Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[tygeade]

Cancelo is a great player, there is absolutely no doubt about that and from football manager to fifa to any other football game, you will see that he is always ranked as high as possible. Which comes to show that, there was something outside of football regarding this decision.

Maybe a problem with manager himself, maybe a problem with teammates, maybe a trouble on personal life that impacted his psychology and behaviour, whatever it was, it wasn't regarding how he played football. He has  been a great football player, and if City kept him, it was certain that he would be good enough to play there, there is no doubt about that. Hence, it is 100% something off the field.

German bundesliga has been interesting so far seeing Bayern munchen returning to their winning ways is one of the exciting moment for their fans, after the international break and the return of the league football  Bayern disappointed both their fans and spectators whose calculation was channelled to seeing Bayern winning matches but that mindset was dashed, the German Major league champions has to work on their defense and mildfield in other to stop their continues conceiving of goals in every match, clean sheet has to be worked on.

This is something that Bayern had always problems with,even when they were dominating the Bundesliga some couple of years ago they conceded a lot of goals,it is just the dynamics of such league that teams prefer to play an open football and very few are the teams who like defending,in fact only Union Berlin is one of such teams and they have come from the second Bundesliga,so despite being here in the top Bundesliga their mentality has not changed much.

What Bayern should work on is not not make really bad appearances in front of their fans like when they barely managed to draw against Koln and start to stop losing points in front of their home fans.

Leipzig - Union Berlin is a game that is not easy to predict the result of. Leipzig might seem like the favourite side for the win but it isn't that simple to me.

Because I believe bookmakers are underestimating Union Berlin too much. Union Berlin's odd for the win is too high now. I might even think of giving them a chance. Because they are technically in a better condition than Leipzig at the moment. I expect both teams to play an effective attacking game though. But it is risky to add Leipzig win to a parlay in my opinion. The other option might be both teams to score.

No doubt this is going to be the toughest game with prediction is not easy for who is going to win but with current level of performance and quality both are equal which is good, but Leipzig is surely going to have home advantage which is mostly working good for them, and they can do better with most chances they can win from here which could be good for them but in case of draw then surely Borussia Dortmund is going to have advantage as they could be jumped from third to second which is more interesting.

Leipzig is having better attack and their defense is also giving them good support in last few matches, but Union Berlin is still needing some more strength as they are relatively had issues in their attack.

sincerely looking at the result of that game between dortmund and agsburg we can see that dortmund is not doing well, agsburg is a team that is in position 15 that in the last games only had defeats, but the same agsburg managed to score 3 goals against dortmund, I don't know how that would be a reason for fans to be satisfied or happy with this result when dortmund were playing against easy opponents, dortmund were supposed to be able to win comfortably, but they suffered in this game

now let's imagine what it will be like when dortmund face other top teams? it will be a sure defeat, I will not particularly bet on dortmund because their poor defense is a very serious problem, I don't see dortmund managing to stay in second place this season but at least they can make it to the champions league and they will gain exposure to sell their players

What happens is that Dormtund's business model is quite good, the mere fact of selling some players who are very good, that makes them a lot of money, I don't blame them, everyone has their own way of making money and if they discovered that They can do it and be good in their leagues, because they will continue to do it, although I don't deny it, I want Dortmund to return to that level that they had when Lewadowski was playing for them, where they were a surprise team and that they had that level to do the goals in a great way, it was a team that was totally focused on the attack, that any attack from the opposing team the defense responded with tremendous counterattack, I think that this will also depend on the game mode directed by the technical director.

I want to see Union Berlin win. Because they have been really a wild card this season. They started really well and then in the middle they fell apart and now they are again performing really well. I want to see what they can achieve this season. So I want them to win and I also want them to give Bayern Munich a very good competition as well.

But just because I want them to win does not mean that they are going to win. I think there is a very good chance of this match being a draw. Because both teams are quite good even though I think Union Berlin is currently playing better.

Its possible that Union Berlin maybe will win against Leipzig and that would be for sure a nice catch up to Bayern Munich on the table.
As i guess Bayern Munich will at home against Bochum normaly , but Leipzig is at home and its hard to win there with there fans.
My prediction for Leipzig vs Union Berlin is 2 : 1 win for Leipzig and 3 : 0 win for Bayern Munich vs Bochum.

Union Berlin is playing nice football. Even when you are looking at their playing style you may think they are doing no much but when you look at their achievements and their position on the table you will understand that they have been doing well and near consistent since season started.

nobody could have predicted them to be where they are right now before the start of the season, they really are doing a great job especially being underdogs, the thing is that I think it might slip out of their hands by the end of the season, their main players could get tired and exhausted and it might affect them in the long run.

