Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[klidex]

Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.

This is not the first match in which Dortmund has acted in this way against a strong opponent, they did something similar in the match against Newcastle. For Dortmund, an away draw is a completely acceptable result, but for Bayer it is a loss of very important points, now Bayern will almost certainly be able to take advantage of these and get ahead of them, although if they win they will be equal on points, but Bayern will have a better goal difference.

At least it was a good result for Dortmund because they didn't experience defeat. Bayer Leverkusen is not an easy opponent at the moment because Xabi Alonso has prepared a mature strategy to face Dortmund especially since Leverkusen is playing at home. Of course, Dortmund is experiencing pressure from Leverkusen fans watching the match. and Dortmund managed to maintain a tight defense so that Leverkusen did not score the winning goal.

And the draw result is a good opportunity for Bayern Munich to occupy first place, especially since Bayern Munich still has 1 match postponed with Union Berlin. Bayern Munich will definitely win it and for the time being we will wait for the results of Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend. Bayern Munich will definitely win it even though they will have the same points as Bayer Leverkusen but Bayern Munich is superior in goal productivity.

Today is yet another day for Leverkusen to most likely keep their record of unbeaten, the match has ended in a draw and Leverkusen was able to still maintain their record of staying unbeaten since this season, I see them as the better side in this match as they did played well enough.

Leverkusen has been able to maintain their position on the table staying at the top with 35 pints as against 32 points that Bayern Munich currently have, they are three points ahead of Munich but if they had won against Dortmund, they would have been ahead by five points and will be having 37points, but subsequently Leverkusen will have to get some more wins to be able to further stau ahead of Munich by a good margin which cannot be surpassed soon.

The draw wasn't enough of they're to win the Bundesliga League Competition. Big games like this you try to show strength and grab all the important points. It's not a bad results though, they should make sure they win against all smaller clubs. Borrussia Dortmund did better in this game though. I ain't seeing nobody given them credits for this game they should have won but Bayern Leverkusen fought hard to salvage a point. Bayern Munich should have gone on top if they had played that game against Koln on Saturday.

Bayern Leverkusen though be having busy next five fixtures. They have to do all they can to make sure they remain consistent. The transfer window also coming up, they should try hard to be active.

Bayern Leverkusen was unbeaten so far in the Bundesliga and it seemed they were not going to lose, Bayern Leverkusen was about to lose the bad they had against Dortmund and because of the early goal Dortmund scored in this match and it seemed Bayern Leverkusen was about to lose this record but in the last minutes of the games they got a draw to don't lose the full three points of this match.

Okay, @Weawant the result of that match was pretty surprising for me. I definitely did not think that Leverkusen was going to have a draw against Dortmund. This was quite unexpected. And now it is going to be easy for Bayern Munich to win the next match and become the first placed team on the table. It is also going to be very hard for Leverkusen to get back to the first position of the table if that happens. I think all of us were just praising Leverkusen a little too much. That's why this is happening. But still, it is very early to say anything. Let's see what happens in the next match with Bayern Munich.

Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.

IMO, it shouldn't be as specific as you say. Even though based on statistics and data, Leverkusen is much better than Dortmund. The problem is, Dortmund's position is not in a stable condition. in fact, Fullkrug had several chances besides one assist in the match. The conditions experienced by Edin Terzic's squad are not in a pleasant position. some of the pure stickers they have are not able to perform well in every match.

Before the match against Leverkusen, Dortmund exhausted their energy to overthrow Milan. It would be very natural if Edin Terzic's squad played two tough matches at the same time in the near future. This affects their performance. but it cannot be denied, the fact is that Dormund took the lead in the first half. If only, Edin Terzic's squad could survive until the final whistle sounded. meaning, Leverkusen fell at the BayArena, their own headquarters. Luckily for Xabi Alonso's squad, in the 79th minute Okoh Boniface was able to equalize and avoid defeat. and as a result both teams must be willing to share points, and the one who benefits most from the results of this match is Bayern Munich.

