Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[topbitcoin]

But even if Xabi Alonso finally leaves Leverkusen, I don't think so now because Leverkusen has just tasted the Bundesliga title with Xabi Alonso, it would be more fun if Xabi Alonso presented several trophies before he left, or if Leverkusen didn't want the coach to leave, at least Leverkusen did something to make an offer according to his abilities so he remains at Leverkusen for a longer period of time so that big clubs have no chance of getting him.

I think with the way Leverkusen and Xabi are now, it's precisely after he gets the Bundesliga trophy that he should leave Leverkusen.
The reason is simple because it is not certain that he will get it again next season and before the hype that he just lost then he must decide to leave Leverkusen.

Even though Xabi's performance has been outstanding this season and it is possible for him to bring the Bundesliga trophy this season after Bayern's Bundesliga trophy in the last 11 seasons.
After this season is over, it is not certain that he can repeat the glory that happened (if this season he becomes a champion and defeats the hegemony of Bayern). So indeed by looking at that, it is the right choice if he decides to leave after becoming a champion.

This choice is the same as Spalletti did last season when he managed to bring the Scudetto for Napoli in Serie A. Although sometimes this looks like a cowardly act, I think it is necessary to make sweet history not destroyed in the next season and Xabi's career will continue to be good in the Bundesliga.

If Xabi Alonso wants to become a competent coach in the future then he must first prove his success at Leverkusen, after he is successful in managing Leverkusen then think about how to move to another club. Being an English league coach is not easy and you can see how Jurgen Klopp worked hard to build Liverpool and he only achieved success after being there for several seasons. He was lucky enough not to get fired so he could build Liverpool slowly and look at several other coaches who were only able to last half or only one season in the English league.

I am more interested in him moving to Spain because there the competition is not much tougher than the Bundesliga so it will make it a little easier for him to bring the club to success. Real Madrid also has a close relationship with him and maybe in the future he will be part of the coach there and it depends on how he can prove himself next season if he stays at Leverkusen.

Many will say he's doing great at Leverkusen at the moment because it can only take a coach who knows his onions that can be able to keep his club at the standard they are in, imagine out of 26 games played, you have won 22, drawn four and not lost any yet and if the season ends like this, not only will they take the title,( which has never happened; only managing to be runners up five times) but they will be the only club to have played unbeaten during the campaign and I see that as a record any coach will want to bolster his confidence with.
I'd prefer he remain at Bayer Leverkusen so that if of the situation that he can't perform better next season, he might be forgiven since he was able to give them a league title that many coaches couldn't give, unlike when he leaves for places like the English league or even a club like Madrid; there will be much pressure on him to deliver.

The international break is almost over and we will soon be back in Bundesliga action starting this week. The opening match will pit Gladbach against Freiburg and I think it will be a fairly even match. If we look at the standings, the two are not much different and only differ by 5 points. Of course Freiburg will be quite the favorite even as the visiting team and Gladbach must be able to secure full points if they want to take points short of Freiburg.

However, if we look at the H2H of both, here the results are dominated by draws and we can see that in the last 4 meetings they always ended in a draw. Maybe the result will not be much different but I doubt that Gladbach will lose this match. I think that with such an uncertain result, I will not place a bet from the start of the match and would rather make sure beforehand as the match progresses. Do you have any predictions for this match later?

Based on the current odds available, Monchengladbach is actually the favorite with odds of @2.30, while Freiburg who will be playing away has odds of @3.00. Therefore, at least anyresult in this match can still happen if you think so. Because afterall, although Freiburg is in a better position than Monchengladbach in the current Bundesliga standings, but the fact is that Monchengladbach still has a better goal aggressiveness compared to Freiburg so far thisseason. So yes, eventhough Freiburg is in a better position, but it still does not make Freiburg a team that is projected to win easily in this match. After all, in the first meeting thisseason when Freiburg played at home and Monchengladbach played away, but the final score was 3-3. Therefore, I think Monchengladbach still has a chance to win in this homematch although indeed, betting on the option of both teams to make goals can also be a good option too.

