Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Leviathan.007]

I believe that Xabi would be definitely perfect situation, I mean he still has age on his side and that means we are going to end up with him being able to manage that team for as long as possible.

I know that it is not going to end up with anything that crazy, like Xabi being their manager for 20 years, which his age means he technically could but we all know that won't happen, nobody ever managed a team for 20 years in that size teams aside from maybe Alex Ferguson, but I think he could do at least 5-6 seasons easily, that is a good thing for Real, maybe even as high as 10 years which would make him a legend at the club, and if he does bring in some success, like 50%+ la liga titles on his seasons, and a few UCL cups as well, then it would be lovely to keep him.

Real Madrid is a club that's known for their intimidating records of success when it comes to European football and have been able to hire the best managers to take care of the first team of the club over the years but their current manager Carlo Ancelotti who has also won the UEFA champions league with them will be leaving at the end of the season and that has raised concerns over who's experienced or capacitated enough to replace him at Real Madrid.

To many, they believe that Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is the best man that'll replace Ancelotti when he leaves the club next summer. Considering the impressive performance of Xabi Alonso this summer and the fact that he's a former Real Madrid footballer, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Real Madrid from bringing the Spanish manager to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.

There is no doubt about this all but still things are not clear about this all because as we are having Bayer Leverkusen giving their best too much talk about Xabi Alonso and his future at this club is topic of the town but most chances we can't go as things are currently showing with most chances Xabi Alonso is having contract until 2026 with release clause for three clubs but as he is doing things here most chances he will not go quickly because this is also his start, and he needs to be more realistic for having impressive future and also if he is going to have more trophies than surely he needs to stay here which will increase his experience and value as well.

Carlos Ancelotti is also doing impressive job with his contract is going to end after end of this season and most chances he will leave for the Brazil but until now nothing is sure with few rumours are surrounding, he will extend his tenure here and try to stay until 2026 which could be also good for all parties.

Xabi Alonso is definitely a good coach and he can even get offers from other teams than just Real Marid but he is still under contract with Leverkusen and he is doing his job perfectly in this which means this can't be easy for any team to hire this Sapmish coach from Leverkusen before his contract end but I'm sure Xavi Alonso will start working as coach in Real Madrid one day if he tries to have the same performance we see from him right now
However, Carlos Ancelotti is also an experienced coach for Real Madrid I don't think they could have any problems with this coach in Real Madrid to make them replace this coach with Xavi Alonso.

People think Xabi Alonso is the only reason for Leverkusen to get good results and that's totally wrong, Xabi Alonso is definitely a good coach, and he had an effective plan since he started working on this team.
Maybe without Xabi Alonso, they could never get the results they got so far during this season but the fact about Leverkusen is about the teamwork and I think just like Xabi Alonso in this team, other players and coaches had the same share of their success.

I get your point about PSG's domination in Ligue 1. They appear destined to win, which can make the league boring. I think there's more. Monaco and Marseille have shown flashes of brilliance and might push PSG. The issue is consistency. PSG's Champions League campaign may be hampered by their domestic supremacy. They're rarely challenged like Premier League or La Liga squads. Once they encounter true UCL difficulty, they change gears. If PSG wants to conquer Europe, they must improve that

Sometimes, i have questioned myself about why things that make monaco and marseille became very inconsistent like that. Do these teams have their internal problems or what? It's rarely seeing them all to play consistently till the end of season.
PSG was always taking the trophy and this is proving that if PSG is very strong right now. Does money really affect the consistency from the club? When a club like marseille played better for a few matches but the club became very inconsistent till the end of season which is not understandable.

Im always doubting the performance from other clubs when we are entering middle - end of seasons. It's caused by i was very often seeing them all play very inconsistent. It seems like that there are many problems owned by those clubs.
When you have money, it often feels like you have the power to obtain anything you desire, such as dominating the league at any given time and not even encountering a worthy competitor, as if the whole world is within your grasp.

Dortmund appeared not good in the last few matches. They have only been able to win one of the last five matches. I don't know what makes their performance appear quite bad this season. But I think Dortmund must really struggle to improve their ranking. Currently many are talking about Ajax at Eredivise who is able to rise from adversity. I hope Dortmund will also be able to appear quite good to get a place in the Champions League.

I would want to say Dortmund shouldn't be judged by their most recent performance because they have earlier at the beginning of the season performed brilliantly and did looked promising but then since the struggle to finish the group stage of the UCl became priority to them, their performance dropped which I perceive normal.

I believe Dortmund still have got a chance at improvement even if it might not lead them to finishing at the to or even at the second position but then we can be sure that it will definitely help them maintain a good spot at the top five teams by the end of the season and if they are able to make it to the semi finals in the champions league aswell then we can say they haven't done bad for the season so far. I'm very much optimistic about Dortmund regaining their form again with an improved performance before the end of the season.

