If we review Leverkusen in their 15 Bundesliga matches, they have experienced 5 draws and 1 loss and the rest with wins. Unfortunately, Leverkusen's performance in defense is not so consistent, resulting in them conceding quite a lot of goals in their 15 matches. However, we can see that Xabi Alonso has brought his squad back to the top 4 of the Bundesliga standings. Precisely in 2nd place, only 4 points behind Bayern Munich who are at the top of the standings. Indeed, Leverkusen is not like last season which did not experience defeat throughout its matches in the Bundesliga, this season they have experienced a few obstacles that have become obstacles, but we can see that they are currently in 2nd place in the standings. only a difference of 4 points, and it is still very open for them to get closer. Well, to smooth their steps to defend the trophy they won last season, that means they have to collect 3 points as much as possible, including beating Bayern Munich. Moreover, the meeting of the two teams was held at Leverkusen's headquarters, of course it was an advantage for Xabi Alonso's team. So, in any case, Leverkusen remains a threat to Bayern to reclaim the trophy they won last season. but that does not mean their progress will be as smooth as last season, because not only Bayern can stop Leverkusen's, because other teams also have the potential to provide tough resistance. Dortmund will be Leverkusen's opponent in week 16, especially Dortmund certainly does not want to lose points at home. If Leverkusen loses at the same time Bayern wins their match, then the two teams will again have a points difference that is not easy for them to approach again. So, this season's fight is still quite exciting for us to enjoy.

The game is going to be a tough game for Dortmund to win regardless of them being the host in the game this is because Bayer Leverkusen is currently in good form and they are trying to close gaps between them and Bayern Munich in the league and since they are in second place while Dortmund is in the 6th position I think Dortmund can't win the game the best result they can achieve is a draw.
Playing at home for Dortmund may be a good advantage but if they do not perform well Bayer Leverkusen may still defeat them in front of their fans, Leverkusen has all it takes to win in the game the only thing that will affect them in winning is if they fail to take their chances to score goals.

Bayer have improved their game in the last matches, they are in better shape and this may be enough to beat the unstable Dortmund. Dortmund do not always use the advantage of the home stadium, moreover, their attack is variable and in the last games they have seen a decline, so I would give the advantage to Bayer in this match. Also, Alonso is trying not to let Bayern get away, they still have a chance to defend their title.

Yes indeed, Dortmund will still get pressure despite playing at home because after all, if Dortmund fail to win in this home match, it is likely that Dortmund's position in the standings will be overtaken by other teams. Because after all, the points owned by Dortmund are still not completely safe, it is very clear and their position will be able to change quickly every week.

In contrast to Bayer Leverkusen, despite for example Bayer Leverkusen failing to win three points in the match against Dortmund later, but even if for example Bayer Leverkusen lost also that Bayer Leverkusen would still remain in second place in the standings. But even so, I also believe Bayer Leverkusen will still target victory because after all, Bayer Leverkusen certainly still has the ambition to be able to defend the Bundesliga title it got last season.

Dortmund is not really doing well in the Bundesliga, but they are trying and competing in other competitions. Leverkusen are in a great form now, they have come back to their winning stake, and their match against Dortmund can be a challenge games because Dortmund usually perform great when playing with a big club, and even the season that Xabi Alonso won the Bundesliga title, when they face Dortmund, they didn't get the opportunity to defeat them, they just drew the game home an away. so am sure still Dortmund will not make Leverkusen defeat them at home. so I believe they will do anything possible to achieve three point against leverkusen. And then they can come forward in the league table.

But I still believe Dortmund will give it their all, even if they are not in excellent form. They will not try to lose points at home. Dortmund has historically had the opportunity to defeat Leverkusen, but after the arrival of Xabi Alonso, they have improved significantly and are now winning matches and trophies. Let's see how this season ends and  see if Xabi Alonso can win any awards this season.

Leverkusen is in better shape but Borussia Dortmund has the advantage at Signal Iduna Park. In my opinion, Borussia Dortmund has the best fans in Germany by far. If they beat Bayer Leverkusen, they will do so thanks to that power. Otherwise, Leverkusen seems to be in better form right now. The match will be in the middle and both teams can win.

Well, it is not only the German bundlesliga that are observing the break but quite a large number of leagues in Europe are also observing the break, but most importantly this break also helps to improve the mental health of these players and I think Uefa should as a matter of urgency make it a rule for every league to go on break during the yuletide, that way the players would have time to refresh themselves for the second half of the season that usually starts by the new year.

I will chose the team to win base on their overall performance in the league this season. They have both been playing quite well but it is very clear that one team is far better than the other and that can be seen clearly even on the standings. Bayern Leverkusen will be my best pick to win this encounter but if Dortmund decides to pull out a much better performance after the break, I won’t be surprised seeing the match ending in favor of Dortmund. It is really going to be a tough match for both clubs because they will definitely want to win that match to add up for their fight of the league title but only the best team will win. They are two big teams, so anything can be expected and possible in this match.

With the current level of performance I am feeling Bayer Leverkusen is having ability to go through until last 8 because their depth is impressive and their all players are performing good with few early games were not as expected, but now their rhythm is giving them good confidence for going through in Champions League and also keep pressure on Bayern Munich which is now leading by 4 points from them in Bundesliga title race.

Frankfurt and Leipzig are having poor time as both faced defeats but now Bayer Leverkusen on their top run which allow them to cut deficit from leaders and have good chance of keeping their title for another season now we have 19 rounds left in season and things can take good changes while we will also have good work load on big teams with going into Champions League surely have impact on performance.

