Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[QueenVera]

To be really honest, I didn't think it either until I went to check the score. This is too much for Bayern Munich to handle; imagine a 5-1 lead. Frankfurt is a small Bundesliga team, and while I understand that games can change, I believe that Bayern Munich didn't want to win. All of their strong players are on the pitch, and none of them can defeat Frankfurt. This is also an indication that Bayern Munich will not win the season title because of the way leverkusen are playing and the fact that they have more points than Bayern Munich. It seems like Bayern Munich has run out of things to do.

Leverkusen hasn't lost to any team yet this season because they always take each game seriously and that's why they maintain winning streaks. The team has a good coach and players communicate well with him. Last season, they were able to qualify for the Europa League, and this season, I believe they will win both the Bundesliga and qualify to the Champion League.

Munich's last Bundesliga game against Frankfurt was a huge indictment on their status, they were believed to be a better side but one way or the other, Frankfurt was able to gain the 3points and also keep the goal margins too. Added to the fact that they were the visitors in the game, Bayern still would have strived to do better and get a tangible result, they really underestimated Frankfurt and they paid for it.

 Their loss however has cost them a reduction in points too and Leverkusen's draw helped them maintain point gaps too. Tuchel's team need to level up as the bait is no longer for the sluggish. Leverkusen has a target and from the beginning of the season till now, they've ensured that they maintain the competitiveness and fight to get the trophy. Although this is just the first half of the season, there's still time for Munich to get back on track and make corrections, their next game would be looked out for to mark either a progress or a decline in their race.

[red4slash]

That's the hope but on the other hand, we must also realise that this is the Bundesliga where the hope of a new champion here will be very difficult.
Indeed, at the moment Leverkusen are still very good and can still maintain their position at the top of the table but don't forget Bayern who can even do everything in the Bundesliga even last season when we were sure Dortmund could take over Bayern's reign that had lasted for the last decade could be overthrown in their last match so it is not impossible this season is also like that.

There is still a long way to go and we are only midway through the season now so anything can still happen including Bayern and Leverkusen's performance in the end.

Many of us are expecting another champion in Bundesliga but it did not happen for many years. Before, we have seen Bayern with a sluggish start but then came back and finished strong. So what is happening at present is not new to Bayern, they know it and they will make vital changes when required.

Bayer Leverkusen has to continue its degree of play. Because its rivals will also find ways to do better. Bayern also has one match behind so there is the opportunity to minimize the lead by a single point.

As much as possible for Leverkusen right now is just to maintain their consistency so that it can continue to run well because after all with the current conditions that is what they need most.
Regardless of how intimidating from Bayern they always do in order to successfully stick tight in the end if Leverkusen still have good consistency then Bayern will be very difficult to overtake them.
But sometimes this kind of consistency won't come for a whole season because there will definitely be obstacles over time and that's where the role of Xabi must be emphasised.

As I said before. Last season even Dortmund were very comfortable at the top but slowly they were eroded by the many interventions from Bayern because in the end Bayern were always the main players in the Bundesliga so to beat such a situation inevitably Leverkusen must be required harder even though we know it's a very big burden.

the 1.fc.köln has to pay a fine of 595,000 euros for firing pyrotechnics . the match had to be interrupted for 8 minutes .
this is the highest fine imposed by the dfb so far. the 1.fc.köln has lodged a protest against this drastic fine  
it looks really nice. but unfortunately it's also dangerous for the fans

That is a huge amount.
But it was clear that the DFB would increase the fines. Because the clubs have not managed to stop such actions so far. Again and again, these so-called fans manage it to smuggle in so much pyrotechnics. I know that there is always a discussion for and against it. But as you have already written, it is dangerous for the fans.

Never realized Germans were so deep into pyro in their football culture. It's not even a new thing to them. And they are talking about legal and illegal fireworks for fans.
In my opinion any playing of fire from the fans should be outright banned. It's absurd to let fans of competing teams allowed in with things that could easily be weaponized. And German fans are already considered one of the largest hooligans in Europe. If allowed to continue, they could bring more severe incidents in the future. A disaster in the making.

