Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Weawant]

Defending the championship title in the coming season is another thing, and a burden for the future. But Xabi Alonso really created new history for the Bundesliga. He was the first coach in the Bundesliga, previously he only coached Sociedad B. And he broke Bayern Munich's record. Apart from that, Bayer Liverkusen was also the first champion in the Bundesliga with Xabi. Not only that, almost all the main players also scored goals, not just strikers, defenders were also goal machines.

Even if Xabi ends up not been able to defend the championship in coming season, I'm most definite that he's going to finish top four on the table and not like their former status where they do finish around the sixth or seventh position on the table to be able to make it to Europa most times, I think this season is going to be the dawn of à new era for them in the bundesliga unlike other seasons.

The ability of Xabi to be able to mobilize all of the players in the team to the point where they were all useful at same time such that there was no absolute dependency on any one rather it was a team play such that the productivity of the team will sum up to been a glory for all and now one have a personal interest that gets to disrupt the common interests of the team, in the end winning together was just the best and it was what got the this far that they have not been able to attain In a. Very long while., Leverkusen will be able to still achieve much if they continue in same spirit.

This team spirit is something Leverkusen seem to have on a different level such that most others do not have and has given them the advantage over others which has aswell gotten them all the records they have been able to make this season but then Bayern Munich isn't a weak team either as they may come back next season for the title and so Leverkusen shouldn't see it like they have been able to achieve enough already.

I still respect Xabi Alonso no matter that they were unable to win Europa league because of his coaching skills which has made him to achieve a record that no coach have achieved throughout the history of Bundesliga. If it happens that Writz is leaving and some other players, he will get a replacement and he knows the player that he will be bringing over that he can do the job.

We might still see a new name from this present Leverkusen squad that will take over the scoring as we have seen that in the past with several clubs. I don't think that it will be a problem for Alonso if he loose some of his players that are after big clubs, he will still build up the team to be as strong as this. However, it will be much better and a relieve to him, if none of his men leaves.

I'm not really sure that next season Xabi Alonso can repeat the achievements they got this season because the habits of a team like this will make it much more difficult to maintain performance like the previous season. It is different from top teams like Bayern Munich because they have much better quality players even though this season they have experienced big failures in all competitions. Bayern Munich just needs to find a coach who has good qualities and their failure this season is much more due to the coach.

Having players come and go is a normal thing in football because there are many clubs that try to monitor the development of the players that Leverkusen has. Xabi Alonso will find it much more difficult to maintain consistency in the best form of play for his team next season because I am sure there are other teams who will try to make changes.

Now since the season is over, the teams are trying to improve the team and hire more and better players for their teams to have better performance in the next season. But, I think considering the performance of Xabi Alonso and his players during this season, the main goal for Leverkusen should be keeping the players they have and they should try to have a more stable team.
If they can have the same performance in the next season, they can be definitely the main team to race for the Bundesliga title and they can even have hope for the Champions League.

It's good to have competition within the team and now that Leverkusen will play in the Champions League, I guess they will try everything they can to keep the team intact as it is and maybe add two or three super talented players.

Does anyone know whether there are confirmed transfers yet? There are lots of rumors as the players now draw a lot of attention from other top clubs, but I can't find any information whether it is safe that some players will leave the club. I am sure though that there will be lots of offers for some of the best players.

After such an unbelievable season it is hard to believe that none of them will leave the club for a lot of money and Leverkusen may not be able to resist. I wonder what happens if Bayern really offers 100 million for Wirtz.

[TopT3ns]

Imagine if Bayer had won the whole season and ended it with two defeats in the finals. It would be a very strange feeling  

Oh hell yes that would be for sure the baddest ending and feeling for the season.

I am very pleased that Bayer won and did the golden double (without a single defeat in Germany during the season).

Same here , glad that they done it and with 10 players for 45 Minutes thats a good strength from Leverkusen.

Tomorrow will be the last relegation game between Bochum and Düsseldorf.
Fingers crossed that Bochum will make the magical happen and equalizes the three goals from the first game.

