Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[bitpotter]

Leverkusen is currently improving its performance and we cannot deny that their excellent consistency has still kept them in first place for quite a long period of time. However, we also admit that Leipzig is not an easy opponent to beat, and is indeed considered a top club in the Bundesliga, although recently, its performance has not been that optimal and has only experienced defeats and draws that could actually be optimized.

However, we will not know whether Leipzig's performance against Leverkusen will be the same as yesterday or whether their progress will actually improve. So, in this case, Leverkusen must be quite careful. both of them certainly dream of victory. However, the final result will really depend on how the coach makes tactics and the players compete on the field later. However, I personally think that Leverkusen will lead and win the match.

Bayer Leverkusen leading till this very moment and they're still unbeaten in league matches. Unbelievable to watch the incredible work triggered by the unity of Leverkusen players and the coach takes the higher portion because he's the main reason Leverkusen is where they're today. Xabi Alonso have really gone extra length and measures to watch the prosperity of the club. Before we would be seeing Bayern Munich ans Borrusia Dortmund but things do changes and this time we're watching Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title race, how time flies.

Time feels so fast that we don't realize that Leverkusen has become an extraordinary team this season and thanks to Xabi Alonso as coach Leverkusen can reach the level of competing for the Bundesliga title. With the current Leverkusen squad, Xabi Alonso has turned him into a very dangerous player and in almost all positions there is no weakness at all. But the time will come, including Leverkusen and maybe they will start to experience a decline in performance at the end of the season and if that happens, Bayern Munich will be the team that will benefit again like what they experienced last season when they managed to get rid of Dortmund.

Leverkusen and Bayern Munich just continue on their way strongly. Bayern Munich really need to win their absent game to follow their opponent more closely. I'm hoping to see Xabi Alonso maintaining this performance to become the champions at the end.  

These clubs were getting good result but leverkusen seems quite struggling to beat augburg. I know that if augsburg was a strong club, and this is the main problem. Bayern munich has been beating its opponent with huge margins which was showing the capability of bayern to win the competition.
Leverkusen needs to increase its performance. The attacking line has been so wasteful against augsburg and this is the fact. It's hard to remove the image if leverkusen was so struggling to beat augsburg in the last match.

Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well. 

Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible.

After the loses against Mönchengladbach Stuttgart will facing Bochum this weekend and on the paper this should be easy match because at the beginning of this season both teams has been met and at that time Stuttgart can win with big scores 5-0 and Stuttgart conditions doesn't really good recently because they only got 2 wins from 5 latest matches in Bundesliga moreover losing some players just like Guirassy makes them in the difficult situation so if Stuttgart failed to win again from this match then their position will be overtaked by Leipzig if this team win from Leverkusen

Bochum has interesting records at their home because from 8 home matches total they got 5 draw and only lost once so these records is proven Bochum at home was hard to defeated so although from recent performance and the position on league standings Stuttgart was more better but i think Bochum had a potention to make Stuttgart get in trouble especially just like i said before Stuttgart will playing without their main striker Guirassy so my prediction is Stuttgart will be very difficult to scores and i think big possibility this match will ended to draw

Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again. In general, Bochum is not a very strong opponent, but sometimes this team also performs well when facing quite strong opponents, especially being at home makes them get additional energy from the fans.

I think Stuttgart without Guirassy is just an ordinary team and that cannot be allowed because they have worked hard to reach this level and compete at the top with other strong teams. So what I hope is that they can quickly forget their previous defeat against Gladbach and step back to win against Bochum later. I turned away from your prediction and my prediction is not that complicated, winning by just one goal is already a blessing for Stuttgart with the reduced strength in their attack line.

The match will be easy for Stuttgart when competing against Bochum but if you fight Leipzig it seems it will be very difficult to get a victory even without Guirassy is big problem for Stuttgart because the player is one of the players who is very relying on no other player who can replace his position and If in the Bochum match, Stuttgart still gets defeat, I think the hope of surviving in position 3 is very thin.
Guirassy is indeed very influential on Stuttgart future, even though he will be competing against clubs that are far below him, but without Guirassy presence, Stuttgart will not be able to become a strong club and on the one hand, Guirassy absence will be a big disaster. If he doesn't appear immediately, maybe Stuttgart will have to experience successive defeats. because next you also have to face Leipzig, which is one of the strongest clubs at the moment and it looks like Stuttgart will experience consecutive defeats.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I believe that it's definitely got a great ring to it and I think they are still beating everyone they should, waiting for Bayern to be the first one to make a mistake. I know that it doesn't look that great at the time, but it does look like it is going to be quite great for them. I hope that they do not lose or get a draw before Bayern does, after Bayern does end up losing points somewhere, I would feel more comfortable with Leverkusen losing points somewhere as well, that would be fine, they won't lose position.