Bayern Munich's defeat is actually a normal thing, even in other leagues they also experience defeats like this because a football player is also a human being who feels tired when competing, so maybe I can still understand Bayern Munich's first defeat, but the problem here is not about the defeat but the one who defeated. the club that is ranked 7th should at least be able to draw but the fact that they lost with a score of 5-1 is something embarrassing for a giant club like Bayern Munich and this is what makes the fans feel very sorry to see the defeat with such a big score so it's not because of the defeat but the score. Frankfurt managed to score a big goal.
Yes, the match is still very long, even though this defeat was very embarrassing, this does not mean that Munich will experience the same thing in next match, but in the end, Bayern Munich will return to first place to dominate the Bundesliga.

Bayern would not let the gap get any bigger, they are going to end up beating Stuttgart for sure and there won't be any troubles at all, it should not be shocking and it should be something that would be as profitable as it can get.

I believe that there are situations where it is not going to end up being like Bayern will definitely win every game, but this one isn't one that they would lose, they would win until Leverkusen gets worse. Considering what they had to go through this season, and how hard they had fought, they are not going to let a team like Stuttgart be the reason why they are not in the title race anymore, they will keep staying close and wait for Leverkusen to make a mistake to take the top spot from them eventually.

Even though it is quite normal for Bayern Munich to show their revival this season, there will still be fierce competition this season with Bayer Leverkusen because up to now Leverkusen itself is no less good than Bayern Munich. So this year there will be a more different competition than last season because the real opponent for Bayern Munich is Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen has to continue its degree of play. Because its rivals will also find ways to do better. Bayern also has one match behind so there is the opportunity to minimize the lead by a single point.

Bayer Leverkusen will clearly always carry out quite interesting strategies and more amazing games this season because Leverkusen is very aware that they have more abilities this season so they will continue to provide maximum resistance to all their opponents this season.

It is unfortunate that such fan behavior only has a bad impact on the team, moreover FC Koln is not a team that has a storehouse of money but unfortunately, their fans make the club have to pay such expensive fines. Obviously, this incident is the worst incident for the team, because at this moment also FC Koln is still in the relegation zone and may also have a bad impact on player morale.

I'm just curious, what exactly is the purpose of them doing this, because if there is no clear purpose then of course shooting fireworks before the start of the match will greatly disturb the course of the match. So it's natural that in the end the club was fined, but the fine is very large and of course, the club also objected to doing it, and maybe there will still be a way to appeal to reduce the fine.

[AakZaki]

Dortmund are simply working for the foreign market while they are in the Champions League. for them this will be a more priority tournament. because that's where they can show off their players and find buyers for them. After finishing their run in the Champions League they will completely focus on the Bundesliga, every year they act the same way, it works best for them and they are not going to change anything.

Yes, they don't think with champions. This means that the priority of the champion is not the main target. In addition to the system being supported by fans, I don't see much news about supporters demanding problems with the Dortmund coach and management. Last year they were almost champions but were unlucky in the last game. As long as their business targets are achieved, it seems that they remain calm with the condition of ending in the top 5.

Bayern Munich are regarded as the best club in Germany in past decades. We hope for a change and here it is, happening before our very eyes this season. I would be so glad to watch another club lifts the Bundesliga title this season because Bundesliga have become one of the boring leagues I'm aware of due to Bayern Munich constant domination and constant lifting the league titles. Bayer Leverkusen can proof everyone wrong this season, remember they're unbeaten this season and the incredible performance is all the masterpiece of Xabi Alonso.

[EarnOnVictor]

A draw is a pretty good step for Leverkusen so that it still adds points, even if it's only one point, rather than losing and not giving any points. It's not usual for Dortmund to be in the top five of the standings, because usually they also compete for first place. Meanwhile, Stuttgart is a new team that has entered the top three. This season's matches will be more exciting because there is no guarantee that Bayern Munich can win again this season because it looks like many people are fighting for first place at the top of the standings.

Bayer Leverkusen still stand top, despite facing a whole lot of difficult opponents, Xabi Alonso is cooking something for Leverkusen, can't wait to see them lifting the Bundesliga title. A draw points are for clubs that don't deserved winning and clearly fight for a draw. This was the moment for Borrusia Dortmund to win Bayer Leverkusen this season, they're suppose to be placed the first team to break the unbeaten run of Leverkusen this season. Dortmund messed their chances and allow Leverkusen to draw points with them, because they're in possession of the good qualities and odds of winning.

