Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Ruttoshi]

Finally Dortmund managed to win this match with a score of 2:3 this time Dortmund did well and did not disappoint their fans as a top club at least Dortmund must continue to show their best even though this is only a pre-season match. Dortmund scored 3 goals early in the first half and it was a good start, Karim Adeyemi scored 2 goals in this match in the 26th and 30th minute while Jamie Bynoe scored in the 29th minute what an extraordinary 5 minutes
I originally wanted to place a bet on the Dortmund match because I had prepared for it but apparently I missed the time

I wouldn't say Dortmund did poorly, they did well and I'm impressed but I did expected more and you would wonder how, I expected more in the fact they they would have not just scored the goals but would have been able to defended it to the point they wouldn't conceded that much goal already but then they conceded two goals which makes me feel they had just a goal by the margin, Dortmund is a better team as compared to their opponent and they have a better strength and capacity to than their opponent, depth wise, their opponent is even of a weaker depth so all this are reasons I kept a higher expectations on Dortmund.

Defense is indeed something that Dortmund needs to fix before they start the new season, I see Dortmund's pre-season matches are not too good they always concede goals from weaker clubs, it's useless if they have a good attack line but their defense is weak then their opponents will know their weaknesses and create strategies to defeat Dortmund.
However, I realize that if the coach does not bring out the best players in this pre-season match I think Dortmund still has a good defense let these matches be evaluation material for the coach to solve the problems that occur in his club.

I don't know why you worry so much about friendly matches because I don't see it as a game one should take the outcome serious. Dortmund have a good defense but they allowed the younger players to play with you know about that so why sounding as if they have a bad defense and are not need tighten it before the season starts.

Dortmund coach knows what he is doing and I believe he used the match to observe something to see if he will make some changes or not. Hey are you a Dortmund fan.

We don't need to worry too much about Dortmund's performance just because of one friendly match because after all, friendly matches are only used as one of the events to find a suitable formation scheme by looking at the performance of several players on the field, therefore we see almost the entire line-up players being replaced because this is also used as material to research about who are suitable players to be in the line-up in preparation for the budensliga next season.

In addition, this also aims to make Nuri Sahin sure for his players because we know that Nuri Sahin is a fairly new coach and his experience is not as much as other coaches because he is new to the world of coaching so it is quite natural if he starts concocting from scratch so that next season Dortmund runs well so I think the final results and performance in this friendly match are not bad for Dortmund.

Nuri Sahin i think knows what he will be doing and how to handle the players he have in Dortmund and a lot of players know him when he was playing there.
An interesting thing i just have seen is that Nuri Sahin was playing in Real Madrid in the year 2011 - 2012 damn.
But anyway for sure the most friendly games before the season starts is testing and to see how far the players are with there fitness and stuff.
Looking forward to see the first official game from Dortmund and who will be there playing.

Of course it is not impossible that Bayern Munich is hit by the curse of Harry Kane who has always failed to get prestigious trophies, whether it is the Domestic League or the Champions League and wherever Harry Kane is the curse will apply to big clubs like Bayern Munich, I also hope that this curse will end soon at least doing things that might be able to buy and bring luck to Harry Kane to get prestigious trophies.

People think Harry Kane has been cursed but i think he has just been unlucky and there is nothing as been cursed. He was also unlucky that ge joined Bayern Munich when they will suffer a terrible season the next season but now people are blaming everything to be on Kane saying his curse is what is affecting Bayern. I don’t believe it to be so, He just happened to be more unlucky joining Bayern at the wrong season but there is no way Bayern would go 2 seasons without winning a trophy.

Leverkusen under the coaching of Xabi Alonso they look more mature in making plans that they will do in the coming season. By retaining many players who contributed or their success last season is clearly a step where they do not want the chemistry they have built to disappear just like that. I think I know what Xabi is thinking right now. It's not that he doesn't want to bother to create chemistry when many new players come, but he prefers to mature what he has started..

