On 10.02. it will be decided who will be beste in the league, that is the 21st matchday of the season. The game between Leverkusen and Munich will be played in Leverkusen and the last game between the two was a 2-2 draw in Munich in September 2023. Before that, Leverkusen won 2-1 at home in March 2023. So if Bayern want to win the championship, they have to win this game. On January 24 there is the game against Berlin, what was canceled in 2023. Let see if something happens at Leverkusen until then.
Yesterday they won because Musiala scored two goals and was the best player of the game. Harry Kane scoring 22 in game 16 is a sensational performance, he showing everyone that he deserves all the money hes getting.
Before that, they still have an away game against Leipzig, which could potentially lead to a loss of points. But perhaps the game with Bayer will be decisive, there is still a month left before this match, so it is better to talk about this match in a few rounds, maybe by this time something will change for these teams. Yesterday we saw that Bayern returned from the holidays in excellent shape, today we’ll see what shape Bayer is in.
Bayern Munchen finished the match against Hoffenheim perfectly, closing the first half of the season by securing 3 points, Jamal Musiala became man of the match and Kane broke the record for top scorer in the first half of the season, previously the record was held by Lewandowski. For the time being there is only 1 point difference with Leverkusen, and I am sure Leverkusen will also close the first half of the season perfectly by beating Augsburg.
Even though they act as the visiting team, I think Xabi Alonso fleet will have no difficulty securing 3 points, because Augsburg has only been able to achieve one win in the last five matches. I see that the challenges faced by Leverkusen are increasing, because several key players have received calls to strengthen their national team, apart from that, two other players are currently injured. But I am sure Leverkusen can reduce these concerns, because they have the rotation options they need.
Meanwhile, the dynamics of competition to become top scorer this season only form two axes, between Kane and Sehrou Guirassy. Now the difference in productivity between the two is 5 goals, I think Kane will be the winner when the season ends. Tuchel was not at all wrong when he insisted on bringing in Kane, he can help Bayern compete closely with Leverkusen this season for leading the Bundesliga standings.
