Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[DaNNy001]

Union performed optimally at the beginning of the season, even when strong teams like Munich also had problems with their squad. Union Berlin had the advantage of playing very well. but unfortunately, they are not able to maintain the consistency of their game.

I still think there are going to make it into the top 4 teams this year..this boys have played very well and are putting their best efforts into the game but certainly they will bad times as a team but the way they can be assured to get back with the same form is that they should always keep up with the mindset that all the other teams in the league are just like them.
Playing in a league where only one team remains dominant is really difficult especially with the class this superior team is possessing..teams like Bayern Munich are used to the pressure the league bring and I will say certainly are not affected by this..
Teams experiencing this for the first time will certainly be affected so I think that's what going on with union Berlin team

I think it is going to be very tough for Union Berlin as in contract to some of the other clubs, they are not used to playing three competitions at the same time. Dortmund and Leipzig are very well used to it and then there is a number of clubs that I think will be fiercely fighting for that third rank. I could be wrong though and they get back to full strength and manage it well, but experience can be an important aspect that might set some teams apart from Union Berlin.

The whole thing is hard to be assessed at the moment because nobody knows when certain clubs get kicked out of the champions league or the europa league, which in turn would mean for some clubs that there is less physical pressure on the players and they can focus 100% on one or two competitions instead of three.

That kid has been watched by many teams for a long time now, he has been playing Bundesliga football since he was 15-16 years old and still a very very young player, I am not saying that he will become a great striker like Haaland, but unless he turns out to be a bust, he is going to be a decent striker for sure.

He is at that 40-50 million euro valuation potential if you ask me, that’s not too bad and he will definitely worth that if he keeps getting more and more appearances, and the older he gets the more goals he will score over time. He is just too young right now to do anything major, which is why I believe that we need time before he leaves.

[Raflesia]

Union's performance was getting worse as time went on and 2 goals in 6 minutes clearly made it very difficult for them to get into the rhythm of the game.
A red card in 20 minutes of the first half also made them worse off and with this it is clear that they will definitely be in a lot of trouble.
The massacre occurred and now the top 5 positions have changed completely because at this time Freiburg and Leipzig immediately moved up to 2 and 3 positions because previously Frankfurt also failed to win after playing quite difficult against Mainz.

Well i have expected that they won't last long on the top.

Here they go ... dropped down from 1st to 5th now in just a couple days as they perform awfully day by day week by week. They might ended at 10th or below at best. It's just their time! The season wonder has come to an end in november for union berlin unfortunately.

They are too serious by participating in all the competitions they play which actually backfires for them because it makes them too tired.
I personally feel they will be able to compete like last season to fight for a position in the Europa League zone but this really needs a better scheme than now because right now they are very messy and this holiday is still very long so Fischer still has a lot of time to improve Union's performance.

This is the first time they are doing so many competitions with a fairly tight schedule so it is difficult for them to do that and this reminds me of Atalanta last season.
I personally still feel that Union should focus more on one of the competitions which they think is profitable.
The reason is quite simple, apart from making it less tiring for them, this is also felt to be better than continuing to push through all the competitions which in the end will make them fall even deeper.

Look like they are quite busy, but I feel is not a big problem when the team can manage the squad in each match. Just focusing on what event they want to target be a champion. And, I think it's hard to back to Bundesliga after being eliminated from the top 4, just more focus to Europa league is better than DFB and Bundesliga, if they can go along all match, that will make the squad not accustomed that make injury and tired.

[YuginKadoya]

Union Berlin started this season with an incredible performance in the Bundesliga, but I knew they weren't in a title race because they didn't have the capacity of players to compete for the title, and we can see that now due to their inconsistency; from the top of the table, they are now fifth in the Bundesliga table after going three games without a win. I don't think they can beat Ajax in the Europa League, so that will be their final stop in the competition because Ajax can't afford to be kicked out by Union Berlin.

We are seeing an incredible shift for most teams, now that Leverkusen are doing great again I think they will eventually overtake every team on top and will land the 4th or 3rd spot if they continue their winnings and right now I am pretty much impressed with Leipzig for getting an overtake over the position, a great shifting really occur and pretty much sad to say Union Berlin has caught up to this shifting and right now those team in the bottom have gathered their momentum in making consecutive wins,

For Union Berlin, which was previously in the top four with a pretty good time, but in the end Union Berlin looks like it will get out of the European zone in the standings.
Because at this moment Union Berlin has dropped out of the top four and is in fifth place in the standings for the time being, and at the same time Dortmund is right below Union Berlin with a two-point gap.