Düsseldorf is a great team who is currently in the top three, I am not sure Bochum will win this match because the opponent they face is quite strong and difficult to beat. but we know that when in the field anything can happen. Here there is still a possibility that Düsseldorf will give Bochum a chance to win and survive the relegation zone.

[TelolettOm]

Bayer Leverkusen can win all the domestic competitions at least. So, they never got a defeat in all domestic matches during this season. It is also a good record, only very limited teams that can do this record. Leverkusen won 2 trophies, it is cool achievement for a new rising team like Leverkusen. It is quite good for them. Congratulations!! 

Indeed Bayern Leverkusen tried even though they didn't finish the season in an unbeaten run in all competitions but they did finish the Bundesliga in an unbeaten run so they are the first team to set such a record which can be difficult for any other team to achieve within a short time. The record alone has set them outstanding in the Bundesliga and for them to win the trophy and the DFB Pokal is a huge achievement for them so they shouldn't feel bad that they didn't add the Europa league trophy but if they continue in this performance they can still win European titles in the future.

Yes, definitely. For Leverkusen and other clubs, Leverkusen's achievements this season under Xabi have been truly fantastic. It doesn't need to be in accordance with everything the fans want, because, sometimes this is precisely what can make Leverkusen become much better and stronger in the next season. Although it might be quite difficult to defend the title, because of course Bayern Munich and other clubs are competing closely. However, as long as Xabi is still there and they can get more pro players, Bayer Leverkusen should be able to handle it very well.

Anyway, Bundesliga will add a team to send for the UEFA Conference League due to the victory of Leverkusen in the final DFB Pokal. Congratulations to Heidenheim that finishes in the 8 position and is now officially to UEFA Conference League playoff.

I completely agree Leverkusen success this season under Xabi leadership has been truly impressive. While it is natural for fans to have their own expectations sometimes going against grain can lead to even greater improvements. Defending their title won't be easy especially with powerhouses like Bayern Munich and other strong contenders. However with Xabi at helm and addition of more talented players I believe Leverkusen has the potential to rise to the challenge and continue their upward trajectory. Xabi guidance and the team determination will be key to their success in the next season.

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

The best effort is always important for a club like Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso has also proven that this season and must be able to continue to bring that kind of effort next season because next season Leverkusen will be in the UCL which is a much greater competition than the UEL So it is hoped that Xabi Alonso will be able to do much better next season in order to be able to compete with teams that are more elite than the ones they faced this season in the UEL and Bundesliga.

Even though next season Xabi Alonso will still be at Bayer Leverkusen, but I am curious whether there will be big changes in their squad or not. Because after all, it seems like there are a lot of rumors circulating about Florian Wirtz who is interested in big teams out there like Real Madrid. Even though maybe it's just a rumor, but I think it's very possible for them to leave, especially about the offer from Real Madrid is always tempting. But yes, whether there will be big changes or not of the Bayer Leverkusen squad next season, at least Xabi Alonso will still do his best of course to make Bayer Leverkusen remain great next season because of its status as defending champion.

Florian Wirtz is one of the young players who is very important for Leverkusen and so far during his time with Leverkusen, especially under the leadership of Xabi, he has shown very competitive quality of performance so it is unlikely that Leverkusen will let Florian Wirtz go easily.
In addition, Florian Wirtz has contract until 2027 and he also has release clause of €130 million, clearly this is not small amount and Real Madrid themselves have also brought in Mbappe in preparation for starting next season.
Not only Real Madrid but also Manchester City are interested in bringing in Florian Wirtz but I not sure he will leave in the near future, but if it is for the 2025/26 season, it is possible that he could easily go to another team.

What is clear is that Leverkusen and Xabi will always try to maintain what is the strength of the Leverkusen squad, losing Florian Wirtz could be disaster for Leverkusen because all this success cannot be separated from his contribution.

