Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[rendravolt]

It's been a long time since I saw Union Berlin win at home and even though the match only ended with a small score of 1-0 over Darmstadt

Even they scored just 1 Goal , it was important for Union Berlin to win this game against Darmstadt.
The problem is that they need more wins in future and coming games the next weeks.

Yes, this is more of a concern that Union Berlin must have because it is not easy to experience a drastic decline in performance and without any clear problems they started the season with endless bad results. Luckily, in this half season they have been able to improve it a little and of course this victory alone is not enough to make them safe. They must get victory after victory and they must not be careless just because they can breathe a little easier.

The matches will clearly be more difficult and there are no easy matches for Union Berlin to go through in the remainder of this season because they have lost too many games since the start of the season. The need to increase intensive training to strengthen players' physicality and vision must be carried out by their coaches at this time. Despite all that, they can start to be better next season and this season they just need to stay in the Bundesliga and don't get relegated.

The draw they got yesterday against Gladbach was certainly very surprising, the additional one point is of course not a result that Alonso can be proud of because the gap in points will continue to be reduced by Bayern Munich. Yes, but I still think that Leverkusen will continue to hunt for another win in the next match before they really have to fight with their strong rival FC Hollywood. Xabi Alonso certainly understands his squad very well and he knows what he has to do to keep his team on the winning track. I also see that Alonso doesn't feel any pressure at all compared to Tuchel who always gets sharp attention from fans, this on the other hand will also really interfere with the coach's performance. However, what is clear is that the battle between the Bayern duo will be very interesting until the end of the season.

I hope Leverkusen can maintain its performance. Yesterday's draw was indeed unsatisfactory. but they still didn't lose any points, so they were still pretty safe.
I hope the battle between the two will continue until the end of the season. Munich probably won't let it happen because they will try hard to knock off Leverkusen who are looking very impressive.
In a few weeks, they will compete. and it will be an interesting match when rivals meet to fight for the top of the standings.

Their chances are high now to get away from relegation zone as they have one game less than the teams in relegation zone and are 5 points ahead.This can be considered a season savior for them as with their really poor performance of the season relegation would not be distant.Nothing is finished however as there are still many weeks to play and Union Berlin needs to do their best and score more points than the teams in relegation zone as the only solution to escape relegation zone.

For me, if Union Berlin is not able to score more, it would be better to consistently maintain a draw, but if it is able to beat the opponent easily, it would be better to score more.
I say this assumption because in this way Union Berlin is able to add points and immediately avoid the relegation zone and for me Union Berlin opportunity is still very big as long as it has good changes from now on.

Union Berlin does not need many goals to stay away from the relegation zone because yes, which Union Berlin needs is consistent to get points for wins and draws. If Union Berlin can consistently get points in each match whether it's with a win or a draw, then these results will certainly make Union Berlin safe to stay in the Bundesliga . After all, with a gap of 5 points at this time is clearly still a safe position for Union Berlin because yes, after all Union Berlin is not in the relegation zone. But indeed, because Union Berlin is in the lower zone, then it should be Union Berlin to improve its position at least to the middle position of the standings.

There is a piece of very bad news for Bayern Munich and their fans about their coach, while they're racing hard into Budesligga for the title with Leverkusen and every single point is important for them, it seems Tuch said he is interested in leaving Bundesliga for La Liga and he somehow said that he wants to work for Barcelona. Maybe I'm not right about Tuchel in Barcelona but it was shocking enough when we saw Tuchel even thinking about leaving Bayern Munich.

The idea that Tuchel wants to leave Bayern Munich for Barcelona creates more questions than answers. Since Barcelona is in chaos on and off the pitch, why would he consider it? Barcelona's troubles are well known, but managing a club with such a rich history is appealing. Financial problems, erratic performance.a With Kane leading the way, Tuchel should strive on finishing strong in Munich given his past. UCL and domestic titles may solidify his Bayern legacy.

However, we are wondering about his move at a crucial Bundesliga period. Barcelona is charming, but Bayern has the potential to become legendary. Tuchel's ability to revitalize Barcelona is as important as his willingness to end a project he's only started. He might ruin or strengthen his career with this gamble. Fans await change but hope for stability

[reagansimms]

Bayern Leverkusen had a draw in their last game with Bayern Munich having a narrow win against Augsburg, it would reduce the point difference. Bayern Munich are really catching up and it would be a disaster if the league leaders (Bayern Leverkusen) drop out in this title race because many football lovers have tipped them (Bayern Leverkusen) to win the league this season.
Is just two points that's separating both teams and I feel the pressure is going to be on Leverkusen, they're now going to be in a hurry to first get a goal to win any of their games and their style of play might change. I just hope Alonso will be calm and also tell the to play as if they have no one coming to over take them in the league table and if they do so I think they're certain of 3pts in every game, the absence of Victor Boniface is also affecting them.