I understand Xabi Alonso. Great tale. Like world-class football experts, everyone has an opinion. Me? Waiting for the official announcement. Despite their appeal, rumors are pointless. Bayern is a shambles, even for Alonso, so moving there is risky. Football is unpredictable, right? Maybe he can repair things.

Bayern and the treble - that's ambition. Every manager wants that ultimate flex. Talk is all there is until then. No need to guess the ending; we're just watching the show. Relax and observe what Xabi does, as you indicated. Stress not. We have the greatest seats in the house.

I believe Xabi will move to Liverpool rather than Bayern. Although both are still rumors and there has been no official announcement. I think Xabi will focus more on developing a Leverkusen squad that can adapt to Xabi's playing tactics rather than having to build the same tactics for Munich. It's not like Girona where they are a mediocre team that is surprisingly able to compete at the top of the standings. Leverkusen is a solid team and is able to beat Munich and dominate the Bundesliga. Of course all rumors can come true. But I won't believe that Xabi will choose Munich for next season.

It’s all unclear which team Alonso is signing for and i think even if he is asked all he would say is that he has a contract with Bayern Leverkusen for now so his focus is to lead them to success till the end of the season before thinking of signing for another team. I think we will have to wait till the end of the season to know Xabi Alonso’s decision on which team he wants to join, he his linked to so many big clubs that are having manager issues.

I think he should consider joining a bigger team because next season he will be face a bigger challenge to build another team because it will be very difficult to keep all the star players in the club when these bigger teams come after them. A lot of teams are interested in most of these players are and they all want to play for a bigger team and win trophies to their names. Teams like Leverkusen are meant to build players and sell them to bigger clubs to earn money for themselves and not compete with Bayern Munich, one season success shouldn’t get to their head.

[QueenVera]

there are a lot of people who doubt Xabi when he goes to a team from another league and that's very natural because we only doubt his experience, who currently doesn't have much experience, so there's no harm in doubting Xabi when he goes to Liverpool to serve as coach.
however, I have a small assessment that if Xabi will accept the offer from Liverpool, he will definitely be successful there, even though he will need at least 1 season to see the playing style of other teams and will improve the performance of the players after knowing the right strategy and this is what is being done. Xabi last season could not provide the best performance for his team but he succeeded this season.
even so, there is one very important question, namely will Xabi accept the offer from Liverpool?
from this question we will know that Xabi will remain at Leverkusen for several seasons to come.

Even though Leverkusen with Alonso have been impressive in all rounds and it's surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. Well it'll only be fair and an added advantage to the German club if their hit maker coach stays the next season with them to keep up with the positive differences he's trying impart to the club.

 Alonso was quested for by the counterpart German team, Munich and they've been able to have his preference. 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. Also considering the English side as an option, I believe he can make much impact there too. The league is definitely a competitive league and so he's got to put in extra efforts. Yes the club has the right quality of players too that suits his taste and maybe they can bring positivity to the atmosphere. Even though the league may seem foreign, a switch in environment serves as an advantage to his experience acquisition too.

 Liverpool on the other hand has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves and pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet. Klopp is been a savior to the team and so if Xabi is to join them, then he's got a task to do better than Klopo did.

Leipzig and Dortmund both teams will compete for last spots of Champion League zone and while Dortmund has hard match against Bayern Munich then Leipzig only will facing easy opponent Mainz and after eliminated by Real Madrid on Champion League Leipzig can more focus to Bundesliga only and it proven from Leipzig recent records that they can able to utilized the matches against Darmstadt and Koln because Leipzig can collect 6 points from those matches and it makes them can able to occupy 5th place with only 1 difference point below to Dortmund and assuming if Dortmund lost from Bayern Munich then Leipzig has good chances to taking over 4th place from Dortmund

Based on head to head statistics i can see Mainz has good records from Leipzig because in the last 3 meetings in all competitions Mainz was unbeatable but i think this season it's different because Mainz performing poorly and their statistics from away matches also very bad because from 12 away matches during this season Mainz was unable to gets the winning results with gets 6 draw and 6 loses so i am confident Leipzig can able to resumes their winning streak from this match and beat Mainz easily even the bookmakers provide low odds for Leipzig win @1.40

Leipzig is relatively doing much better and remaining fixtures are also clearly showing we will have RB Leipzig better side for having fourth spot and another season in Champions League with Borussia Dortmund is currently facing their historic downfall which is happening due to their sell of all star players without having any suitable player which can give them better performance in this season currently they are having weakest ever attack in top five teams and their defense is also not ideal for them with they are already concede 32 goals from their last 26 matches which are most for the top five teams.