Leverkusen were still able to survive without losing or drawing in this match, even though they played a little more under pressure like usual and were lucky to score a goal in the extra minute, thereby avoiding a draw and keeping them at the top of the standings But I think Xabi Alonso should have an option when the game is much more difficult because without a goal will make them lose full points.

This concern is justified because if they experience a draw in the next match it will make Bayern Munich's position very profitable. Moreover, the difference in points is only one after Bayern Munich plays their 17th match and Xabi Alonso must be careful so that they are not displaced as the top of the standings.

Although Stuttgart's performances have been erratic in the last  few matches, this team is much stronger  than Bochum. Stuttgart is now third in the points table. Bochum on the other  hand have won only 3 matches this season. This team is in the 14th position of the points table. And Bochum's defense is very weak.

Without Serhou Guirassy, it will be a bit  difficult for Stuttgart to score. Serhou  Guirassy is an excellent player. He scored 17 goals and 1 assist in 14 matches. However, since Bochum's defense is not strong, the team has conceded 34 goals in 17 matches. So I will put Stuttgart ahead in this match. Stuttgart will be able to get 3 points in this match.

Honestly, I'm super hyped for this Leipzig vs Leverkusen match. From what I've seen, Leipzig is a beast at home, and Leverkusen, even without Boniface, isnt a team to underestimate. They managed to control the game against Augsburg, but Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena is a whole different challenge. I reckon Xabi Alonso's got his work cut out for him, especially considering Leipzig's thirst for revenge after their last defeat to Leverkusen. This clash has "epic" written all over it. Both teams are gunning for those crucial UCL spots, and with the kind of form they're in, its anyone's game. Cant wait to see how this plays out!

I think this match will definitely be very interesting because many people are really looking forward to this match seeing Leipzig play at home against a team that is struggling to stay at the top of the standings and challenge Munich in the title race, and I think Leipzig will be an obstacle for Bayer Leverkusen won full points in this match, however, Bayer Leverkusen will also try their best to continue their winning record so far, they don't want to experience their first defeat because Bayer Leverkusen is still trying not to lose so it will be increasingly difficult for Munich to occupy the top position if Bayer continues appear consistent.

[bangjoe]

But even so Bayern Leverkusen has a lot of injured players so his strength will change a little because the main players don't play, but I think Xabi Alonso is not that stupid even though he lost quite a lot of strength and rested some players, but if compared to his opponent this week against Leipzig with his up and down performance I think the possibility of winning is still open for Leverkusen against Leipzig in the match later, at least stealing one goal or a draw is an option we can take if we want to bet,

This season's competition belongs to Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, we will see if xabi alonso can stop Bayer Munich's winning streak this season.

Leverkusen will face one of the strong teams namely Leipzig at the weekend, Leipzig performance is not as consistent as Leverkusen but the problem is that currently Leverkusen is also in poor condition considering that many of their players are absent, the decline in Leverkusen performance was actually seen when they faced augsburg a few days ago, Even though they won the match, but it is clear that losing striker (Victor Boniface) h as made Leverkusen attack line a bit blunt at the moment, I think  now is a crucial time for Xabi to be able to maintain his team playing performance and if Xabi can maximize the available reserve players, perhaps the club stability will remain awake, currently I actually see that some of Leverkusen reserve players are not able to perform optimally when their main players are injured and this is a tough task  for Xabi, all this time Dortmund has tried but continues to fail to break Bayer Munich's dominance in the league, I personally really hope that we will find a new champion in the Bundesliga so that we can get rid of boredom after 11 seasons of seeing Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga.

Yes indeed losing Victor Boniface on the front lines makes the Bayern Leverkusen attack line blunt, and maybe it will be a little more random because some are also absent, but that little makes me believe that Leipzig is indeed inconsistent in each of their performances, even though I also admit that Leipzig is one of the clubs in the bunde league and has a fairly strong competitiveness.


Yes we are always presented with Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich every season in the Bundes League, especially today the threat from Bayern Munich is Harry Kane who is a goal machine for Bayern Munich.

In the last match in the first half of the season, in fact Leipzig only got a draw against Werder Bremen and also, in the match at the beginning of the second half of the season or in Leipzig last match, in fact Leipzig lost at home against Eintracht Frankfurt . So ya, with results like that, I think Leipzig in this moment has a decline in performance but indeed, Leipzig has a good record so far this season especially for home matches. But ya, because in the previous match Leipzig was unable to score in the home match then ya, maybe I will doubt Leipzig in this moment.

