Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Fesatmas]

now it's official - bayer leverkusen sacks Gerardo Seoane and immediately introduces his successor. with Xabi Alonso comes a coach who has been very successful at national team level, making spain world champions in 2010 and european champions in 2008 and 2012. most recently he coached the second team of real sociedad

It was just a matter of time after the failed again in the Champions League and lost there game against FC Porto.
I thought the til waiting about the next weekend and how it goes and Leverkusen making there final decision from there.
Xabi Alonso will be for sure bring some new wind into the team and hopefully they win against Schalke to get out of the relegation zone.

Xabi Alonso hopes to soon bring about a change for Leverkusen and rise from the relegation zone. Their opponent is Schalke who are both down. This could be a stepping stone for Xabi Alonso to get his first win in the match. The legacy left by the previous coach made Xabi Alonso have to work extra to build Leverkusen. I want to see how he works with a team that is in a slump, for sure he will build from scratch with a scheme he likes.

Xabi Alonso has no history with a team as a manager except Real Sociedad B. Therefore this is a quite big risk to take for Leverkusen.

Yes, I think so, I thought Tuchel who is very credible in managing a big team is potential for that position. but now, we can't say anything. maybe they want Xabi because his popularity, not as an achievement as a coach, because he hasn't. But we must be optimistic, Xabi is one who has talent like his partner on the national team Xavi. Maybe like Xavi's situation where moving to an unknown club can rise up Leverkusen from the degradation zone.

Leverkusen's situation was chaotic and then they recruited Xabi Alonso as a coach who didn't have much experience to coach a big team in a top league, so it was a mistake. See how legendary players then coached big teams in top leagues like Lampard, Gerarrad and even Xavi at Barcelona who currently have a great squad but it's still difficult to get perfect results. Moreover, Leverkusen currently needs a coach who really has good experience to take the team out of the relegation zone, so they should recruit a coach who can promise good results, not for a gamble with a coach who doesn't have much experience.

[Z-tight]

If Kimmich and Müller really can't play, Borussia Dortmund's chances for a win will of course be higher, IMHO. However, we won't know for sure until Friday.

Even if Muller and Kimmich are unavailable, i do not feel it makes Dortmund's chances of a victory higher, in my opinion Muller has not been at his best this season, and bayern have enough attacking threat to carry on without worrying about Muller's absence. Sane, Mane, Gnabry and even Musiala are all having a good season so far, and they have been in the news more than Muller, surely Muller is very important, but he can be well replaced, there is so much quality attackers in the team.

Kimmich too is very important, but the club can also replace him, that is why bayern is a giant team, if these players don't play and Dortmund should beat bayern, it is surely because Dortmund were the better or luckier team that day, and not because of the two absentees.

Maybe it's true that experience will be very influential for a coach, but I don't agree if you say an inexperienced coach will not bring big changes to the team he holds. I will not punish them that the steps they take are wrong, because I want to see first how far their steps can be said to be bad or not. We can see from what they said about Xavi first coming to Barcelona, their doubts are not much different from what you say today. I saw the big changes he brought even though he was very inexperienced. In the end the trust in him had now increased.

[el kaka22]

Xabi is not a bad manager for sure, and he knows bundesliga and a bit about them, but I do not think that he would be a sudden change and make them a better team overnight. When a new manager comes in during the middle of the season that usually means it is going to be a tough deal since he wasn't part of the transfer window. Why is that so important?

Because, we are talking about a situation where manager will buy players that would fit his system a lot better, when he comes in during this period, he can't really buy the players that would fit his system, and instead find a system that fits the players he has, and that causes a little bit of trouble.

Leverkusen's first league game with Xabi Alonso is going to be against Schalke in two days. We will see if he will start making a difference for Leverkusen already by this game. Schalke are another team in poor condition now. These teams have really similar statistics in the standings as well. However Leverkusen have a much more qualified squad than them. They only need to make use of this advantage and they can get the win comfortably. I hope that they will have a good start with their new manager by winning this game.