I cannot deny that Union Berlin is at a very spectacular level of football, I would really like to see it first, I know that we all have as a first option that the winner of the bundesliga will be Bayern, also it must be taken into consideration that By the time Bayern goes to the UCL with their commitment against PSG it will be something on another level and that makes that team grow, much more if they beat PSG, which I wouldn't consider a winner anymore. Bayern or Union Berlin, because surprises in football are very different things, I don't know, as I have been saying in my posts, since Qatar I understood that any result is possible in football and applies to any sport.

Bayern president insists club won't follow Man Utd's Ronaldo stance by terminating Neuer's contract after bombshell interviews

Bayern Munich's president has insisted they will not terminate Manuel Neuer's contract despite him speaking against the club in external interviews.

    Neuer criticises Bayern in bombshell interviews
    Situation compared to CR7's at Man Utd
    But president claims there will be no termination

WHAT HAPPENED? Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern Munich, has spoken out on Neuer's decision to give interviews where he criticised the club and played down the idea that the goalkeeper could depart as a result of his actions.

Even if people may claim that Neuer's interview is similar to that of Ronaldo, there are still glaring differences between Ronaldo's case and Neuer's case.
Manuel Neuer has been committed to the club for a very long time and he is not developing any interest of going to another club yet. This cannot be said of Ronaldo whose agent was moving up and down while  Ronaldo himself didn't join the preseason trainings. It would be bad if the management of Bayern Munich dismiss him from injury

The come of cancelo has been changing everything in bayern. Cancelo was also contributing a lot by giving accurate pass. Cancelo is also very lucky caused by his old team manchester city was facing serious problem with premier league. The performance of bayern has been falling down so hard after world cup. Nagelsmann has been betting by loaning cancelo from city as a solution to fix the problem in the defenders of bayern. Cancelo is a significant player for sure.
It's less than two weeks after he was coming to the bayern but he just likes already played for years in bayern. Im so glad bayern is going back to the right track agian.

Its possible that Union Berlin maybe will win against Leipzig and that would be for sure a nice catch up to Bayern Munich on the table.
As i guess Bayern Munich will at home against Bochum normaly , but Leipzig is at home and its hard to win there with there fans.
My prediction for Leipzig vs Union Berlin is 2 : 1 win for Leipzig and 3 : 0 win for Bayern Munich vs Bochum.

In the next game Bayern Munich has a good chance in this match, Bayer Munchen has a very easy opponent to keep holding the top standings in this league, this Bayer Munchen vs Bonchun match is very easy for Bayer, prediction Bayer Munchen will win the match, H2H between the two teams Currently Bayern Munich always leads the match even though there is one match that failed.

In the match between Lepzig and Union Berlin to determine who will shorten the distance with Bayer Munchen, when Lepzig and Bayern Munich win the point difference will remain the same, Munich will still be 4 points ahead.

[rendravolt]

Indeed, Pep Guardiola often has controversial decisions regarding his players and it seems that Joao Cancelo has proven that Pep Guardiola has judged him wrong. I think Joao Cancelo will be very comfortable at Bayern Munich, he doesn't seem to have a burden on his mind and can play freely with his colleagues at Bayern Munich.

He will be an important player for bayern munich this season, they needed a signing like that, Joao cancelo can also play in attack on the right wing because he has a lot of skill in him, but i feel he would go back to manchester city after his loan agreement expires, the money to sign him will be too much for bayern to pay. But if they can win the champions league and bundesliga because of his impact in the team, then the bayern owners will be satisfied with the loan. The bundesliga is very tough this season, Union Berlin, Dortmund, Leipzig are very close to bayern and they aren't making it comfortable for them like it usually is.

That's right, sadly Joao Cancelo will be returning to Manchester City after his loan spell is over and surely Bayern Munich will miss him. But will the relationship between Pep Guardiola and Joao Cancelo improve after returning to Man City? If after that there are still differences of opinion, I think Bayern Munich will be happy to hear the news and for sure they will immediately carry out negotiations in the transfer market next season.

The competition between the Bundesliga teams has been very competitive lately and it is certain that Bayern Munich will not be able to sleep well because these teams are able to catch up with Bayern Munich's points.

Leipzig is having better attack and their defense is also giving them good support in last few matches, but Union Berlin is still needing some more strength as they are relatively had issues in their attack.

At the first meeting of the season, Union Berlin won the battle with a score of 2-1 over Leipzig. Urs Fischer's squad returned to perform with very satisfying results in the second half of the season, after Berlin won 5 of its matches in all competitions. Berlin, as if more prepared to face game after game. but Union Berlin has another tough game ahead, which will meet Ajax the following week in the Europa League playoff round. at least, this situation will make Berlin share its focus on other competitions.

