Bayer Leverkusen has taken the Bundesliga by storm with an outstanding start to the season. With 36 points from 14 games, Leverkusen has showcased exceptional form. The team’s attack, bolstered by new signings Granit Xhaka, Victor Boniface, and Jonas Hofmann, has been prolific. They began the season with a record-setting unbeaten run of 11 matches, winning 10 and drawing one. Notably, Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso has implemented a free-flowing philosophy, leading to impressive passing accuracy. Although recent draws have slowed their progress, Leverkusen remains at the top of the table.
Bayern Munich: The Defending Champions
Bayern Munich, coming off an 11th successive Meisterschale, is determined to maintain its Bundesliga dominance. With 32 points from 13 games, Bayern has shown its goal-scoring prowess, notably with star signing Harry Kane leading the league’s goal charts with 18. Despite a hiccup with a 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern’s consistency and formidable attack make them strong contenders. Leroy Sané has been a vital contributor to the goal machine.
VfB Stuttgart: The Surprise Package
Sebastian Hoeneß’s Stuttgart has defied expectations, sitting third with 31 points from 14 games. Despite the departure of key players, Stuttgart has been a surprise package, scoring 34 goals. Striker Serhou Guirassy has been phenomenal, breaking records with 14 goals in his first eight matches.

The 3-0 Supercup victory over Bayern showcased their intent, and a 3-2 triumph against Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 14 put them back in the title race.
Borussia Dortmund: The Perennial Contenders
After narrowly missing out on the title last season, Dortmund has had a mixed start with 25 points from 14 games.