I guess and think we will see a few changes maybe but not to much as the team is not really so big different from the last season to the current one.
If they dont win against Schalke then i dont know whats wrong with Leverkusen , but i expect a win for them on the coming weekend.
And they playing at home so i guess thats also a advantage for Leverkusen , but they should not underestimate Schalke.

Leverkusen is a renowned team in the Bundesliga. We are used to seeing this team at the top of the points table. But this season Leverkusen's performance is very poor. Leverkusen lost the first three matches. Although it still managed to win the match, they were unable to continue the winning streak. Out of 8 matches they lost 5 matches and drew 2 matches. Their defense is very weak. If Leverkusen's defenders don't play well against Schalke, I don't see any chance of them winning. Leverkusen's win or loss will depend on the performance of their defenders.

Leverkusen's performance this season needs significant improvement and it's actually quite regrettable to continue to force Gerardo Seoane until this 8th game because they could actually speed things up so it doesn't get too bad on the result.
Xabi is one of the players who might be able to lift his performance because he already knows what the Bundesliga is like because he has experienced it before, although I'm not really sure they will return to the way they were before.

Finally a series of bad results Leverkusen led to the sacking of their coach, Gerardo Seoane. Yes, the results achieved by Leverkusen are indeed very possible to end the collaboration with the coach, and today we saw that it really happened. Xabi Alonso comes with a very tough task and must improve the Leverkusen squad from every line, including improvements in the standings which are currently in the relegation zone. Xabi will start his work by laying the foundation for Leverkusen's game, I hope he can move quickly even though it's very difficult. But we'll see what Xabi will provide for this Bundesliga club.

This now means that there are already 2 big club coaches there who left after previously Tedesco had to be willing to give up his seat at Leipzig and now Gerardo Seoane is the next victim.
But it could be that this is the right decision because if it is allowed to drag on, it will be impossible for them to drop further points and continue to be in the relegation zone.

Xabi Alonso is preparing a formation that is used to destroy the opposing team's defense and this is a very difficult task because he is a new coach so it requires hard work to unite goals with the existing team, by utilizing a good team this team should be able to develop into better and have the potential to always win.

Indeed, Leverkusen must take steps to fire Gerardo Seoane, because he sees Leverkusen's performance is very bad this season. In 8 matches
in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen has only won once, because currently Leverkusen are in the relegation zone. Even Leverkusen's performance is
not too good in the Champions League, now Leverkusen is in third position, so Leverkusen have to be able to get positive results in the remaining
3 matches to qualify from the group phase. So this is a very critical situation, so I agree with Leverkusen management's decision to fire Seoane.

The problem is that I am very surprised by the decision of the Leverkusen management which appoints Xabi Alonso as the new coach of Leverkusen.
Because Xabi Alonso doesn't have experience as a coach yet, so I'm a little doubtful whether Alonso is able to make Leverkusen's performance improve.
Although Xabi Alonso played in the Bundesliga when he was a Bayern player, that does not guarantee that Alonso will become a good coach.
We will soon see Xabi Alonso's debut as Leverkusen coach, we'll see if Xabi Alonso can make Leverkusen achieve a positive result against Schalke
in the Bundesliga.

Of course, Xabi Alonso will try to prove his capability in the game against Schalke but I guess he has not gotten much familiarity with the players so we shouldn't expect him to bring an instant change completely to the team. Again I think Leverkusen is in bad shape but the team won't find it difficult to defeat Schalke because they are not having a good season likewise and this will be another advantage to Xabi if he makes his right selection very well I believe the first game will be a win for him and the fans will be glad to see Leverkusen return to winning ways.

Not only there defense is very weak , also at the moment there strikers are too , they dont score as they normal should be.
Leverkusens win will be depending on the performance of the Strikers like Schick , if they have a good day playing well they will win this game.
Maybe we will also see some changes in the team against Schalke.

I don't even think he can do that just only in a single match. Xabi needs to see the best composition. He must watch several match to make sure that if he will able take the advantage from leverkusen's player. In my opinion if this will become a very difficult thing caused by xabi needs to identify any players in the club through the real match. It needs time. Im sure he was under pressure but that's his choice to manage leverkusen.

