Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Marvell1]

i was surprised at both bayerns and dortmunds position but it looks like that of Dortmund is worst, there chances of winning the Europa is not going to be the same with Bundesliga

Bayern Munich position isn't surprising. The runner up position is the right position for them. But for Dortmund, they are just in 5th place, they should have a better position. However, in UCL Bayern Munich and Dortmund have a different condition. These teams reach the semi-final round and have the chance to go to the final round.

Bayern Munich has already lost a lot of things. Remember us saying that the Bundesliga title is like the default title of Bayern Munich?
I said that and somehow they have not been able to win the title this season.

Well, actually not somehow, the reason is Buyer has performed really well this season. And this performance from them was definitely unexpected. So now that they have already lost the default title that they win every season.

will they be able to win that title that they are actually looking for?
And I am talking about the Champions League title. imagine what might have happened if they actually had Leverkusen playing in the Champions League as well. yesterday they knocked out Arsenal, Kimmich's header was really incredible.

Anyway looks like another season for Harry Kane without any trophies.

Anyway looks like another season for Harry Kane without any trophies.

Moving from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich to win the title didn't go smoothly in his first season not as a Tottenham player, many said this was a curse but I think this is just because he decided to move at the wrong time, and actually there is still one chance for Harry Kane's to lift the trophy this season is in the Champions League, but this is very difficult because his opponent is Real Madrid who managed to get rid of defending champions Manchester City, moreover, Bayern Munich is not very convincing.

Borussia Dortmund played against Bayer Leverkusen this week, Dortmund are in very good condition because they are able to advance to the semifinals of the Champions League, and they need a win to maintain their chances of being in the top four before the next match against Leipzig, but beating Bayer is not easy even though this opponent is have confirmed the title but Bayer will of course continue to try to play well.

It's not a curse but it's just that after having a reliable scorer, Tuchel became too ambitious to try to get a title in the UCL but Tuchel mistake was being too focused on other competitions and not trying to see how things had changed drastically in the Bundesliga and lost the title this season.
logically, we can see how Kane is currently still a very reliable scorer, scoring 32 scores and if this is a curse, there is no way Kane can score that much in one season while this season has not yet ended.
the only mistake I see is that Tuchel has not improved Bayern Munich defense line which is currently continuing to weaken in every match in the Bundesliga and still continues to concede goals even against teams that are much weaker.
and in this UCL match I also doubt Bayern Munich because they can get rid of Arsenal with a very narrow score considering that the opponent they will face is the toughest opponent in the UCL like Real Madrid.

[Velvet78]

Of course I don't also believe in such thing like curse but it is metaphorically like a curse on Kane.    He has been giving his 100% no matter what team he plays for but still he isn't able to win a single title. I don't doubt his performance next seasons anyway. He would continue to do his best and go for achievements like top scorer, player of the year and so on. 

Besides I don't expect Bayern Munich to continue the same next season either. It depends on who they will sign after Tuchel leaves though. If they make the right choice for the character of the team we would see them continuing from where they left. But it would still be really challenging to win the Bundesliga title while Leverkusen are this great.

Borussia Dortmund played against Bayer Leverkusen this week, Dortmund are in very good condition because they are able to advance to the semifinals of the Champions League, and they need a win to maintain their chances of being in the top four before the next match against Leipzig, but beating Bayer is not easy even though this opponent is have confirmed the title but Bayer will of course continue to try to play well.

Currently Bayern Leverkusen without any pressure yet for upcoming match against Dortmund in Bundesliga after winning the domestic league tittle last week, seems Xabi Alonso will make many rotation players give them more minutes playing and giving rest with few days left after facing West Ham United tonight in Europe League. Dortmund on confidence performance after success qualifying to champion league semifinal, although their position in domestic league outside from champion league spot standings but get goals difference only with Leipzig after both teams have the same points.
Its important match for winning by Dortmund because next week will face RB Leipzig and become most important match to get top fourth place or Leipzig will secure the last ticket for participating in champion, its seems little funny Dortmund performance this season qualifying to semifinal round but can't participants for next season if finish outside from top fourth standings.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I didn't expect that Leverkusen still had a chance to win two more trophies. Europa League Cup and DFB-Pokal. This means that the chance of winning the treble winner is not impossible for Xabi this season. Their Europa League will play West Ham leg 2 and are already 2 goals ahead in the quarter-finals. Their DFB-Pokal final will be on May 26 against Kaiserslautern. If they want to win 3 championship titles, it is Xavi's perfect record. After that, maybe many Leverkusen players will get offers from big clubs.