Düsseldorf is a great team who is currently in the top three, I am not sure Bochum will win this match because the opponent they face is quite strong and difficult to beat. but we know that when in the field anything can happen. Here there is still a possibility that Düsseldorf will give Bochum a chance to win and survive the relegation zone.

Bochum has lost by three goals without reply at home in the Qualification Play-offs match in the last three days and I am not sure that Bochum can make a big comeback when competing at home to Fortuna Düsseldorf because the Bochum team will have to score more goals to stay in Bundesliga next season. So the second leg match for the Qualification Play-offs seems to be a bit difficult for the Bochum team to win because Bochum is already behind with more goals first.

[Strongkored]

Once again Granit Xhaka scored a beautiful goal and this time he did it in the DFB Pokal final against Kaiserslautern. That was also the only goal scored in this match and also locked up Leverkusen's second trophy this season. I think the previous failure in the European League final was enough to teach Xabi Alonso's squad and they immediately improved in another final this time.

Of the 53 matches in all competitions, they only lost 1 time and this was an achievement that had never been previously expected. How Xabi Alonso turned Leverkusen into a threat is very real this season. It won't just stop at this season but they will continue it in all competitions next season. Maybe Leverkusen will still be consistent enough, but if they are undefeated again they will find it difficult to do that.

Even though Bayer Leverkusen managed to win the DFB Cup, they only scored one goal against Kaiserslautern, a team that only finished thirteenth in Bundesliga 2, so it seems there was a decline in Bayer's performance because previously they couldn't even score a single goal in the European League final, but this is only my opinion and the intelligence of Xabi Alonso may have seen these signs and he will definitely try to ensure that his team is ready to play with good quality games at the start of the season because as defending champions they are under stronger pressure to be able to defend their title, because many teams only occasionally becoming champions fails to maintain what has been achieved and hopefully Bayer Leverkusen will not experience something like that, because if they continue to perform well, the Bundesliga competition will become interesting.

[Mame89]

Imagine if Bayer had won the whole season and ended it with two defeats in the finals. It would be a very strange feeling  
But if Kaiserslautern had won, that would also have been a miracle - after all, they are only the 13th team in the second Bundesliga. This team also surprised everyone and I hope to continue to progress. Overall, I am very pleased that Bayer won and did the golden double (without a single defeat in Germany during the season).

Kaiserslautern were definitely living the dream this season, they scale pass through some of the Bundesliga clubs and winning the cup would have been an icing on the cake for them and one of the stories of the season. But a win will have seem to shatter all what Xabi Alonso had worked for throughout the season. Personally I feel like they seems just too relax in the too finals and were over themselves, this was probably because of the league triumph celebrations which Is why it is better not to do  too much of the celebration after winning a title and the entire season isn’t just over.

Yes that's right. I also have a lot of respect for Kaiserslautern and its fans. They have fought until the final which is a matter of pride and they have also tried their best in the final but still lost because Leverkusen is a strong team. But I hope to see Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga in the next few years.

For Leverkusen, the defeat in the Europa final against Atalanta was indeed sad, and was a very bitter defeat because they were defeated at the wrong time. but winning 2 domestic cups with 0 defeats in the bundesliga is still an extraordinary statistic and performance. A record that will stand for a long time. Well done and congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso and his staff.

So the second leg match for the Qualification Play-offs seems to be a bit difficult for the Bochum team to win because Bochum is already behind with more goals first.

Bochum had lost by 3 goals in the first leg which was played at their own home so there was no longer any possibility for them to turn things around in the second leg when they played at Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Looking at it as a whole, this season, Fortuna Düsseldorf is much stronger than Bochum, especially since their motivation is only one step away from being promoted to the Bundesliga, so I think this is only natural.

Losing 3 goals in the first leg is a number of goals that will be difficult for Bochum to catch, yes, it looks like they will fail to survive in the Bundesliga next season. It can be seen that Fortuna Düsseldorf are very comfortable in playing, even though in terms of ball control Bochum can be superior, the effectiveness of Fortuna Düsseldorf's attack is better so they can create goal after goal which in the end they can score 3 goals at the end of the match.

