Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[minairia3]

Bundesliga teams are playing friendly matches one week before resuming league games.
I see that Bayern Munich got a 1 - 1 draw with Basel Switzerland although the first team participated in this match along with substitutes.. I don't want to get conclusions since it is just a friendly match but Bayern Munich could do better than that. Dortmund ended its match with AZ Alkmaar with a draw too, this time 2 goals for each team. Bayer Leverkusen will play tomorrow and Leipzig had a game against another Switzerland team, St Gallen and as they said, they started the new year well with a 1 - 0 victory
Leipzig had a challenging game against Frankfurt in round 17 comparing to the other top teams but they look favourite especially when they will play home.

I don't think we should be bothered about these friendly matches at all, to be honest. Because after all, no one gives it their all in this match. They don't even put half of the effort they put in an average Bundesliga game or something. Friendly matches should not be the factor to judge a team for unless it is an international match.

Bayern Munich are doing alright at the moment and better than previous seasons if we compare their performances from previous seasons. It is just due to the extraordinary performance of Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich's performance has been overshadowed.

[Texac]

I think it's too early to say a match will determine the title race between Leverkusen and Bayern.
After a long holiday, it is possible for the team to experience changes, whether positive changes or otherwise, so we will just have to wait and see to what extent Bayern and Leverkusen are able to maintain their consistency like the strength they have shown since the start of the season and I believe that Leverkusen and Bayern have the possibility to compete in the race. Bundesliga title this season until the last week.

I do think that the difference will be close, maybe a single game difference may not be the result at the end, but that single game could have morale and psychological results as well. In a scenario where Leverkusen keeps winning and Bayern drops points somewhere, Leverkusen may feel a lot better and end up winning even more, thinking they are on the road to championship. Whereas, if Bayern wins but Leverkusen loses, that may lose their morale and they may think they lost their chances and not play as well.

As you can see, it's just one game, and yet the difference is staggering and it has happened in football many times before. This is why I believe that we are not going to see anything major at all, should be normal situation.

I think between the remaining of the matches left in Bundesliga, the most important match is the match between them and Bayer Leverkusen which will have the most impact on determining the champion of the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Munich is doing very good right now. It is just that their performance has been overshadowed by the extraordinary performance of Xabi and his team. What Xabi is doing is very extraordinary and I guess to stop the likes of Bayern Munich you need extraordinary stuff. But I think at the end of the day Bayern will catch up with Bayer Leverkusen.

Bad news for Bayern Munich after losing Kim Min-jae have to pay for his national teams South Korea in AFC Asian Cup, its not good position because during Asian Cup begin take more than one month and Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae will absent until six domestic league matches.
Have many crucial in six matches later but Bayern Munich have to find new player for filling Kim Min-jae position on central defender,
have played all matches in domestic league and appearance 5 matches in Champion League seems he is most important player for Bayern Munich but Thomas Tuchel must find right replacement on defender due six matches later Kim Min-jae will absent and participants in AFC Asian Cup with South Korea.

He is an important player in the team because only Alphonso Davies has played more matches (23) than Kim-Jae (22) this season, which simply means that Bayern Munich needs to sign a temporary defender for the main time before the end of the season.

Bayern will also lose Sarr, and Choupo-Moting to Cameroon due to Africa Cup of Nation's competition; but this will not affect the team that much because they both played 19 matches each so far in the competitions which means they have other players that will play their respective positions.

[imamusma]

There is one week left for the second half of the season to start. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen both will probably start this half with decent victories. Because their games aren't very challenging ones. I look forward to watching the Leverkusen - Bayern Munich game in the league on February 10 honestly because this game can play a great role in the championship race.

The other thing I'm curious about is whether Stuttgart will be able to maintain this great progress. Guirassy's contribution is really big to the team so far however they might lose him in January at the same time. Because he has a release clause which is quite a low amount for big teams. If they lose Guirassy then I don't think Stuttgart can finish the season in top four. 

Yes, the meeting between the two will be very decisive for their position, if Leverkusen win and their performance does not decline, then they will be further away from Bayern Munich, but if they lose then Bayern Munich will be able to overtake them in the standings.
It looks like Xabi has been preparing for this, because the scenario is not far from what I said. Xabi must really take advantage of their meeting, don't lose, at least they can hold Bayern Munich's draw, even though they can't stay away, at least they can still maintain their position in the standings.
I hope these two clubs don't go down, and if they do it will be more interesting if they can sweep all the remaining matches with a win. Yes, although it is very difficult and close to impossible, but hope does not hurt.