Meanwhile, Leipzig has also been quite impressive in the second half of this season. moreover, Leipzig was able to hold a draw when playing against Bayern Munich. IMO, I'm sure Leipzig will be able to beat Berlin in the match later. the reason is, apart from playing at home to their own headquarters. Marco Rose's squad, will target full points to increase their ranking in the Bundesliga standings before Leipzig play the round of 16 match in the Champions League against City.

Bayern are always favorites. Most of the games they play in the Bundesliga is a easy game for them. They are levels above most of the competition and if it was not for Dortmund a few years ago they would be winning the league every time like PSG does in the French league. 4 pts ahead but look at their fixtures they play some of the easier opponents of the Bundesliga and should start pulling ahead from the others who have more difficult fixtures in comparison

[Swordsoffreedom]

João Cancelo is a very talented player. And he is only 28 years old. And his fitness is quite good. His performances with Manchester City in the last few seasons have been quite good. We still don't know why Guardiola was not interested in keeping João Cancelo in the team. Manchester City management in China to keep João Cancelo in the squad probably because of not having a good relationship with the coach.

Perhaps João Cancelo has adapted well to Bayern Munich's match strategy. He has two assists in two matches. However, the opponent was not very strong. However, Bayern Munich's defense has been bolstered by the addition of João Cancelo to the squad.

[YuginKadoya]

I saw Joao Cancelo's performance. He performed well with Bayern Munich. I also had the opportunity to enjoy several of his matches in the past. Joao Cancelo is an excellent defender. Even so, I don't understand why Guardiola wouldn't be interested in keeping such a player on the team. Guardiola is an experienced coach. He could have used Joao Cancelo better.

Joao Cancelo has been able to assist in both matches played in Bayern Munich's jersey. He has proved his mettle. Now if he can maintain his fitness then he can help to strengthen the Bayern Munich team. Bayern Munich scored 8 goals in these two matches. And conceded only two goals. Bayern Munich is back in form.

Well, João Cancelo was just loaned to Bayern Munich which means he is not a permanent player for Bayern Munich and may return to Manchester City again I think Pep Guardiola was hesitant in really giving away João Cancelo but in terms of lending him to Bayern Munich I guess he still has possession on João Cancelo next season, right now I think Pep Guardiola right now is fed up at Manchester City and players on their training and this is because Manchester City's alleged financial breaches broke and it was not a good sign,

I agree with your prediction. They are both highly motivated teams that like to score. Teams in the Bundesliga generally like to score goals, so both teams to score is a pretty good and safe bet.
I think that game will not end in a draw. For unknown reasons I believe there would be a winner, so if you want to take a little risk you can also go with a 'home or away" bet. I don't know how the odds are exactly cause I haven't checked but I know it won't be much.
Games like this are very tricky, I means games between top table teams. If I am to pick a winner I'll bet on Leipzig. Yea, Union Berlin are In a better position but I think Leipzig would get the better of them in that fixture.  A

For me, I will surely go with Leipzig, but if Union Berlin wins against Leipzig, I will admit that Union Berlin is a different team than they used to be and surely they are an improved team, and their winning on the start of the season was not a fluke, but if Leipzig win this game, I will still say that Union Berlin was just pretty much lucky winning on the beginning of the season, and getting to that 1st position was just a coincidence for them,

[Altryist]

In the match between Lepzig and Union Berlin to determine who will shorten the distance with Bayer Munchen, when Lepzig and Bayern Munich win the point difference will remain the same, Munich will still be 4 points ahead.

Bochum is a good opponent for Bayern, it looks like Bayern are gradually starting to come back into the game, improving their performance and the match against Bochum will be an easy game for them. And Leipzig will most likely be able to take away points from Union Berlin, I even think that Leipzig will be able to win and thus Bayern will again increase its advantage.

[hahay]

And Leipzig will most likely be able to take away points from Union Berlin, I even think that Leipzig will be able to win and thus Bayern will again increase its advantage.

Bochum is a mediocre team that cannot be compared to Bayern Munich, and even though Bochum can beat Bayern Munich, I'm sure this won't happen again. What's more, Bayern Munich's position at this moment is indeed required to win, so playing against Bochum is a big chance for Bayern Munich to be able to win and even with a big score.

Also, regarding the match between Leipzig v Union Berlin, I think it is not certain which team will win this match because they have good quality at this moment. But because Leipzig is playing at home, Leipzig should be able to take advantage of playing at home to win.