They are also having match against Atlético Madrid which will bring more burden on their players with this most chances their performance will surely have impact, and they could be not able to secure their fourth spot in this season which could be also going to justify for their strategy which is not good.

It wouldn't be surprising if he went to Bayern Munich because I remember he has a history there as a football player. I don't think Xabi, who did wonders in the Bayer Leverkusen story, would go directly to Bayern so as not to disrespect them. Maybe it could be an option for Liverpool. Liverpool could be better with him in the Premier League.

[rahmad2nd]

If you ask me, I think Xabi Alonso should move Bayern Munich. He would gather more experience there, he is not experienced enough to become a manager of such a big club in the Premier League. The media is ruthless there, the fans are ruthless, and simple things can get very complicated. Bayern Munich or the Bundesliga is relatively calmer compared to the Premier League. He can grow more in Bayern Munich and after 3-4 more years after gathering more experience I think he can make a move to other big clubs such as Liverpool or Real Madrid if they need him.

I am not saying he is a bad coach, he is having an once in a lifetime extraordinary run with Bayer Leverkusen right now, but the lack of experience is still there making me think he is not fit for the Premier League yet. Bayern Munich on the other hand, although a big club as Liverpool, it is easier to manage it.

There are several football experts who say something similar to what you say, as well as my assumption. that doesn't mean Alonso doesn't have the potential to handle elite teams, especially outside the German League. however, in other leagues, big challenges will await him. therefore, so that he can strengthen his experience and performance. none other than that, Bayern Munich is an ideal elite team that might be an option if Xabi leaves Leverkusen. thus, he has a more competitive squad, and can also compete in the Champions League to measure how he will handle an elite team. moreover, a team that has stars, of course Xabi Alonso must be able to handle problems in the dressing room. the egos of big-name players will be a job for Alonso to tame. so, if in the end Xabi Alonso chooses to leave Leverkusen. Staying in the German League is the right choice to further develop his experience and performance, before actually coaching an elite team outside the German League.

As for Liverpool, it is not certain that Alonso will be as successful as managing his current team. in the Premier League the competition is more competitive with stronger competitors and some strong teams are like. City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, the big possibility that next summer will further strengthen their squad. By the way, Xabi Alonso did not issue any statement regarding his future. Now, he is only focused on keeping his team on the right track and breaking Bayern Munich's dominance. plus, performing optimally in the Europa League. Let's just follow how Alonso brings his team to the end of this season.

It wouldn't be surprising if he went to Bayern Munich because I remember he has a history there as a football player. I don't think Xabi, who did wonders in the Bayer Leverkusen story, would go directly to Bayern so as not to disrespect them. Maybe it could be an option for Liverpool. Liverpool could be better with him in the Premier League.

Yes, it's true, but actually it would be a shame if Leverkusen management didn't retain Xabi Alonso, especially if they managed to win the Bundesliga title this season or UEL would certainly be better off in the hunt for the UCL title next season too, Xabi Alonso must be able to choose the right path for the future. In the future too, I think it would be better for him not to go to Munich because of course it will be competing with the former club he is currently coaching Leverkusen, of course that is not very interesting to look at, I also think that if he really wants to move clubs it would be better to move to Liverpool in the EPL.

For me, if you want to gain new experience, Xabi Alonso should try to replace Klopp at Liverpool, at least to feel his ability to be a coach, especially since he will be competing with Guardiola and Arteta in the EPL title race next season, but personally I think it's too soon for him to move clubs because Leverkusen has been well built so it would be a shame if they left it because of course they will also get tickets to the UCL next season too, of course that will be a new challenge for Xabi Alonso to bring Leverkusen to compete in a high class, namely the UCL. a big European competition where not all teams or clubs can qualify there. 