This is a tactical match for both coaches besides the final result of this match will determine the competition at the top of the standings, if Leverkusen manages to get 3 points we will see the fight for the championship title will be tight because with those 3 points Leverkusen can continue to approach Bayern, but on the other hand if Dortmund wins Xabi Alonso's troops provide a comfortable space for Bayern. Regardless of what the final result will be, this year-end holiday period at least gives both teams the opportunity to prepare their teams thoroughly.

The league break that is implemented not only gives players the opportunity to play with family and friends, but also has a huge impact on the players' physicality after going through tough matches. I don't know for sure whether only the German league determines this rule. In the first round after the break, Borussia Dortmund will face Bayer Leverkusen.
The two big Bundesliga teams will play aggressively with their physicality and performance returning. The point is that this match is very interesting. Don't miss out on both of them fighting for the top position in the standings.

The match is not too difficult for me to predict, although Leverkusen looks more favored in this match, but I'm sure that Borussia Dortmund can win, because this match is also a home match for Borussia Bortmund. Both teams have been drawing each other lately, but let's take a closer look, which team is more dominant? of course it's Borussia Dortmund, right?

Dortmund have so far not found good form and consistency in the league, so it is not surprising that the match against leverkusen will be a difficult match for them despite playing at signa iduna park, I think the match later will be tight and will likely depend on the performance of key players from both teams, I think in the match later, dortmund will still rely on guirassy and juliant brandt to destroy the tight defence of leverkusen, but instead I see maybe leverkusen will be able to be more dominant with wirtz will be the difference in the match later, I personally tend to see if leverkusen will win the match  and continue to stick tightly to munich at the top of the standings.

First of all, I think the break in the football league in Germany is a brilliant idea which will help the players and coaches rest their minds a bit and enjoy the Holidays with their family, friends and loved ones which will in turn reduce the tensions and pressure they've been subjected to althrough the season and i think other elite leagues like the EPL should also emulate this system because these players deserve some rest due to the number of competitions they are made to play in January.

 In January we are going to see a wonderful derby between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, it's probably going to be a very strategic game whose result will determine how the table would look like immediately after the resumption of the bundesliga.

I agree with you that Dortmund are the one under more pressure to win the tie but Bayer Leverkusen themselves have their own pressure to deal with as they will want to start the second phase of the title defense mounting pressure on the leaders Bayern Munich, so for me this kind of games sometimes do not go with the form of each club but the intensity is usually up regardless of anything just because of the rivalry between the two clubs. Take for instance last season even with the super form that Bayer Leverkusen were on they could only managed to actually take draws from Dortmund in the both games. This season Dortmund remains formidable at home and as such wouldn’t be easy to get pass them

There is still a long journey left in this season. Bayern Munich has been performing well since the beginning of the season and the top spot in the points table is occupied by Bayern Munich. However, if they cannot perform well in the next matches and cannot earn full points, Bayern Munich will not be at the top of the points table. Bayern Munich has lost points in two of the last 5 matches. If Bayern Munich cannot win against Gladbach in the next match, then Bayern Munich will be ahead of Leverkusen by only 1 point. This is a very small gap. So if they want to keep the top spot in the table, Bayern Munich will have to continue their winning streak.

The meeting of the two teams is still far away, and we also do not know what plans and strategies they will implement when they meet later. so we can only guess by looking at the results of both teams in previous matches

And Yes, it is true that in the Bundesliga this season Borussia Dortmund has never lost when playing as the host. However, for the Champions League they have lost when hosting Barcelona, ​​​​so I think the venue is not always a benchmark for what the final result will be. Indeed, Signal Iduri Park provides an extraordinary atmosphere, but when Leverkusen players are able to maintain their mentality and overcome the pressure given by Dortmund supporters, I think not only a draw is possible for them, but Leverkusen also has a great chance of winning the match.

Actually, the one who will be more under pressure for the match is the host, Dortmund, because Bayer Leverkusen will still try their best to win in the away match. Moreover, Leverkusen is currently only four points behind the top of the Bundesliga standings so Leverkusen will do their best to get full points at Dortmund's home. In addition, Dortmund this season has not been very consistent in winning matches so Leverkusen will take advantage of this when they come to Dortmund's home.

Visiting Signal Iduri Park to face the host Borussia Dormund is certainly not easy for Leverkusen. Signal Iduri Park is often known as a stadium that has an extraordinary atmosphere, because the Yellow Wall has very high enthusiasm when their favorite team plays, especially if the match is a home game. With the full support given by Dortmund supporters, not a few teams whose courage immediately shrinks when faced with the extraordinary atmosphere presented by Signal Iduri Park.

But in any case this is a fairly important match, both for Leverkusen and Dormund, so the match will be quite tight. Leverkusen is indeed in its best form, but it should be remembered that until now in the Bundesliga match, Dormund has never lost when playing as the host. So I think the possibility of this match will end in a draw

However I don't see it being a big problem for Leverkusen even though facing Dortmund will put a little more pressure on them and I'm sure Xabi Alonso understands the team's need to beat them. A draw would be much better even though it would benefit Bayern Munich because then Leverkusen could continue to approach Bayern Munich's points. Bayern Munich must indeed be wary of Leverkusen because their spirit is still quite strong as a candidate for the previous season's champion and they will certainly try to defend the title by any means and this will give Leverkusen a little confidence.