If I consider what happened with Union Berlin before, it is very possible that the teams under Union Berlin will take over the fifth and sixth positions.
Because the teams under Union Berlin are teams that are very likely to be able to continue to catch up like Dortmund, Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach and of course these three teams have the ability to be able to threaten Union Berlin's position.

For me, this is the real Union Berlin they are pretty much lucky to be there on the top at the beginning of the season, and right now as I have said the team is really shifting and getting out their true performance or potential, just like what Leipzig have done in the previews season, but for Union Berlin, I think they can still managed to stay in the 1st division even though they have dropped in the following Championship League,

About Freiburg and Leipzig they have looked very good so far, so it seems that the two teams do have the ability to be consistent and to be able to maintain their position in the top four.
But let's not forget that Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in fourth place. Eintracht Frankfurt is also a team that has managed to rise quickly at this moment.
So that the three teams in second, third and fourth place or Freiburg, Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are the three teams that promise better consistency this season compared to Union Berlin and Dortmund.

Leipzig have done this in the previous season, getting a bad start at the beginning of the season, while Freiburg has kept their smooth sailing in keeping their pace alight, I think just like in the previous season they are still the same, and if they keep that pace they might even take Bayern Munich, well we may never know

Frankfurt is doing great right now and I am surprised because this is a team that landed the 11 positions last season, and I think they got a really great break during the shifting of the teams,

That makes a lot of sense, because having a focus on one competition is a very good thing for Union Berlin because considering that Union Berlin's own strength is not the same as other teams in general. So focusing on one competition is a very good option for Union Berlin rather than having to chase several trophies in different competitions but the result will be nothing at all.

I think Union Berlin should focus on the Europa League because in the Bundesliga Union Berlin is starting to look difficult to get to the top. Moreover, Bayern Munich has also started to dominate the Bundesliga again, so that Union Berlin must have another target in the Bundesliga if they want to enter a better competition next season.

Union Berlin's performance in the last few matches has been very poor. But I can't accept that their performance has deteriorated as they have focused on the Europa League. They are playing well in the Europa League. But Union Berlin did not dominate any match and won. Their gameplay was average. They lost trucks, and the performance of their defenders worsened. In a few matches Union Berlin lost points only because of poor performances from defenders.

[X-ray]

in the last 5 matches, union berlin has lost 3 times and that makes me give up on betting for them. in the future I will not care about the matches they will do, including in the European league

Union berlin gets a strong attacks on its mental after won so many matches without even losing once since early season but the performance has been going down since it was loosing against bochum. It seems like bochum was giving very bad impact to the berlin.

union berlin is clear proof that teams don't always need luck, they have to have a good strategy and the union doesn't have a good strategy. fell to rank 5, union berlin hopes to become champions or runners-up in the Bundesliga this season have been dashed

It seems like that no chance for union to be a winner again in the bundesliga. Bayern has come back again and dominating everything in the bundesliga. I think that union berlin will be finished at the top 4. it's more than enough for union caused by it would able to go to the champion league

I agree with you, that this is the first time that Union Berlin is in fifth place in the German league standings, of course Union Berlin must experience the European League because it will lift the players' mentality if they finish in fourth place in the German league class, Union Berlin outperforms Borussia Dortmund who only 2 points adrift, of course Union Berlin must stay focused on defending their points, because what we know Borussia Dortmund is a Champions League subscription club, it's impossible for a club of Borussia Dortmund's class not to get a Champions League ticket, of course all the top clubs will play tighter when the international break ends, because we know that some clubs don't want to force their players to play hard in the last few matches, because we know that players want to strengthen their country in the World Cup, so many clubs have had bad dreams in yesterday's match, so no wonder, if we see the appearance of the top clubs playing inconsistent as it should be.

When the season started newly, the energy that Union Berlin put in made me believe that they are candidates of the Champions League, which means they would have to remain at the top four of the Bundesliga. But when they remained at the top of the table for sometime I was happy with them but the way they crashed down from 1st to 5th within small amount of duration made me understand that Union rep Berlin are not yet candidate of the Champions League. They should atleast try to go to the Europa League

I think it's a little difficult, they will now prepare to face Ajax even though this is not too scary because Ajax this season is not too scary but still they are also not an easy opponent to face.
It would be very good if they qualify first in the play off because they will definitely get an additional bonus first but if they are not too capable I think being in the Champions Zone should still be targeted by Union in the Bundesliga because indeed this can still be apart from for adding to their club's income from a financial perspective can also be a lesson to make them even stronger.

