Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[snipie]

Schalke's situation surprised me. He's promoted again in the Bundesliga this year, but they seem to have learned nothing from his relegation from the Bundesliga and are still fighting relegation. The Bundesliga, like other European leagues, does not start right away. The second half will start with the game of Leipzig and Bayern Munich on January 20 and Schalke will face away against E.Frankfurt on January 21. Schalke drew 2-2 in the last minutes of the friendly match against Osnabrück. They urgently need to strengthen the team with quality transfers or they will return to Bundesliga 2.

Schalke situation is awkward and will remain like that until they relegate this season. They have to make some serious signing and try to spend more or recruit good players in free transfer if they can..
From the first game after the resume until they will face Stuttgart by the end of February, I am not sure they could win any of the 6 games. Not saying that the remaining are easier, without counting Bayern and Dortmund..

I knew Schalke's financial situation very well. In fact, I was asking myself why a club with so much money wouldn't buy good players and work with a quality coach. So the situation was not as I thought. Money is a huge resource in today's football and if the team does not have money, it is not possible to see success. This means that Schalke will again fall into the Bundesliga 2. Are there financial problems in the once great team of Hamburg? I understand that you live in Germany?

Bayern Munich are desperately in need of a goal keeper to replace Neuer who is aged and also injured. Neuer is getting close to finishing his contract at Bayern with no further plans of renewing so Bayern are desperately in need of a suitable replacement, someone that can fit in the boots of the departing Neuer. I can't say if Aston Villa will be willing to let Emiliano Martinez leave especially not in the middle of the season, probably a big money offer could do the trick.

[bering]

Freiburg seem to be more successful than the previous season for now. There haven't been many players to leave the team compared to the previous season actually. Schlotterbeck was an important loss for the team of course. He joined Dortmund for 20 million euros and Freiburg lost a young talent in defense. Matthias Ginter was signed on a free transfer which was still a good job for them. Currently they are the second least conceding team in the league after Bayern Munich. Maybe Bayern Munich scored double the number of Freiburg scored but the gap between them is still only four points.

This is a good success for Freiburg but let's see how long they can keep this level. They barely missed the chance of finishing the season in top 4 while fighting with Leipzig for that. This time maybe they can finally achieve their goal even more comfortably.

So far only Freiburg is the nearest team to Bayern and 4 difference points actually not impossible to chased and Freiburg indeed performing well this season and i have to says they had good balanced to defense and offense but i think Freiburg have to improved more their performance because while against strong teams such as Leipzig or Bayern they cannot able to gets good results even lose with big scores but i can see some of Freiburg players such as Ritsu Doan has performing well during world cup so this indicated all of Freiburg players are in the good shape and next month they will starting the league against Augsburg i think Freiburg have good opportunities to win the match considering Augsburg performance was very poor this season

Bayern have been preparing Ulreich for many years, perhaps this is his chance to become the team's main goalkeeper. He periodically played for Bayern, but this was not enough to prove himself, now he will have a chance to show all his abilities, if he succeeds, he will become the main goalkeeper, if not, then it’s good that it will be found out now. Neuer hasn't been the most reliable goalkeeper lately, he conceded a lot and Bayern would do well to find someone like Oliver Kahn.

Finding a suitable replacement for Manuel Neuer will not be easy for Bayern Munich. Neuer was a very experienced and talented goalkeeper. He is a first-rate goalkeeper. Bayern Munich management is considering Sven Ukreich as Neuer's replacement. I wouldn't say that Ukreich is a bad goalkeeper. But he is not as talented as Neuer. However, if Ukrech gets enough opportunities, he may be able to prove himself.

Bayern Munich will have a big problem in the goal post. They are so used to Neuer in the goal post, so any other person that stands on the post would be measured with the criteria of Manuel Neuer which will be bad.
The best thing for them to do is to realise that another goalkeeper will not be like Neuer. So they should manage the person till the person grows in experience like Neuer.

Though not have enough experience to be compared to Manuel Neuer, I don't think getting a new goalkeeper is the best option when Sven Ulreich is still in the team.  He did a wonderful job in the DFB pokal 2017-2018 tournament, leading bayern to the final where they were defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt, why then is Bayern Runnin around to get a replacement for Neuer? just for this remaining month left to finish the season, I think this would have been a good time for Sven Ulreich to prove his worth.

If Schalke can overhaul the team even better in the upcoming transfer market then I'm sure Schalke will be able to get out of the relegation zone. But if in the next transfer window Schalke doesn't have much of a makeover in their squad then surely, Schalke will be relegated again.
I personally don't know for sure whether Schalke's financial situation is good or bad, but if I consider the position and condition of Schalke at this moment, I think that the situation and condition of Schalke's management is not good.

Because when their management situation is chaotic, then of course they won't be able to make changes to the team's performance for the better.
So, the only way to make Schalke's position better in the Bundesliga standings is to play players who truly love Schalke, not playing just for money. It's difficult to return to the top or mid-table of the Bundesliga, but at least Schalke can still try not to be relegated again this season.

