Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Palakka]

There was no winner in the battle of the other 2 teams fighting to stay in the league.Mainz drew 1-1 with Cologne at home.We can say that Cologne played a better game than their opponent, but unfortunately it was not enough to beat them. Mainz, who led at half time, relaxed a bit at the beginning of the second half when Cologne missed a penalty, but Cologne managed to get a draw with a penalty in the last minutes.If Cologne had won this match, they would have reduced the point difference to 2, but it seems that this draw will not help them much.We can now say that Cologne has been relegated from the league.

Mainz wasted their chance to be able to secure their position in the Bundesliga next season, a draw against Koln certainly makes their current position begin to be threatened because indeed Union Berlin and Bochum may play it safe next week, while Mainz of course have to work hard to win the game against Heidenheim next week, for now the chances of Mainz staying in the Bundesliga are of course very unlikely to happen with 3 games remaining the weight they have to face.


Talking about that the match, of course Koln seemed to dominate the match, but in terms of actual odds the two teams were quite evenly matched even though in fact Koln's game still looked better, for now Koln can certainly be relegated because indeed with 23 points and 3 games left it is impossible for them to be able to chase the safe zone currently occupied by Bochum.
In addition to Cologne, of course Darmstadt also no longer has any hope of staying in the bundesliga next season, while for the Bundesliga 2 team that can be sure to be promoted to the bundesliga is St Pauli and also Holstein Kiel.

On the other hand, to be honest, I am really sorry and quite concerned when talking about Harry Kane, one of the reasons for his move from Tottenham to Bayern Munich is to be able to become a champion at the end of the season with the performance he has himself along with Bayern Munich which as we know they have always managed to secure the title at the end of the season for more than a decade, but yes in the end as you say that the end of the season title does not depend on one player alone but the cohesiveness of a team.

Honestly, personally I don't know if Harry Kane is really experiencing a curse or not but certainly this is a very unfortunate situation because in the end he failed again to win the title at the end of the season with his team, but overall yes we all have to admit that Xabi Alonso's squad is truly extraordinary this season, they can always secure matches by winning 3 full points or a draw and also become one of the teams that managed to score an unbeaten record since the start of the season began. On the other hand yes I am quite worried about Harry Kane there, what I mean is that I am worried that Harry Kane will be sold because of this season's failure, but I think it's too early to conclude now.

In my opinion, Harry Kane is not cursed, Bayern Munich failed collectively, not failed because of the existence of Harry Kane alone. All players hope to win trophies with the club they play for, and deciding to join Bayern Munich is also not the wrong thing, in my opinion Harry Kane still has several seasons left to taste the sweetness of winning the title. Individually, Harry Kane has not failed, he has scored 42 goals in 42 matches in all competitions, and also added 13 assists. So overall, his recruitment from Tottenham was in line with expectations, it could be that Bayern Munich would have been worse off and left behind Leverkusen if Harry Kane had not joined. The last chance for Bayern Munich is to win the Champions League, although we realize that their chances are lower than Real Madrid.

[hahay]

According to Mainz upcoming schedules actually their next opponents is not too hard because the strongest team which they will faced is only Dortmund and in my opinion if Mainz didn't lost until end of this season i think big possibility Mainz can avoiding relegated zone or at least they can finish at play off zone and for other team Darmstadt officially will be relegated to Bundesliga 2 this because with only 3 matches remaining then impossible for them to avoiding relegation zone

Though it has been crystal clear this season that Mainz is not in a good shape, so perhaps in as much as there upcoming matches may not be totally against stronger teams except there match against Borussia Dortmund but I'm still skeptical that Mainz will be able to win any of those matches considering there poor efforts and performances on there previous matches because even if most of the clubs they will be meeting is not too stronger than them but they have managed to build there way out of the relegation zone unlike Mainz, so perhaps like you said I believe they could only end up on the relegation play off because even on there next match with Heidenheim I doubt if they will win the match.

