It’s the time in the season where the Bundesliga appears it just might have a title race. Usually, that’s followed up by domination from Bayern Munich. This year, Bayern look genuinely vulnerable for the first time in multiple years.
Their performances post-World Cup have been shaky with three consecutive draws in the league against RB Leipzig, FC Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt.
It’s opened the door for Leipzig to charge within two points of Bayern, while Borussia Dortmund are getting healthy and sit just three points back. Leipzig remain +1000 and Dortmund are +2000 to win the Bundesliga, but Bayern are clearly missing their floor raiser with Robert Lewandowski’s goals missing from the side as the central focal point of the attack.
As talented as they are, Bayern have a difficult away trip to Wolfsburg on Sunday that highlights another intriguing Bundesliga slate.
