difference is four points with one game in hand and if Bayer Leverkusen going to have any troubling game then surely they have to face consequences as well because now Bayern Munich will also give their best they also know it's time to put his full effort for the title race, and they have enough sources for the doing their best in coming matches VAR surely creating problems for the teams and management because now too many controversies happening, and we have not solid replacement for this as well.

Such a distortion in statistics (and the victory of a team that is statistically worse) is a normal thing if one team plays bus and catches its chances on contact attacks. I don’t think that in the Leipzig - Bayer game anyone will play the bus, so the total number of chances is no less important than their conversion. Bayer has obvious problems with conversion.
Now about the odds:

2.43 - 3.48 - 2.69

Maybe the bookmakers took into account all the factors and Leipzig is a fair favorite, but for me it looks unfair. What kind of nonsense is this - one team collected 45 points out of 51, and the other only 33, and the goal difference is +35 versus +20, but the statistically weaker team is the favorite. I understand that Bayer's phenomenal series cannot be endless, but these quotes are unfair.

Luck helped Leverkusen to win today's match. I wouldn't say that Leverkusen had a bad performance today. The players of Leverkusen played well. The dominance of Leverkusen's players throughout the match was palpable. Leverkusen's boys had 76% of the ball possession in the match. From this it can be assumed that Leverkusen completely dominated the match. Even then as Augsburg were playing completely defensively. So it became very difficult for Leverkusen to score. Augsburg's goalkeeper Dahmen performed brilliantly. Leverkusen would have scored at least 3 goals today if he didn't perform well. However, Leverkusen could not score a goal until the 90th minute. Palacios' goal in extra time after 90 minutes gave Leverkusen the win. And the top spot in the table is occupied by the team.

The win of Bayern Munich was in some way predictable but there are some little % always for the other teams to make Munich struggle.
The goals from Musiala will give him some self confidence in the next games for sure.

I fully agree from what i have seen on statistics that it was a complete dominance from Leverkusen.
And that they just was unlucky to score more goals in that game against Augsburg.

I guess that Frankfurt was jsut lucky to win in Leipzig and that we will see a different Leipzig when they playing against Leverkusen next game.

Leipzig lost in their home but if you analyse the statistics like you did above, you will see that Leipzig totally dominated the game with 64% dominance, 31 shots including 8 on target versus only 5 shots including one on target for Frankfurt. For the corners, we are talking about 15 for Leipzig and 8 for Frankfurt.
As you see this doesn't mean big things when the opponent with worst statistics, could use a good opportunity to score while the other team which dominated the game just continue to miss it.
Next game between Leipzig - Bayer Leverkusen will be close and if you look to the statistics, you will see clearly that Leipzig are favourite so far, even though the odds are close.
The results until now kept Bayer Leverkusen in top followed by Bayern Munich and the gap is getting wider with Leipzig until we see if Stuttgart could win, most likely, against M'Gladbach tomorrow.