He did well by retaining them but when he leaves it will be difficult for the team to retain these players all. The players seem to be in love with his philosophy and style of play and so when the brain behind it leaves some key players will have no choice but to also seek a bigger team. I believe one more season is all they have before losing some of their players. Xabi Alonso is doing a good job at the club and even the pre season games so far has been great i just hope things work out for them well this season.

Leverkusen under the coaching of Xabi Alonso they look more mature in making plans that they will do in the coming season. By retaining many players who contributed or their success last season is clearly a step where they do not want the chemistry they have built to disappear just like that. I think I know what Xabi is thinking right now. It's not that he doesn't want to bother to create chemistry when many new players come, but he prefers to mature what he has started.

The foundation is a basic thing in football and it seems that Xabi Alonso is trying to maximize it. The foundation they have built in the last 2 seasons is a good foundation, so with that they only need to do a few touches to make their game even more perfect. Also the players they have can be said to be even and actually if the coach can be observant, it is the even squad that can have very strong strength.

When Bayer Leverkusen were doing great last season one thing that was the concern of some fans was that even if they have won the league and the domestic cup they wouldn’t be able to compete the following season, this is because of the reason that most of these clubs usually lose their best players and even manager to other top clubs in the next summer. But this time around it looks exactly like Leverkusen will be different, their first big story to me was the ability to retain the manager Xabi Alonso I think he has been instrumental in decision of many players still staying, had he jumped the ship when the top clubs came coming I believe most players will have also left.

Although the transfer window hasn’t closed but I like the idea that Bayer Leverkusen are not looking to cash in on their players yet, even though the risk is there that if they don’t do well this season some of these players will have their market value reduced but it is huge risk that if it pays off and they have another great season again it will position the club at a greater height.

Defense is indeed something that Dortmund needs to fix before they start the new season, I see Dortmund's pre-season matches are not too good they always concede goals from weaker clubs, it's useless if they have a good attack line but their defense is weak then their opponents will know their weaknesses and create strategies to defeat Dortmund.

Dortmund are not going great on this preseason games but same is to other big clubs to in Europe, Manchester city haven’t own a single game this pre season and not much fuss about it. Although I wouldn’t say they are a complete team yet but if you ask me they have at players that are capable of playing well just that team isn’t yet coordinated to me. The only position I think they need to take a very good look at is the left back position which is left open due to the departure of loanee Ian Matsen, i was hoping they would retain the player but they didn’t and now they need a replacement for him. The center back options are ok for me, Schlotterback, Hummels and a very fit Sule will be great if they are injury free. They also need to look for a second defensive midfielder to reduce the pressure on Emre Can

If seen from that side it is quite real that even the England national team itself did not succeed in getting the Euro trophy this year even though they had made it to the final and England's reply goal only happened after Harry Kane left the final match. This is really strange but real because a big club like Bayern Munich who used to always dominate the Bundesliga by winning more trophies in the Bundesliga had to feel that last season when Harry Kane was already at Bayern Munich, but I am not so sure that such a curse will continue on Bayern Munich next season.

I don't understand what you mean by a curse, I can't remember anyone laying a curse on Bayern Munich, not winning the bundesliga  which they did won almost every season in the las season, isn't enough reason to see them like they aren't probably successful enough with their game or making it loik like they are u der a kind of spell or something. It was only a normal thing that at a point, a team will not be able to really win the league title even if they have successfully winning over the years and having Harry Kane wasn't an assurance to that so he wouldn't be blamed.

This is what many people are talking about when Bayern Munich could not defend the title because it was thought that Harry Kane was in it. I myself do not believe in something like this and I just think of it as a joke. We cannot always see a team continuously defending the title, there are times when they have to fail to defend it. It's just that at the same time Harry Kane came, so many people associated it with Harry Kane's presence and started calling it a curse. Actually in football this is something very common, there are teams that dominate but in certain seasons they have to fail. Moreover, in terms of play, the player who is considered to be carrying a curse played very well with Bayern Munich.