In the second leg, Bochum must first achieve an aggregate of 3 goals and that will not be easy at all. They have to appear attacking and as much as possible to score goals in the early minutes of the match, they don't have to think anything about the result of the match because that will be a burden for them. They have to be able to appear loose, because I think that will make them play much better. Of course, they must be able to carry out the trainer's instructions as well as possible.

[bering]

Anyway, Bundesliga will add a team to send for the UEFA Conference League due to the victory of Leverkusen in the final DFB Pokal. Congratulations to Heidenheim that finishes in the 8 position and is now officially to UEFA Conference League playoff.


Source: Heidenheim will play in the UEFA Conference League play-offs

Bundesliga has send 8 teams to playing at European Competitions this season and they have 5 representatives to play in the Champion League and 2 teams to playing at Europa League and Heidenheim was benefited of the result between Leverkusen vs Kaiserslautern because after Leverkusen is being an the winner of this match then automatically Heidenheim will playing at UEFA Conference League however i think as promotion team of last season Heidenheim achievement is very fantastic this season because they can finish at 8th place and they will playing at UEFA Conference League and if i am not mistaken this is Heidenheim first experience to playing at European competitions

Besides Heidenheim i think Hoffenheim progress under Pellegrino Matarazzo also very impressive because within a season Pellegrino Matarazzo can improved Hoffenheim final position on League Table which Hoffenheim current position is much better compared to last season and finish at 7th place and after absense 3 years finally Hoffenheim can return to Europa League again

[hyudien]

True, it would be very strange if Leverkusen had to accept 2 consecutive defeats and both were final matches, that would be completely unacceptable, I mean they performed well all season and even without defeats, and at the end they had to accept consecutive defeats? and that's from a team in Bundesliga 2? Lol

Fortunately, that didn't happen and although there is a bit of regret that they didn't make it with the treble because they failed in the final which was in sight, at least they were able to marry the Bundesliga trophy with the DFB which is still something that is sometimes difficult for any club to do and Leverkusen can do that this season.

This is another important moment because even though their unbeaten streak must be uprooted because their record must be stopped but indeed 1 season with 2 trophies (almost three trophies) and only 1 loss from all the matches played is an achievement in itself that Leverkusen needs to be proud of because not all clubs can do it.
The victory in the final this time makes the euphoria that was originally stopped now restarted, congratulations to Leverkusen for their second trophy this season.

Their only disappointment this season was not being able to win the treble because they lost to Atalanta in the final match. But again I say that is something they should not regret because what they have shown this season has been extraordinary. Yes, even though their record was broken due to defeat, they are still the team that has held the record the longest without losing.
Everything is unpredictable, and that happened in the final match. But before that they showed something that led to defeat, we can see in their last few matches, they almost lost, but they were able to score a goal in the last minute of the match and that saved them in that match. However, that didn't happen in this final match, because they lost with a score that they couldn't catch up even though they were able to score a goal in the final minutes of the match. What is clear is that Xabi has brought Leverkusen to an extraordinary performance this season, I appreciate him.

[xzone]

At least Leverkusen has won there game against Kaiserslautern today in the german DFB Cup.
And that 45 Minutes with 10 players after a red card means something i guess.

Bayer Leverkusen was the best team this season, I would be very surprised if they did not win the cup apart from the league championship. They played great against all German teams throughout the season, and I did not think for a moment that they would lose in the cup final. After many years, they made their fans happy with such statistics.
After their performances this season, expectations have increased a lot, we are now expecting the champions league championship

[Renampun]

...
There is no doubt, Leverkusen had a perfect season, they are the only team to have such record this season, they only lose the Europa League but they won the remaining two trophies undefeated.

All Leverkusen players now have an upgrade in their individual rating, some of them will become world class and some will definitely leave the team because there will teams that will start hunting for the players because of their outstanding performance.