A two point lead over Bayern Munich is very unsafe for Bayer Leverkusen because the two teams will meet in Week 21 on 11 February. The only problem Bayer Leverkusen faced when facing Borussia Monchengladbach was their lack of clinical skills in completing opportunities, of course this problem is a weakness that must be resolved before they face Bayern Munich at BayArena.

Bayern Munich are very enthusiastic after they are only two points behind Leverkusen, the burning enthusiasm will certainly give a different feel when these two teams face each other. Tuchel is very enthusiastic about his team's current performance, while Xabi Alonso must find solutions to increase the use of opportunities.
The coach's ingenuity will be tested in this big match, whoever wins this match will be the leader of the standings.

Bayern Leverkusen losses opportunity to make many points remaining from Bayern Munich after holding draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach last match, four consecutives winning in Bundesliga stopped by Gladbach and make current standings remaining two points from Bayern Munich. Actually is not comfortable position for Bayern Leverkusen if want secure top position and keep defend the opportunity winning domestic league tittle in this season although Bayern Leverkusen still unbeaten all matches competition.

Two points remaining is not a big number and this is not safe for Leverkusen because it is feared that when the two meet, Bayern Munich will steal three points in the match so that Leverkusen returns to second place in the standings. Xabi Alonso must remain consistent for the next few matches and he must no longer play draws if he doesn't want Bayern Munich to take over the standings.

Bayern Leverkusen have forget with bad result for this week after losing three points and must focus upcoming match how to secure three points against relegation team Darmstadt, I don't see any difficult opponent team upcoming match and get three points will make Leverkusen keep manager and defend their first standing position from Bayern Leverkusen will face Gladbach next match.

The match results are still sufficient Not too bad because they were still able to draw even though they had to lose two points and that was much better compared to Bayern Munich who lost to a team that was not too strong. I think the next match will be much easier and Leverkusen must really get full points if they don't want to give Bayern Munich the chance to emerge as champions and Leverkusen must play consistently until the end of the season.

They were safe not loosing points but then they needed to be a bit above were they are now because that isn't a safe zone at all, any slightest opportunity Munich gets now they will be ahead of Leverkusen, settling for a draw was a weak Result which gave only but little to their race to winning the league this season.

Leverkusen will sure try to be at their best now knowing that they are now very close to been overtaken by Munich and all it takes is just winning a single match and Munich will be ahead of them, it's looking like Munich is already fighting so hard to redeem it's days of dominance in the bundesliga again because currently it takes them to win a match and Leverkusen to either loose or draw a match and they will be up there at the top of the table again ant trying to maintain their dominance this time.

Draw against a team like Monchengladbach was an unlucky incident for the team. Leverkusen were dominant in every expects and created multiple attempts to the post but missed the by a little margin or prevented by the keeper or the defender. Still Leverkusen is the only team undefeated in this league.
The deteriorated form of Bayren Munich is an advantage for Leverkusen. With 15 more games left for both of the team, it's still early to call out a winner and the ultimate decision could be met when these team meet again, It was a draw the last time they met at Allianz Arena and now they are meeting again on February 10, this time at BayArena.

it was indeed a bad result for Leverkusen. Moreover, in the previous meeting, they won 0-3 at home to Gladbach. but yesterday's match was a goalless draw.
but Gladbach's performance has been inconsistent. they also beat Stuffgart who are currently also at the top of the Bundesliga standings. surprising result but that's football. sometimes we have to admit what we didn't expect. I lost my bet on that match.

Bayer Leverkusen have undoubtedly been the best team in the German Bundesliga since the start of the season and still looks very much strong to still finish the season as the winners if the German Bundesliga title even when their top scorer this season Victor Boniface have been out injured.

However we must not forget that their rivals Bayern Munich is also the strongest team in the German league in terms of quality of players and now that the top two sides in the German Bundesliga standings are separated by just two points, I think Xabi Alonso's men have got something to worry about on that one. In the last 11 seasons in the German league, Bayern Munich have dominated the league and considering that they have a lethal striker like Harry Kane who's never won a trophy as player, Bayern Munich are still trying to make sure they finish the season with the league title. So for Leverkusen to lay their hands in the German Bundesliga trophy at the end of the season, they really need to be at their best till the end of the season

Dortmund vs VfL Bochum In the match of these two teams, Dortmund team scored 1 goal in the first 3 minutes of the game. After that, they did not score any more goals before halftime. However, Dortmund team showed a great performance after halftime. VfL Bochum team scored one goal in this match. VfL Bochum  The performance of the team players was bad from the beginning to the end of the game due to which VfL Bochum team could not win this match. Dortmund team won the match by scoring 3 goals in this match.