He did well by retaining them but when he leaves it will be difficult for the team to retain these players all. The players seem to be in love with his philosophy and style of play and so when the brain behind it leaves some key players will have no choice but to also seek a bigger team. I believe one more season is all they have before losing some of their players. Xabi Alonso is doing a good job at the club and even the pre season games so far has been great i just hope things work out for them well this season.

It makes sense when players choose to stay because they will still be with Xabi Alonso this season, they already know what Xabi wants so they want to help to realize success with Leverkusen. Moreover, they will also be in the highest competition of European football so they don't need to bother looking for a team that can take them there, because their previous team was able to take them to the Champions League, of course it's all because of the hard work of all the players and also the coaching staff and don't forget the management behind the scenes. They will try to realize that dream, they don't need to be champions they just need to show their best and be able to go far in the Champions League.

True, Nuri Sahin is still very new in his coaching career but anyway, previously Nuri Sahin also served as Dortmund assistant coach even though he is still relatively new too, because Nuri Sahin became Dortmund assistant coach also occurred in January 2024. But in the middle of this year or for next season, Nuri Sahin was appointed head coach of Dortmund and not only that. Because anyway, it looks like Dortmund also really entrusted Nuri Sahin, because Dortmund also gave Nuri Sahin a contract until 2027.

Obviously, I think it's a lot of confidence to give Nuri Sahin the opportunity to become the head coach of Dortmund. And not only that, because the fact is that Nuri Sahin is also a Dortmund legend,  even though Nuri Sahin has played several times at different clubs. But anyway, the fact is that when he was a player too that Nuri Sahin played more for Dortmund. Thus, it is possible that Nuri Sahin understands Dortmund very well, so Dortmund did not hesitate to give a contract for a long period of time too.

I've seen kindergarten soccer teams with better defense than Dortmund right now. Giving up goals left and right? Even against teams we should be spanking? Thats not just bad, folks, thats embarrassing. Sure, you can say these games are just for practice, but this isnt some kids' league. This is the big time. And if you want to win trophies, not just show up for the photo ops, you gotta fix this mess.

This needs a total overhaul: new blood, new tactics, new everything. Defense wins championships. And if Dortmund keep playing like this, next season will be bad

The fans are watching. The world is watching. And some are tired of the same old song. Make some changes, and make them fast. The clock is ticking, and the goalposts are wide open. Dont let another season slip through your fingers because you couldn't keep the ball out of your own net.

The club have been able to maintain some of the key players that made last season a memorable one. They have also brought in a few players like Martin Terrier, Aleix García, and Jeanuël Belocian. Some talented academy players have also been promoted to the senior team. Xabi Alonso also made an uncommon decision to remain with the club even when he had better offers from some of the best clubs in the world. Everyone will be looking out for Bayer Leverkusen both in the Bundesliga and the Champion League because of their exploits last season. But I am not sure that they will be able to replicate last season's performance.

Dortmund are not going great on this preseason games but same is to other big clubs to in Europe, Manchester city haven’t own a single game this pre season and not much fuss about it. Although I wouldn’t say they are a complete team yet but if you ask me they have at players that are capable of playing well just that team isn’t yet coordinated to me.

Considering the goals Borussia Dortmund conceded in two games, I am afraid they might not be in a good position to compete for trophies this season. Yes, preseason shouldn't be used as a yardstick to predict how the season will play out. But a club that conceded seven goals playing with some lowly rated clubs, should work hard on its defense. If they have players who are injured, the transfer window is still open. They can buy some good players based on their budget. They shouldn't gamble with players because other teams are preparing heavily for this season's campaigns.

The result of a friendly match is not always important for a team, its players and coaches. Friendly matches are not really good as a benchmark for assessing team performance, in fact you should not gamble on them because the risk of losing is higher than in official matches. If one wanted to judge the team's performance, then they would have to wait until the season officially started. All teams will play seriously because victory is the ultimate goal.

Friendly matches are nothing more than just entertainment matches during pre-season. The coach only gives a little time to the main players in such matches so that each player avoids the risk of injury, so I don't think the result of the match can be considered important.