For the todays game i expect a very nice to watching game between Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen.
Hoffenheim has a bit an advantage as they playing at home , but we know what Werder Bremen can play and they are always good for surprise.
Normaly and i guess i place my bet for a win for Hoffenheim , it can be also a draw.

the quality of the two teams is not much different, of course an interesting match will be inevitable in this match, this is quite balanced.
Hoffenheim will be seeded in this match as the match will be played at their home ground.
and to bet on Hoffenheim's win at 2.05 odds is quite wort it I think but it's a little risky because the possibility for a draw will also exist.
Hoffenheim are unbeaten at home this season and Bremen are yet to lose on the road.
Of course it will be a tough match.
thus I think betting on goals over is also better considering these two teams have been quite productive scoring goals in their last few matches.

I looked at the history of the meeting between the two and found that from the 28 meetings between the two so far, Bremen won 12 and drew 10, even so, this season we see that Hoffenheim is playing well and managed to be in 5th place in the standings. so a draw is a final score that is likely to happen.

And they playing at home so i guess thats also a advantage for Leverkusen , but they should not underestimate Schalke.

There might have a slight impact but I guess we will not even notice it, if the problem is not on the coach it is sometimes on the players so they need to cut some of the players that are not listening or not making progress at all, but apparently, some teams need a desperate change in coach as well but the case of Bayern Munich a change in the strategy because they don't have Robert Lewandowski on the team, a change of strategy that revolves around Lewandowski is really needed, but in the case of Leverkusen I really don't know, and I don't know if Xabi Alonso can change that, but let's just wait.


Quick picks for tomorrow's  game

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS SV Werder Bremen

Stake odds for this game are 1.98 for Hoffenheim while 4.00 for a draw, and 3.50 for Werder, This is the 1st time these two would clash this season, and I am expecting great results for Werder I really don't know why but I think they can pass Hoffenheim this time, and sometimes Werder can really surprise us, for me my pick is Werder Bremen,

Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS FC Schalke 04

Stake odds for this game are 1.50 for Leverkusen while 4.90 for a draw and 6.00 for Schalke, after Xabi Alonso changed as the coach for Leverkusen it seems that many are having faith in the new coach for Leverkusen to make a win in this match, and I will surely get on board to that hype, not going to make any bet but my pick is Leverkusen,

FC Augsburg VS VfL Wolfsburg

Stake odds for this game are 2.95 for Augsburg while 3.45 for a draw and 2.45 for Wolfsburg, This is pretty much remarkable having close odds and Wolfsburg slightly has an edge, but in this match, I really like Wolfsburg, but it could also become a draw game, but I would go with the Wolfsburg this time,

FSV Mainz 05 VS RB Leipzig

Stake odds for this game are 3.05 for Mainz while 3.55 for a draw and 2.32 for Leipzig, In the recent game of Leipzig in the champion league they crush Celtic 3 - 1 so I am giving my pick for Leipzig and I really like this team, to be champion this season of the Bundesliga, so my pick is non-other than Leipzig,

Whether Kimmich and Müller will be available at FC Bayern remains in question. Both tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago.
Deniz Aytekin was appointed as the referee for the top match, acorrding to the German newspaper Bild:

If Kimmich and Müller really can't play, Borussia Dortmund's chances for a win will of course be higher, IMHO. However, we won't know for sure until Friday.

Kimmich and Muller will probably not be able to play in the match against Dortmund because of their infection. There are almost no restrictions on Coronavirus anymore, as far as I know. In spite of this, it is still a very big problem, so the players will have to be very careful not to spread the virus from one to another through their contact with each other. In this situation, I think the most sensible decision is obviously going to be for these two players not to play in this match.

But anyway, I will keep Bayern Munich ahead in this matchup regardless of what happens.

currently, both teams have the same points then it's definitely Dortmund will not waste the opportunity to win in this match. in the few matches they do, both of them had almost the same result. the dortmund squad I see is also in their best performance, moukoko and bellingham are predicted to put a lot of pressure on bayern, this match will be played at home to dortmund, so it looks like a slim win for dortmund will happen in this match.