Therefore, it looks like Bayer Leverkusen will still have a chance to get three points in this match. Although for example Leipzig managed to play well in this match but yes, I'm sure Leipzig won't be able to score in this match either. Therefore, I think the match between Leipzig v Bayer Leverkusen is likely to end with a low score and the result could be a draw or Bayer Leverkusen to win.

The second half of the season begins at Friday with matchday 18 and Mainz and Union Berlin will play against each other. Both teams did not win their last match. Now both have the opportunity to gain important points in the relegation battle. A 6-point game. Union Berlin have the opportunity to keep a direct opponent at distance with a win.

The defence from Mainz has improved since the new coach joined Mainz. They have noc lost a game since then, but have only won one.

Robin Gosens will be able to play again for Union Berlin. This will allow Bjelica to play his 4-2-3-1 system.

I expect a draw. 1:1

How Union Berlin has gone from one of the most consistent teams in the German Bundesliga last season to become the 15 ranked team in the current league standings have been surprising to me and I think to many fans of the club as well. Playing away at Mainz this weekend will be a difficult match for Union Berlin because they've not been doing well in the league this season. Mainz who sit in the 16th position of the league table are currently three points behind their German Bundesliga opponents of the weekend Union Berlin and knows how important a win will be for them in their quest to avoid relegation at the end of the season. So I expect the home side to play in their full strength and  win the game.

Union Berlin was playing well for a few years and they established themselves as a team that is hard to beat, but this crash couldn't be anticipated by anyone. The reasons for that could be manyfold, but maybe it was too much for them to share their resources among the Bundesliga, the DFB Pokal and the Champions League. I can only imagine what an adventure it was for them to play against clubs like Real Madrid, but I think for a club with low depth in the squad it is quite a burden mentally and physically at the same time. This could be a reason why this challenge was a few levels too high for them.

I dont agree with you that the game will end draw. This is because the both team are eager to win the match to see who might come out of the bottom. Surely it wont be an easy game since there will be difficulties to penetrate each others 18 yards box. Although Union berlin had more chances of winning the game. I am saying this because i watch their last game and noticed they had a good performance even if they were unable to win.

If Union berlin can calm down and play the game with less aggressiveness but with technicality they will ein Mainz. So the best prediction in the game by my analysis is a Union berlin to win or draw. Which is 2X in most sports betting platforms. If you think my predictions are not worth then give me more valid points to prove me wrong.

we don't know the real reason for what happened in the Union Berlin team. Still, for those who follow and enjoy the Bundesliga, they know that Union Berlin is a pretty strong team. the reasons you say can also be reasonable.
Union Berlin must at least try to survive in the Bundesliga next season. and they can focus on reorganizing their players and mentality for the new season.
this season their focus will probably only be to survive in the Bundesliga. there is nothing they can chase anymore which puts pressure on their game. they have to adapt and try to play better. they need to get out of the pressure.

[Godday]

Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again. In general, Bochum is not a very strong opponent, but sometimes this team also performs well when facing quite strong opponents, especially being at home makes them get additional energy from the fans.

I see that Stuttgart is very dependent on Guirassy who determines the final result of the match. I admit he is a great striker in the Bundesliga and it is normal for such a great striker to greatly influence the final result of the match. It's just that without Guirassy I think Stuttgart would really struggle. They don't have a striker of the same level. The next match is against Vfl Bochum and we know they are not a strong team. But Stuttgart's last match was Borussia Mönchengladbach and they were only the 11th ranked team in the standings. I think if Stuttgart play with this kind of performance then they will have a hard time winning. I bet they will draw that game.

[KTChampions]

Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well. 

Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible.

Plus they have 6 wins in the Europa League + 3 wins in the German Cup - incredible statistics! I wonder if there are those who bet against them using the Martingale system? I think everyone knows this scheme: when a bet is made against the favorite (or an outsider, there is no difference) and if it does not work, then on the next game a bet is made again against this team and the bet amount is increased so that if the bet wins, you will be in the black for bet 1 and bet 2 in total. If someone bet against Bayer, he was already ruined.

[Lafu]

Union Berlin must at least try to survive in the Bundesliga next season. and they can focus on reorganizing their players and mentality for the new season.
this season their focus will probably only be to survive in the Bundesliga. there is nothing they can chase anymore which puts pressure on their game. they have to adapt and try to play better. they need to get out of the pressure.

There is now that they soon get out of the pressure they have right now.
The next big and important game for Union Berlin will be come already on this Friday against Mainz , in Mainz.
Maybe they have luck on this game as Mainz also struggle hard this season and for Union Berlin to survive  they have to win that.
Normaly i would say that they win but what is normal this season with all that crazy results we got in the past.

[QueenVera]

Leverkusen is currently improving its performance and we cannot deny that their excellent consistency has still kept them in first place for quite a long period of time. However, we also admit that Leipzig is not an easy opponent to beat, and is indeed considered a top club in the Bundesliga, although recently, its performance has not been that optimal and has only experienced defeats and draws that could actually be optimized.

