Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[G_Besar]

maybe you mean the European League.
Xabi has indeed made Leverkusen's performance extraordinary in all competitions. and that is a threat to Munich, which has dominated the Bundesliga for several seasons.
It wasn't easy for Xabi to beat Munich's dominance, but now they are proving that they can do it. they don't rely on luck, they do it because of the tactics and hard work of everyone on the team.

What Xabi Alonso has proven is a quite extraordinary fact because from the current ranking position it is also quite clear that Bayer Leverkusen is indeed capable of performing better and is very impressive this season by winning more matches. However, Bayer Leverkusen still has to be wary of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga because there is still enough time for their closest rival to take first place. But for the Europa League, I think there will also be more tense competition because there are several teams from England and Italy which could be an obstacle for Bayer Leverkusen in fighting for the trophy.

there is no easy competition for trophies. and it is a challenge for Xabi to make his team not only achieve improved performance but also achieve trophy targets.
If Leverkusen hasn't left Munich with a promising point difference, they certainly won't be able to calm down. they will learn from Dortmund's experience last season.
while in the European League, of course, Xabi has to think hard enough to make the right strategy to beat their strong competitors like Liverpool or Milan who might qualify for the next round.

It would be nice if the Bundesliga had a new champion at the end of the season, that is the sentence that represents Laverkusen and their chances of winning it. Saying this does not mean underestimating what Tuchel and Bayern Munchen have, because we really understand that Bayern has the attributes to make any team bow before them in the second half of the season. In the end, all contestants will again admit that Bayern dominance has not been broken. Therefore, Xabi must try to continue to develop, collecting point by point, if they want to realize their dreams.

"Neverkusen" is the nickname given to Xabi squad because of their failures in the past, this season there is an opportunity for Xabi to make everyone correct this nickname and must say it eloquently and correctly as "Bayer Leverkusen". Who knows, luck will come to Xabi and his Leverkusen this season, and in the end we will see them become the new champions of the Bundesliga.

I actually want to see a new champion in the Bundesliga. The competition has been so one-sided for a very long time that it has actually become boring. But this season Bayer Leverkusen have actually been able to throw some life back into this competition. Next time it seems like a new champion might be possible. But of course, nothing is certain. Anything can still happen and for Leverkusen to be able to win the Bundesliga title, they will have to be consistent throughout the whole season. I would not even mind if they did not do well in the Europa League competition. I want them to win the Bundesliga title.

Breaking News!

Bad news has come for Leverkusen because their mainstay striker this season, Victor Boniface, is reportedly injured and will be out for 6 weeks. The player from Nigeria also had to miss AFCON and I think this is a loss experienced by Nigeria and Leverkusen because they have to lose a very important figure in the competition. Victor Boniface has a right muscle-tendon injury and will undergo surgery in the next few days.

It seems that the intensity of the existing competition meant he had to step aside early before AFCON and the Bundesliga at the start of this year. Once again, Victor Boniface is a victim of the national competition he has to play for and previously we knew at Leverkusen he had no injury problems at all. Obviously this will be the biggest loss for Leverkusen because they lost the spearhead of their attack while currently topping the standings.

There is enough time for leverkusen to buy a new striker but it has a backup for boniface. Im not really sure xabi will be feeling panic caused by he must be seeing one of his key player out for weeks. Im not seeing it as a serious problem caused by there were many solutions are available right now.
Xabi is having a lot of solutions to fix this problem. The secondary striker is not that bad to replace him when he will be out for a few weeks. People shall not be feeling panic caused by leverkusen has xabi on its side. He knew that the best for his club.
I trust on xabi and he knew what needs to be done to make sure missing boniface will not be really impacting the performance from the club. It was a bit blow for leverkusen but since injury can't be avoided then what's next?
Leverkusen may be starting to search for the new striker.

Theoretically, taking into account the fact that if not for the injury, Boniface would have taken part in the African Cup and would still have been absent from Bayer's upcoming games, Xabi should already have some kind of plan. But now the situation has become more complicated since restoration within the specified time frame is not guaranteed.
I'm shocked that Boniface scored 10 goals and are the club's top scorer, but the club's second top scorer is defender Grimaldo (7 goals) 
Maybe he should finally change his position?

