Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[rendravolt]

I see the German league to be a very competitive league just like la Liga. I know so many minds are with Bayern Munich, but a clear look at the Bundesliga table could tell that there is still much work left for the teams to do in other to protect and hold their position in the table firmly. Seeing that the point difference between two close teams in the table is not up to 5, meaning that one can be kicked out of his position just for two match losses. I presume the Bundesliga table will have a different face by march.

True, this is not talking about the two strong Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich or Dortmund, there are several new teams that are starting to enliven the standings such as SC Freiburg, Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig and Union Berlin, all of which have the chance to win the Bundesliga this season. It seems that the competition on the top 5 board is very exciting to watch, especially Bayern Munich which is not as great as the previous season which can provide up to 10 more points for its competitors.

Actually this is not a new sight in the Bundesliga, but they are only enlivening for the position of fighting for the top 4 or towards the European League at least. The dominating team that I have seen so far is only one, namely Bayern Munich. The teams mentioned such as Freiburg, Leipzig and others always enliven, but they are still below Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund is still in 6th place in the standings, the possibility for them to rise to the top 4 is very possible considering that there is still half a season before the points calculation is finished. Indeed, Bayern Munich really dominates the team I previously mentioned, Bayern Munich has always won the Bundesliga championship since two decades ago, but it is possible if later there will be a new surprise that could make it difficult for Bayern Munich to defend its Bundesliga title.

I know the nature of the German league table seems difficult to predict. It has always been difficult to see the likes of Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt above Dortmund in the Bundesliga table. For that, I don't think Leipzig, Freiburg, or Eintracht Frankfurt, will let such an opportunity sneak through their hands. I think Borrosia Dortmund has to make a beeline for the top 4, or else it will be a surprise to them. I so much believe in the capacity of the present top 4 teams.

Definitely Dortmund will be in the top 4, there are only 3 points difference between them and the third place now, so it's not a problem. Dortmund is very often left without European cups at the end of the season and then completely focuses on the Bundesliga. It is difficult for them to fight Bayern for the championship, but the Champions League will always be a priority tournament for them, because this is the best way to show what their players are capable of.

Dortmund and Bayern Munich have always been the 2 biggest teams in Germany. Dortmund has dropped slightly in recent years, but that may also be because the gap with Bayern Munich has become much larger. Just look at the last national championships. Bayern Munich has won a lot there. There was also a time when these 2 teams in Europe were also the best, but that time will not come back for Dortmund. Dortmund is very unstable this season, finishing 2nd is not that easy with this team without Haaland.

Yes, you can't say that because Borussia Dortmund can't maximize the potential they have. This season it has become very difficult for them to maintain the position they have so far won in 2nd place in the standings. That is inseparable from the increase in the competitors they have here, instead they have decreased in terms of appearance. And this is also a problem that should be overcome if they don't always sell the players they have for the profit they will get. Now, they had to try even harder to stand in 2nd place.

I'm not sure about Dortmund's priority for a title, because I think Dortmund's priority is just about business and big profits by letting go of the star players they have. Therefore, I personally am not sure when you say Dortmund's priority is for the Champions League, because usually teams that have priority for the Champions League will also try to do better in the local league first.
If even in the Bundesliga Dortmund can't break Bayern Munich's domination, then how can Dortmund win the Champions League title, at least that's the theory.

Not only that, even Dortmund's performance this season in the Bundesliga is quite chaotic, because usually Dortmund has always been the shadow of Bayern Munich. But what happened this season is that even Dortmund are still trying to get back into the top four.
With a result like that, I'm really not sure about Dortmund. Because at the same time the teams that are now in the top four look better and are more prepared to be able to maintain their position in the top four.

Usually, Dortmund always overshadows Bayern Munich in the runner-up position of the Bundesliga. but in this season, I'm not sure Dortmund will continue with their positive trend after the Bundesliga has been restarted. because after all Dortmund's performance is not in a very profitable position, and is currently ranked 6th in the Bundesliga standings, two points difference with Union Berlin and Frankfurt. RB Leipzig is in 3rd place, above it is Freiburg, which has scored 30 points, only two points away from the top of the standings, namely, Bayern Munich.

I remain optimistic, Bayern will continue to advance with positive trends to increase the distance of points from the ranking below.  as for Freiburg, it is most likely that RB Leipzig will overtake their position in second place. Frankfurt will also find it difficult to maintain their ranking, or they could end up in the top 4 until the end of this season. Dortmund still has a chance to rank 3rd on the condition that they must appear consistent and ignore the Champions League rather than both of them falling apart.

if you like to watch the german bundesliga and are a fan of fc.bayern münchen you can be happy next year. the first two games will be broadcasted live on free-tv .
sat1 will broadcast both games live on free-tv. the first game on january 20th against leipzig and on january 24th the game against köln .

That's strange but also nice for all those who can't or don't want to afford DAZN and Sky. 30€ for DAZN per month is not much, but it was cheaper recently. There are not many days left until the Leipzig vs Bayern game. Before that, there are still a few indoor tournaments. The Schauinsland Travel Cup is on 08.01.23 and it's for a social cause. And it a few more tournaments on the next cold days.