However, we will not know whether Leipzig's performance against Leverkusen will be the same as yesterday or whether
Leverkusen is currently still quite consistent and their performance has not decreased so I think they might be able to beat Leipzig even though they have to fight harder because the opponent is quite tough, Leipzig is not an easy club to beat because as you said, Leipzig is an elite club. Bundesliga from season to season and Leipzig's performance is also not too bad so Leverkusen must be careful in this match to achieve the expected results.

I think Leipzig's performance is a little different because this will be held at Leipzig headquarters. Of course Leipzig is at an advantage and home strength makes Leipzig much stronger, but Leverkusen is also strong in the away game so Leipzig cannot underestimate their opponent in this match and the two teams will fight fierce in winning, I am very curious about Leverkusen performance without its mainstay striker and against Leipzig, will Xabi Alonso be able to maintain his club consistency in this match because Bayern Munich is really waiting for Leverkusen to slip up.

Losing key players and still performing is one big thing that big clubs do and Liepzig has proven to be one big club. Yes, they lost most of her players but still maintain standard as a club and even perform better.They made important additions that have really helped in this team’s stability. Though they’ll be facing Real Madrid in the Round of 16 and they don’t stand a chance. The fact they’ll probably be getting back to the UCL next season is a win for them.Against Leverkusen I think Liepzig will have to put in enough efforts in this match and there'll be a slight chance of survival in the game.
 
 Their visitors aren't a small side, they're bent of chasing the title to the last and so it's expected that the intensity will be high being that Leipzig are the visitors and won't want to embrace a loss in the game either. For me, I still think Leipzig no matter their playing condition are still a valuable club in the German league and European contests generally. They've proven their worth in most of their games this season and it's an addition to their quality.

[Pulsar77]

Union Berlin are a really big disappointment this season after having a really solid season previously. They finished the previous season in top 4 but now they are trying not to relegate. I liken their progress to Sevilla in the La Liga. It is really like the same. Sevilla are also on the decline for years as you know.

But I believe Union Berlin can save themselves from their current position. Because their results started to improve as of the manager change they made not long ago. At least they aren't losing many times in a row anymore.

[Jody.Drummer]

Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again.

But Stuttgart's last match was Borussia Mönchengladbach and they were only the 11th ranked team in the standings. I think if Stuttgart play with this kind of performance then they will have a hard time winning. I bet they will draw that game.

They should have beaten Bochum, as they were superior in every way to their opponents. They have just suffered a defeat to Monchengladbach who are also below them. Luckily at the same time Leipzoig also suffered a defeat, keeping their position safe at least for now. They must be aware of being able to get up faster and coincidentally their opponent is very useful to restore the victory that was lost in the previous week. Bochum themselves will anticipate that and I think they will try to force a draw. Indeed, victory is the main thing, but they will also definitely measure the strength of the opponent first, and I think a draw is a realistic result for Bochum.

I believe that it's definitely got a great ring to it and I think they are still beating everyone they should, waiting for Bayern to be the first one to make a mistake. I know that it doesn't look that great at the time, but it does look like it is going to be quite great for them. I hope that they do not lose or get a draw before Bayern does, after Bayern does end up losing points somewhere, I would feel more comfortable with Leverkusen losing points somewhere as well, that would be fine, they won't lose position.

Leverkusen were still able to survive without losing or drawing in this match, even though they played a little more under pressure like usual and were lucky to score a goal in the extra minute, thereby avoiding a draw and keeping them at the top of the standings But I think Xabi Alonso should have an option when the game is much more difficult because without a goal will make them lose full points.

This concern is justified because if they experience a draw in the next match it will make Bayern Munich's position very profitable. Moreover, the difference in points is only one after Bayern Munich plays their 17th match and Xabi Alonso must be careful so that they are not displaced as the top of the standings.

I support you about Xabi having to have lots of options because to solve problems in scoring difficulties like yesterday against Augsburg which prioritized defense so Leverkusen had a very difficult time scoring and it was very smart that Palacios got the chance to score which gave Leverkusen the win and secured its position.
the difference in points is very close and there must be other efforts such as continuing to maintain the defense and strengthening the attack line which can strengthen its position at the top of the standings and on the one hand, Bayern Munich will not allow the bundesliga title to be held by Leverkusen so Xabi must be very careful in several matches. and next Leverkusen will face slightly equal opponents like Leipzig and away games always provide difficulties for Leverkusen.

I thought that Bayern Munich would eventually overtake Leverkusen, but after seeing the performance of all the Leverkusen players, I became more confident that Xabi team could compete to defend the title until the end of the season.