I'm afraid, your waiting will have to be long and I hope they will eventually disappoint you. Waiting for Bayer Leverkusen to lift the trophy will only discourage many in the end because I don't think they will still be the team that will lift the trophy. They did well so far but I sense that it will be similar to what happened last season between Dortmund and Bayern. Bayer Leverkusen is doing well now, far beyond what I thought they could do this season, and they are impressive to the point of beating Bayern with 4 points and holding the top position on the table. They have not been beaten by any clubs for a while now and might continue to maintain that for a longer period of time with the fixture I see ahead of them provided they do not disappoint.

But, of course, there is room for mistakes too, it will just happen just like Bayern has been doing recently which cost them to give the top spot to Leverkusen. This, I believe might have started with the way their last two local matches ended, they played with VfB Stuttgart and Dortmund with struggles and the matches ended in draws. This, I know might not be an issue to many, but to me, might be the beginning of a dwindling performance, which happens to any club even during their best reigns. This is a wake-up call for them because if they lose in any of their next matches, it could be a catastrophe that could make Bayern move back up closer to them and be a threat to the cup that you believe they can win this season. Besides, May next year is still very far, there are too many surprises possible before then.

Since they missed the championship in the last match last year, everyone expected them to compete for the championship this year, but this year they are far from that performance. They are no longer in the race for the championship, but in the race for the top 4 places. They will probably continue to watch the championship race between Bayern and Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich are regarded as the best club in Germany in past decades. We hope for a change and here it is, happening before our very eyes this season. I would be so glad to watch another club lifts the Bundesliga title this season because Bundesliga have become one of the boring leagues I'm aware of due to Bayern Munich constant domination and constant lifting the league titles. Bayer Leverkusen can proof everyone wrong this season, remember they're unbeaten this season and the incredible performance is all the masterpiece of Xabi Alonso.

I will not deny, let alone refuse, if it turns out there is a team capable of breaking Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga competition in the last decade. Unfortunately, there are still 20 matches remaining that must be played by all the teams competing in this league. not only Leverkusen, but also Stuttgart.
especially Bayern Munich, the most established team among the other teams competing in the Bundesliga. not only does it have a depth of players that is superior to other teams. However, Bayern has a winning mentality in this competition. That's why this team is a Bundesliga giant regardless of the finances they have.
As for Bayern's defeat in the Frankfurt match, I once said that going ups and downs could potentially happen even though the team is a strong team. In fact, Bayern is still a strong team. January transfer season will open soon, it is clear that Bayern will target several players to strengthen their team squad. which means, Bayern can be much stronger to still defend their league title.

Now we are talking from the Leverkusen side, so far Alonso has been able to bring his team to an impressive performance even without defeat. but we can also see that Leverkusen is almost losing. However, they were able to equalize and the match ended in a draw. Leverkusen was held to a draw by Dortmund, and even had difficulty putting up resistance against Stuttgart. In other words, Xabi must work hard to improve his team's potential if they want to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
So far, their steps are on the right track. However, in the second half of the season, the matches that will be faced will get tougher and will be more decisive.
For now, I still see Bayern's probability as greater. but if Leverkusen is able to continue to be consistent, especially until the end of the season approaches. I will give another and worthy assessment for Xabi Alonso's squad. So, for now, let's just enjoy what the Bundesliga has to offer.

[Dewi Aries]

Dortmund are simply working for the foreign market while they are in the Champions League. for them this will be a more priority tournament. because that's where they can show off their players and find buyers for them. After finishing their run in the Champions League they will completely focus on the Bundesliga, every year they act the same way, it works best for them and they are not going to change anything.

They are no longer in the race for the championship, but in the race for the top 4 places. They will probably continue to watch the championship race between Bayern and Leverkusen.

