Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[naira]

After 5 league games, Eintracht Frankfurt are second in the German Bundesliga table with just one point behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The truth is that not many of us would've predicted such outcome at the start of the season. I'm beginning to wonder if Frankfurt will be able to maintain their current momentum and results or if they'll soon be sent back to the mid table. Do you think they'll be the dark horse in the Bundesliga this season or are you of the opinion that they don't have what it takes to finish in the top four of the league table? I'll want to know your thoughts

I was surprised at the score line by Frankfurt today, how they went from 3 goals down to winning by 4 goals is something I really couldn't phantom because I was only expecting a draw at most considering they were already loosing with such gol difference already, getting to the second position a d having Bayern Munich at the first is a very good one, it shows they have hopes of making it to top four by the end of the season, but my concern still bothers within Leverkusen, I just hope they will be able to come up to defend their title by the end of the season or in worse case a decent finish around the top four positions wouldn't be a bad idea for them.

Frankfurt losing only 1 of their 5 games at the start of the season is certainly a positive, but I'm not entirely sure they can maintain that consistency. In terms of advantages, Frankfurt do not have the schedule of Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Leipziq, and Dortmund in the Champions League. So if they really want to stick to Bayern Munich, they must be able to take advantage of the situation. In the Bundesliga trip Frankfurt will soon face Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in a row, it must be very difficult considering the 2 clubs they will face are not wanting to know what defeat is.

The red card received by N'Soki in the 18th minute was truly a nightmare for Hoffenheim, yes because the red card they received was a very fatal factor so that they had to lose after the 3-goal advantage they got until the 12th minute. I thought Hoffenheim might win with a bigger aggregate after I finally saw the red card issued by the referee. Not long after, Bremen was able to score the first goal to reduce the position, even before the first half ended they managed to equalize the score to 3-3. In the second half, Bremen was able to turn the lead around in the first 4 minutes of the second half, and that became their winning goal. This is why what happens on the field will greatly affect the game, especially if it is a red card that makes the game unbalanced.

Yes, the red card received by N'Soki was nightmare for Hoffenheim because it all happened in the first half which could still be said at the beginning of the match because it happened in the 18th minute, previously I was surprised by Hoffenheim appearance for the beginning of the first half which rained down attacks on Bremen and they got 3 goal very satisfactorily.
There was significant change after Hoffenheim played with 10 players, Bremen took advantage of all that to turn things around and sure enough there was very favorable condition for Bremen until they were able to gain an advantage with 4 goal scored.
Jens Stage became the most meritorious player for Bremen for this match because he created hat-trick, these were his first 3 goal after playing several Bundesliga matches in the 2024/25 season and he became the center of attention for all Bremen fans.

Surely Hoffenheim did not expect that they would experience something like this, especially when they were already ahead with a long goal difference, but football always shows something that cannot be predicted in advance. This result made Hoffenheim have to swallow their 4th defeat in a row and put them in 16th position which is a very unsafe position for them. Meanwhile, for Werder Bremen this is their second win from 5 matches they have played and managed to collect 8 points which brought them to the middle of the standings. The competition in the middle is quite fierce because there are not many significant differences between them.

I was rather surprised seeing Frankfurt conceding goals from Holstein Kiel. Holstein Kiel fought for almost seven years just to get out of relegation and return to first Bundesliga. I really didn't expect much from them this first season playing in Bundesliga. I actually expected the come back from Frankfurt and they did it. Frankfurt is supposely competing for the league and not expected to lose games against team like Holstein Kiel. On the other hand, Holstein Kiel is improving day by day despite being the last on the table but I don't think they'll be able to maintain their stay in the league if nothing change. I believe they're still learning but they shouldn't relax. If they survive this season, they will definitely add up to their squad depth.

Bayern has been tested today and they show how strong that they are because they took possession of the ball all through the match. It was juat that they didn't create a good chance of scoring the second goal in order for them to win Leverkusen.

Leverkusen is not an easy side as Xabi Alonso is a good coach who saw how Bayern was out playing his men in the first half, he had to immediately change his game formation from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 after the first half break in order to lessen the pressure that Bayern was mounting on his players. It was a goalless second half and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Bayern Munich ball dominance isn't enough to win the championship this season, I thought they could do more by scoring a lot of goals against Leverkusen this season, considering how they've dominated their opponents this season and the Leverkusen has not been in the top form as last season. However, the Bundesliga will be a stronger competition this season than we expected, because Bayern was unable to defeat Leverkusen in their first meeting at home, I will not consider them the title winner at this time because the season has only started.  Xabi Alonso is an experienced manager who changed his formation because Bayern Munich put a lot of pressure on his players, and if he hadn't used his experience, they would have lost the entire points due to the way Bayern attacked them in the second half.

This season Leverkusen will not be much different like last season even though they have received a loss once this season. Xabi Alonso is still with a strategy that was used when carrying Leverkusen lifting the first trophy this season despite changes in the formation used.
There was no criticism for Leverkusen and just wanted to say Alonso was great as a young coach with his squad.

I agree with you, Xabi Alonso is an outstanding manager, but let's see how far Leverkusen can go this season, as they are also competing in the Champions League, which I believe will affect their performance and quality throughout the season, I'll be happy if Leverkusen manages to achieve it again this season since we're sick of seeing Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga title each season.

The Bundesliga has been charged and now is when we see the teams that would maintain the top 4 position, with the two Lions drawing a 1-1 I think Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen just gave the other teams a signal that it's time to sit up and enjoy the ride. From the number 1 team on the table to the very number 6th position on the table will have to be very serious in any game they play and any team that drops point will have to struggle back up,

This season the bundesliga is getting really intriguing and it will be more intensed when Bayern Munich will be ahead by over 5-10 points then it will be clear they are dominating the title race but for Leverkusen the former champions, we hope they are able to still compete hard enough this season because a with the pressure at which Bayern Munich is going, maybe Leverkusen may not have a privilege anywhere around them if they further broaden the gap by 5-10 points, they may just have to settle for a spot around top four, kompany is making Bayern Munich proud and giving them hope of getting back their dominance and they continue on the winning ways this season.

Yes, it's going to be interesting because there are teams like Bayern and Leverkusen and Liverpool and in this era it will be known who is the best and who is not.  Bayern Munich will brace themselves because they know the position they are in. If they lose a match, their points will drop and they can make up for it in the next matches.  Leverkusen is a good performance and hardworking team 10 5 is too much, less than them will be the difference because Leverkusen play faster and win the match.  The company is with Bayern Munich only thinking of its benefit because Bayern is considered the top team of this league.  If it falls, the company will suffer.  Yes, Bayern Munich is improving day by day and improving good players.  This time they can win in this league and they will like to play less in the new way.

I can say that it was a shame for Hoffenheim. They started the match like the wind and the match ended 3-0. Bremen did not even have a proper position until that time, however, according to the last man rule, Nsoki received a red card in the 18th minute. There was no intentional situation, but since there was an intervention and he was the last man, a red card was issued.
Whatever happened, Olfu and Bremen scored goals after that.
I made a live bet while watching the match and I won, but I felt sorry for Hoffenheim. The match, which started well, ended in defeat. With a score of 3-4.