However, Carlos Ancelotti is also an experienced coach for Real Madrid I don't think they could have any problems with this coach in Real Madrid to make them replace this coach with Xavi Alonso.

the question is, will a team that has just achieved success let go of its coach? meanwhile, Xabi is a coach who has really contributed a lot to Leverkusen after being able to achieve achievements like this for so long.
and I still have confidence that Xabi will still think in the long term before making wise decisions, but he will definitely stay at Leverkusen for next few seasons.

for almost a decade Leverkusen has never experienced success like this and the arrival of this great coach provides a new history for Leverkusen which almost breaks the bundesliga dominance which has been going on for decades and on the one hand after this very good achievement the Leverkusen management is certainly more confident and willing to spend a lot of money to be able to bring in new players and strengthen Leverkusen defense and attack line in the long term and after this Xabi will definitely have the goal of bringing Leverkusen to the UCL.

[Lafu]

For now, Dortmund is in a safe spot and I think by just keeping this kind of position I think they are good as long as they are not in the relegation and they are still in the line where they can compete with the Europa League, even though it is only with the group stage but it is quite good enough,
Darmstadt I think has no chance of getting up as fast as they can and evading Relegation they need to keep on dreaming that they are actually not getting into the 1st division again, but will surely get below the 2nd division

You said it " for now " Dortmund is on a safe spot , and i dont think that it will be that bad that they get into the relegation zone.
But if they want to play next season again in the Champions League they have to improve there playing and win games.
It was mostly disappointing what they have showed the last weeks in the German League and for that Darmstadt can be struggle them maybe.

I'm very much optimistic about Dortmund regaining their form again with an improved performance before the end of the season.

Dortmund remaining 9 points left behind Bayern Munich on 2nd standings position and I doubt get improving performance and finish on second place. In this season, Dortmund losses many points and difficult how to reach with top fourth position standings behind Stuttgart and Leipzig with consistent performance and warning for Dortmund raise to fourth position standing in this season.

Dortmund not win last four matches in a row and bad result for them how to finish on top fourth position in this season, if can't improving their performance actually loss the opportunity get Champion League spot standings next season regarding under teams position remaining few points left such as Frankfurt and Hoffeinhem.

[klidex]

Leverkusen have no star players in their squad. But if we compare Leverkusen's overall squad performance then we have to say that this team is very strong. This team is yet to lose any match in the Bundesliga. They also drew the match 2-2 against Bayern Munich. At the same time, they have shown great dominance in every match of the Europa League. Leverkusen are also unbeaten in the Europa League and have managed to win all their matches. Leverkusen conceded only 3 goals in 6 matches in the Europa League and scored 19 goals. So this group cannot be called weak. Leverkusen are likely to win both the Bundesliga and Europa League titles. If Xabi receives big funds in the winter transfer, he will be able to strengthen the team.

I will disagree with that statement that They d not have stars, I think they do have stars but it is not a star studded team like the Bayern Munich team. The likes of  Xhaka are stars, Florian Writz is also a star already since his breakthrough last season and that’s why his Markets value is growing higher everyday. Also in the Bundesliga, Jonas Hoffman is a star too. This guy joined with the others have been the back bone of the team. Also at the defense i nearly forgot about Jonathan TAH who is also a rock solid defender for both club and country.

We all can say Leverkusen took us by surprise but I will say they actually looked like a club that will definitely threaten since from last season when Xabi Alonso took over. The club were in relegation battle until his appointment where he took the team to Europa League after falling just a little short off the champions league spot. I had the believe from them that they will go all the way this season and they are proving that already

In my opinion, the players you mentioned are indeed very important players in their respective roles, but what is meant by star player are players who are famous from season to season whose potential is different from the average player. While Bayern Munich has striking star player such as Harry Kane, like other big team has star players whose names are famous in the world of football. It is true that Leverkusen has quality players at the moment, but their names are not very well known and their potential is good only when Xabi Alonso can take over the coaching chair and can build cooperation with the players so that the performance can be like now.

Since the presence of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has started to put pressure on Bayern Munich at the start of this season, which continue to be at the top and has not experienced defeats, so currently it is making it difficult for Bayern Munich to occupy first place, but I don't think this is enough to prove that Leverkusen will wins the title because Bayern Munich will continues to trail Leverkusen until they wait for Leverkusen to slip.

Dortmund appeared not good in the last few matches. They have only been able to win one of the last five matches. I don't know what makes their performance appear quite bad this season. But I think Dortmund must really struggle to improve their ranking. Currently many are talking about Ajax at Eredivise who is able to rise from adversity. I hope Dortmund will also be able to appear quite good to get a place in the Champions League.