[QueenVera]

At least it was a good result for Dortmund because they didn't experience defeat. Bayer Leverkusen is not an easy opponent at the moment because Xabi Alonso has prepared a mature strategy to face Dortmund especially since Leverkusen is playing at home. Of course, Dortmund is experiencing pressure from Leverkusen fans watching the match. and Dortmund managed to maintain a tight defense so that Leverkusen did not score the winning goal.

And the draw result is a good opportunity for Bayern Munich to occupy first place, especially since Bayern Munich still has 1 match postponed with Union Berlin. Bayern Munich will definitely win it and for the time being we will wait for the results of Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend. Bayern Munich will definitely win it even though they will have the same points as Bayer Leverkusen but Bayern Munich is superior in goal productivity.

Leverkusen and Dortmund game ended fairly with just a single goal from each of the sides. The points were equally shared and the both sides were able to keep up with the range of their performance. No one would have allowed the other to win without a fight. They both are good in their own way and they know how to make the game tough for each other. Leverkusen has been scoring from 2goals and above in every of their encounter and Dortmund has also been winning but they ensured that the past outcomes weren't repeated in their game.
Munich on the other hand still stand a chance to meet up and come up on the table.

 They've got a pending match, which is likely to give them the win they'd need to meet up with Leverkusen. Although the weekend game against Frankfurt seems hopeful too, so in all areas the chance of them being at the top again is high but majority wants a change of hands this season. The season has some more weeks left and anything can happen within the time frame.

If we talk about the theoretical situation, Bayer still have an advantage - firstly, for Bayern to catch up with them, they still have to win the game in hand. Secondly, even if Bayern wins, the teams will have an equal number of points, but the remaining head-to-head game will be on Bayer's field where they can tip the scales in their favor. But these are theoretical considerations, it is clear that Bayern actually remains a very big favorite.

Bayern Leverkusen was unbeaten so far in the Bundesliga and it seemed they were not going to lose, Bayern Leverkusen was about to lose the bad they had against Dortmund and because of the early goal Dortmund scored in this match and it seemed Bayern Leverkusen was about to lose this record but in the last minutes of the games they got a draw to don't lose the full three points of this match.

Okay, @Weawant the result of that match was pretty surprising for me. I definitely did not think that Leverkusen was going to have a draw against Dortmund. This was quite unexpected. And now it is going to be easy for Bayern Munich to win the next match and become the first placed team on the table.

That's why this is happening. But still, it is very early to say anything. Let's see what happens in the next match with Bayern Munich.

We are the same, to be honest I also have a lot of concerns about this match because in the early minutes of the first half Dortmund managed to form an advantage by scoring the opening goal of the match, it was the first threat from Dortmund for Leverkusen, I don't know what the problem is that makes Leverkusen difficult to catch up, even to be able to equalize Leverkusen had to take a long time which in the end midway through the second half they were able to equalize 1-1.

This is completely unexpected, I was very optimistic from the start that somehow Xabi Alonso would definitely be able to win three points in this match, honestly I don't feel my expectations are too high but it seems like there are a few mistakes made by Leverkusen there maybe, and also on the other hand if we look at the statistical results of this match Leverkusen is far superior to Dortmund in terms of ball possession and opportunities on the front lines, meaning that Dortmund really has a very strong defense so that in 23 shots Leverkusen only managed to get one goal. Of course this is a favorable condition  for Bayern Munich, however Tuchel will definitely  maximize the next match to get the full three points and shift Leverkusen's position, I think the Bundesliga this season is very interesting.

I wish Leverkusen would have won the game as this draw is kind of annoying for both of them. Dortmund couldn't get any closer to the top and to Bayern and Leverkusen couldn't turn their dominant game into important three points. No need to discuss that a win would have been preferable for obvious reasons, but it is true that Leverkusen has the game against Bayern on their home ground. To tie a game against Dortmund is ok and Bayern will have some weaker games, too. But we can already see what's needed to stay level with Bayern. Wins, wins, wins.

