Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Oluwa-btc]

Did you really believe that Bayern would have a chance to overtake Leverkusen for the top the league table if they win in their remaining game? I don't think that will happen. Did you really think Leverkusen would lose any of their next games and Bayern Munich wins the ones they still have left? I think Leverkusen will play better than Bayern Munich if they are playing at their best to win, and maintain their current position to win the title this season. The eight points are important because without them, they wouldn't have to lead the league. However, since Bayern Munich has missed their chances this season. In my opinion, nothing will be right again, it's already late.

In their previous game against Bochum, Bayern Munich had a chance to reduce the point differential with Leverkusen, but the result did not turn out as we had anticipated. Tuchel is to blame for all of this at Bayern Munich; they have lost to a weak team that we weren't expecting them to lost to, which has cost them many chances to stay in the title race with Leverkusen.

Hopefully the consistency goes on well with them with the Europa League Competition and also the German Bundesliga League Competition.
Bayern Leverkusen have played both legs with Bayern Munich and right now they just have to focus on winning the remaining games ahead. Considered the next three games they'd play? They're most likely to be three low clubs in Bundesliga League Competition. And if you go take a peep at them fixtures of Bayern Munich, they're tougher than one would even imagine..... I be wondering if they can win the next three.

Bayern Leverkusen would not slack believe me, the much games to be played in between the Europa League Competition and the Champions League should not just affect them too bad.

I would have agreed with you that eight points is nothing if Bayern Munich were consistent in winning their matches to close the gap between them and Bayern Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga table. Bayern Munich made a mistake by allowing Bayern Leverkusen to beat them when they met a few weeks ago. It was the only way that Bayern Munich could have reduced the chance of Bayern Leverkusen winning the Bundesliga title this season.

In fact, from the start I really doubted that Leverkusen could successfully occupy the top position in the Bundesliga this season, but in fact they are the ones who deserve it so far, not Bayern or Dortmund. Becoming an unbeatable team like Leverkusen is not easy, even Bayern themselves have lost several times.
In a few hours Leverkusen will face Mainz, on paper the chance of Leverkusen winning is 77% while Mainz is only 8%. Mainz are currently fighting to get out of the relegation zone, they will certainly try hard to win this match but Leverkusen will not be upset about losing, especially since the match will take place at the BayArena stadium.

Bayer Leverkusen have won four of their last five games and this goes to show they are in form, currently they are sitting at the top spot with 58 points and passing Bayern Munich with 8, who have 50 points. Some will say they have enough gap between them but I feel if they want to eliminate any form of competition, they dont need to take any game lightly, starting with this one because the more they win, more pressure will be added on Bayern Munich and they will be desperate to get a win and we know that sometimes, that forces a team to make mistakes to either lose or draw a game.
 Although Bayer Leverkusen are the clear favorites of this game, upsets can happen that is why they should not underestimate any team no matter how small. This game will be packed with goals but should be an easy win for Bayer Leverkusen.

So far Leverkusen's performance has been consistent when playing against any team. The desire to always win in every match can be seen from the match statistics. However, if the result is a draw, in my opinion it is not a mistake. Currently, Leverkusen has the greatest chance of becoming champions at the end of the season. In terms of points calculations and match calculations, it is impossible for Munich to overtake them. Unless Leverkusen suffers consecutive defeats, but that doesn't make any sense at all. For the remainder of this season, they will definitely maintain the worst result, namely a draw.

For me, what we are discussing now is just assumptions and speculation. because, there are still 12 remaining matches that will be played by all the teams competing in this League. that doesn't mean that Bayern Munich doesn't have a chance, even though the fact is that Leverkusen is 8 points ahead of the Bundesliga champions. the thing is, in football anything can happen. It is not impossible if Leverkusen slips up in some of their matches. after all, in football anything can happen and cannot be predicted with certainty. For now, we all know that Leverkusen is in a very positive trend phase. in fact, in 22 matches, Xabi Alonso's team did not once experience defeat, as well as in several other competitions. but what is certain is that the remaining 12 matches are not a short time. as the competition nears the end, the challenges will become more serious and ups and downs may occur. soon, Leverkusen will host Mainz. on paper, Xabi Alonso's team will win this match, but we'll see how this match turns out.