The same as what I think about Borussia Dortmund. It will be more realistic when they prioritize the Bundesliga before they prioritize the Champions League. I'm quite sure that many clubs will prioritize the Champions League, but that's not enough because they have to do their best in the domestic league before moving to a higher place. Indeed, nothing will be impossible, but they also have to be more realistic, how can they compete with stronger clubs, while in the Bundesliga itself they are having a lot of difficulties.
Bayern Munich, who we know are very superior in the Bundesliga, are still having a lot of trouble when they are in the Champions League, especially for Borussia Dortmund.

[Ayers]

I respect all the opinions about Bayern Munich's goalkeeper preference from now on. When it comes to my opinion, I think Livakovic should be signed. Bono and him both have been very impressive of course but I still think Livakovic has more talent than Bono. His being younger is another plus for Livakovic. Besides it would be easier to convince Dinamo Zagreb than Sevilla. Livakovic's current market value is only 8.5 million euros. Of course this performance will make an increase in his value.
Still Bayern Munich can sign him by not spending an enormous amount of money. I think he would be definitely worth it because I don't think Ulreich is credible enough for the Champions League.

Livaković made a few mistakes in the match against Argentina in the World Cup. But I think we have to say the defense was also not really good from Croatia. He is 27 years old. I think that under Bayern Munich, he will be able to improve further and become better. Right now he can be a very good option for Bayern Munich. Because I do not think that they will need to spend too much to get this player.

But I have to say one thing. Whoever they bring in right now, they cannot expect results from the first day. They will have to give him time.

Another thing is, I believe that Livaković is probably the most reliable keeper among all we discussed. He should be the perfect choice among the others for Champions League as well.

At this point, Bayern Munich really needs a backup goalkeeper for Manuel Neuer as he is aging and his farm is declining over time. Livakovic seems like a great replacement for him as we have seen that this guy has been on top of his farm in this World Cup so far.

I personally think that he's going to be a good fit for Bayern Munich. And if they buy him now at a fair price of 20M to 25,000,000, I think Bayern might be bagging a great deal and will be doing a great investment for the future.

[Velvet78]

Livakovic can still be considered as a young goalkeeper now. 27 is not an old age for a goalkeeper at all. He can still improve this performance much more than this if he plays for a bigger team in a prestigious league. The Bundesliga is one of them therefore it would be lovely to see him playing for Bayern Munich honestly.

In the absence of Neuer, they shouldn't just rely on Ulreich. He isn't that much of a credible goalkeeper especially in big games. They might be in trouble in the Champions League.

Maybe the top four teams you see now are the best teams, but the second to fourth positions could still change if Dortmund and Union Berlin can bounce back in the second half of this season in the Bundesliga. Because those two teams are not far behind from the top four teams you see now. And the possibility of experiencing changes in the remainder of this season is still likely to be greater, because the season is still ongoing and not finished.

[bitgolden]

There is no doubt in my mind that Frankfurt have done a terrific job in the German League so far, and I'm quite impressed with their performances. It is very unlikely that they will be able to climb into the top-four position after almost half of the season is over.

As a matter of fact, I was not expecting them to even be in the top six position. Despite this, they have redeemed themselves and they have done exceptionally well. They have scored 32 goals in only 15 matches, which is a huge amount considering they've only played 15 matches. My opinion is that what they really need to improve on is their defense, since they have conceded 24 goals, which is quite a bit in my opinion. It really is my hope that they will be able to finish in the top four and finish the season on a high.

Considering they are doing fine at the fourth position but also there are other teams, like fifth Berlin is also at the same points, and Dortmund is at sixth trailing with just 2 points. These means that there is a chance that we could see Frankfurt dropping or they could end up winning more games and they could go higher as well, in that case Berlin and Dortmund would have to just pass the higher standing teams in the future.

I can't say much about Bundesliga because aside from Bayern being great, all others is a risk and usually not an easy thing to predict. In any other league I would say Bayern first, Dortmund second, Leipzig third and Frankfurt fourth but as we have seen so far that's not the case.

A first place for Bayern Munich also seems to me to be a fait accompli. No one is going to change that. They had a mediocre start to the season, but are now back at the top with simple play. Dortmund could be 2nd, but I don't know if they are stable enough for that. The 2nd place could also go to RB Leipzig and that Dortmund will then become 3rd. 4th place for Frankfurt would mean a top season. Perhaps that is also the highest achievable for that team at the moment, other teams are just stronger. On a good day they can still beat Dortmund or Leipzig I think.

The chance is still there but with a note they have to start with something good now because they are still very lacking in terms of consistency. The absence of a pure striker for them is still very burdensome until now, hopefully there will be improvements in the current attack because waiting for Haller I think is still a little difficult because they need to secure the champions league zone.

It really is my hope that they will be able to finish in the top four and finish the season on a high.