-snip-

I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will win their postponed match against Union Berlin so that they will take over the position of leader of the standings, but the postponed match has not been rescheduled when it will be held, so Bayer Leverkusen will still be in first position, but there is a second opportunity for Bayern Munich to shift Bayer's position because their competitors will again face a quite difficult match next week against Stuttgart.
Bayer Leverkusen in the match against Stuttgart may not yet experience defeat but if the result is a draw it will again give an advantage to Bayern Munich, so Xabi Alonso has to be aware of this and sometimes it is a sign of decline because his team cannot recover quickly to widen their point lead again with Bayern Munich.

I'm also sure Bayern Munich can win, because Union Berlin probably won't be able to stop Bayern Munich from getting the three points, Union Berlin performance is also not very good this season.
Yes, second opportunity for Bayern Munich this week, when Leverkusen plays against Stuttgart. In that match, Stuttgart will also be playing at home, they are quite great there. If I'm not mistake they also only lost one at home so far, when against Hoffenheim. In the next match, I hope that Xabi can improve his tactics, so that the same result (draw) doesn't happen again in that match, maybe making the first score will be more comfortable for them.

Of course this is a favorable condition  for Bayern Munich, however Tuchel will definitely  maximize the next match to get the full three points and shift Leverkusen's position, I think the Bundesliga this season is very interesting.

Well despite the fact that Dortmund scored an early opener, due to an error in Leverkusen's defense line, I knew they were not going to win, cause Leverkusen were more brilliant in the game, they controlled it very well, and was very dominant on the pitch, and also when it comes to chances created Dortmund cannot be compared to Leverkusen and also thanks to Boniface for rescuing his team.

 Bayer Leverkusen would go far in this tournament they're really doing a great job by maintaining consistency as well as the 1st position for a while their next Bundesliga match is against Stuttgart and they need to be very careful and try not to drop more points to boost their chances widening the gap between them and Bayern.

It's true Leverkusen getting a win in they game would have posed more advantage to them way beyond what it actually is at the moment, the difference In point to which they will be at the top of the table would have been such that losing a single match will still have them some points ahead of Bayern Munich regardless.

The era of Bayern Munichs dominance would have definitely be threatened much more than it is now because it will mean Bayern will have to work their self up well enough to catch up with Leverkusen and probably get ahead of them. It's no news that the anticipation of the end to bayern Munich dominance is what most persons are looking forward to and they are all trusting Leverkusen to be the pioneer of their great change lol. I hope Leverkusen doesn't get an loss or draw again so they can maintain their wins consistently continually stay at the top of the table probably till the season ends.

In essence, Bayern Munich in the last week or in week 13 got their match postponed due to snow and at the same time, Bayer Leverkusen failed to get three points because Dortmund managed to hold a draw. Thus, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich now only have a gap of 3 points but ya, Bayern Munich has a postponed match, so of course Bayern Munich will still have a chance to be able to take over the top position of the Bundesliga standings over time. Because of course, Bayern Munich has a good winning mentality so yes, it is not surprising that so far Bayern Munich has still managed to pressure Bayer Leverkusen.

Dortmund did a good job in the defensive and in the end it needs a bit of luck not to lose this game. Leverkusen has not give up after Dortmunds goal, they kept trying to score. But in the end they only managed to score one goal. But they have to live with that and continue to look after themselves. They have to think from game to game.

[CryptoBuds]

Damn i am surprised from teams Dortmund and also from Leverkusen in the end with kaming the final goal for the draw.
Sad to see that Dortmund is leading the whole game and in the end they just got 1 point out of it.
But i really thought that Leverkusen will win that match at home , i havnt seen the game but i will watch the review for sure.

Before the game, I wrote that I didn’t believe that Bayer’s winning streak would be that long, and that Dortmund would lose three games in a row, and that’s what happened, the forecast came true. Unfortunately, I predicted a victory for Dortmund, but the draw interrupted both of these series and most likely turned out only in favor of Bayern. But the whole fight is still ahead - in order for Bayern to equal Bayer, they need to win their game in reserve.