Without winning any major titles, Borrusia Dortmund are stable because they're making hugh earnings from the selling of their promising players for gigantic price to elite clubs every transfer window. The UEFA Champions League is mainly the target of every elite club in bundesliga and their existence would become very competitive and focused on the title. Bundesliga is tough, the club's competing for the title have become prominent and consistent, they only would settle for important and profiting results. Borussia Dortmund doesn't take the Bundesliga serious as they should because they have become one of these elite clubs that have experienced victories and winning becomes easy for them.

I don't think if that's the first priority for Dortmund to achieve the title in the Bundesliga. They had good performance so far as they wanted to have and Dortmund is currently on the top side of the Bundesliga and that's what they wanted to get.
For a team like Dortmund, their business is more important and they try to make money from selling their players, while if Dortmund was trying to keep players like Jude Bellingham and avoid selling this player, they could even have had better results and even race with Byaer nMunichadn Leverkusen for the title but that's not the priority for them.
However in the next, they are going to have, Dortmund will play against Darmstadt, Dortmound can definitely win this game easily.

Dortmund's player sales business has always been a hot topic and they have become a successful team in producing talented players for big European teams. It's no surprise that their profits must be very large every year because there are always players who leave at very expensive prices. Jude Bellingham was perhaps the latest last summer and Dortmund pocketed more than 100 million euros from his investment.

It is not difficult for Dortmund to beat Damstadt, but actually I am quite doubtful that Dortmund will be able to win because this team has not been very good lately and we often find criticism of Edin Terzic. Imagine that Dortmund in the last 5 matches only won 1 win and the rest were losses and draws. Isn't that bad enough for Dortmund so far? Meanwhile, Damstadt is still trying to escape the relegation zone and in fact they are much worse than Dortmund. But what is clear is that this is an away match for Dortmund and at least they have to win if they want to make their fans happy and not fall into an atmosphere of disappointment. Dortmund's winning odds are quite good and worth betting on.

[hahay]

However, it is quite reasonable as you say that if we look back at Dortmund's last few matches I think there is absolutely nothing satisfying about their performance, very different from usual. The draws against Mainz and Augsburg are a hot topic of conversation where both of these teams are far below Dortmund but Dortmund can only get a draw in both of these matches. So I think it's only natural that there are some speculations and assumptions that doubt Dortmund in the match against Darmstadt, unexpected results or even worse than the previous two matches are still possible.

Dortmund's performance in the last few matches is clearly disappointing and nothing impressive at all but even so, that does not mean Dortmund will continue to get bad results . After all, playing against Darmstadt who are at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings is also certainly a good chance for Dortmund to get good results again with three point of course.

Indeed, there is no blame for anyone who assumes Darmstadt might be able to beat Dortmund or just draw. But yes, I personally remain confident that Dortmund will still succeed in getting full points in the match because if Dortmund still fails in this match then yes, of course Dortmund's situation will become worse.

Ajax were in last place in the standings not too long ago, but now they are in fifth place. But there is much more competition in the Bundesliga. Probably Dortmund spent a lot of energy in the group stage of the Champions League, so they performed poorly in the Bundesliga. But their position in the standings is still good.

[Jody.Drummer]

An interesting match after this break is the match between Freiburg vs Union Berlin. I must say that this season both Freiburg and Union Berlin are in decline, but Union Berlin is in a much worse decline than Freiburg. In the last 5 matches played by Union Berlin they could only record 2 wins, and the rest ended in disappointment, 2 defeats and 1 draw and made their position in 15th place, only one level at the safety zone limit.
Freiburg themselves are actually residents in the European zone zone, but now they are ranked 8th in the standings. Both clubs want to get the best results, because it can make them even better in terms of position. But it is not that easy for them to get points, because they have to beat each other.

Comparing Xabi and Xavi based on their performances with their respective teams won't be fair because these teams weren't on the same level. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now but Barcelona has more advantages and quality squad but Xavi failed to capitalize on his assets.
.
 So far Xabi has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager. Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too.

So, that what I mean by saying that Xabi Alonso and Xavi are very different because just looking at the respective teams they train, the differences are clear.
From the start, Barcelona has been big team with many great players and of course this makes it easier for Xavi to build more perfect squad that can have strong playing quality.
Meanwhile, Xabi himself has to work hard to carry out various strategies in arranging the best possible composition of players and can apply his playing style with the strategies he has so that Leverkusen can compete and beat big team.
Everything has been clearly proven and Leverkusen achievements are not only in the Bundesliga but also in the European League, Leverkusen is truly team that cannot be underestimated by all the teams that are their opponents this season in the Bundesliga and European League.