In the Bayern camp, it is doubtful that Thomas Tuchel's team will retain their title this season. Naturally, Bayern Munich is 8 points behind and they have underperformed in the last 3 matches. however, as Thucel said, he has agreed to end managing Bayern Munich until the end of this season. but he remained determined in his statement that he would do his best for Bayern Munich. well, let's just enjoy what the Bundesliga presents every week until in the end one team has the right to claim the trophy for winning this competition.

I actually think that there is still a chance for Bayern Munich. Because nobody knows for sure what is going to happen. Maybe Leverkusen might actually face some injury problems which could be a very bad thing. As we all know that they do not have as much depth as Bayern Munich in the squad, they might fall off in terms of performance. But that is probably the worst case scenario for them. Other than that even if they lose one or two matches, I don't think it is going to be a big problem for them.

Bayern Munich will have to be very determined to win every match and also hope for the best. At this moment they can only pray that Leverkusen losses some matches one after another.

[hahay]

About the thing and rumor that maybe Zidane can be the Coach next season in Bayern Munich that would be for sure a very big and nice thing.
As i am a big Fan from Zidane and would love to see him in the German League as a Coach , but i really dont know if that will be happen.
For sure he can be improve the things in Munich and maybe help them to get back on track next season.

Zidane would certainly be a big name for Bayern and the Bundesliga. But if Zidane sticks to his own rule/statement he made a few years ago that he doesn't work in a country whose language he doesn't speak, then the current discussion is probably just speculation. As long as Alonso, Flick or even Hoeness are possible, Zidane will only be second choice for Bayern.

I think this is just a rumor and probably won't happen and therefore, I think Bayern Munich will just try to appoint one of their former coaches. But indeed, there is still no certainty regarding Xabi Alonso because after all, Xabi Alonso is very strongly linked with Liverpool compared to Bayern Munich . It's interesting, of course, which club Xabi Alonso will choose for next season because yes, at this moment or season Xabi Alonso is really only focused on Bayer Leverkusen and therefore, Xabi Alonso is still not open to negotiations with any club. Bayer Leverkusen's great success really made Bayern Munich uneasy and full of pressure but ya, the reality is that Bayern Munich is still terminating Tuchel contract at the end of this season, and I think it's quite unfortunate.

I also sighted Bayer Levekusen winning today’s game. Because their opponent is not in that form, seeing this is like a full assurance that Bayer Levekusen will definitely win the game. Although it is true that we should not underestimate a team no matter the situation of the team, which is true, if we can check back the last five games that Bayer Levekusen played against Mainz, you will see that Mainz had 2 wins in the last 5 matches they played against Bayer Levekusen and Mainz had 3 losses, while Bayer Levekusen won 3 of the games and lost 2, so when you give a complete concentration on this, you will understand that Mainz has less chance of winning the game than Bayer Levekusen has, so I gave them the assurance to win the game.

Although, the point difference is not even comparable, Bayer Levekusen is very far from Mainz in the table, so to me, it will be very hard for them to go on a draw because there is a performance difference.

We can see in stark contrast the difference in performance between the two teams at the moment, Leverkusen is still untouched by a single defeat, and currently Xabi's fleet is at the top of the points table, while Mainz is at the bottom of the standings. On paper, Leverkusen will easily secure full points, because they also act as hosts, an additional 3 points will confirm their ambition to be the best in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz need a miracle to beat Leverkusen, in fact I don't think the match will end in a draw. Betting on Leverkusen winning will be very safe, their winning percentage is very high. The lineup has been confirmed, and we will see how Xabi and his fleet maintain their record until the 23rd week.