[AakZaki]

This is something that Bayern had always problems with,even when they were dominating the Bundesliga some couple of years ago they conceded a lot of goals,it is just the dynamics of such league that teams prefer to play an open football and very few are the teams who like defending,in fact only Union Berlin is one of such teams and they have come from the second Bundesliga,so despite being here in the top Bundesliga their mentality has not changed much.

What Bayern should work on is not not make really bad appearances in front of their fans like when they barely managed to draw against Koln and start to stop losing points in front of their home fans.

Indeed, several times they only drew and lost points. But I think after the DFB cup it started to improve. They managed to win 0-4 against Mainz 05. Next up in the League they won against Wolfsburg 2–4. Away win,I think this result is a good development. Next they will fight Bochum. They should have continued the positive trend of victory. Defeat will make you suffer even more. Because they are only 1 point away from the current Union Berlin. Maybe they'll drop the rankings if they lose or draw thursday.

[emrecemsan]

Leipzig are lacking one of their most important players now, Nkunku. He is the most scorer for the team with 12 goals now and he is the second in top scorers as well. Of course Leipzig still have effective attackers but we will see what they will do this time. Union Berlin is a really serious challenge for them indeed. Having a home match can be seen as an advantage for Leipzig but they won't be comfortable in this match. Union Berlin beat them here by 2-1 last season so Leipzig should take this match very seriously.

Bayern Munich had better take advantage of the opportunity to open the gap with at least one of those teams meanwhile.

I don't think that Leipzig is the team that Bayern should worry more.Leipzig is a good team yeah that likes to play open football and likes to score goals but they lack consistency even when they have this top player,Nkunku.In fact Bayern should worry much more because of Dortmund recovery which lately is playing good football while just some weeks ago no one considered Dortmund to come and threat the Bayern supremacy at the top.They have the experience needed to fight against Bayern as they have beaten Bayern in the past,Leipzig lacks this experience and for Union Berlin I don't even consider them as a threat to Bayern title despite them being just one point in difference.

[bitgolden]

Next time there is going to be a match between Leipzig and Union Berlin. Leipzig have the advantage of playing a home match first of all. This is an advantage for Leipzig really because they are currently the best home team in the league. They have 7 wins and 2 draws in 9 home matches. They are great about scoring and defending in those matches as well - 22 goals scored, 7 conceded. Union Berlin have a really tough job to do against them as a result.

But there is still an obvious fact that Union Berlin are in a better situation in the league now. They are three points ahead of Leipzig and they won their last four matches as well. Leipzig normally have a great home record against Union Berlin but it was until the previous season. Union Berlin were the winner back then. Hence I would rather bet on both teams to score instead of trusting any side to win.

I agree with your prediction. They are both highly motivated teams that like to score. Teams in the Bundesliga generally like to score goals, so both teams to score is a pretty good and safe bet.
I think that game will not end in a draw. For unknown reasons I believe there would be a winner, so if you want to take a little risk you can also go with a 'home or away" bet. I don't know how the odds are exactly cause I haven't checked but I know it won't be much.

I think it's quite obvious that teams in Bundesliga care about offense more than they care about defense, that's the main reason. Both teams to score in almost any game is a given, you will have like 50% chance to hit that and the odds will be better than 2.0 if I am not guessing wrong.

However, Leipzig is just too good not to bet for me, I am going to bet them winning this one, maybe I am wrong and maybe it won't happen that way but I feel like there is a good chance it may turn out to be like that. We still have a few days, but I will do a proper parlay and unless someone is injured or there is a roster change or something, I am going to put Leipzig to win moneyline bet in there.

[ginsan]

it is very clear that dortmund has shown a pretty good improvement in the last 5 matches. Dortmund is ranked 3rd in the standings while 3 points adrift of bayern munich who is the leader of the standings. So, if Dortmund movements continue to improve in the upcoming matches, they can certainly make the competitive situation in the Bundesliga even more interesting. The top 4 ranked teams in the points they collect are not much different so every week there is always a change in the rankings in the standings table because if one of them cannot maintain their consistency in the matches they play.

Bayern munich has returned to winning ways after previously they had difficulty winning in the previous 3.  with the addition of these 3 points it is quite meaningful for bayern munich to stay away from the team below their rank.

[KTChampions]

I just checked the bookmaker quotes for the game Bayern - Bochum:

1.12 - 10.00 - 17.50

Everything is fair - Bayern is a clear favorite. But the "correct score" option made me laugh - from the point of view of the bookmakers, the most likely outcome of the game is a 4-0 victory for Bayern  And although the odds of this outcome are 9 (which is only 11 percent of the probability), it is still more likely than any other outcome.
