Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[khiholangkang]

What Xabi has achieved may now return, Leverkusen were basically very inconsistent at the beginning of the season but towards the middle of this they returned to normal and became even better even though the first position is still held by Bayern Munich with 36 points and Leverkusen only 32 points, there is a difference of 4 points between them and it can still be caught up, Kompany may be very much demanded to stay far above Xabi Alonso, he has no more time to fail like in the previous team he brought, therefore victory in this Bundesliga is very important for him.

[hahay]

Kompany is still doing a pretty good work in the Bundesliga.    Maybe that Mainz loss was unexpected but the way they made up for that was amazing. A 5-1 win over Leipzig even in a game that Kane doesn't score...

Maybe this is finally going to be Kane's season to win his first official trophy in his career. But there is a serious Leverkusen threat right behind. Let's see Xabi Alonso hunts Bayern Munich down once again.

Normally I would really wish that to happen. But thinking about Kane no, I can't.    I'm sad for him that he has 0 trophies in his career despite being one of the best strikers in the world.

Everyone knows that them losing against Mainz was not expected because there is no point that is shown that Mainz performed better than Bayern Munich. All that happened as a result of luck; that is why they were able to win the game, which was the first lost game for Bayern Munich. Although it is not still bad because there are 4 points ahead of their threat, which is Bayer Leverkusen, if Bayern Munich is more consistent in their performance, then this will be their best season to win the trophy. That means Kane will be able to raise his first trophy in his career because he deserves it, and we all know that because Kane's performance as a striker is already at the next level, he is doing his best.

Mainz's victory I believe was purely thanks to the great efforts they made, not just luck. Because only based on statistics, of course, cannot be used as a full assessment to judge a team good or bad, because the evidence is about the final result. If for  example Mainz was just lucky,  then maybe Mainz only won with a score of 1-0 and the goal came in the injury time minute. But anyway,the fact is Mainz really led with 1-0 since the first half and even, in the second half Mainz again made a goal first in the 60th minute, while Bayern Munich could just make a goal in the 87th minute. Thus it is clear,that Mainz has a good effort to be able to beat Bayern Munich  and not just luck.

All that happened as a result of luck; that is why they were able to win the game, which was the first lost game for Bayern Munich. Although it is not still bad because there are 4 points ahead of their threat, which is Bayer Leverkusen, if Bayern Munich is more consistent in their performance, then this will be their best season to win the trophy. That means Kane will be able to raise his first trophy in his career because he deserves it, and we all know that because Kane's performance as a striker is already at the next level, he is doing his best.

Bayern Munich's first position is shaking at the moment, given that Bayer Leverkusen is coming closer to them, although Bayern Munich is in a very good performance. Nobody has any doubt that while Bayer Leverkusen is not in their best performance compared to last season, they are still not doing badly in their matches, so this is why I think Bayern Munich should do better in their matches and win more matches to be able to secure their first position, and the chance of getting the title will be increased.

However, I won’t call Mainz's success luck against Bayern Munich because Mainz really put in effort in that match, obviously, but although many people called that luck because Bayern Munich was the favourite to win the match, and I can’t really argue that, but to me it was not luck for Mainz to win that match; they played well.

Xabi aloson has brought Leverkusen to perform better with the series of wins they have achieved, the players' spirit that continues to burn brings them closer to Bayern Munich with the current situation they are only 4 points apart and that is quite close. For Bayern Munich they must be aware of Leverkusen's revival because Leverkusen can overtake them again if Bayern Munich suffers failure in the upcoming matches.

And it is true that Kompany is under pressure, he must be able to bring Bayern Munich to be able to run fast with consecutive wins. Leverkusen is quite optimistic that they can perform better because they are very strong with the strategy set by Xabi Alonso. The competition will be stronger in the second half of this season, I predict Leverkusen will succeed in topping the standings and setting a new record this season.

Sometimes football does happen and you may not need the opponent to perform exceptionally to be able to win the game, they may behaving a terrible performance and still get to win the game at the end of the day, especially on lucky days for them. Bayern Munich like we all did expected was actually on the better side of the game and had the better performance and i wouldn't want to fault the loss on the players or the coach as they did well and were just unlucky. Bayern Munich should try to further open the gap as its getting closer and their Arc opponent may be on their back soon.