Leverkusen did actually surprised everyone because they came from no were, and they are doing great at the table, and  maintaining  79 point on the table is not easy and from the look of things he as more chances to winning it, i was surprised at both bayerns and dortmunds position but it looks like that of Dortmund is worst, there chances of winning the Europa is not going to be the same with Bundesliga, but if you look at that of DFB-Pokal they have a better chance there also because there score records are good, and any of the leagues it is actually possible to win but it all depends on the club.

Leverkusen is still on the way to break a new record. It has already won bundesliga and the club is now targeting to win europa league and DFB pokal. Treble winners are very possible to happen with leverkusen. As long as there will be no a lot of changes in the current compositions and i strongly believe leverkusen will win treble winners this season.
Florian, frimpong and all of other players are still on fire after they have won bundesliga this season. This is the first time after hundreds thousands of years never won bundesliga. Xavi was doing his magic there and i do appreciate what he was doing on leverkusen.

Im not thinking the performance from this club will decline. Winning europa league will be so damn good for leverkusen considering the fact that if it's almost going to the semi final. The next match is not that hard for leverkusen as long as it can perform like the first leg.
Leverkusen is leading the upcoming game with two goals aggregates which is also helping club to go to the semi final soon. The game is gonna happen away for leverkusen and this is a chance for leverkusen to break a new record.

Currently Bayern Leverkusen without any pressure yet for upcoming match against Dortmund in Bundesliga after winning the domestic league tittle last week, seems Xabi Alonso will make many rotation players give them more minutes playing and giving rest with few days left after facing West Ham United tonight in Europe League. Dortmund on confidence performance after success qualifying to champion league semifinal, although their position in domestic league outside from champion league spot standings but get goals difference only with Leipzig after both teams have the same points.

In my opinion, it is natural that Dortmund is able to reach the semifinals of the Chmampion League because they have quality and the problem is that they are slumping in the Bundesliga because they are unable to maintain consistency.

Bayern Leverkusen have confirmed themselves as Bundesliga champions this season, of course their focus is no longer that strong, let alone having to shift their focus to the Europa League competition, so in my opinion it is very likely that Xabi will rotate a lot of players so that his core players can be at their best. when facing an important match, and I think that's quite normal for a coach to do.

And on the other hand, Dortmund is competing fiercely to finish in the top 4, so the match against Bayern Leverkusen will be quite fierce, especially since Dortmund will be playing at home with great motivation, so in my opinion it is very likely that Dortmund will be able to break Bayern Leverkusen's dominance unbeaten this season.

Leverkusen do surprise everybody this season. They are performance is really going well. I don’t even know they still have more trophies they have high chance of getting than Bundesliga they just won, I thought is only Bundesliga that they are topping the table, I don’t know they still have Europa League and DFB-Pokal to get, However, this is very good achievement for Bayern Leverkusen and also Xabi Alonso who did everything to get Bayern Leverkusen to this level, I don’t think there is someone who thought Bayern Leverkusen will reach this level. So let see if they will try and get these trophies again.

Currently Bayern Leverkusen without any pressure yet for upcoming match against Dortmund in Bundesliga after winning the domestic league tittle last week, seems Xabi Alonso will make many rotation players give them more minutes playing and giving rest with few days left after facing West Ham United tonight in Europe League. Dortmund on confidence performance after success qualifying to champion league semifinal, although their position in domestic league outside from champion league spot standings but get goals difference only with Leipzig after both teams have the same points.
Its important match for winning by Dortmund because next week will face RB Leipzig and become most important match to get top fourth place or Leipzig will secure the last ticket for participating in champion, its seems little funny Dortmund performance this season qualifying to semifinal round but can't participants for next season if finish outside from top fourth standings.

Dortmund seems to have a different fate this season, where they managed to appear consistent in the Champions League but inconsistent in the Bundesliga, so that if they don't fix it immediately they will fail to finish in the top four of the standings. However, Dortmund efforts are quite tough, because next week they have to face Leverkusen, we know who Leverkusen is this season and I think Edin Terzic fleet will lose points.

Leipzig certainly hopes that Leverkusen will succeed in humiliating Dortmund, so that their position is secure in fourth place in the standings, which in turn gives Leipzig a greater opportunity to secure a ticket to the Champions League at the end of the season. One week later, Leipzig had to face Dortmund directly to determine their own fate.

Even though Xabi has confirmed himself as the new champion in the Bundesliga, I think the match between Dortmund and Leverkusen will be very interesting to wait for, because they both carry different missions. Leverkusen has the ambition to continue maintaining their unbeaten record, while Dortmund is trying hard to secure full points to penetrate the Champions League zone.

