Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Luzin]

Local media in my country reported that Bayern Munich were advised to return Nagelsmann. This was suggested by Lothar Matthaeus, the legend of Bayern and the German national team. Can that happen? Given the current conditions and history, it seems that it would be a gamble of shame if they called Nagelsmann. But indeed Nagelsmann is not bad, leaving Munich is also considered the desire of the management not because of bad achievements. With the current condition of the player, it seems that Nagelsmann's option is quite good but maybe the management will not do that because of embarrassment.

Xabi and which team he will go to is just a pure speculation at the moment, I do not believe that they are going to be all that much aware of his decision more than us. Newspapers will just write whatever they want to write and won't care about anything. Bayern is in troubled position right now, sort of because of Xabi as well, so him wanting to go to Bayern would not make sense, but even if that's true, even Xabi doesn't know who he will pick yet as long as it is not official.

We should wait and see, until the very very official deal being public to everyone, I will not believe anyone at all. It should be important to realize that we are going to end up with some stuff that are not easy to handle, so it is not going to be easy.

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.

This year is going great for Xabi Alonso and he is playing a dream season. How many weeks have they been playing in the Bundesliga and they have not suffered any defeat? This is a great success. This success attracted attention. The biggest problem for big teams these days is the lack of a good coach. Many teams are currently competing for Xabi, but I think Leverkusen, as the city where the dream started, will continue to keep Xabi in the team.

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.

[wmaurik]

I sees this game more like a banana peel to Bayern Munich if they feel too complacent of how it has really been easy in putting dortmund away, mostly at the alliance arena, but if they don't feel complacent and they decide to take this game very serious, them I am quite positive that they can win this game very well, considering the fact that their performance of recent have really improved, so just as favourite as they are now, it wouldn't be ok at all to their fan if they can't win this game, so it's a must win game for Bayern Munich, to build more confidence ahead of their  upcoming encounter between them and arsenal.

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.

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich should be able to beat Dortmund at Allianz Arena at the weekend. My opinion is clear about this game. Yeah maybe Bayern Munich don't have much hope left for the league title despite the existence of a mathematical chance. They are still trying their best recently as you can understand from their latest results.

However there is another point here. Kane is injured and not expected until like mid April. In his absence I'm curious how much the squad will be affected. Dortmund are also trying to hold onto top four. They are fighting Leipzig for that. But I still think Bayern Munich will win. Dortmund are really bad in away games against them. The last time they won was like in 2014.

The last time they won was like in 2014. 

The game will of course be full of prestige bets between the two who are big teams in the Bundesliga, and at this time the performance of the two is not much different, so the game will be an opportunity for Dortmund to avenge their defeat so far from Munich, in recent seasons Dortmund has not been able to win from Munich both at home and away,  you a little mistaken, the last time Dortmund won over Munich was in 2019 in the Supercup, while for the Bundesliga Dormunt managed to beat Munich in 2018 with a score of 3-2 at that time.

Kane's injury is certainly a loss for Munich, but I think it will not make Munich weaken, because after all they still have several strikers who have the potential to Endanger Dortmund's defense in that the match, to be honest, if talking about the chance of staying in the top 4, of course it will be difficult for Dortmund, because if they lose to Munich in the match then Leipzig will Automatically take over the 4th place, because leipzig  in other match will face Mainz which is a team Weak in the current bundesliga.

[tusandii]

Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be considered favorites against Dortmund. Munich's past record against Dortmund is very good. Munich have won their last two matches against Dortmund by 4-0 and 4-2 respectively. And of the last 5 head-to-head matches, Munich have won four and drawn one match. So it is expected that Munich will win the next match as well. Moreover, the Dortmund team is not in a good rhythm now.

I also don't doubt Bayern Munich for this match where they will ensure the three points even though it won't affect their position in the standings because they are too far behind Bayer Leverkusen.
Borussia Dortmund is not a team that will give Bayern Munich difficulties later, because the statistics say so, what's more Bayern Munich is in very good condition, after the surprising defeat to Bochum Bayern has not been defeated and is even the team that scores a lot of goals, and considering that Dortmund is also defense is not so good that it is very possible that Bayern will score several goals or the score in their last two meetings will be repeated again in this meeting, although Dortmund certainly does not want to be replaced by Leipzig who are ready to move up to fourth rank because facing Mainz it is very possible to get three points.

I sees this game more like a banana peel to Bayern Munich if they feel too complacent of how it has really been easy in putting dortmund away, mostly at the alliance arena, but if they don't feel complacent and they decide to take this game very serious, them I am quite positive that they can win this game very well, considering the fact that their performance of recent have really improved, so just as favourite as they are now, it wouldn't be ok at all to their fan if they can't win this game, so it's a must win game for Bayern Munich, to build more confidence ahead of their  upcoming encounter between them and arsenal.