The pressure Kompany has for now is still felt in some corners where the initial doubts when he coached, focused in several competitions at once and tried to perform optimally became a situation that he could not just miss. But in the end so far we can see he is quite solid and quite capable of answering all the pressure he has which in the end is currently positioned in the Bundesliga quite comfortably with a gap of 4 points even though Leverkusen is currently trying to put more pressure on by continuing to show his on fire performance, Champions League their chances are also still there to qualify directly with the current position and the remaining 2 matches as long as they are consistent enough with 3 points, it is not impossible for Bayern to also qualify directly without going through the play off phase in the Champions League even though for the DFB he immediately gave up in the knock out phase by Leverkusen but in the end that sometimes cannot be used as an excuse to make his image destroyed because Kompany's performance at Bayern is still quite safe until now.

I don’t think that Bayern Munich's present position is shaky. Because if you will go and look at their future games, you will be able to testify that, which made me realise that Bayer Leverkusen that you are thinking they will be that big threat to Bayern Munich, but considering the future games of Bayer Leverkusen, did you think they will be able to win all games? To me the answer is no because I don’t think they will be able to win against Dortmund in a home game, which on the other hand, Bayern Munich's opponents are all underperforming teams. So Bayern must have more hope in getting more 3 points than Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich will not play a weak game that will cause them to lose in the league competition and allow Bayern Leverkusen to overtake them in the league table, Dortmund and Leverkusen are playing after the break, and the game will not be easy, and I believe the game will most likely be a draw; Munich will play with a weak club, and I am sure they will defeat them, so I still give Munich hope of winning the Bundesliga title this season, Leverkusen will not have the chance of winning league this season but take can try and win other trophy since they have already defeat Munich in Cup already so Leverkusen will be the favorite of winning the DFB Pokal Cup this season expect they perform weak and make other club have opportunity opon them. Munich just have issues on Champions league they are not really doing well in the ucl but more active in the league, thinking that they are more perfect in the league more then ucl, Kompany need to fixed that so that they can probably do well in both competitions.

The improvement in the Leverkusen team after a poor start this season is massive, Alonso was able to trace the fault and make quick decisions to make the team better, and the players cooperated because they also wanted their team to better than almost every team across the Europe including Bayern Munich who are just four points ahead of Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
Dortmond is not serious again this season, they don’t have consistency in their performance this season, as a result of that, only Leverkusen is the tough competitor against Munich because the other teams are not too serious and are always not ready to improve the team’s .

--snipped--

Xabi studied what made them stumble at the start of the season and now they are back to their best form and that has brought them back to 2nd place behind Bayern Munich by just 4 points.

Yes, however, Xabi has a great desire to keep bringing Leverkusen to the best possible performance, he is open minded and can also accept various inputs. His ability to manage the team even though he is a young coach, becomes more interesting. Yes, even though he may not be able to bring Leverkusen back to being the Bundesliga champion this season, but at least, his performance has not dropped dramatically. Even though it did drop, Xabi has tried his best to make this club still getting great performances so far.

In an interview, Xabi joked that he was Leverkusen's lucky charm. But to me, he's more than that. Hahaha, turns out he's quite fun too.

There is still a long way to go, the key is for them to be consistent and their meeting with Bayern Munich could be a very decisive meeting for their position. In the last few meetings, Leverkusen have had very satisfying results, including the first leg which ended in a draw. A draw is already a good result, although a win would certainly be a very good result.

Interesting, it will be tough test for Bayern Munich when Leverkusen returns to their best performance and more consistently because there is big threat to be able to win the Bundesliga trophy this season, the meeting between the two is still quite long time for us to witness and I see their schedule meeting in mid-February.
Against Dortmund next month is an away match for Leverkusen, if they can win or at least draw then clearly it is positive result because the most important thing for Leverkusen in the future is to be able to continue to get points even if it is only 1 point, so that Leverkusen remains team that continues to chase Bayern Munich and make this season full of tight competition.

Dortmund is one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga, we have no doubt about it. Dortmund is a strong team. However, if we compare Leverkusen and Dortmund's performance this season, then Leverkusen has to be put ahead. Dortmund's performance this season is quite irregular and weak. Dortmund is in sixth place in the points table.

Leverkusen has not started the season well. However, Leverkusen has been able to continue its winning streak at the moment and is fighting for the title. It is expected that Leverkusen will compete for the title until the end of the season. I expect Leverkusen to win this match against Dortmund as well.

Dortmund is strong team in Bundesliga but they have not played well consistently this season. Leverkusen on the other hand has shown great strength and determination. They started season poorly but have now won many games in row. Because of this I think Leverkusen has good chance of beating Dortmund. Leverkusen ability to keep fighting for championship until end of season shows that they have strong team and good plan. It will be interesting to see how Dortmund reacts to this challenge but right now Leverkusen seems to be doing better.