Yes, according to calculations, Mainz is in a position that is at leastsafe, because if for example Mainz fails to overtake Bochum, but Mainz is in a position to enter the play-off round. Therefore, basically Mainz only needs to maintain its position so as not to lose in the remaining matches. But, if for example Mainz lose by Dortmund later and Mainz manages not to lose against Heidenheim and Wolfsburg, whether it's a win or just a draw against Heidenheim and Wolfsburg but ofcourse, Mainz will still be in 16th position or maybe Mainz will also succeed in overtaking Bochum, who knows. But yes, the point is that Bochum is still in a safe position even though they may have to go through the play-off round later to continue playing in the Bundesliga and not be relegated.

Harry Kane experiencing a curse is just a banter among fans. People call it "curse" or "luck", because those happens on unexplainable situation. There were many players who have similar bad luck of not winning certain trophy, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo Nazario who never won Champions League. This sounds unfair to the players, because trophies are not individual achievements in football.

Harry Kane still have chances to win the league trophies, because he will still play for Bayern next few season, and Leverkusen won't always have this remarkable league campaign. Next season, Bayern need to have a very good start of the season, if they don't want to go under pressure if Leverkusen or other team taking the lead of the league early.

[ginsan]

You should know thst the season is coming to an end already and almost every team is tightening up their defense and their form to be able to see how much they can achieve with the small time they have got remaining so you wouldn't blame them for not been able to rain goals as you expected initially because they are allowed trying to make sure they concede less goals and get more wins so they can at least finish Ina good position.

Draw was actually not a good results for both team as it really didn't get them anything nice,not even helping them getting to a better position on the table but then they were able to still share points equally at the end of the game, union Berlin actually was supposed to have been able to get even more goals from that game but they were not good with converting their opportunity or even creating better once although monchengaldbach made sure their defence wasn't such that could be easily penetrated but they aren't a tough enough team which was supposed to get Berlin to struggle Berlin is a team that's experienced and have been able to do better even against bigger teams.

This is almost two weeks to the end of the league the only risk both team has gotten is in the fact that they may not get to qualify for the champions league next season but they are definitely going to be able to do finish at good positions on the table especially for Berlin who's just two points away from relegation, they need to get more wins and goals so they can be at advantage in these last few weeks else stand the risk of relegation.

At the end of the season, sometimes it can be very boring to watch some matches because we already know that Leverkusen is the champion so there is nothing exciting enough for Leverkusen next match. But there are also matches at the end of the season that are interesting for teams trying to get points to improve their ranking, such as Bochum, Mainz05 and Union Berlin. For the teams at the bottom of the standings, they really need points in the remaining matches at the end of this season.

Mid-table teams will not be targeting anything else because losing or winning has no impact on their position in the standings. However, what is interesting is that Dortmund performance has declined quite a bit this season because in the 31st week, Dortmund still hasn't managed to break into the top 4 rankings. But there is still time for them, but their chances are quite small to end the season in the top 4.

The manner at which some people are attributing Bayern Munich's failures to the presence of Harry Kane in the club over sickening and if you ask me, I think they're group of people who do not know what football in it's totality. Harry Kane for a true hasn't won any trophy with any club he's played for in the past but the England international has been very helpful to any team he's playing for. This season as a Bayern Munich player, Harry Kane have scored as high as 42 goals this season coupled with his numerous assists as well so if there's any player that wanted Bayern Munich to win as many trophies as possible this season, then I think it is no other person but Harry Kane.
The reason why Bayern Munich signed Harry Kane was majorly to score many goals as a strikers and that he's been doing exceptionally well if you ask me so to win trophies, the rest of the team has to be as productive as Harry Kane and not to leave everything for him alone

Bayern Munich has been winning consistently since the last three matches in the Bundesliga. But I don’t know if that is worth anything now because they have already lost the Bundesliga title. And that is not a regular thing. That has happened after 11 years. The last time they were unable to win the Bundesliga title, Harry Kane was in Millwall FC, People were playing FIFA 12, El Clásico was the most anticipated football match, Messi was almost 25 years old and Cristiano Ronaldo was almost 27. That’s how long it has been.

Of course credit to Leverkusen for actually being able to do this against all odds. And now Bayern Munich is somehow able to win the Champions League title, it is also going to be another really surprising thing because nobody actually is giving them any chance. Everyone Is almost certain that Real Madrid is going to win the Champions League title.