Freiburg has constantly developed over the last 10 years. They have received many offers and have managed that many good players have not left. Christian Streich has been coach since 2011. He has managed to implement a philosophy at the club that involves everyone.
I am confident that Freiburg will continue to develop better and better in the future and that they will be among the top 5.

what this small club achieves every year is simply fantastic for me. whether it was now with coach Christian Streich or earlier with Volker Finke .
it is an insanity what this club achieves year after year. since 1991 only 4 coaches have been employed there.
so many coaches are used by some bundesliga clubs in one season. and on top of that a good management .
it all fits together well and that is why this success comes every year. i am simply always happy when Freiburg wins. they have earned it.

I like Christian Streich and what he has done and make at Freiburg , the implement philosophy at the Club has got y very big impact to all there.
Specialy the Last 2 years you have seen a huge improvement on the Team and there playing .
I also like how Christian Streich is acting with the Fans and when he makes interviews.

i am simply always happy when Freiburg wins. they have earned it.

Same here , i always cross my fingers when they playing , specialy when they playing in the International Cup.

The key is that they entrust everything to the coach, and the coach also gives good feedback after the full trust they have from the team. In fact, all teams can do the same thing, but what makes the difference is pressure from outside, such as fans or others, which forces them to immediately change coaches if the coach doesn't give what is expected. Patience from management will also be very important, because we cannot see the instant process carried out by a coach.

This season, Freiburg's performance is very good, it is also because of the coach's successful strategy. The best achievement Freiburg has achieved in the last 6 seasons is finishing 6th in the final standings last season. Thus, this season Freiburg has the right to qualify for the Europa League after passing the qualifying round.

So far Freiburg are 4 points adrift of Bayern Munich in the league, meanwhile they have also managed to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League, and are still playing in the last 16 of the DBF Cup. It's really the best performance that the fans can be proud of, so maybe it's true that this season they will do something great, including having the possibility to qualify for the Champions League.

I don't have much information for the players from SC Freiburg. however, so far they have been quite impressive from match to match. in 15 matches in the Bundesliga, they only got 3 defeats and 3 draws. with a score of 30 points, made Freiburg ranked 2nd in the Bundesliga standings. different when compared to last season, which managed to finish in 6th place by scoring 55 points.

next, the second half of the Bundesliga season will start again soon. what is certain is not an easy job for the coach "Christian Streich", to maintain their ranking. the reason is, currently RB Leipzig is below Frieburg's ranking by only 2 points.
IMO, from a strength perspective, Leipzig has more potential to shift Freiburg's ranking. after all, Frankfurt, Union Berlin and Dortmund will struggle to finish in the top four of the Bundesliga until the end of this season. I guess, after the second half of the season rolls back. most likely, Freiburg will find it difficult to maintain its ranking. and the one closest to shifting Freiburg's ranking is RB Leipzig.

I don't know more with SC Freiburg but success made great achievement after leading second position standing with 4 points behind Bayern Munich from 15 matches. Honestly, SC Freiburg have advantage without participating in European competition from Champion League until Europe League make them 100% focus on Bundesliga only.

Different with their rival from Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Frankfurt have focus in Champion League round 16, I think SC Freiburg have one weakness from goals statistic until 15 matches have score 25 goals and seems little goal scoring than Leipzig in 3rd standing position have scored 30 goals.

[judas]

Leipzig also have done a pretty nice job so far. They have been able to keep the Bundesliga and Champions League both in a balanced way. They are seen at the third position in the Bundesliga standings now. They are the third most scoring team at the same time. They have had problems with defense a little but they can strengthen this line by increasing their concentration level in their league matches as well. Because they might have had some problems during trying to advance to last 16 stage in the Champions League as well.

Most likely they will be eliminated by Manchester City there but this is still a good progress for them. Because they have made a really good amount of money from there so far. After that I expect them to be even more determined in the Bundesliga.

The Bayern Munich squad looks promising for the Round of 16. The Bayern Munich team has performed well ahead of the World Cup. However, one of their team's goalkeepers, Manuel Nevar, is injured. The team will be in trouble for that.

Philosophy is of course a very important thing in a team because having a philosophy will make the players mentally more confident and motivated when competing, in my opinion Christian Streich is a great coach because he is able to apply this to the Freiburg squad.
Even though Freiburg is a small team and don't have a lot of funds to buy star players, they are extraordinary because they always work hard throughout the season, and are now in second place in the standings, 4 points away from Bayern Munich who are still firmly at the top.

Though not have enough experience to be compared to Manuel Neuer, I don't think getting a new goalkeeper is the best option when Sven Ulreich is still in the team.  He did a wonderful job in the DFB pokal 2017-2018 tournament, leading bayern to the final where they were defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt, why then is Bayern Runnin around to get a replacement for Neuer? just for this remaining month left to finish the season, I think this would have been a good time for Sven Ulreich to prove his worth.

I don't know how well he can replace Neuer now, but an added bonus in his favor is that he is fully integrated into Bayern and he won't need an adjustment period. For example, he is well aware that due to the fact that Neuer plays well with his feet, he will have to be someone like the last defender or the first passer at some points. For other goalkeepers, this change in style can be a problem.