The Bayern Munchen versus Bayer Leverkusen meeting in the second round is highly anticipated, because it will determine the difference in points between the two. However, it does not rule out the possibility that before this meeting the difference in points will start to build up, there are 4 matches that must be completed in the Bundesliga before that.

In the first meeting, Bayern versus Leverkusen played a draw at the Allianz Arena. In the future, Xabi Alonso and his fleet will act as hosts, which is very beneficial for them. However, there are other challenges they face in the future, namely the busy match schedule because the Champions League and European League competitions have resumed.

[QueenVera]

Jeremie Frimpong was became an Leverkusen player since 2021 but there were no big teams who showing their interest to this player previously but Xabi Alonso know his potention that he can able to maximizing the talents of Jeremie Frimpong which make this player has been showing impressive performance at Leverkusen defensive lines and just like you says as a right back Frimpong is very productive because during this season at Bundesliga Frimpong was scores 5 goals and 6 assists so i am not surprised if Arsenal was interested to him

Arsenal indeed look for some of players this winter especially after Takehiro Tomiyasu will playing at Asian Cup so Arteta want to managed depth of squad for Arsenal because they have tight schedules at Premier league and Champion league and Arteta feel Frimpong is the right player to replace Tomiyasu because with Leverkusen Frimpong performance is quite consistent and besides Arsenal reported Liverpool also showing their interest to Frimpong because they look for the substitution player for Trent Alexander-Arnold and indeed Liverpool has Joe Gomez but the performance of this player was quite unstable so Klopp feel Liverpool have to bought at least 1 more player for right back position moreover Frimpong price tag is not too expensive

The transfer window is open now and it's going to be stay up until the end of the month and that's enough time for teams to maximize their chances of squad growth and improvement. There are expected additions and subtractions too and which ever way the effect will be evident. Anyways Frimpong is a very important player for Leverkusen, he's helped them get this far and even though Xabi Alonso decides to let go of one of his most priced assets I don't think it's going to be this transfer window.

 It's also time for Alonso to carefully make his choice of players change too. His team is doing just fine and it's his decision if he wants to effect any change to the team. He knows what he wants and at thesame time, I believe the EPL teams will be the ones with the greater squad changes this season. There are a number of players who they are aiming for, we will see all unfold in the course of the transfer window.

I have the same reaction as you. I mean Kane is world class who needs no introduction. His ability was just hidden by Spurs trophy drought. He is proving himself right now in the Bundesliga and he is currently the highest in all the top leagues combined in Europe.  I believe he will win a trophy this round if Leverkusen ends undefeated streak. Bayern's performance has been overshadowed by Leverkusen's performance right now But I don't think it will be long before they get on the top.

If Bayern does not win a trophy this season then I can't even imagine how he will be trolled at the end of the season.

Harry Kane has proven it, even now Kane is the top scorer in the Bundesliga. in his 15 matches, he has scored 21 goals.  who previously had a big difference from the Stuttgart striker, namely Serhou Guirassy. Kane was able to do his job very well, he was also able to contribute 5 assists. if we count other competitions, Kane has scored more or less 30 goals for Bayern Munich. even though Leverkusen is currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings, that doesn't mean Bayern will just let it go. after all, these two teams are only separated by 4 points. moreover, the Bundesliga still has a lot of matches left until the end of the season. plus, Bayern has one game postponed. apart from that, Kane's goal in leaving the Premier League is none other than to achieve his dream of winning various trophies and if possible, Kane can get a player award, whatever it may be. what is certain is that Kane's desire to win a trophy is very passionate and is his target.

By the way, whether it's successful or not, whether it's Harry Kane's ambition or Bayern Munich's target, they have a chance to do that. moreover, Bayern has a meeting with Xabi Alonso's squad at BayArena, Leverkusen's home ground. which means, Tuchel will not waste the momentum for his team to get full points when they visit Leverkusen's home ground. at the same time, Alonso must further strengthen his team if he doesn't want their ranking to be shifted by Bayern Munich in the future. for now, I still think that Bayern's chances of retaining the title in this league are quite big. except, if Leverkusen is able to overthrow Bayern in the meeting between these two teams later. but at least, so far the Bundesliga competition offers something different, especially in the competition for trophies.