On the other hand, Bayern will face Leipzig, which is actually stronger than Bochum. If Bayern lose points again, Leverkusen will be in a very comfortable position in leading the Bundesliga standings in the remaining matches ahead.

[fuguebtc]

Actually, I do not expect anything other than a 3-point for Leverkusen.
First of all, Leverkusen cannot afford to lose any match right now because that will give Bayern Munich a lifeline.
Secondly, Leverkusen cannot afford to lose easy matches like this, right?

Bayer.04.Leverkusen	-----Draw-----	1.FSV Mainz 05
1.32	6	9.40

You know this is literally the first game of the table going up against a team in the relegation zone.
If somehow Mainz can even get 1 point from this match I am going to be pretty impressed.
Or it will have to be a pretty trash performance from Leverkusen.

If you want to place 1x2 bet, don't miss this opportunity .

You know this is literally the first game of the table going up against a team in the relegation zone.
If somehow Mainz can even get 1 point from this match I am going to be pretty impressed.
Or it will have to be a pretty trash performance from Leverkusen.

For me, the result of the match Leverkusen vs Mainz is very clear and no doubt. Leverkusen will play at home, they will have an extra motivation to win the match. There is no way that Leverkusen will miss 3 points because they will play all out. They will secure 3 points to keep the gap with Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso must order all players to get the advantage playing at home. Moreover, they are playing with a weak team, Mainz is in the relegation zone. It will be a shame if Leverkusen will miss 3 points when they are playing against a weak team at home. Xabi Alonso won't accept a lose or a draw in this match, he must only target for winning the match. Leverkusen is very obvious that they have a better quality of the squad, they are also in a good performance during this season. They have no reason to get a bad result in this match.

Well, I predict that Leverkusen will score 2 goals at least. TBH, I hope Leverkusen will score more than 2 goals. I'll bet a win for Bayer Leverkusen.

So the odds on Leverkusen are very small, i wouldnt bet on that. Two goals have been scored in the first 10 minutes, so if that continues, the game will be very unentertaining. Leverkusen should still win, i think so, but if they only play bottom of the table, they still have a 9-point lead over Bayern Munich. So no matter how they play today, they can still lose a game and still have a very good chance of winning the title. Lets take another look in 60 minutes and then it wont be 1:1.

[tyz]

Well, I predict that Leverkusen will score 2 goals at least. TBH, I hope Leverkusen will score more than 2 goals. I'll bet a win for Bayer Leverkusen.  

I don't bet that often, but when I do, I like to have a little thrill and bet on an outcome that is potentially possible, but still rather unlikely to happen. In short, I bet on the exact result of 3 - 0 for Leverkusen The odds are 8.9. Let's see if it works 

Regardless of that, I assume that Leverkusen will win the game. They can then extend their lead to 11 points and Bayern have to play Leipzig tomorrow, who are certainly no easy opponent either and nobody knows how the team will react after the Tuchel news. We could therefore already see a preliminary decision in the championship today.

[topbitcoin]

Because that is indeed an option considering their failure after i decade of  their very strong dominance ( if Leverkusen win ) then this will definitely lead to criticism including Tuchel because in the end it doesnot matter who is at fault and how bad the players Bayern  have we will definitely know which will be Tuchel permanent target because he is deemed unable to stop Bayern dominance.
The current situation is clearly a difficult thing for Bayern because even though i agree that they still have a chance in the end we must realize that sometime  thing like this can't be forced because apart from Bayern they have to makes several breakthrough  to make their performance better  they also have to hope Leverkusen get off the path of consistency they currently have.

btw this week it looks like Bayern will still face a test where they have to meet Leipzig and reflecting on the previous meeting  they were not able to play well when facing Leipzig but that is an advantage for Leverkusen because apart from them who will face a  slightly easier match against Mainz, They also certainly hope that Bayern will get into trouble again and not get point  in the next match.