^^ I think it is actually more sad to see Bayer Leverkusen lose the match. And I am actually happy that they were able to get at least one point from this one. I definitely wanted them to win. Because they are literally the only team which can even get close to giving any competition to Bayern Munich. But now it seems like Bayern Munich is going to take the first position in the table. I did not want Dortmund to win the match. Because they are not going to be able to give any competition for that Bundesliga title anyway. You know Leverkusen at least had a chance.

[Blitzboy]

The way Leverkusen are playing is really impressive. Today against Dortmund their performance was again really good. There was a dominant game by Leverkusen but they weren't on their good day on one hand. Because despite trying really hard they still couldn't score more than one goal. Even that equalizer came quite late in the game.

I mean Dortmund could have even won here without showing a decent performance. Because I can't say that they were good at all today. But it is normal to see that because of Leverkusen's great system. Especially in away games your job is much more difficult against them.

I've watch the highlights, both team missed on good scoring chances but they will make up in their last match. Bayer Leverkusen coach, Xabi Alonso time for losing haven't come yet, we will all be surprise when an average team will hand over Bayer Leverkusen first defeats of the season. Borrusia Dortmund was defensive all through the game because it's not an easy run for Dortmund to record a winning against the undefeated Bayer Leverkusen this season. However they still remain unbeaten and paving way for the appropriate paths of securing good winnings.

Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.

I think Borussia Dortmund avoided a major setback against Bayer Leverkusen. Dortmund's draw feels lucky given Leverkusen's domination. Leverkusen played well, especially at home, but came up short. Leverkusen will regret missing a good opportunity to win all three points. However, Dortmund's resilience under siege is impressive. They've shown resilience previously, notably against Newcastle. Dortmund deserves praise for drawing a tough road game. Bayern is probably beaming. This result allows them to climb the ranks, and Bayern wont miss it.

Of course this is a favorable condition  for Bayern Munich, however Tuchel will definitely  maximize the next match to get the full three points and shift Leverkusen's position, I think the Bundesliga this season is very interesting.

For me, even though the Laverkusen versus Dortmund match ended in a draw, Xabi squad is still a title contender. we will see Laverkusen meeting with Bayern Munchen and Dortmund in the second round once again in the future. I thought Laverkusen would be able to win easily over Dortmund yesterday, which is natural because I remember Bayern had beaten them 4-0. however, this assumption is wrong, although not completely, meaning that Xabi and his squad can still avoid defeat.

I think, Tuchel still has one match postponed, meaning it is very likely that he will succeed in bringing his club to level points with Laverkusen. on paper the match against Union Berlin is quite easy for Kane and colleagues, as you said the competition in the Bundesliga this season has become very interesting, I agree with that.

I admit that Laverkusen position will be threatened by Bayern in the future, but I think that is what makes the Bundesliga interesting. Dortmund is considered unstable in disrupting Bayern dominance this season, therefore the hope for this competition to become more interesting lies with Xabi Alonso fleet.

They should just be happy with that 1 point, they didn't have the possession and they also played with the club that has a very good feat at the moment. Bayer Leverkusen is the reigning champion in their league and the 1 point from Dortmund has also reduced the number of points they were supposed to be leading their closest rival which is Bayern on the table. If you look at the last 7 matches of Dortmund, you would realize that they were playing rubbish, so if they kept playing rubbish and could still manage to go home with a goal, it means that they are still lucky. But I will not entirely exonerate Leverkusen, they also missed opportunities, they had too many chances to win easily, but wasted them.

Thanks to the good defence of Dortmund as well, if not, they would have conceded more goals, regardless, Leverkusen needs to work on their firepower. Also, I noticed that Dortmund was more defensive after the first go in the first half, which could have caused them not to launch more attacks as they should have. A defensive game is a costlier game where you become fearful and the opponent will be a terror throughout, which was what happened, and still, Leverkusen scored 1 goal, what's the point?