[arimamib]

it was indeed a bad result for Leverkusen. Moreover, in the previous meeting, they won 0-3 at home to Gladbach. but yesterday's match was a goalless draw.
but Gladbach's performance has been inconsistent. they also beat Stuffgart who are currently also at the top of the Bundesliga standings. surprising result but that's football. sometimes we have to admit what we didn't expect. I lost my bet on that match.

It was unlucky episode for Leverkusen with their dominance in various aspects of the game. Despite creating multiple attempts and coming close to scoring, they were unable to secure a win. But it's still noteworthy that Leverkusen remains the only undefeated team in the league. The recent dip in Bayern's form could indeed be seen as an advantage for Leverkusen in the title race.

With 15 more games left for both teams, it's too early to predict a clear winner, and the face to face clash between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich on February 10 will give something to favor the winner on the the title race. The fact that their last encounter ended in a draw at Allianz Arena suggests a competitive balance, and the upcoming match at BayArena provides another opportunity for either team to make a significant statement in the title race. As the season progresses, the form, injuries, and performances of both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will play a crucial role in determining the eventual champion.

Only a difference of 2 points means that the Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich match will be decisive in reaching the top of the standings.
Leverkusen's draw was quite surprising because previously they were very favored because in terms of quality Leverkusen was much better than Mönchengladbach, but in this match it appeared that Mönchengladbach had a fairly solid defense so this made things very difficult for Leverkusen.

Indeed, basically the presence of Leverkusen at the top of the standings this season makes the Bundesliga even more interesting because having Leverkusen to challenge Bayern will make the Bundesliga even more competitive.

It's fascinating to see how the Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich match holds so much significance with just a 2-point difference in the standings. Leverkusen's recent draw was unexpected, given their previous advantage in quality over Mönchengladbach. However, Mönchengladbach's solid defense posed a formidable challenge. The fact that Leverkusen is competing at the top adds an exciting dimension to the Bundesliga, injecting more competitiveness into the league. Looking forward to the clash and how it shapes the season ahead,

Being held to a draw in the first half didn't make Dortmund lose their way and they managed to win the match against Bochum with a landslide score of 3-1. As hosts, Dortmund certainly cannot embarrass their fans and therefore they must win with an additional 3 points. If we look at the statistics, Dortmund completely controlled the game with 63% ball possession and 6 shots on target. The result of the shots on target resulted in a hat trick for Fullkrug and he was the best player in this match.

Bochum was only lucky when they got one goal from Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck's suicide and the rest Bochum was unable to do anything. These additional 3 points are very special for Dortmund because they can return to the top 4 and Leipzig's previous defeat made them move freely to this position.

Despite being held to a draw in the first half, Dortmund showcased resilience and secured an impressive 3-1 victory against Bochum, ensuring they didn't disappoint their fans as hosts. The statistics speak volumes with Dortmund dominating possession at 63% and landing 6 shots on target. Fullkrug's hat trick certainly stole the show, making him the standout player. Bochum's only goal came from a fortunate moment, thanks to Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck's unfortunate situation. These crucial 3 points not only secure Dortmund's return to the top 4 but also come at an opportune moment, especially with Leipzig's recent defeat opening up a path for them in the standings,

Although Bayer Leverkusen is still unbeaten until now but yes, because Bayer Leverkusen gets a draw quite often too, these results make Bayer Leverkusen position at the top of the Bundesliga standings not entirely safe . Because anyway, currently Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich also only have a difference of 2 points, 4 draws for Bayer Leverkusen while Bayern Munich has 2 draws and 2 losses but the fact is that their point gap is still very close . Therefore, although it was previously assumed that Bayern Munich lost the chance to take over the top position, but in reality Bayern Munich still has a good chance to be able to return to the top of the standings and get the Bundesliga trophy again this season, the competition is clearly very tight.

Xabi and Leverkusen must remember that last season, Munich usurped Dortmund's position to bring the Bundesliga trophy by only scoring more goals and conceding less than Dortmund. That could also happen this season with Leverkusen, they are losing in goal productivity but they are not conceding more goals than Munich.
Leverkusen still has to pay attention to all of this so they don't have regrets at the end of the season. Dortmund is unlikely to catch up this season. and there is only rivalry between the two teams, Munich and Leverkusen. Hopefully, Leverkusen can continue to maintain the points difference.