The Bundesliga has now become more interesting after Leverkusen managed to lock up the trophy, and has automatically increased the competitive level, making it interesting for us to watch the competition that takes place. Xabi fleet has caught our attention during this season, where breaking Bayern dominance has been a rare occurrence. Xabi decision to stay is a threat to Bayern next season, where they have to adjust and adapt to a new coach, while taking the trophy back from Leverkusen hands.

Leverkusen impressive performance has brought many changes to the overall competition in the Bundesliga, Dortmund also has the same fate as Bayern and currently they are having difficulty breaking into the top four of the standings. The Bundesliga is no longer boring like previous seasons. We certainly hope that Leverkusen can maintain its performance next season, to make the Bundesliga more competitive.

The record that Leverkusen currently holds will be very difficult for any club to surpass in the future, even themselves, so retaining the trophy is in fact more difficult than winning it. The Bundesliga has 3 more matches left, where Leverkusen will climb to the top of the podium and lift the trophy, and Bayern dominance will be broken.

On the contrary, I am sure that Munich will restore their team squad to take over the Bundesliga trophy which has now been broken by Bayer Leverkusen. We know how Leverkusen has performed this season, even so far Xabi Alonso's squad is unbeaten. a very brilliant achievement for the coach, as well as the Leverkusen squad itself. Xabi's decision to stay with Leverkusen may have been the best for him, at least Xabi Alonso may still have the ambition to bring Leverkusen to perform well next season both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. Plus, maybe Xabi wants to establish himself as a fairly experienced coach. There is no doubt about Bayer Leverkusen's performance, that's why they locked up the Bundesliga trophy and broke Bayern Munich's dominance.

However, Bayern's performance is actually not optimal this season. the departure of Yan Sommer, and Neuer's injury which made Bayern experience a few problems when playing match after match. At the same time, Steven Ulreich's performance was unreliable, unfortunately several of Bayern's core players were injured. In the end, Bayern's dominance was able to be broken by Leverkusen. next season, it is not certain that Leverkusen will be able to compete closely against Bayern Munich. one thing I forgot, Bayern Munich is a Bundesliga giant team and they will make efforts to strengthen their team next summer. next season, the coach's options will be the main priority. Apart from that, Bayern Munich will definitely bring in several newcomers. with the Bayern team squad, they only need an experienced and established coach. So, if it's suitable, the coach doesn't need long to adapt. As for Dortmund, it looks like Endin Terzic's squad will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings until the end of the competition.

[Silence Scream]

Maybe it would be more accurate to say as you say, that Kane was just unlucky because when he came to Bayern Munich there was another club that performed extraordinary this season, namely Leverkusen. Instead of getting what he wanted, he couldn't get it and the cause was Leverkusen. He is still very sharp and if I judge him personally on his performance, he is actually very worthy of getting the title this season, and even when he was still at Tottenham, if I judge him as an individual he is quite worthy of getting the title there.

He can try again next season, because I'm sure he will stay at Bayern Munich. There is no reason for Bayern Munich to let go of players who have performed well this season. However, he still has the chance to become champion, namely in the Champions League, although it is not an easy thing, their chance is still there, if they are lucky enough to beat Real Madrid in the semifinals, I think they will be able to become champions.

No doubt about that, we all know how good Harry Kane is and if it's based on individual merit, he deserves to win a title but I think winning is not only an individual effort, but a collective thing and if the circumstances are right, it becomes easier but presently, the bundesliga title have gone to Bayer Leverkusen (who are very much deserving if you ask me. A team who haven't lost in the last 46 games should be given a separate trophy, if any.)
Kane will have to wait till next season and hope Bayer Leverkusen don't continue this streak they are on and maybe he'd have a shot at it. Bayern Munich who like selling out their good players will surely have a rethink when it comes to Harry Kane I'm sure.

In my opinion, Bayern Munich's best player this year was clearly Harry Kane. It would be an unthinkable decision for Bayern to sell Harry Kane when he is this good and is supporting the team. I think the first player who should stay for Bayern should be Harry Kane. I'm sure Real Madrid is waiting in line if they want to sell him. It is not difficult to guess that he will be much better than Joselu there.