Last season Dortmund were really far from lucky, I don't know if the incident was the result of mistakes they made or indeed they didn't prioritize the title so they didn't play optimally in the title match. But on the other hand however it is really unfortunate because it is only one step away for Dortmund to break the dominance of the title from Bayern Munich, with that incident then obviously I think a lot of disappointment arises especially from the fans, however this season the fans will definitely collect the title that last season failed.

As we see that this season is no longer about Dortmund and Bayern Munich but there are newcomers who are in fact stronger than Dortmund for the current conditions, so now people will focus more on Bayern Munich and Leverkusen because only these two teams look more promising in terms of certainty. Honestly this season I see Dortmund as having trouble balancing their performance with competition in the top five area, the top five is a position that is too vulnerable for Dortmund in addition to their point difference with Hoffenheim which is only 2 points away.

[QueenVera]

As much as possible for Leverkusen right now is just to maintain their consistency so that it can continue to run well because after all with the current conditions that is what they need most.
Regardless of how intimidating from Bayern they always do in order to successfully stick tight in the end if Leverkusen still have good consistency then Bayern will be very difficult to overtake them.
But sometimes this kind of consistency won't come for a whole season because there will definitely be obstacles over time and that's where the role of Xabi must be emphasised.

As I said before. Last season even Dortmund were very comfortable at the top but slowly they were eroded by the many interventions from Bayern because in the end Bayern were always the main players in the Bundesliga so to beat such a situation inevitably Leverkusen must be required harder even though we know it's a very big burden.

Leverkusen have been able to keep up with wins and maintaining their position on the league table even though the trophy isn't certain to rest with them, their consistency at this time works the magic because it is clearly a sign that they're a better side to hold the trophy this season. I personally do not think they'll suddenly and gradually draw back in performance which would cause them to backslide in the table. Alonso would be very mindful not to trade his chances with the team.

 Their main rival Munich currently are flunctuating in performance, after not being able to confidently win their last two group games, it's kept them points away from the first place. We don't know how tough the next league game would be for them but it's very much likely that they'd want to make amends for their last errors, the second half of the season is still there for these teams to do their exploits. Hopefully the winner would be very much certain before the season rounds up.

The consistency is already suffering from little bumps in the road. There were two draws in a row for Leverkusen when Bayern lost one and won one. If Leverkusen wants to stay ahead of Bayern, these draws are deadly to their title dreams. I have said that before and it was the same with Dortmund, you don't get presented with a lot of chances against Bayern, but when you do you have to take them. That's where Leverkusen failed. Not losing is important to teams that fight against relegation, but when you want to win the title against Bayern, a draw may not be enough. I see it coming that this is again a close finish with Bayern being ahead of Leverkusen.

[TelolettOm]

Even though it is quite normal for Bayern Munich to show their revival this season, there will still be fierce competition this season with Bayer Leverkusen because up to now Leverkusen itself is no less good than Bayern Munich. So this year there will be a more different competition than last season because the real opponent for Bayern Munich is Leverkusen.

Yep, this season, Bayern's first competitor is Leverkusen. Moreover, the current distance is 4 points. Even though Bayern still has 1 game left, if Leverkusen can consistently show excellent performance and always win, then Leverkusen can still be in first place. Unfortunately they only drew in the last 2 matches so their points didn't increase much. And on the other hand, Bayern's crushing defeat to Frankfurt in the last match really dealt a heavy blow to Bayern. This was quite embarrassing for them and also wasted the opportunity to take over first position. And next, the competition between Bayern and Leverkusen will be even more interesting.

Dortmund, in the Bundesliga, is not that good. But fortunately in the Champions League, they were still able to show their faces and managed to advance to the next qualification as top standing in the hellish group. even though at first they were doubted because they saw how inconsistent they were. but in the end, they succeeded.

[Velvet78]

Union Berlin might be making progress but it is still early though. They won their last game which was against Gladbach. It was a comfortable win in terms of the final score as well. Next time they are playing an away game against Bochum and I would like to see the same productivity from them continuing. However I wouldn't bet on Union Berlin of course as they aren't reliable at all for now.

Their performance dropped very sharply compared to the previous season but I don't think it will come to their even relegation from the Bundesliga. Every decent team have hard times. The most important thing is to deal with it somehow.