[Weawant]

This match should not be difficult for Bayern Munich if you look at Dortmund's current performance, because in general Bayern Munich's strength is still better than Dortmund even though both are still in the UCL this season. But for this week's home match, the home team should be able to win, even though this will of course be very detrimental to Dortmund because Dortmund will lose their top four position if they are unable to win this week's match at home to Munich.

Even if it seems like Bayern has got a better form and strength I still don't think that Bayern is going to find it easy with Dortmund and so I don't want to believe Dortmund is to be seen like been weak or not strong enough to contend Bayern Munich because contrary they actually can contend In their strength as they have shown in the champions league and even in the bundesliga too this season.

I'm envisaging a possible draw at the end of this game as that seems to be like the best and safest option for both team, if they end in a draw Dortmund will retain their top four position and Bayern Munich aswell will also be in a good position aswell so they are not going to be also left behind so both teams will find it beneficial having to share points equally but away from that they will probably need someone to win. Bayern Munich if get lucky to win just like they have done in time past will be at advantage more but then they are definitely going to find it really difficult because it's definitely not going to be an easy game at all.

Dortmund this season hasn't been at their best but has got too many inconsistency in their performance and that's one major factor affecting their productivity in such a way that they are looking like they have got some form of few poor performance this season but then most definitely they are going to make it to the top four except they are prioritizing the champions league enough that it has to affect their bundesliga performance.

I think that with such an uncertain result, I will not place a bet from the start of the match and would rather make sure beforehand as the match progresses. Do you have any predictions for this match later?

Statistically, the two clubs that will meet are not much different, with Freiburg being slightly better than Monchengladbach, and even if you look at it in terms of goal productivity, Monchengladbach is actually better than Freiburg, while the two defenses are similar. I think that when two clubs that meet don't have a very significant difference, it opens up the possibility that the match will end in a draw.

Monchengladbach's advantage in this match is that they will play as the home team, it could put pressure on Freiburg who will play in front of home fans. I can't predict for sure who will win this match, but what is clear is that I think they will probably end the match without a winner.

Looking at their match records in the last 5 matches, they have a lot in common, only being able to win once. This is what makes me predict that it is very likely that they will share points in the opening match after this international break.

I don't think Xabi, who did wonders in the Bayer Leverkusen story, would go directly to Bayern so as not to disrespect them. Maybe it could be an option for Liverpool. Liverpool could be better with him in the Premier League.

This is business and there's nothing wrong if he finally decides to leave for Bayern Munich. They've both had a good time as he took Bayern Leverkusen from last season to go top of the Bundesliga League Competition.
T's the best decision he'd take for himself. Spending another year with Leverkusen is not something I see him doing, he should be smart enough to make swift moves.

Moving to Liverpool? That shouldn't be his first moves, I think he is making progress, he should follow a club that can back him up, he had a great future ahead of him. I trust that he will utilize it very well.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane has been reported back from his recovery process as he was not allowed to feature for England during the last two fixtures against Brazil and Belgium.

[jaberwock]

This season has been a beautiful season that Alonso and Bayern Leverkusen will probably find hard to forget if they are able to win the Bundesliga. Currently, Leverkusen is ten points ahead of Bayer Munich, which means it is very difficult for them to catch up. Apart from that, Alonso was also able to set several records which made him shine even more as the most successful young coach. I am pessimistic that Bayer Leverkusen will be able to keep him because several other giant teams such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool also really want his services.

I am sure that it will be remembered well for a while, but I doubt it would be remembered all that much if Bayern comes back and wins many more. Look at Lille, they are the only team that won between PSG domination of the league, they got their title, it was a shock to the whole world that PSG lost the title, and yet when you look at it, nobody really talks about it.

Leicester was a big one, it wasn't the same, there wasn't a single team that won in that case, it was many good clubs and Leicester just came from the lower league, they spent so little time at premier league before they won it. This is why I believe that it's quite important to see what kind of situation Leverkusen will be in the upcoming seasons and if they will be good or not.