[Salahmu]

The Bundesliga is really interesting now as the matchday progresses we are seeing that even though Bayern Munich is still the favorite to win even my self I really get some interest in Bayer Leverkusen and how they are doing it, seemingly making Bayern Munich a laughing stock right now, but even though Bayern Munich is not far behind the position 4 points are seemingly impossible because Bayer Leverkusen still doesn't have any losses despite having some Draws it is still better to have Draws than Losses on this situation because right now Bayern Munich now has 1 lost so it is not looking really good for Bayern Munich,

Yeah that's correct because with the way the league is progressing is becoming obvious that the champion will change hand this season because in as much as Bayern Munich points is almost as the Bayern Leverkusen points I don't think there is any possibility of Bayern Munich becoming the first position on the league because for Bayern Leverkusen to have gone this far they will never allow any club including Bayern Munich to stand as a barrier to there chances of becoming the league champion.

Perhaps the league will start getting tougher now because Bayern Munich will be looking for an opportunity for Bayern Leverkusen to loose two matches so that they could bring them down, although at first I was thinking Bayern Munich interest was not really on this league but however I realize that the reason why they have not been able to dominate this league was because of Bayern Leverkusen performance they did not give Bayern Munich any breathing space.

This is like what happened to Sadio Mane when he played for Bayern Munich and was injured so he couldn't play for Senegal in the Qatar World Cup, and both of them were quite disadvantaged by what Mane experienced, but the case is a little bit different.
Bayer Leverkusen certainly does not expect this because the club really hopes that he will always be fit to continue to help his team achieve victory in league matches, and when it comes to plays against Leipzig and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga match and the DFB Cup quarter-final against Stuttgart it will be very difficult for Leverkusen without Boniface.

Victor Boniface is a very important striker of Leverkusen. He scored 16 goals and 7 assists in 16 matches. He played very well. But we must not forget that the Leverkusen team is not dependent on any particular player this season. Victor Boniface scored 16 goals. However, the Leverkusen team is not completely dependent on Victor Boniface. Xabi Alonso is quite an experienced coach. He will surely find a worthy replacement for Victor Boniface. However, I don't think Leverkusen's performance will suffer much if a suitable replacement is not found. I am still optimistic about Leverkusen's consistent performance.

Leverkusen is still having patrik schick as the secondary striker and im not seeing it as an important thing. Boniface was injury then what's next? what i can say that if just try to let him recover himself. It will be useless to argue when he will be back and just trust the process.
It's not yet a big lose for leverkusen. Im think that patrik can use this moment to prove his worthiness as a striker as well. This makes the situation becomes even worst and we can only hope that he will able to play good like boniface.

Im not complaining if he was injured caused by this is a non predictable thing. This will make xabi aware how important to have a secondary striker. The club can't always rely upon boniface.
As long as leverkusen has secondary striker then what's the problem? Despite knowing that Boniface was a good player, is it not unfair to deny the secondary striker an opportunity to play, especially considering Boniface's injury?

I think that this is a reasonable solution for this problem.

When I heard the news of Victor Boniface injury that'll rule him out for the next six weeks, I felt very bad about it because the Nigeria international was supposed to already in the list of players that'll play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the CAF African Cup Of Nations which will kick off later this month. His injury has ruled him out of the tournament and that news has been a big blow to the national team coach of Nigeria but more disturbing to Xabi Alonso who's the manager of Victor Boniface at Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface have been absolutely clinical for his club Bayer Leverkusen since the start of the season and his very impressive performances is the reason why the club is still at the top of the German Bundesliga table till date. His temporary absence I think will affect his team's performance in the few games they'll play without him.

[Velvet78]

Boniface's absence will be sad for Leverkusen for sure. However I don't think this will create a huge problem for the team. Because it is like everyone is contributing a lot to the team with goals and assists. I mean even Grimaldo has scored lots of goals and made many assists even though his natural position is left-back.

Leverkusen get a lot of contribution from their defenders and midfielders as well this season. Besides there are solid alternatives in their forward position too. Therefore I still expect Leverkusen to stay strong in the attacking line.

Bayer Leverkusen desperately needs Boniface, and I believe this will have an impact on the team's performance because in every match Leverkusen plays, Victor Boniface always makes sure they end the match with a win or a draw. To be honest, I know the team will have someone to replace him, but the person cannot be as good as Boniface, although I believe in Alonso and he will do his best to ensure the team's performance does not change, but still it won't be like before.

Bayern Munich will be happy now because Bayer Leverkusen is the only team that wants to give them a problem of winning the league this season and they will want to use the opportunity of Boniface's absence to top the league table, xabi Alonso should think very well and act in time if not they will find themselves in a position that they did not expect, to be honest it's a bad news to hear about Boniface.