And that won't happen to Leverkusen, who are certainly worthy enough to lock up the Bundesliga trophy this season. Bayern Munich could try again next season after it was confirmed that Xabi Alonso will leave the club at the end of this season and will coach Liverpool. If that happens, Leverkusen will automatically no longer be able to dominate. Leverkusen's success was purely due to Xabi Alonso effective tactics and being able to utilize the abilities of each player so that there was balance in each line.

On the other hand Tuchel fate is hanging in the balance and we just have to see who is the candidate who is able to restore Bayern Munich's existence, but we need to remember that Bayern Munich officials have too high demands for a coach and not many can last long.

Leverkusen's chances are indeed very large for now because after all with the current 8-point advantage it will be very difficult for Bayern if they want to catch Leverkusen at this time if Leverkusen's performance still remains the same as now with Xabi's unbeatable record.
But on the other hand, there is still a chance if in the end there is a situation that requires Leverkusen to experience a decline in performance and this possibility can also actually still happen if you look at the current conditions.
Indeed, at this time if we look at the performance of Leverkusen's probability of experiencing inconsistency is very small but that does not mean it will not happen because all possibilities in the remaining matches at this time are still very possible.
As for the future of Xabi, it seems that there is a big chance of leaving and Leverkusen have also said that they will not try to hold Xabi if he wants to leave because after all, Leverkusen must realize that it is a little difficult if you try to keep Xabi because his performance could have decreased so Leverkusen still frees Xabi if he wants to leave or train Leverkusen next season.

The demands of Bayern officials to the coach are reasonable because after all, even though the Champions League is difficult to get but they have dominated the Bundesliga for a very long time so surely the demands to continue to maintain the hegemony they have built are very much there so it is quite natural that they make quite high demands for coaches who work at Bayern.

[QueenVera]

Isn't it clear that Munich will fire Tuchel at the end of the season?
which means that when all of Bayern matches are finished, including the match in the Champions League then Bayern Munich and tuchel will officially separate, at this time Tuchel is reportedly ready to return to the English league, but reportedly not a one English league club has been confirmed to make Tuchel as coach, if we can see that Bayern Munich is not in good condition and the club management of course doesn't want to delay the dismissal so that in the end it will only make the club worse off in the future.
The problem now is that Alons will probably be confused about which club he will coach next if he leaves Leverkusen next season, As we know, Alonso has unique conditions in his contract with Leverkusen, namely: Alonso has the right to leave or terminate his contract unilaterally if Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Madrid want him as coach, now we can confirm that the two giant teams will lose their coaches next season, is Liverpool and Munich, so I'm pretty sure Alonso will be confused about club he might choice in between that the two clubs and if you look at his current achievements at Leverkusen, of course we can't rule out the possibility that Liverpool and Bayern Munich will compete to get Alonso as their new coach next season.  

Munich's performance has been lingering far behind their usual tempo, which is so odd for them. They've got the skill set they need, the beginning was lit and top notch for them even though Leverkusen kept giving them hard time to fight through games but they strived to stay in shape but recently, it's been a different story so far as both the coach and players haven't been able to prove their worthiness. Tuchel's presence in the team ought to make a significant impact to their endeavors all time and also Kane's performance needed to add a big advantage to them but so far, their recent games have turned out opposite of their normal and expected performance rate.

 It'll only mean that their journey this season to a top spot is threatened and no one can say exactly if they'll be able to scale through it. They've not been encouraging and it's quite appaling that they remain depreciated week after week. Sadly though, Tuchel's stay in the club is seemingly threatened, his days are actually numbered and it's understandable that the management would want a switch for the coach position as they expected him to be better considering how much effort his put in recent times and even with flaws, they need not to keep overlooking it as it's unending. Well it'll only task them to find a proper hand that'll replace Tuchel's as so far they need not to take their chances and cause this to continue unto the next season. Alonso is being quested for and if they're able to secure him, well, hopefully he'll be able to take them out of the state they are. His records are speaking for him and so it's understandable that they see him as a proper prospect for the job ahead in the club.