Of course Bayern Munich will carry out major changes next season because their target is to become champions again after failing to do so this season. Tuchel has failed to make Bayern Munich strong in the Bundesliga and that is a big failure that has happened to Bayern Munich this season. Meanwhile, Leverkusen will definitely provide interesting competition next season because management will bring in more quality players to increase their strength in either the Champions League or Bundesliga.

Well, talking about Bayern Munich new coach, of course there are already several big names who have been linked with Bayern Munich. But some of the news is certainly not accurate enough because Bayern Munich is still focused on working with Tuchel until the end of this season. I think if Mourinho, or Xabi Alonso became Bayern Munich coach of course it would be better in returning Bayern Munich to be stronger in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich might not be in form but they've the best set of players when comparable to Bundesliga pattern of game. Thomas Tuchel is doing his best to apprehend the team and their performance, the current problem or challenges looks bigger than the coach, he have failed to resolved the matter. Harry Kane is unarguably the best Bayern Munich player this season. He have bagged good number of goals and he's still scoring in upcoming matches. He's a fierce and complete attacker, no room for relenting efforts but always focused on the top job this season.

I fully agree with that , that Harry Kane is and was the best player from Bayern Munich , maybe Leroy Sane and Musiala aslo.
Guess they dont think about to sell Kane as he scored the most Goals and fits fully into the team of Munich.

Leverkusen will definitely provide interesting competition next season because management will bring in more quality players to increase their strength in either the Champions League or Bundesliga.

Dont know if Leverkusen would or will be making big changes to the Team for the next season about new quality Players.
They showed already that they have enough strength , never change a running system.

[tiCeR]

It was to be expected that some results are not as anyone would foresee. Leverkusen was going for records, but they still want to win all titles possible. I get that they have tried their best to break records, but besides the fact that writing history would be amazing, they know that winning it all would be more valuable than anything else.

[Nheer]

I think we are getting it wrong to say it is a curse for Kane that is why Bayern Munich does not have consistency with their games this season. Bayern Munich's performance is still not bad, they continue to win their games, even though they lost the Bundesliga title this season, Kane has scored 42 goals for the club this season, did you think Bayern Munich will be in second place if Kane is not in Bayern Munich this season? In my opinion, Kane is the only player that brought Bayern Munich this far, to qualify for the Champions League semifinal. Bayern Munich have all the players it takes to win a trophy, they just need to improve and maintain their winning ways.

Blaming a single player for their failure is not a good thing at all especially when the player is the highest goals scorer of the league, i think he deserves this trophy more than anyone but the team let him down. I think the coach should take more responsibility for making the team fail despite having the league goal scorer among them. Harry Kane is just so unlucky with winning trophies if not why would Bayern lose the league the season he joined them, performance wise Kane was excellent for the team and they won’t regret spending 100 million to bring him to the team.

They still have the Champions league to fight for so I’d say Kane hopes of winning a trophy is still alive if only they can win their remaining games to reach the final.

When Harry Kane left the English Premier League for a substantial fee to join the Bundesliga, we assumed that maybe Harry Kane was going to win his first career title for Bayern Munich. 

Bayern Munich were definitely favorites to win the title this season but Bayer Leverkusen surprised everyone and proved everyone's expectations wrong as they went undefeated this season and won the title. No other major team can achieve the kind of record that Bayer Leverkusen has. The bundesliga should give this team a separate award for performing so well. 
Harry Kane may have to wait one more season to win the title as they don't have much chance of winning any title this season.

[klidex]

I can see the competition between the team on relegation zone also very tight because the difference points between Mainz, Bochum and Union Berlin is not too far and about Mainz unfortunately they were failed to utilized the match against Koln to collect 3 points this because they only playing draw yesterday and actually Mainz almost be win the match but Florian Kainz can appears as super subs because with his goal at the end of second half makes Koln can avoiding to lost and this result is very unfavourable for Mainz because they really required points to avoiding relegation zone

Currently Mainz is ranked 16th or in the relegation play off zone with 28 points, 5 points more than the 2 clubs below which will most likely be relegated. If Mainz plays 2 matches by winning against Heidenheim and Wolsburg then it can be ensured that Mainz will not experience relegation, he also still has a chance to overtake Bochum and avoid the play offs because the point difference is only 2 points. If Bochum loses 1 or 2 matches then it will be Mainz's opportunity to overtake him. If you look at the final results, Mainz has experienced good improvement, even better than Bochum, so Mainz could overtake Bochum if Bochum is careless and loses points in the next 3 matches.