I hope this will not have a big effect on them. Because if they actually go behind Bayern Munich, it is going to be really hard for them to recover. And again the chance for them or any other game to actually beat Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title is going to disappear. I definitely do not want that. But I also understand that injury is the probably only thing that it was going to make Bayern Munich get ahead of Leverkusen in this season. And maybe that is going to happen now with this injury. Let's hope that Xabi Alonso actually has some plan in place.

[Cryptmuster]

Victor Boniface is a very important striker of Leverkusen. He scored 16 goals and 7 assists in 16 matches. He played very well. But we must not forget that the Leverkusen team is not dependent on any particular player this season. Victor Boniface scored 16 goals.

However, I don't think Leverkusen's performance will suffer much if a suitable replacement is not found. I am still optimistic about Leverkusen's consistent performance.

This is a big loss for Bayer, and it’s even more disappointing when a player receives such injuries in games for the national team. I see that it is predicted that Boniface will be out for two to three months, in addition, he will still need time to recover after such a long pause. This will be a difficult time for Bayer, losing the leader of the attack is always difficult, but maybe this will allow Grimaldo, or other players, to prove themselves in his absence.

Of course, losing a main player will definitely make Bayer Leverkusen suffer a big loss because Boniface is Xabi's best recruit among the other strikers that Leverkusen has because he is the one the team can rely on indeed, this is the fate of Bayer. As a coach of course not only relying on just 1 key player, the team must be able to get up and work together so that their performance doesn't decline, I'm sure Xabi can do it, even though he is a young coach but his abilities are extraordinary and there is no doubt that he is very good at providing tactics for his players so they don't experienced defeat.

This is why I say Leverkusen will find it difficult to become Bundesliga champions. Because they don't have as good squad depth as Munich. With a point difference of only 4 points, I think Leverkusen should be able to appear consistent. And to be consistent, a team must have good squad depth so they can rotate players. I think this is a problem faced by clubs who are not favorites to win at the start of the season like Girona in La Liga. This is bad news for Leverkusen and their next match is against Augsburg. I want to see how they perform without Victor Boniface.

[Luzin]

Bayern leverkusen is always having good delivery and why shall we feel doubt about that? Im not even doubting the capability of leverkusen in the match against munich for the bundesliga trophy this season.

Of course with the current conditions their statistics are very good. So there is nothing lacking in their team. But because Bayern Munich's statistics are able to be more stable, maybe many people have more confidence in Munich. I think there are several reasons. Munich has a large transfer fund that might be able to change things. Munchen has more stability and has been tested in several seasons of competition. The statistics of the Munich players are superior. But Bayern Munich did lose because they underestimated the opposing team. They lost 5-1 with Frankfrut.

I guess it doesn't really matter where and when a player gets injured, but the discussions will be there whether the national teams and medical and coaching teams behind the squad are as professional as the team waiting in the country of the domestic league. That I think is really a big problem. When a player leaves a top professional club like Leverkusen with all these professionals in the background for everything that needs to be done in terms of training and recovery and treatment, I am sure it feels bad if the player then joins the Nigerian national team and instantly gets injured. I guess that approaches are very different and I would be surprised if all of the national associations operate on the same level as the clubs in the European top leagues. It can't be the case because there is much less money involved.

[Weawant]

I hope this will not have a big effect on them. Because if they actually go behind Bayern Munich, it is going to be really hard for them to recover.

Let's hope that Xabi Alonso actually has some plan in place.

The absence of victor Boniface is definitely going to affect Leverkusen a great deal because he's a key player and his performance has been such that has really been impactful for the team and his absence now will actually mean a lot because not only will he be absent in the AFCON but he may aswell be absent from Leverkusen for awhile.

There's still a little time as the transfer windows are still open and Leverkusen can see how well they could utilize it to make up for the space that will be created by Boniface absence, although Leverkusen has always played like a team that has almost no dependency on any player but then he was a key player and definitely Bayern Munich may want to utilize this opportunity to reclaiming their dominance but I hope Leverkusen will be able to fight hard enough to create history in the bundesliga

Leverkusen's position worries me. Losing Boniface, their leading scorer, is devastating, especially because they are close to Bayern Munich. Only four points separate them, making it tight. This is where squad depth matters. Munich's depth is superior, which is helpful in a long season. What will they do without Boniface in their next game versus Augsburg? It tests their resilience and plan under Xabi Alonso.

I think Leverkusen's single-player dependency is hazardous. Its like they put all their eggs in one basket and are suffering the price. Like them, a title contender should have a stronger lineup that can fill in for injured starters. This could imply they're still not as good as Munich, which can manage setbacks better. However, football can be unexpected, so they may surprise us.