Jeremy Frimpong is so important that eve if they want to let him leave, it has to be until the end of the season before they can think of the right valuation to let him go!
Frimpong had scored five goals in Bundesliga and also given six assist which has come in important games. He hasn't done too much they have come during games when they need him. They're into two hot Competitions, they are favorites to also win one of em but most importantly the German Bundesliga should be taken seriously.

Xabi Alonso alongside his important players would be sold out and attracted by big European sides in the Premier League and La Liga. Key to winning the Bundesliga League Competition would be to add players into the club.

I see that Leverkusen releases more players to strengthen their respective national teams than Bayern Munchen. So I don't think there are too big worries in the future in creating consistency, and management will not spend money to recruit players they need for just one month, they have a backing they can rely on for the next few games.

Tuchel and Xabi certainly understand the consequences if their players leave the team to strengthen their country, and I think the two coaches have prepared a strategy with the existing player rotation options. The challenge will be more difficult if the European competition is held again, they need full strength supported by a complete squad to go further.

In the next 5 matches, to be precise in week 21, Bayern will face Leverkusen, that is the big match that everyone is most waiting for. I certainly won't miss it, because I want to see how the match goes to determine the strongest team in the hunt for trophies this season.

The absence of these players, especially Kim Min-jae requires a strategic approach from coach Thomas Tuchel to ensure the team continuing the progress. I think this is a big test for Tuchel on  how he will guide bayern with tough compotition in the league posed by Leverkusen. It's well-known that Tuchel hasn't had full support from Bayern Fans who demand a much better performances and a convincing competition like they used to.

Tuchel must assess the team's current defensive roster and potentially explore the transfer market for a temporary solution. The replacement should be able to seamlessly integrate into the team's playing style and contribute defensively. With several key players absent, Tuchel might need to rotate the squad wisely during this period. He needs to manage player fatigue and ensure that the remaining squad members are in peak condition for crucial domestic and Champions League matches. Bayern Munich has a strong squad depth, and this period without key players is an opportunity for others to step up. Players who have had limited playing time thus far might seize this chance to prove their worth and contribute meaningfully to the team.

@bitgolden post the restart there’s always a good chance that the favourites may just end up losing hence I won’t be surprised if they drop points right at the restart. Furthermore I’m sincerely wishing that Kane gets his hands on a major trophy by winning the Bundesliga League because for all his achievements so far he’s yet to win a major trophy hence I hope that Bayern player’s give it all for his sake.

Of course it would be a great honor for Harry Kane if his colleagues from Bayern munich worked hard to be able to present Harry Kane with a trophy this season. Indeed, Harry Kane has never won a trophy in his career and if this season Bayern munich becomes champion then Bayern munich will definitely dedicate this season's title to Harry Kane. Bayern munich are also very strong this season so if they fail to become champions Harry Kane will definitely be quite disappointed this season. Apart from that, Bayern munich also performed well in the Champions League so there is a bigger chance for them to win the trophy this season.

Even this season Bayern Munich is very close to returning to leading the standings where they only have a point difference with Leverkusen of only 4 points and Bayern still has 1 match for the 16th Bundesliga match. So if Bayern munich can take advantage of this 1 opportunity, they will be able to reduce the point difference to 1 with Leverkusen who are at the top of the standing.

[TelolettOm]

Indeed. Bayern Munich is very successful to sign Harry Kane, he contributes a lot for Bayern Munich. Harry Kane showed that he is the right striker for Bayern Munich, he already scored many goals. He proved to everyone that he deserves to buy with big transfer fees. Bayern Munich finally got the right replacement for Lewandowski.

Harry Kane is very suitable for Bayern Munich's game. Since Harry Kane's presence, Bayern Munich's goal productivity has increased, different from last season before Kane appeared. Yes, Harry Kane could be said to be the new predator on Bayern Munich's front line as a replacement for Lewandowski and deserves such a high price.

Yes, it's like that. What is needed now is how to ensure that Bayern can still defend its Bundesliga title. because currently, they are in second place, where Leverkusen is currently at the top of the standings because of their extraordinary performance. This is certainly also a special pressure for Kane, who definitely wants his team to win the league. And of course not only that because there is UCL waiting, which in fact is definitely dreamed of by all clubs.

Ah I see, I just also read the news about the friendly match between Basel vs Bayern Munich . And the score was 1 - 1 drawn. Well, they have done their best, trying to optimize all existing opportunities. However, the conditions were like that until it ended in a draw. This is a friendly match, so it shouldn't have much of an impact on their future performance.