Xabi Alonso the coach of Leverkusen started talking about his team and his situation in this team he started talking about the games they were going to have in the Europa League against Molde before the start of the match. Leverkusen had a perfect performance in the Bundesliga but they couldn't have the same performance in this tournament and when they told him about 9 teams they won their games so far in this tournament but none of them won the trophy yet he said thank you for putting us under more pressure it seems he exactly knows how to manage the conference before the game.

[Doell]

Yep, this season, Bayern's first competitor is Leverkusen. Moreover, the current distance is 4 points. Even though Bayern still has 1 game left, if Leverkusen can consistently show excellent performance and always win, then Leverkusen can still be in first place. Unfortunately they only drew in the last 2 matches so their points didn't increase much. And on the other hand, Bayern's crushing defeat to Frankfurt in the last match really dealt a heavy blow to Bayern. This was quite embarrassing for them and also wasted the opportunity to take over first position. And next, the competition between Bayern and Leverkusen will be even more interesting.

The competition between the both team (Munich - Leverkusen) surely will be more interesting, and also maybe more tighter in the future. Because I think now teams in mid-table are also may could be cause difficulties for top team, previously, Munich was defeated by Frankfurt. This defeat might trigger other teams to get points against the top team.

On next Matchday 15 this week, Leverkusen will play against Eintracht Frankfurt, I hope they don't continue their draw trend. Because they must be get full points to stay away Bayern Munich, but Eintracht Frankfurt also got a breath of fresh air, previously they are can won with a big score against Munich and next match will not be easy for Levekusen.
But considering Levekusen in standings is not too far enough, I mean gap with Bayern Munich, so Leverkusen must still consistent on next match and Xabi must be able to motivate his players to still on fire.

[Leviathan.007]

Union Berlin might be making progress but it is still early though. They won their last game which was against Gladbach. It was a comfortable win in terms of the final score as well. Next time they are playing an away game against Bochum and I would like to see the same productivity from them continuing.

Their performance dropped very sharply compared to the previous season but I don't think it will come to their even relegation from the Bundesliga. Every decent team have hard times. The most important thing is to deal with it somehow.

The best performance I saw from Union Berlin was in the first weeks of the last season when Union Berlin was even on the top side of the Bundesliga and racing for the title with teams like Dortmund and Bayern Munich but we know a team like this could never have the enough potential to race with the top teams and now in this season I think Union Berlin is not in the good situation and Union Berlin is trying to get back in the good form but based on what Isaw from this teams against Real Madrid I can say Union Berlin is far from what they should be.

the 1.fc.köln has to pay a fine of 595,000 euros for firing pyrotechnics . the match had to be interrupted for 8 minutes .
this is the highest fine imposed by the dfb so far. the 1.fc.köln has lodged a protest against this drastic fine  
it looks really nice. but unfortunately it's also dangerous for the fans

That is a huge amount.
But it was clear that the DFB would increase the fines. Because the clubs have not managed to stop such actions so far. Again and again, these so-called fans manage it to smuggle in so much pyrotechnics. I know that there is always a discussion for and against it. But as you have already written, it is dangerous for the fans.

It is unfortunate that such fan behavior only has a bad impact on the team, moreover FC Koln is not a team that has a storehouse of money but unfortunately, their fans make the club have to pay such expensive fines. Obviously, this incident is the worst incident for the team, because at this moment also FC Koln is still in the relegation zone and may also have a bad impact on player morale.

I'm just curious, what exactly is the purpose of them doing this, because if there is no clear purpose then of course shooting fireworks before the start of the match will greatly disturb the course of the match. So it's natural that in the end the club was fined, but the fine is very large and of course, the club also objected to doing it, and maybe there will still be a way to appeal to reduce the fine.

^ That is not a small amount of money for a club like this. And in this economy, it is surely going to hurt themselves. But I will actually say that this is really well deserved. People should understand that just because they have bought a ticket to the game, does not give them the authority to do anything they want in the stadium. And the fans should understand from now on that it is going to be a problem for their own team if they do something like this. But I wonder if it is going to be used with bad motives? Like a fan going to the stadium dressed as the opponent and doing something like this and for that the club getting fined.