Indeed they need to get players that have a sole purpose on defense which means they will sacrifice their offense to give way on defense, but most of the time players would surely want the limelight on them and make it big by getting some goal,

for me Frankfurt is not a bad team, they are now more decent than the last season, and actually offensive wise they got something that other teams should be afraid of they have enhanced their offense since last season, and pretty much they are lucky with the departure of both Halland and Lewandowski in the Bundesliga for me they surely now have a chance in snatching the championship from Bayern Munich, or even landed on the 2nd standing of the Bundesliga,

As far as I know club income from TV rights is significant only in the Premier League. Therefore, Frankfurt would be happy to remain in their current position only because 4th place provides a direct ticket to the Champions League where the club's income is significant. But it will be difficult for them to hold this position as Dortmund are behind, plus Union Berlin will probably get back in business and play well again.

The 4th standing of the Bundesliga is very good enough in my opinion because they could surely enter the UEFA Championship League, but surely Union Berlin and Dortmund will keep on buzzing in for some payback for me, there is likely little chance for these two teams to move forward 1st Dortmunds list of injuries and suspension, and with Union Berlin, I think they just got lucky at the beginning of the season, so it is highly unlikely that Frankfurt will lose that position this is just what I see, maybe a shifting position with RB Leipzig could be a possible outcome for now, but further development I will still see to make sure,

[Ryu_Ar1]

Frankfurt would be happy if the current ranking is the final ranking of the season. They have unprecedented successes there for a club that has not achieved much in recent years. And financially they will also be well off. You also have a lot of television money in Germany, so it is not only attractive from a sporting point of view to finish high. The higher you finish, the more interest you will have in the television money that will then be distributed.

As far as I know club income from TV rights is significant only in the Premier League. Therefore, Frankfurt would be happy to remain in their current position only because 4th place provides a direct ticket to the Champions League where the club's income is significant. But it will be difficult for them to hold this position as Dortmund are behind, plus Union Berlin will probably get back in business and play well again.

True, the fact that the difference between the bundesliga and the EPL is very big is definitely felt so it will be very good for Frankfurt to be in that zone because indeed this will definitely lift them up financially.
Their condition last season to get the Europa League was very good. on the other hand, currently entering the knock out phase at champions lageue, they will definitely get more benefits from that, so indeed their steps to get more financial now are certain they want to continue to be in the top 4 so they don't lose the bonus from being in the champions leagues.

Getting a new keeper was good for bayern. livakovic is having bigger potential for bayern as a replacement for neuer. The injury that happened with neuer already forced bayern to did a fast step for bayern to get a new keeper. Livakovic play so well with the croatia during the world cup. I think that bayern shall consider him as the best choice rather than morocco's keeper. Bayern needs to get a new quality keeper as soon as possible caused by it must also be trained before the match of champion league to come next year.
Livakovic has become the best choice for now that may be picked by bayern in january. Bayern will try to make fast step to get him as a new keeper.

[Smack That Ace]

I see the German league to be a very competitive league just like la Liga. I know so many minds are with Bayern Munich, but a clear look at the Bundesliga table could tell that there is still much work left for the teams to do in other to protect and hold their position in the table firmly. Seeing that the point difference between two close teams in the table is not up to 5, meaning that one can be kicked out of his position just for two match losses. I presume the Bundesliga table will have a different face by march.

I don't see the Bundesliga to be very competitive because no club in the league is competing with Bayern Munich.  It is possible that Bayern Munich can be in the first position from now till the league ends and no team can try to challenge them. German league can be competitive if one or two teams becomes threat to Bayern Munich. Apart from Bayern being in the first position,  other teams are competing with each other.

The problem with Bundesliga is that no team is actually competitive against Bayern Munich. And right now the way Bayern Munich is playing in the Bundesliga, I don’t think two or three teams are going to be enough to compete against them. The league will have to improve significantly to compete with Bayern Munich.

But I don’t think that is going to happen in the recent future at least. And that is why the Bundesliga is also not going to be competitive in the recent future as well. It will take a long time before any other club emerges as the competitor of Bayern Munich in this league. Or the other way is Bayern Munich will have to degrade significantly. That is also not happening.

I really think it is all just talks and Bayern Munich is still discussing the fact that Dominik Livakovic can be signed on to the team, but I see no official possibilities if they would really get him for the team because there are also talks that Yann Sommer from Dortmund is also discussed to be targeted by Bayern Munich as well, but for now, it is all just rumors if they will truly get Dominik Livakovic or Yann Sommer until there is no further information of official sign in the contract that both teams would accept the sell or trade this will still be a rumor, but I wish they could get one or good if they can get both Goalkeeper,

For now, there isn't but let's wait for the coming play if this long rest has proven a good rest for the other team, and did you see the list of injuries Bayern Munich has now not only Manuel Neuer that will definitely miss many games because his expected return will be on June 30, 2023, Marcel Sabitzer also has proven that he is also a vital player for the team, that has a yellow card suspension and may return on February 23, 2023, and Sadio Mane and right now there is no further information on when he will return for Bayern Munich or if he can compete for the world cup as Senegal's forward, right now it is a big problem because Both Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane is a tandem Bayern Munich fans love to watch, and for Senegal that really needs Mane to be there, So if there is no given date for Sadio Mane's return it will always be a crucial game for Bayern Munich,