Frankfurt would like to play internationally next season. The last chance they have of doing this is to finish at place 6. The point gap to place 5 is already too big. Freiburg, Augsburg and Hoffenheim are the other teams that also have the chance to finish at place 6. Friday evening Augsburg and Frankfurt will play against each other on. A chance for Frankfurt to widen the gap. But Frankfurt have not won their last 4 games, while Augsburg have won 2 of their last 4. So it looks a bit better for Augsburg, but the game will probably end with a draw.

Of course I don't also believe in such thing like curse but it is metaphorically like a curse on Kane.    He has been giving his 100% no matter what team he plays for but still he isn't able to win a single title. I don't doubt his performance next seasons anyway. He would continue to do his best and go for achievements like top scorer, player of the year and so on. 

Besides I don't expect Bayern Munich to continue the same next season either. It depends on who they will sign after Tuchel leaves though. If they make the right choice for the character of the team we would see them continuing from where they left. But it would still be really challenging to win the Bundesliga title while Leverkusen are this great.

Bayern Munich fans certainly really hope that there will be more significant changes next season with a new coach after Tuchel leaves, because this season it looks like Bayern Munich will not get any trophies even though Bayern Munich has already qualified for the semi-finals of the UCL. And actually I also don't believe in curses, especially if they are only said to one player (Kane). Because everything that happens to a team must always be looked at as a whole, including the team's performance, which also includes the coach himself.

Leverkusen did actually surprised everyone because they came from no were, and they are doing great at the table, and  maintaining  79 point on the table is not easy and from the look of things he as more chances to winning it, i was surprised at both bayerns and dortmunds position but it looks like that of Dortmund is worst, there chances of winning the Europa is not going to be the same with Bundesliga, but if you look at that of DFB-Pokal they have a better chance there also because there score records are good, and any of the leagues it is actually possible to win but it all depends on the club.

Many did not expect that Xabi Alonso would be able to give such a good performance to Leverkusen that he even made Leverkusen's performance unbeatable in all the competitions he has competed in so far this season. Who knows what would have happened if Xabi Alonso had not coached the Leverkusen club, perhaps until now Leverkusen would not have been able to breaking Bayern Munich's title dominance, I have to admit that Leverkusen's success this season is due to the expertise of Xabi Alonso who takes a very important role in making any decision but cooperation and adaptation between players and coaches is also quite important and Xabi Alonso has taught that if you want to achieve success, not only relying only on the coach but also cooperation between everyone.

The performance of Bayern Munich and Dortmund has indeed declined this season and they seem resigned to the results of the Bundesliga championship that Leverkusen will get, therefore both clubs are more focused on the Champions League to get the title there, but I think there is very little chance of eliminating Real Madrid in the Champions League. Meanwhile Leverkusen in the Europa League performed very well against their opponents there seemed to be no difficulties. In the DFB Pokal it seems like Leverkusen will win the match and will get the trophy because Leverkusen has reached the final, so Leverkusen's current focus in the Europa League is to get the title and achieve the treble winner.

[Roseline492]

Well there is a big possibility of Bayern Leverkusen also wining the Europa because Liverpool that was one of the favourite has gone weak lately to the extent of losing 3-0 against Atalanta, though at first I was thinking that the reason why they did not perform well on that match was because of their target on the premier League trophy but it seems their performance on the premier League has also been very poor and if they are not lucky they could possibly end this season without wining the premier League or the Europa, so they have one more chance on their next match against Atalanta so if they manage to win they will qualify to another round but if they don't they will be kicked out.

In my opinion, Leverkusen's journey this season is indeed very extraordinary, only by relying on modest players they can win the Bundesliga, besides that the Europa League will of course be their target this season, because as you said, we no longer see a strong competitor for Leverkusen if later in the second leg Liverpool and Milan are not able to make a comeback and must be eliminated sooner than the Europa League,  So far we see if 3 teams that have the potential to win the Europa League are Milan, Liverpool and Leverkusen but of the three teams it is Leverkusen who is now in a safe position to advance to the semifinals.

Yeah you are correct among the three best teams on the Europa race which is Milan, Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen the highest among them is Bayern Leverkusen because they have a very high opportunity of lifting the trophy because their stress has now reduce a bit and however right now their energy is no longer on the Bundesliga because with kind of points they have over others they have already win the league so they are not much on a serious pressure right now and they will have the time to rest and think about their upcoming matches on their other leagues, so if Liverpool failed to correct their mistake on their next Europa match they will give Bayern Leverkusen more good chance of wining the Europa.

There are some mistakes cannot be corrected but only to learn from, this is why you cannot eat your cake and have it. When Liverpool was suppose to take advantage of this stage was in the first leg at Anfield, but they felt too big and underestimated Atalanta who came to win the match and not to fight for a draw.