Do we have to say that this result refers more to luck for the Dortmund camp? yes it is possible, it is very difficult to be able to break the consistency possessed by Leverkusen with their current performance position, statistics have shown that in that match Leverkusen was far superior to Dortmund, especially in terms of shots on target. This result reminds me of some previous matches when Leverkusen were able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw, I consider it natural because the performance of the two teams is currently almost equal, but on the other hand I cannot compare between Bayern Munich and Dortmund because in the past few seasons Bayern Munich has proven to be stronger than them by always being able to secure the trophy at the end of the season.

I honestly don't know what the problem was that Leverkusen were only able to hold a draw, and if they were late in equalizing then obviously it was a very surprising (bad) result for Leverkusen who played at home. In conclusion, in my opinion, it is not only luck that Dortmund has but they also have a very strong defense. On the other hand this is a pretty tough task for Xabi Alonso because after all their position is now getting closer to Bayern Munich in the standings, so there is no reason for Leverkusen not to perform optimally in the next match to secure three points.

I hope Leverkusen doesn't get an loss or draw again so they can maintain their wins consistently continually stay at the top of the table probably till the season ends.

But this sounds too pessimistic saying that it would have been way better. It implies that now it is much worse, which I think is not correct. The situation is still good for Leverkusen and it could be looking much worse if it wasn't for their remarkable performance this season. It's still ok and there are a lot of points to be played for. I doubt that Bayern would lose any points against Union Berlin, but who knows and there are still some other highly interesting encounters coming.

The game ended draw between Leverkusen and Dortmund might be expected result by many people, but it's frustrating for both teams, especially considering the missed opportunity to keep competing at the top. Dortmund's failure to close the gap to bayern, and Liverkusen's missed chance to convert their dominance into three points, adds a big disappointment that could hit their mentality remembering they have to fight against Bayern for the tittle race. They know Bayern wont easily drop points off against other teams.

While Xabi Alonso had a great test to evaluate his team after the draw, there's still a opportunity for his team to secure the lead in the league by having the upcoming game against Bayern on their home ground. Leveling a score line in a game against a strong opponent like Dortmund could be acceptable, and as you point out, Bayern may face some challenging matches as well. This draw should be a reminder for Alonso to realize that the competition's intensity and the high standard requires to stay competitive at the top.

[Docnaster]

This is not the first match in which Dortmund has acted in this way against a strong opponent, they did something similar in the match against Newcastle. For Dortmund, an away draw is a completely acceptable result, but for Bayer it is a loss of very important points, now Bayern will almost certainly be able to take advantage of these and get ahead of them, although if they win they will be equal on points, but Bayern will have a better goal difference.

If we talk about the theoretical situation, Bayer still have an advantage - firstly, for Bayern to catch up with them, they still have to win the game in hand. Secondly, even if Bayern wins, the teams will have an equal number of points, but the remaining head-to-head game will be on Bayer's field where they can tip the scales in their favor.

Bayern Munich has dominated and won the German Bundesliga title for over the last one decade and are also serious contenders to retain the title once again but Bayer Leverkusen has proved to be a worthy rival to end the dominance of the German Bundesliga champions this season even when it seems too difficult. Many football fans across the globe are backing Bayer Leverkusen to go on and end Bayern Munich's dominance because of how boring they've made the German League look like for the past eleven years.

On Saturday, Bayern Munich's game against Union Berlin was postponed as a result of extreme level of snow that fell at Munich and I expected the league leaders Bayer Leverkusen to win the game against Borussia Dortmund yesterday and extend their lead at the top of the league but Dortmund gave their best in the game and were almost rewarded with a win before Leverkusen scored late in the game to share points with their visitors. There's still more to play in the German Bundesliga this season but I'm still optimistic that Bayern Munich will win the league title at the end of the season.