Leverkusen's defeat in the European League final, in my opinion, was very painful, but I was surprised why Alonso could miss Atalanta, to be honest, if we compare it with Leverkusen, Atalanta doesn't have a perfect record, but this is the magic of football, no team is truly perfect, everyone will lose at some point, even so, I really appreciate Alonso because he managed to make Leverkusen what it is now, I still haven't heard of the player Alonso is targeting for next season, if we compare it with Another team, Leverkusen still doesn't have a very prominent striker.

[Inwestour]

Now since the season is over, the teams are trying to improve the team and hire more and better players for their teams to have better performance in the next season. But, I think considering the performance of Xabi Alonso and his players during this season, the main goal for Leverkusen should be keeping the players they have and they should try to have a more stable team.
If they can have the same performance in the next season, they can be definitely the main team to race for the Bundesliga title and they can even have hope for the Champions League.

Bayer has a good squad, maybe Alonso will try to improve some positions, but he shouldn’t demand big finances for transfers. The next season will be a new test for Alonso, whether he can repeat the success in the Bundesliga, how Bayer will play in the Champions League, these are all very important questions. If Alonso had left for Bayern and Bayer's results had worsened, everyone would have said that the reason was obvious, but if he decided to stay, then he would have to work even harder, staying at the top is always more difficult.

Leverkusen performance this season has been really tremendous not untill they casually lost to Atalanta in the EUROPA final which I felt should have been their highest priority to secure other than the German cup final but nevertheless they at least secured one out of the both finals played.  How could they have lost this one, going two finals and not winning any even for an under club like Kaiserslautern, it would actually be a bad recognition in the face of Xabi and might affect his career probably his continuity as the coach of Leverkusen.

[Farma]

So the second leg match for the Qualification Play-offs seems to be a bit difficult for the Bochum team to win because Bochum is already behind with more goals first.

Playing at the opponent's home ground didn't make Dusseldorf panic, they actually enjoyed it when they visited Bochum's home ground, even though this match really determines where the two teams will play next season, but seeing that in the first match Bochum conceded 3-0 without replying to their guest Dusseldorf, now Dusseldorf can be a little sighed for the second match which will be played at home.

With 3-0 behind, it is very likely that Dusseldorf will continue next season in the Bundesliga and Bochun will go down to competition 2, but everything is still wide open even though it is very difficult for Bochum, we know the German League always offers lots of goals, especially since Bochum has good experience when visiting Dusseldorf, this will be a good motivation for him to turn things around.

[Lidger]

However, it will be much better and a relieve to him, if none of his men leaves.

I'm not really sure that next season Xabi Alonso can repeat the achievements they got this season because the habits of a team like this will make it much more difficult to maintain performance like the previous season. It is different from top teams like Bayern Munich because they have much better quality players even though this season they have experienced big failures in all competitions. Bayern Munich just needs to find a coach who has good qualities and their failure this season is much more due to the coach.

Having players come and go is a normal thing in football because there are many clubs that try to monitor the development of the players that Leverkusen has. Xabi Alonso will find it much more difficult to maintain consistency in the best form of play for his team next season because I am sure there are other teams who will try to make changes.

Now since the season is over, the teams are trying to improve the team and hire more and better players for their teams to have better performance in the next season. But, I think considering the performance of Xabi Alonso and his players during this season, the main goal for Leverkusen should be keeping the players they have and they should try to have a more stable team.
If they can have the same performance in the next season, they can be definitely the main team to race for the Bundesliga title and they can even have hope for the Champions League.

After the end of a full season every team wants to improve their team's performance and in order to improve the performance they recruit players to their club in different ways. There are some players who can't do anything good for the club and the clubs sell those players and the players who can make an impact for the club are signed by the different clubs. Xabi Alonso has certainly been successful this season and he has been successful with his team's performance even though they have had a few mistakes in one match and they have performed well everywhere in the Europa League or local leagues. If Xabi Alonso wants and if the management agrees, then a new player can be added to this club because they need to strengthen this team if they play in the Champions League next season.
