Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

Borussia Moenchengladbach ? - ? Borussia Dortmund

One thing about cup ties is that it has nothing to do with form or league position; this makes it an open tie between both teams. Moenchengladbach  and Dortmund are firing with sancho and haaland back on the scoresheet recently. I would like Dortmund to qualify; with both teams scoring
 What do you predict?

Both teams are strong enough. Both teams have a chance to win the match. The team that can take advantage of all the opportunities on the field will be able to win. Yet in this match, I want to keep Dortmund ahead. Because they will play at their home ground. And the players on their own field are mentally cheerful. So they are able to perform well in their own field.

That is normal for any team and not just Leverkussen.When you come right out of a surprise elimination you cannot directly be in a psychological state that gives you the opportunity to win the upcoming game.This is done only from really big teams which can react directly but Leverkussen is far from being a big team since the years 2000 when they even reached the final of European competitions.

You are very right about it. Leverkusen haven't had any success in the international tournaments for a very long time. They shockingly lost to Young Boys in their home match and got eliminated. It must be devastating for them. But on the other hand, they had a really nice performance in the Freiburg match actually but Freiburg still managed to win somehow.

The result against Bern was embarrassing. But it was even more embarrassing to be eliminated from the DBF cup against a fourth division club (Essen) a few weeks ago. Something is wrong with the team overall.

By the way: Today Gladbach plays against Dortmund in the DFB Cup quarter-finals. Dortmund is the clear favorite, which also underlines the past results. Nonetheless, a double chance on Gladbach with @ 1.98 is very interesting and I bet a small amount on it.

To be honest, it's quite interesting since we are talking about the Cup. On the other hand and if Haaland plays (even in the second half), then Dortmund will win.
IMO it will be wiser to wait until the announcement of lineups, to have a clearer view.

Schalke are going to play a home game against Mainz this week. Schalke are the last with 9 points and Mainz are the second last with 17 points. Schalke didn't get any win (2D 3L) and Mainz got 2 wins (2W 1D 2L) in the last 5 games in the league. Schalke have won only 1 home game (1W 2D 9L). Mainz have won only 2 away games (2W 3D 6L). In the last 5 head-to-head games, Schalke won twice, Mainz won once and 2 games ended in a draw. In this season, Schalke drew with Mainz 2-2 away on Nov 7, 2020.

Missing player(s) at Schalke: Nassim Boujellab (1 goal), Ralf Fährmann, Matija Nastasic, Mark Uth (2 goals), Frederik Rønnow, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Steven Skrzybski, Kilian Ludewig,
                                          Salif Sané, Gonçalo Paciência (1 goal)
Missing player(s) at Mainz: Dominik Kohr, Edimilson Fernandes

Schalke continue to be demolished by their opponents. They conceded 9 goals and scored only 1 in their last two games. It seems like it is impossible for them to stay in the league. But Mainz are not that bad now. They got important points on the last weeks and they have a big potential to stay. I think both teams will score at least one goal in this game and Mainz will win it.

dortmund has won the game 1-0 (goal by Sancho in the 66 min.) and has thus entered the semifinals of the dfb-cup.
2 more quarterfinal matches will be played today:
leipzig - wolfsburg and the surprise team from essen will meet the other surprise team from kiel at home.

I wouldn't say it is embarrassing to lose against a fourth division club in the DFB cup. You know the saying "The DFB cup has its own rules"

I know that there is no point in talking about these two teams and yes they are below the Standings of the Bundesliga League but Mainz was a formidable team back on 2008-2009 Bundesliga and become 2nd in the standings back and in 6th Position on 2015-2016 what I am saying is Mainz FC is a good team but right now they are not in their good shape because of the even formidable Bayern, I know Mainz can beat Gladbach but with a lot of struggle but again they can surely do that,

Well, all I want to say is back then Mainz FC was my favorite team until Bayern turn the tables around and I want them to surely come back in a lot of ways they can possibly do, and yet Schalke can be an easy win for them in my opinion.