Before the arrival of Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, the club was struggling to solve the goalscoring problems that's bedeviled them since their former striker Robert Lewandowski left the club and the prolificity of Harry Kane in front of goal this season simply tells how far he's gone to solve that goalscoring problem. The news of his injury I think will be a very big blow to the club and their quest to catch up with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen but that doesn't mean that Bayern Munich will totally not be able to survive without their most important player of the season.
Bayern Munich will host last season runners up Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga on Saturday and because of the fact that Harry Kane will not feature in that game, a lot of people are thinking it'll be difficult for Bayern Munich to win that game. Borussia Dortmund haven't been very consistent this season but they surely have been putting out surprising performances in games that they weren't considered as favorites before kickoff and that's why I think they're very capable of beating Bayern Munich even with the presence of Harry Kane in the team. That being said, I'm going to bank on a Bayern Munich win or draw when they face Borussia Dortmund this weekend

I would be more careful when it comes to describing Borussia Dortmund's performances as surprisingly good at times. The reason I mention this is that I have been following quite a couple of games they played and they did have a good result, but didn't play a good game. There is a huge difference and remember how they started into the year 2024. The results were good, but their game was not! What happened next? At some point the results more appropriately reflected their performances and as a consequences they lost points quite frequently. In my opinion they are still lucky that Leipzig is having their own problems. Otherwise Dortmund would have long been kicked off 4th position.

I don't think Xabi, who did wonders in the Bayer Leverkusen story, would go directly to Bayern so as not to disrespect them. Maybe it could be an option for Liverpool.

Ideally, Xabi Alonso must move to another league if he doesn't want to move to the rival of Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool already made an offer for him after Jurgen Klopp decided to leave Liverpool. However, it is not impossible if Xabi Alonso may move to Bayern Munich because he wants to success with his previous team in Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso was a plyer of Bayern Munich, it will be a proud to success with Bayern Munich as a coach. It is also quite usual that rising players or coaches to join Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. It already happened many times, specifically the players from Dortmund.

Well, lets' see what Xabi Alonso prefers for his career. Liverpool is good if he wants to have a challenge in the most competitive league in the world. But if he prefers to win another title, he will have a higher chance to win it with Bayern Munich.

With how Xabi Alonso is coaching Leverkusen, I can say he can coach big teams in the premier league because he has the experience to coach and is very talented. I am very sure that even if he goes to another club, he will still perform very well if he has the players in need in the team. I prefer Xabi Alonso to go to another league like Spain, the premier league, or league 1 to go and coach one big clubs there to continue making history because he is better as a coach at Leverkusen. He should go coach another team, but not in the Bundesliga, so that it is evident that he is a very excellent coach, because if he decides to leave Leverkusen and go to Bayern Munich, he would know Leverkusen's weak points, and whenever they meet, he will find it tough to defeat Bayern.  

I prefer Xabi Alonso to stay with Leverkusen next season, if he wins the Bundesliga league trophy, and next season they will be in the Champions League group stage, and I would like him to continue coaching Leverkusen in the next summer, since they are performing well in the league and Europe league, and we will see if they can compete with big clubs in the Champions League next season if Xavi Alonso decides to stay with the club.

At least, Xabi Alonso has a good history before finally retiring as a player in the past and yes, before Xabi Alonso retired while still a player that Xabi Alonso had a good history at Liverpool, Real Madrid and finally at Bayern Munich. So, if Xabi Alonso chooses one of these clubs, then of course it will still be a goodchoice. But indeed, because at this moment at least Xabi Alonso has more control over the Bundesliga because of his big success with Bayer Leverkusen then with that factor, it would certainly be more appropriate if Xabi Alonso to choose Bayern Munich first. Of course, in the future there is still a big chance for Xabi Alonso to return to Liverpool and Real Madrid but for this moment, I think it would be more appropriate for Xabi Alonso to choose Bayern Munich to continue his impressive results in the Bundesliga and maybe also in the Champions League next season.