Well, so far Xabi has been very good coach and if this season he succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to win one or two of the important competitions he is taking part in then he will truly have history.
Xabi will be the best coach in the history of the Leverkusen football team because the achievements and changes that Xabi brought to Leverkusen were very short.

Leverkusen will face Augsburg in mid-January and this is their first match of the new year.
I'm sure they can win easily.
After that, Leverkusen will also face Stuttgart in the DFB Cup for the quarter-finals, if Leverkusen manages to win the DFB Cup then this will also be one of the big achievements for this season and will be their first title.

[topbitcoin]

It is true that the chemistry that Xabi Alonso has built with all the players in the Leverkusen squad is strong enough so that they can carry out their strategy quite well and in my opinion that is the key to their success to date, even though if you look at the depth of their squad there are no star players, however Their team's performance this season has been extraordinary.
And Xabi Alonso built this team not only this season but since his arrival in the middle of last season, so it's only natural that this season they are quite solid.

Regardless of what happens now for Leverkusen there are indeed several thing  that support them to get to this position apart from the experience they have before, the good chemistry between Xabi and the players make  Leverkusen what it is now.

But talking about star players at Leverkusen i actually don't really agree with what you said because after all by looking at the players they have there are actually several players whose quality is above average, such as Wirtz, who in fact is one of the young players who has great potential in Leverkusen and in his own country Germany. In addition there is the name Palacios which we know he is one of the Argentine midfielders who won the world cup which certainly has quite good skills and there is the name Xhaka who is actually a figure who has more experience for Leverkusen. Even though they can still be said to be smaller than some big names like Kane or even Cristiano and Messi they are one of the Leverkusen  players who can be said to be stars to date because the quality of their skills is still above average.

Bundesliga matches will resume in mid-January next year and I think Dortmund can definitely get a change in their playing pattern in the upcoming matches. Because now all the teams in the Bundesliga are starting to have more time to develop the best strategy again before the next match starts again this season. Moreover, the winter transfer market will also open in early January so all teams must make sufficient preparations to be able to buy better players for the remainder of this season.

The Christmas and New Year holidays must be secured as momentum to evaluate deficiencies that have so far not been able to be overcome in the team. Dortmund can also take advantage of the January transfer market if they want to return to the top four positions. Dortmund had to fight hard to return their performance to their best, they ended the year with a 6 point deficit from RB Leipzig.

The presence of Stuttgart and Leipzig in the top four will make it even more difficult for Dortmund and Frankfurt to catch the top four. As long as the match schedule has not started, they still have the opportunity to strengthen the team to perform even better.

[Godday]

Regardless of what happens now for Leverkusen there are indeed several thing  that support them to get to this position apart from the experience they have before, the good chemistry between Xabi and the players make  Leverkusen what it is now.

That's what makes Xabi become one of the best young coaches in the world today. Because PSV has a style of play that suits what Xabi wants in his football philosophy. Even though he doesn't have any famous star players, or maybe I don't know him, Xabi was able to build strong chemistry between the players and in the end they were able to adopt the tactics and style of play that Xabi wanted.

Yes, Dortmund can have a chance to beat Darmstadt, but looking at the odds provided by the bookies, there seems to be a little doubt.
If Dortmund could win easily, the bookie would definitely give odds below @1.3, but I see the current odds for Dortmund @1.57, this is quite big for me and one side in the history of meetings between these two clubs, Darmstadt has held a draw and has also beaten Dortmund, meanwhile Dortmund is still performing inconsistently.
I avoid betting on this match because I believe there is a surprise in this match between a draw or Darmstadt winning because the bookie also seems a little hesitant to give slightly higher odds.
But will you bet on this match and choose to bet on Dortmund?

Bundesliga teams have enough time recovery performance because matches will resume on the middle on january next year and some teams can get recovery with their player with injury. Dortmund is one of Bundesliga teams with inconsistent performance however their good result achievement success qualify on Champion League but their performance not quit well in domestic league.
Seems Dortmund will not active on January transfer window and keep focus with current their squad although have to play in champion league and get consistent performance in domestic league.

It's true, all Bundesliga teams have enough time to prepare their squad because they have had enough rest since their last match. At least all teams have a break of more than 3 weeks from December 21 to January 13, so it is true that they can prepare everything very well.

However, keep in mind that some players may not perform optimally in the first match after a long break. Vacation time will have an impact on some players because of their bad habits, but if each player is given strict sanctions not to overdo things then perhaps their performance will not decline. I am sure that excessive partying and some celebrations during the end of the year and the start of the new year will affect the players' fitness, this will definitely have a negative impact on the team's performance.