You are right. Although Dortmund is a strong team, they are not able to play well. On the other hand, with the help of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen is also able to play well this season. If Bayern Munich fails to play well, then Leverkusen will occupy the top spot of the points table. So far, Bayern Munich is also in a good rhythm. So Leverkusen cannot occupy the top spot of the table. Leverkusen is 4 points behind Bayern Munich.

The last two matches between Dortmund and Leverkusen have been drawn 1-1. If Dortmund plays well in this match, there is a possibility of a draw. I think Dortmund will try to share the points in the match.

a very late coach sacking was announced today . union berlin sacks its coach Bo Svensson with immediate effect. the team of union berlin has already
not won 9 matches in a row and last lost against werder bremen with 1:4. it is not yet known who will be the new coach at union berlin.
the new coach should then lead the team from 12th place to the top. but that will not be easy for the new coach either

source:https://www.n-tv.de/sport/fussball/1-FC-Union-Berlin-wirft-Trainer-Svensson-raus-article25455647.html

It is very unfortunate that Bo Svensson served his term as Union Berlin manager only until the end of the year even though he was appointed as the new manager in July 2024, the club did not give him a chance until the end of the season and seeing the final result even though finding a coach in the middle of the season is very difficult, it requires adaptation again if it is not suitable it will make things worse I followed Union Berlin's journey a little this season and I saw their performance was quite good at the beginning of the season and even beat Dortmund but lately their performance has declined I think the players are starting to get tired.

Everyone is still convinced of the coach's contribution even though he only relies on ordinary players, but Alonso is able to rotate players very perfectly. On the one hand, Alonso is also still very ambitious to give a more prestigious title and give a good history to Leverkusen and make himself recognized as a professional coach. So the improvements made at this time have indeed become a big plan from the coach. And regarding Dortmund, I will not be surprised by the current results. Because it has often happened to see Dortmund who are always inconsistent and always fail to compete for the top of the standings.

The decision was made, the dismissal was due to his failure to prove his capacity as a coach. The management's patience reached its peak after Union had to admit Werder Bremen superiority with a landslide score of 4-1, a series of poor results achieved during his coaching made the club's top brass decide to fire Svensson from his position as head coach.
The decision is very realistic in my opinion, the club's top brass certainly want significant changes to turn things around, currently they have gone 8 games without a win, 5 losses and 4 draws.

The decision comes at the right time. It is right before halftime of the season and Union Berlin was 4th in the table I think after 8 games. Now they dropped to 12th and didn't win a game in a very long time as Soonandwaite mentioned. If they decided to find the right moment to act, then it was now. They gave him two months or a bit more than that to fix the problems, but if he can't do it and the management knows that Union Berlin can do better than that, then sack him.

Has a new coach been appointed already or what are the rumors until now? They have some time, but it's possible that they will present some interim coach. Whether that is the best way to go or not remains to be seen, but as it was said, it is not going to be easy for anyone who is going to take over.

Yea, Alonso has been able to retrace the team step by doing what he has to do to keep the team up and running, the team was revamped very fast because at the begining of the season Leverkusen performance was as if they weren't ready for the business for the season but all of a sudden they started winning matches, everything went back to normal like the other season, I think Alonso has to be given acolade for a great and good work done, with the recent performance of Alonso's team, I don't think Bayern will maintain the lead in the league standings till the end of the season because 4points difference is not a big deal and if we consider the inconsistency of Bayern, Leverkusen may surpass them in points soon to occupy the first position if they dont buckle up very fast.

Dortmund has always been like this, though things can still change in time coming but for now I don't really understand the team, as a team I think sometimes people should atleast be a bit sure of what may likely be your result in a particular match but in the case of dortmund everything seems very confusing, for Durmund, unless they improve then they can be among the major contenders, presently we have Leverkusen and Bayern but Leverkusen is my favourite.

In the 2022-23 season, Union Berlin was in fourth place in the table. And this season, Union Berlin competed for the title. However, in the last season, we saw a bad decline in Union Berlin's performance. In the last season, Union Berlin was in 15th place in the table. This season too, Union Berlin is not able to do well. And now the Union Berlin management has decided to fire coach Bo Sevennson. I don't know if this is the right decision. I don't think that changing the coach will improve Union Berlin's performance. Along with changing the coach, the Berlin management should take the necessary steps to strengthen their squad. If the squad is not strong, I don't expect good performance from Union Berlin.