[temple]

They should be one of the best teams at home because especially their fans are numerous and more hyped than most of the other fans, but Borussia Dortmund doesn't have a quality team. They are far worse than in some of the last seasons. No superstars in their team at all. I know it is impossible to replace a player like Haaland and there was nothing they could do about his decision to leave the club since he had a release clause, but usually Borussia Dortmund had very strong strikers. Now that's not the case anymore. Fullkrug scored 3 goals, which were 2 penalties and 1 ordinary goal. But they are a Champions League team and in my opinion Fullkrug is not Champions League level.

Dortmund are looking worse because they want to be worse, this is what I can say at this point because there have been times when this same team have had good players who could have helped them get that which they really want to get and possibly win the German bundesliga buy then they preferred to make more money with trading their players.

This season earlier dortmund did appeared really strong a team buy it's really baffling how they are now worse than they have been both last season and in recent times aswell. Dortmund used to have good players and a very formidable team thst can help them achieve all that they want to achieve at any time buy then I think since they are good with it, ithey can still continue in that light if they want to, they can still continue to groom some new talents and this time they should be ready to keep them and make sure ro achieve a lot with them before letting them go.

This proves that you don't understand the difference between a club that is a publicly listed company like Borussia Dortmund and other clubs that have no responsibility towards their shareholders. Dortmund has never decided to be bad and they have never decided to sell their best players because they wanted to make a lot of cash. It was quite the opposite. They did not sell Lewandowski, but instead kept him until the contract ran out and then he went to Bayern for free. But Dortmund has to do sustainable business and if they don't see a way out of a situation due to contract duration or clauses that allow the player to go elsewhere for a fixed fee, then they have no other choice but to play by those rules. This has nothing to do with Dortmund wanting to be bad as you put it.

[marcous]

I hope Leverkusen can maintain its performance. Yesterday's draw was indeed unsatisfactory. but they still didn't lose any points, so they were still pretty safe.
I hope the battle between the two will continue until the end of the season. Munich probably won't let it happen because they will try hard to knock off Leverkusen who are looking very impressive.
In a few weeks, they will compete. and it will be an interesting match when rivals meet to fight for the top of the standings.

In the Bundesliga, the peak of Leverkusen challenge is of course when they have to face Bayern again, when they can get through without defeat then it could be said that Xabi squad can secure around 70% of their chances of winning the trophy. I'm pretty sure Leverkusen will continue to be consistent in the future, they have shown everyone up to now, although there is no guarantee that they will be able to create an unbeaten record throughout the season.

Several other rulers such as Dortmund also cannot be ignored, they also have the power to become a stumbling block for any team in the future. We have seen other surprises too, that a team like Bayern can also lose points unexpectedly, it does not rule out the possibility that Leverkusen could also experience this. The rivalry that has been created between Leverkusen and Bayern for now will be difficult for other contestants to shake, I also think it will continue until the end of the season.

I certainly hope that Leverkusen can break Bayern dominance, so that the Bundesliga has a new champion, not dominated by just one team every season.

[Altryist]

The match results are still sufficient Not too bad because they were still able to draw even though they had to lose two points and that was much better compared to Bayern Munich who lost to a team that was not too strong. I think the next match will be much easier and Leverkusen must really get full points if they don't want to give Bayern Munich the chance to emerge as champions and Leverkusen must play consistently until the end of the season.

But this draw allowed Bayern to reduce the gap in this round, and now the teams are separated by only two points. In the next round, Bayer will play with Darmstadt, this match should not be difficult for them and most likely they will get 3 points, but Bayern will have to play with Borussia Mönchengladbach, and here everything is not so clear, although Bayern must win this match on the eve of the game with Bayer. But if Bayern manages to defeat Bayer, then this will be a turning point, otherwise they will have to wait again when Bayer to make a mistake, and at the same time not lose points themselves.

I think Leverkusen will win against Darmstad. The Mönchengladbach draw was a big shock for Leverkusen. They have to compensate for this 2-point loss. Bayern's opponent is harder and they will try not to lose points. The real battle will be in Leverkusen in 2 weeks. Bayer Leverkusen, which has home field advantage, will definitely need to win this match.

In general, it is impossible for Leverkusen to lose against Darmstadt and they are certainly targeting 3 more points in this away match. Leverkusen may have played less than optimally against Mönchengladbach and in the end they had to pay off with a win in the next match. If not, then it will be easier for Leverkusen to be chased by Bayern Munich and that will thwart Leverkusen's chances of winning the title.