[Rengga Jati]

Speculation about Alonso continues to circulate at the moment and will even peak when it is approaching the end of the season later, so far Leverkusen through his representatives have stated that they will try to keep Alonso in the team next season, and this indicates if there is indeed a desire from Alonso to leave for another team even though he has not confirmed it to the media,  I personally am no different than you expecting Alonso to stay at Leverkusen and continue to create records for Leverkusen next season, especially when will they play in the Champions League.

Actually, Xabi Alonso's contract at Leverkusen still runs until 2026, right? However, because of his brilliance in bringing Leverkusen this far, there are several rumors that he is being looked at by several big clubs in other leagues. And especially when Real Madrid almost lost Ancelotti, there were even serious discussions. However, it failed because Ancelotti still stayed at Real Madrid.

And this time, it seems, Leverkusen is quite confident that Alonso will stay at Leverkusen next season. Because the struggle is still quite long, especially next season, Alonso and the squad will face a match that will certainly be very challenging in the UCL. So, if Xabi leaves Leverkusen, I don't know what will happen to Leverkusen's future performance in the UCL. But it does look like he will stay at Leverkusne next season.

In fact, Leverkusen said this:

“He has a contract until 2026 and we are planning the next season with him at full speed. Nothing makes us think that he will not continue with us,” he told Marca.

The international break is almost over and we will soon be back in Bundesliga action starting this week. The opening match will pit Gladbach against Freiburg and I think it will be a fairly even match. If we look at the standings, the two are not much different and only differ by 5 points. Of course Freiburg will be quite the favorite even as the visiting team and Gladbach must be able to secure full points if they want to take points short of Freiburg.

However, if we look at the H2H of both, here the results are dominated by draws and we can see that in the last 4 meetings they always ended in a draw. Maybe the result will not be much different but I doubt that Gladbach will lose this match. I think that with such an uncertain result, I will not place a bet from the start of the match and would rather make sure beforehand as the match progresses. Do you have any predictions for this match later?

Based on the current odds available, Monchengladbach is actually the favorite with odds of @2.30, while Freiburg who will be playing away has odds of @3.00. Therefore, at least anyresult in this match can still happen if you think so. Because afterall, although Freiburg is in a better position than Monchengladbach in the current Bundesliga standings, but the fact is that Monchengladbach still has a better goal aggressiveness compared to Freiburg so far thisseason. So yes, eventhough Freiburg is in a better position, but it still does not make Freiburg a team that is projected to win easily in this match. After all, in the first meeting thisseason when Freiburg played at home and Monchengladbach played away, but the final score was 3-3. Therefore, I think Monchengladbach still has a chance to win in this homematch although indeed, betting on the option of both teams to make goals can also be a good option too.

Well, that's what I'm worried about and maybe Gladbach will be aggressive again in this match. It is possible that Gladbach will win with a landslide score because they often do it. Freiburg is certainly aware that the home team's superiority will thwart their plans to steal points and here Gladbach will try their best so that Freiburg cannot do that.

If we refer to the first meeting at the beginning of this season, of course we agree that there will be a lot of goals scored and it is possible that there could be more than 3 goals. So either option seems reasonable, just don't bet on under goals. What's interesting is that if Freiburg manages to score first, it will encourage Gladbach to immediately turn things around and I hope that moment will come.

[KTChampions]

I thought Kane's injury wasn't much serious but it seems like he is quite likely to miss at least 4 games and this number might get bigger depending on how fast he will reach match fitness. The Bundesliga title is already not going to Bayern Munich this time but Kane will miss the chance of breaking the goal record in the league because of this injury.  

Besides he might even miss both legs of their Champions League matchup against Arsenal. This would really be a big advantage for Arsenal honestly. Because Kane has been scoring like a goal machine you know. Without him we would feel the difference.

Today in the news they write that Kane has returned to training in the general group, and this means that he will be ready to play for the game with Dortmund. Apparently the doctors of Bayern FC quickly dealt with the damage he received (and it turned out to be not serious).
If he had dropped out for the Champions League games, it could have been a disaster for Bayern. Even with him, they were not the favorites in this pair, and without him they would have literally no trump card.