Bayer Leverkusen are set to count more points, so what do you think?

On paper this is like an easy win for Bayer Leverkusen but a club fighting relegation cannot be underestimated at this particular time for Bayer Leverkusen, they should approach the game with a mentality of this is a final, and not just the matches but almost every matches left. Bayern Munich might be points off at the moment but seriously should Leverkusen slip up they might have a chance to go up again.

The game is currently a 1- all draw as Mainz re equalizes. This match should be won Leverkusen because they are not only fighting for the title alone at this point in time but looking at the possibility of winning the league undefeated which I also will prefer them to win. All in all I see them winning this match but should be a tricky one though

[Docnaster]

Well, I predict that Leverkusen will score 2 goals at least. TBH, I hope Leverkusen will score more than 2 goals. I'll bet a win for Bayer Leverkusen.  

I don't bet that often, but when I do, I like to have a little thrill and bet on an outcome that is potentially possible, but still rather unlikely to happen. In short, I bet on the exact result of 3 - 0 for Leverkusen The odds are 8.9. Let's see if it works

They can then extend their lead to 11 points and Bayern have to play Leipzig tomorrow, who are certainly no easy opponent either and nobody knows how the team will react after the Tuchel news. We could therefore already see a preliminary decision in the championship today.

Bayer Leverkusen have been the strongest and most consistent German Bundesliga team since the start of the season and playing at home against Mainz tonight, I expect them to pick all three points from the game and maintain their unbeaten record in the league since the start of the season. Xabi Alonso is trying his possible best to make sure his team wins the league title at the end of the season to end Bayern Munich's dominance in the league and that's why he's always putting in his best effort just to make sure he achieves his dream.

Bayer Leverkusen's game against Mainz in the 27th minute of the first ahd the current scoreline is still 1:1. Granit Xhaka scored in the third minute of the game to put the hosts ahead before Kohr scored four minutes later to help his Mainz team draw level with Leverkusen. Despite the current scoreline, I'm very optimistic that the hosts are still gonna win the game tonight

[3meek]

Leverkusen were able to score a quick goal, but Mainz were able to equalise quickly... A good first half when both teams scored goals... But still we can say that Leverkusen is overrated now, when a club from the relegation zone can score away goals... Leverkusen will probably win, but the first half is intriguing...

Didn't expect that the results of the two teams scoring each other's goals would be this fast and bettors who chose this option would definitely be able to sleep soundly without waiting for the match results to finish. I see Mainz being reliable enough to keep up with Leverkusen in this first half and maybe that could be a positive thing against the team at the top of the standings at the moment. Mainz still need points to escape the relegation zone and if they are able to share points with Leverkusen then the results will be very good. But it's still quite far away if we talk about it because the match is still long and I think Leverkusen will still be able to do more in the second half.

But still we can say that Leverkusen is overrated now, when a club from the relegation zone can score away goals... Leverkusen will probably win, but the first half is intriguing...

It turns out that so far, Mainz has been able to keep up with Leverkusen's attacks. Even though Leverkusen seemed to really dominate the match, on the other hand, Mainz was quite strict in guarding its defensive goal. The first half is over and there have been no additional goals. If we look at how the match went, Leverkusen should have won, no doubt. However, in the second half, Xabi Alonso must make a changing tactic that is more pressing, must they must be able to refocus their attacks and be more accurate in their kicks at their targets.

Anyway, Xhaka's performance in this match so far has been quite impressive. Apart from scoring a stunning goal in the early minutes, he was also able to provide quite accurate passes. He was able to score a goal from long distance, with a celebration that was quite unique and worried Xabi because it seemed like being injured 

Xhaka celebration