That makes a lot of sense, because having a focus on one competition is a very good thing for Union Berlin because considering that Union Berlin's own strength is not the same as other teams in general.

The problem is, will they be comfortable there by focusing on the Europa League? I think this is also difficult because indeed I still feel that even if they qualify for the Play off later they won't be able to talk more even though sometimes the Europa League has many surprises just like last season where Frankfurt was able to stand at the end.
Now Union is hard to see the same as Frankfurt did. The reason is simple, because currently the Europa League for the clubs is much more difficult than imagined because there are so many big teams now.

I don't think they can beat Ajax in the Europa League, so that will be their final stop in the competition because Ajax can't afford to be kicked out by Union Berlin.

In my opinion, even on paper, Ajax is not much stronger than Union Berlin (compared to last season, this is no longer the same team). Therefore, I think that although Ajax will be the favorite, Union Berlin has a good chance to win, they have time to figure out what happened to them in the last games and correct the mistakes. But it seems to me that Union Berlin will first of all get into the top 4 of the Bundesliga, and Ajax will be more focused on winning the Europa League. After last year's disappointment, they will try to take the title that they can afford.

I think it will be an even game between Union Berlin and also Ajax, so it's not easy to predict who will win the game. Both teams have their weaknesses, when talking about Union Berlin it is very clear that they are not able to maintain their consistency so that in the Bundesliga they have to be thrown from the position they have occupied for weeks. Both teams have hope to beat each other.

Urs fischer can make good rotations when they have busy schedules. they should learn from other teams who have done this every season. union berlin recently has been very inconsistent in the domestic league where 4 defeats have been received in a very short time. union berlin also had to be knocked out of the top 4 positions previously union berlin was comfortable in first place in the standings. union berlin have a chance to improve their performance in this season and i hope urs fischer can do well even in this winter window they have to look for some more players to strengthen their squad to make their hopes come true this season.

After so long managing to be at the top of the bundesliga standings, finally Union Berlin returned to its habitat, namely the occupants club outside the top 4, Union previous performance seemed extraordinary but slowly lost its consistency, for now I see Union Berlin may not be strong enough to face Ajax, so I am quite doubtful if Union Berlin will be able to beat Ajax, Although  Ajax is no longer the same as last season Ajax when was strengthened by Anthony but still Ajax is a strong club and will usually play impressively in European competitions.

In the beginning, many said don't rush to give predictions when Union Berlin displays something extraordinary. And now all of that is proven by Union Berlin being thrown from the top of the standings even by dropping several ranks. This is a problem that is always faced by most teams who are not used to leading the standings and in the end they have to sink because of mistakes they have made themselves. Moreover, with the difference in points that are so tight, it makes one defeat will knock them out of several rankings.

There are many factors that make Union Berlin unable to maintain its consistency in the Bundesliga. in the end they slipped, and suffered four defeats from a total of 15 matches this season. especially in the last 3 matches, Union Berlin found it difficult to maintain their consistency with makeshift players. after losing to Leverkusen with a landslide score, drawing to Augsburg and again suffering a heavy defeat to Freiburg, which in fact Union Berlin has always dominated based on H2H in the history of their meetings. but alas, with a busy match schedule, several players were injured plus tired.
in the end, they were unable to maintain the leader of the standings until in the end Bayern Munich took over the leader of the standings again.they have worked very hard, but were unable to maintain consistency and had to settle for being in 5th place.

after the world cup break is over, Union berlin will play a playoff round where their opponent is Ajax.yes, it seems difficult to overthrow Ajax, which in fact is a team that is stronger than Union Berlin. however, that does not mean they will be simply conquered by Ajax. there is still time to recover their mentality and rebuild their form. What is certain is that in the playoffs later, Union Berlin will appear all out to offset the strength of their opponents.

[emrecemsan]

The Bundesliga has started to be going great for Bayern Munich again. They are back on track with the great results they have got for some weeks. Their current performance level is not much different than last season now. That's what I've been afraid of since the beginning of the season. Because like most people I've also got bored to see Bayern Munich's dominating the Bundesliga for many many years. They have already been winning the title for 10+ years and it looks like they will add another one to their collection by the end of this season.

I know that there are still teams close to him in the league standings. But they have never been as consistent as Bayern Munich so far. We have all been familiar with this scenario for years. Bayern Munich will just pull away from that at a point and become the champions comfortably. At least the first times of the season has been enjoyable so far as we have seen a different team leading for some weeks.