I think it is another good chance for Mainz to get a win. Schalke have been so terrible that they were literally demolished in the last two games. I don't expect them to be very focused on this game. Mainz have a nice form recently and I think they will manage to defeat Schalke away.

Schalke just got his 5th manager since the beggining of the current season... they are currently lost but i wouldnt be shocked if they got a draw or maybe even a win in this match,while mainz need the win badly to stay in the league.

[bct_ail]

Actually, the saying is: A new broom sweeps clean. But with the new coach Grammozis from Schalke, I wouldn't say that.

I want to bet on Mainz's victory in this match. Hopefully, Mainz will not lose this match. They have played great against strong opponents like Union Berlin, Leverkusen, and Gladbach. They beat Union Berlin and Gladbach and shared points with Leverkusen. Hopefully, they will get 3 valuable points against Schalke 04

Yes, the results Mainz got against bigger teams were really surprising for many of us. They weren't actually a bad team in old times too but they are having a terrible season now. I still believe in them about not relegating from Bundesliga this season. I think the teams most likely to relegate are Schalke, Bielefeld and Hertha.

I'm pretty sure that the schalke officials already made their peace with playing in the second division next year. Therefore the contract of the new coach goes until 2022 and it also valid for the second league.
I also hope mainz wins this game. But now that schalke has nothing more to lose because they are basically already relegated it can still be dangerous for mainz.

In the DFB Pokal quarter finals, there was a game between Gladbach and Dortmund last night. I didn't enjoy the game very much as both teams were really clumsy and had big difficulties in scoring. Haaland's goal was cancelled because of a foul decision. But 13 minutes after that, Sancho scored the only goal of the game and they managed to advance to the semi finals.

[tygeade]

Honestly there is no point on firing any coach at this moment for Schalke, they are gone, they will not have any solution to this at all. They fired coaches, got players, did everything to  change things around and they failed it, so as you can see there isn't any return from this at all. They could have been doing better if they had the chance but by the looks of it they are not going to have any wins at all anytime soon.

They had 1 win and 6 ties in 23 games, that means they had 16 loss as well, so when a team is playing against schalke it is wise to wager on schalke to lose, doesn't matter who they are playing as well, if you lose that you can be sure that next time you can bet more and win because it is obvious that they can win or tie maybe once but not twice those are the odds, and in a miracle if they do that, you can always wager on the third game.

I forgot about it completely.. M'Gladbach 0-1 Dortmund yesterday which was expected io regarding the awful performance of M'Gladbach in the last games. Today there is 2 games Essen - Kiel, no idea about them, and Leipzig vs Wolfsburg, well that will be a hard one and I expect it to end with penalties. Not sure which one to win but Leipzig maybe?

[kayiboyu]

One of the delightful matches this weekend is Gladbach-Leverkusen. Actually both teams were too bad on the last weeks and so both of them will be very hungry for a win undoubtedly. Leverkusen defeated them 4-3 this season before. I hope we can see many goals in this match too. It is very hard to make a prediction about who can win this. I'll most probably bet on both teams to score.

kiel won 3:0 at rot-weiß essen today. that's not a big surprise, though. the other game, leipzig against wolfsburg, doesn't end until 10:30 pm
if there's no extension. on february, schalke 04 will probably get 3 points again. they're playing against mainz 05.
hat will probably be the very last chance to possibly still achieve the miracle of gelsenkirchen.

In the final quarter final tie; RasenBallsport Leipzig defeats Wolfsburg 2 - 0 and advance to the Semi final of the DFB Cup. Other semi finalist include Borussia Dortmund,  Holstein Kiel and the winner of the tie between Jahn Regensburg ? - ? Werder Bremen

Who do you think is winning the cup competition this season ?

Do you really still believe in a miracle? In my eyes, relegation is already a foregone conclusion.
Rarely has it been so clear to me that a team will be relegated. But precisely because it's a team like Schalke 04, it's somehow also something special.
I don't think the signing of new coach Grammozis can have any influence on that. 

But as I said, I'm also happy to be convinced of the opposite... a change of coach in a critical situation has brought about miracles after all.