When Bayern Munich signed Harry Kane last summer, I know that particular transfer deal is gonna yield many positivities and just like I predicted, Harry Kane has already kicked the ground running in his first season at the club. Over the past one decade, I don't there's any English striker who's got more English Premier League goals than Harry have managed to score but his only problem was that he was playing for a Tottenham Hotspur team that didn't have all the world class players that'll help him win trophies.

But considering the quality of players at Bayern Munich, I knew it will be a match made in heaven should they sign a player like Harry Kane. Before he joined Bayern Munich, he didn't have a trophy to his name but I'm very optimistic that he's gonna finish this season with at least a trophy

There was already a friendly game today between FC Basel an Bayern Munich that was ended with a draw of 1 : 1.
Munich was the better team and got a lot of chances and was just unlucky for not score more goals in this game.
Also Dortmund played against AZ Alkmaar in a friendly match and they also played a draw here.

friendly match often the main player don't play seriously enough in this match and a 1-1 result is enough to be the answer for today match. Where Bayern munich were able to perform better but they didn't score many goal and I think they respected their opponents so they didn't beat them in this friendly match. Well Dortmund also drew in this match even though dortmund was quite superior in possession of the ball but they also closed this match with a draw.

However, Dortmund is not very strong this season, Where they have fallen out of the top 4 and dortmund is currently ranked 5th for the time being. Dortmund must return to the top 4 because that position will be their place every season. On the other hand, leverkusen is also very strong this season because they were able to maintain their ranking as leader of the standing until the first half of this season.

Timo Werner is about to be transferred by Tottenham on loan until the end of the season. Leipzig must be contented with the deal because they were already not giving much chance to him. Besides he had some injury problems on one hand as well. Werner isn't playing like in the past anymore even in the Bundesliga while wearing the shirt of his old team.

I don't know how much he can be beneficial for Tottenham honestly. Because you must remember how bad he was when he was playing for Chelsea. Of course there is no guarantee for anything yet but I just don't have big expectations.

What are the big expectations we should expects from Timo Werner when he finally puts on Tottenham jersey on? The Spurs expects goals and assists from the German. The loan deal will definitely be pulled because spurs picks interest in Timo Werner because of his good form in his club, however I'm familiar with his stats and form. He easily fades when his team needs him, he doesn't deliver good job when everything rely on him, that's the moment he will vanished in the fin air. Timo Werner coming back to the English Premier League, a u-turn to Tottenham Hotspur and not Chelsea this time around.

Is anyone here betting on the Bayern Munich vs Basel friendly match? and did your bet win or lose?
I missed betting on that match but unfortunately I saw something a little strange in that match when Bayern Munich, one of the giant teams in the bundesliga, ended in a draw against a small team from the Swiss league and even more strangely, Bayern Munich always put pressure on shooting the ball repeatedly but didn't on target but only 1 shot was able to score. Aseko Nkili managed to score while Kane wasted several opportunities.

I'm sure many people lost if they bet on yesterday's match, the draw was very bad and I'm sure Bayern Munich didn't perform optimally because it was only a friendly match.

I think it's quite strange if someone bets on a friendly match and even though the level difference is very large, it still poses a risk. We know that normally Bayern Munich will definitely win easily, but this is not guaranteed in a match like this because of course they will play very carefully to avoid players getting injured.

Even though the match ended in a 1-1 draw, that was enough for Bayern Munich to maintain the fitness of their players ahead of the Bundesliga start of the year competition which was getting closer. They have to prepare everything so they can compete with Leverkusen and consolidate the title they always win every season. The friendly match is like a warm-up match and I think they won't be too serious no matter who they're playing against and won't care if they lose.

I don’t like friendly matches because they don’t decide anything for the team, especially since this is their first match this year after a break, and it’s very difficult to motivate yourself to win a match that doesn’t decide anything. In addition, the odds on Bayern were 1.18. I never bet on such low odds, even if it is an official match. Although Basel is really weak now, they are at the bottom of the Swiss Super League table, but this does not cancel the fact that this is just a friendly match.

Good move for the player and for Tottenham Hotspur, he'll most likely leave Leipzig also at the end of the season because he's adding nothing to the squad, they can't let important players leave on loan, if he's so important they'll not even initiate for such a six months loan deal. Hopefully he'll do well for Tottenham as he'll also be having enough game time to play for Tottenham Hotspur.

The medical has also been well arranged and it's not likely to be done today and he'll resume training next week with em.

He wasn't much of a bad player for Chelsea, he was only unlucky. Godspeed with the next six months, and a big welcome back to the Premier League.