For Darmstadt and Cologne, it seems like there is no longer any hope for them if their performance continues to get worse and doesn't improve, in fact they have to get 2 wins first so they can overtake Mainz who are in the relegation playoffs and that is a tough challenge for them with the remaining time. few and their conditions are like this, Koln actually has a greater chance of winning 3 matches because they are not facing one of the top clubs compared to Mainz and Darmstadt who both face Dortmund.

[Majestic-milf]

Honestly, personally I don't know if Harry Kane is really experiencing a curse or not but certainly this is a very unfortunate situation because in the end he failed again to win the title at the end of the season with his team, but overall yes we all have to admit that Xabi Alonso's squad is truly extraordinary this season, they can always secure matches by winning 3 full points or a draw and also become one of the teams that managed to score an unbeaten record since the start of the season began. On the other hand yes I am quite worried about Harry Kane there, what I mean is that I am worried that Harry Kane will be sold because of this season's failure, but I think it's too early to conclude now.

It will be stupid of Bayern Munich to sell out their current highest goal scorer and if you think it's his fault the team were not able to win the title, I'd like you to rethink. Before coming to Bayern Munich, the club were already in second place behind Bayer Leverkusen and although many thought he'd turn things around but there was just so much the Englishman could do.
 We know how formidable Xabi Alonso's men are so for you to overthrow them is to wait for next season.

[Minor Miner]

For Darmstadt and Cologne, it seems like there is no longer any hope for them if their performance continues to get worse and doesn't improve, in fact they have to get 2 wins first so they can overtake Mainz who are in the relegation playoffs and that is a tough challenge for them with the remaining time. few and their conditions are like this, Koln actually has a greater chance of winning 3 matches because they are not facing one of the top clubs compared to Mainz and Darmstadt who both face Dortmund.

Koln and Darmstadt have no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. The performance of these two teams is very poor and erratic. We have not seen good performances from these two teams in the previous matches as well. However, we have seen an improvement in Mainz's performance. This team is in a very good rhythm right now. Mainz players are trying their best to stay away from the relegation zone.

Mainz team is undefeated in last 5 matches. Won 2 out of 5 matches and drew 3 matches. And Mainz is just 2 points behind Bochum. If Mainz can continue their good performance then the team can stay away from the relegation zone. But in the last three matches Mainz team is going to face Heidenheim, Wolfsburg and Dortmund. All three opponents are strong. It is very difficult for Mainz to get points in these three matches.

[rendravolt]

It seems that last night's defeat suffered by Darmstadt means they have to return to Bundesliga 2 for next season. Heidenheim managed to steal 3 points from Darmstadt after beating them with a narrow score of 0-1 and at the same time making Heidenheim's position very comfortable in the top 10 of the standings. Maybe some thought the match would end in a draw considering that both teams were debutants at the start of the 23/24 Bundesliga season and only one of them could survive.

I think it's only natural that there is a debutant team that can't survive fully in a big competition like this and Darmstadt shouldn't be sad and they just need to start over again so they can return to the Bundesliga later. It's a shame, but this is competition. If everything isn't fully prepared, there will always be victims who have bad luck.

[bct_ail]

For Darmstadt and Cologne, it seems like there is no longer any hope for them if their performance continues to get worse and doesn't improve, in fact they have to get 2 wins first so they can overtake Mainz who are in the relegation playoffs and that is a tough challenge for them with the remaining time. few and their conditions are like this, Koln actually has a greater chance of winning 3 matches because they are not facing one of the top clubs compared to Mainz and Darmstadt who both face Dortmund.

There are still 9 points to get for and Darmstadt have a gap of 11 points to place 16, so it is already clear that Darmstadt will be relegated to Bundesliga 2 after just one year.
It will be very close for Köln. The next two games they will play at home against Freiburg and Union Berlin. A home game could be their advantage. But Freiburg are still trying to reach place 6 and Union Berlin are also fighting against relegation. It remains exciting.