Is it today, that Liverpool will be able to correct that mistake by win 4-0 or 3-0 and play a penalty shootout. I don't know what makes people feel it is possible. Assuming Liverpool fought hard and had a deficit of one goal or two, I might say it is possible, but three goals is just too much for a miracle. Atalanta is playing at home, and Italians loves defensive football.

That's just it because Liverpool lost some good opportunities that if they had make use of it they would not have been on the situation they are now, however just like you said if Liverpool had at least draw their first meeting with Atalanta they would have been on a bit safer side now instead they were playing very weak on that match which gave Atalanta the way to penetrate Liverpool and score them three goals and now Liverpool is left with no option but to win Atalanta with at least four goals that's if Atalanta will not be able to score, so is almost impossible for Liverpool to qualify because Atalanta will be coming for a defensive game so I doubt if Liverpool can score that much.

Frankfurt would like to play internationally next season. The last chance they have of doing this is to finish at place 6. The point gap to place 5 is already too big. Freiburg, Augsburg and Hoffenheim are the other teams that also have the chance to finish at place 6. Friday evening Augsburg and Frankfurt will play against each other on. A chance for Frankfurt to widen the gap. But Frankfurt have not won their last 4 games, while Augsburg have won 2 of their last 4. So it looks a bit better for Augsburg, but the game will probably end with a draw.

Indeed, Frankfurt had so many points in the previous match and now they have to face the team directly below them. If Augsburg wins then the number of points will be the same but Frankfurt is still ahead on goal difference. However, if that happens, it will still be a loss for Frankfurt because it is possible that at the end of the season they will not be able to maintain their current position.

Therefore, Frankfurt must win and the bad record they had previously had to change with a win. I think that's what Frankfurt should do instead of just playing a draw or even losing. If we look at Frankfurt's other schedule, they will still face Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Leizpig and that will make them lose more points at the end of the season and give the teams below them more freedom to overtake them in the standings.

[Lafu]

Tomorrow evening there will be a very important game for Frankfurt when they play against Augsburg.
For not lose there place on the international spot Frankfurt have to win this game to be good , only 3 points difference to Augsburg.
It will be a hard game but i think that Frankfurt can make it at home and will win that match.

Yes, in my opinion, the Frankfurt club and the Augsburg club have similar performance abilities when playing on the field between the two clubs when they met in five matches, winning three points and one win for Frankfurt and one win for Augsburg and of course in terms of points earned, the difference not much different and the standings are only in order, namely Frankfurt in sixth place and Augsburg in seventh place in the current standings.
So from this we can conclude that the Frankfurt team and the Augsburg team are both fighting and working hard to occupy the top four positions in the standings. This is an opportunity and opportunity for both teams to train hard and be disciplined so they can win tomorrow's match.

[Palakka]

Tomorrow evening there will be a very important game for Frankfurt when they play against Augsburg.
For not lose there place on the international spot Frankfurt have to win this game to be good , only 3 points difference to Augsburg.
It will be a hard game but i think that Frankfurt can make it at home and will win that match.

Both teams are currently struggling to secure tickets to the conference league next season, so inevitably both teams must get 3 points in the game, seeing the condition of the two teams in the league, of course it is difficult for us to predict who will win in the game, but I think actually the competition for one last ticket to the Conference League does not only occur between Frankfurt and Augsburg,  Because for now we are still seeing if Freiburg and Hoffenheim will join them in fighting for the remaining tickets, in terms of quality, of course Augsburg and Frankfurt are quite evenly matched, as well as in head to head so far we can see that both teams cannot dominate each other's victories.

But I think so far the performance of both teams will make the game exciting because indeed both have the same chance to win, the intensity of the game that will probably be high makes me think if maybe a draw will be a realistic and fair result for both teams later, and of course if that happens then Freiburg who will also play in another match will be able to shift Augsburg from the ranking of 7th place if they win from Mainz.

So it looks a bit better for Augsburg, but the game will probably end with a draw.

An interesting match, because it looks like Frankfurt and Augsburg so far this season have statistical records that are not much different and therefore, thismatch lookslike it will be a very even match. Also, at least head to head they also quite often get draws, so it wouldn't be surprising if this match would get another draw because Augsburg is also playing away. But at least, if forexample Augsburg manages to beat Frankfurt in this match then their points will be the same, but Frankfurt will still be in sixth position because Frankfurt are still leading in the number of goals compared to Augsburg.With a record like that, I think at this moment Frankfurt is still quite safe because Frankfurt will still be in the top six even though for example Frankfurt lost by Augsburg in this match.