Borussia Dortmund is not a team that can be underestimated by Munich, Munich also knows that Dortmund's performance is not like other mid-table or lower-table teams because Borussia Dortmund is an elite team in the Bundesliga as well as Munich's strong rival for many years, so Munich facing Dortmund will be very serious and focused and trying not to lose control which causes Munich to suffer defeat, Munich's chances of winning are very big because they will play at the Allianz Arena so I think Munich will win this match even though they have to put quite a lot of pressure on the visiting team.

Yes, I admit that Dortmund cannot be underestimated, but everyone here knows the history of the two clubs' matches when they met on the field and everyone here also really understands that no matter how good Dortmund's performance, they certainly won't be able to beat Bayern Munich and in the history of Dortmund's journey only able to get a draw from the previous meeting.
I am very sure that there will be many people here who have almost the same opinion and they will all certainly not hesitate to bet on Bayern Munich's victory.
The arrival of Harry Kane can make a big difference to Bayern Munich's performance and I am sure that at least these two clubs will score 3 more in the upcoming matches.

[bering]

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

[rendravolt]

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?

You are right. Dortmund are not a team that can resist against Bayern Munich. A few days ago Bayern Munich players were not in good form. But in the last few matches we have seen excellent performances from the players of Munich. Munich's players are in good form now.

The Bayern Munich team has performed well in the last two matches. Munich won by 81 against Mainz and Munich won by 5-2 against Darmstadt. Although Dortmund is not such a weak team, Munich's players will also try to dominate this match. And since the match is Munich's home match, Munich's win is more likely. Betting on Bayern Munich to win, hopefully Munich will not disappoint us.

Honestly I can't assume too early about Dortmund not being able to beat Bayern Munich, although yes I admit that the last two matches Bayern Munich performed very impressively against Mainz and Darmstadt but let's see that these two teams are different teams when compared to Dortmund and we can also see that Dortmund are ranked 4th in the standings which means that the victories achieved by Bayern Munich in their last two matches I think are quite reasonable because there is a significant difference in performance between Bayern Munich and Mainz and Darmstadt or that means Bayern Munich has a performance far above these two teams.

So in my opinion it is still possible that Dortmund can fight back and provide significant tension and threat to Bayern Munich in the next match, but on the other hand yes Bayern Munich has the advantage that will play at home in the match against Dortmund where their chances of victory may be greater, but I can't be sure whether Bayern Munich will really win or disappoint again.

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.

All of this is still just speculation, there has been no official announcement as to where Xabi Alonso will continue his career, whether he will stay at Leverkusen, maybe move to Bayern Munich or Liverpool. Staying at Leverkusen would be better for him, that's my view, because he would have an easier time managing a squad he built with his own hands.

Xabi Alonso's success this season with Leverkusen has received a positive response from other clubs to sign him, he must make a decision for his own good in the future. The decision of where to continue his career is in his hands, I hope he doesn't make a hasty decision that will result in him being disrespected like what happened to Tuchel and Jose Mourinho due to losing too many points in the domestic league.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I quite agree on this. The premier league is the most competitive league and where some faults can be easily over looked in other leagues, the English premier league takes it's seriously and sport pundit was like for all the 9 years Jurgen Klopp coached Liverpool, it is only one premier league title he can boast of and I guess if Xabi were to take the job, many fans will be expecting a title in his first year considering his brilliant performance at Bayer Leverkusen. You are right, it's better to remain at Bar Leverkusen and do wonders with them than move over to the English side were he'd be watched like a hawk, many expecting his downfall more than anything. Take the case of Graham Potter for instance, he excelled so coaching Brighton and many began seeing him as the Messiah to deliver Chelsea, but alas he was a big flop when he came.

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.

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.

But indeed we do not know where next Alonso will go, but I think Bayern Munich will be a strong candidate to be the next club that Alonso will coach, and if indeed next season Alonso leaves Leverkusen, I am quite sure if Leverkusen will fall back in the league as before, it is not impossible if Alonso's mainstay players in Leverkusen will follow him to move to Munich or other clubs in Europe,  With all the achievements Alonso has been able to achieve at Leverkusen, it will be difficult for the leverkusen to keep him because indeed the lucrative offers of elite teams such as Munich and Liverpool will only come once in a lifetime.

There is no need to make assumptions here, but you need to see what Alonso says about this and what the mood is in the teams. It is strange that with all this movement, Bayer has chosen a rather passive role, and is not trying to keep him in his team.

The Munich team are actively negotiating both with Alonso’s agent and with him personally, so it seems to me that everything here looks pretty obvious, although there is no signed contract yet, anything can happen. And if you believe what you can hear from Alonso, he is more inclined to move to Bayern. If he achieves good results with Bayern, then doors will also be open for him in any team, so he has nothing to lose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[dezoel]

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.
