Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[mamesso]

Not the best performance by Leverkusen in the Champions League tonight. They lost 2-1 against strong Atletico despite having one player advantage (due to Atletico's red card)) from the 25th minute and taking a lead at the end of the 1st half.
If they were to win, they would pretty much guarantee themselves advance to the next stage, but now they'd have to win the last round against Sparta Prague, which they probably will though.

Sometimes I am amazed by Alonso performance, they always appear solid and often make winning comebacks when playing in the Bundesliga. This time I saw something very different, they had the advantage in numbers since the first half and managed to close the first half with a 1-0 win, but Atletico was able to turn things around and end the match in a dramatic victory.
In my opinion, he is not yet the right person to replace Ancelotti at Real Madrid because his quality has not been tested in European competitions, last season Leverkusen was also slaughtered by Atalanta in the UEL. The huge demands at Real Madrid will keep him under constant pressure.

Bayern Munich will not be overtaken by Bayer Leverkusen in one match because the difference between them is currently four points, but Bayern Munich should not make mistakes in order not to close the gap. Actually, when we look at their Bundesliga goals, Bayern Munich does not make mistakes easily. They play well. They may sometimes get bad results, but that does not mean that the game they play is bad. They play a game that I really like. In my opinion, Bayern Munich is the biggest candidate for the championship in the Bundesliga this year.

Bayern Munich is four points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen which gives them safe lead but they still need to be careful and not make mistakes. However looking at how well they have played in Bundesliga it is clear that Bayern Munich is very strong team that does not mostly make mistakes. Even when they do not win the way they play is mostly very good. They play well consistently and that is why they have good chance of winning Bundesliga championship this year.

Even when they do not win the way they play is mostly very good. They play well consistently and that is why they have good chance of winning Bundesliga championship this year.

Why are some not sure about Leverkusen being able to surpass Bayern Munich in the standings because 4 point difference is not big number and the opportunity to be shifted as the leader of the standings is very possible to happen, if don't want to be shifted by Leverkusen, the only thing Bayern Munich can do is be careful and appear consistently with stable play until the end of the season.
We can also watch in the middle of February for the Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich meeting, this will be big match and if Bayern Munich fails to win then there is possibility that the points difference will be even thinner, that will also be an assessment of how these two team compete in the title race.

Bayern Munich must not repeat the same mistake as last season where Bayern made a mistake and finally Leverkusen was able to take over the first rank and finally Leverkusen was able to perform consistently until the end of the season and won the Bundesliga title, not even giving Bayern Munich a chance to overtake so if Bayern Munich makes a mistake by losing 1 match like giving Leverkusen a chance to overtake so Bayern must be careful when facing the next matches.

To continue to be in the best condition more consistently without losing after being at the top of the standings like Bayern Munich's current position is not easy, especially if their rivals are currently starting to experience increased strength in the Bundesliga so that of course it will be quite a big pressure for the top of the standings like Bayern Munich. So even if in the upcoming matches Bayern Munich can lose again, Bayern Munich's position will remain at the top because Munich still has a one-point advantage and that can be Munich's capital to stay at the top position.

Another 3 points for Leverkusen and Bayern, so no changes in the top 3, but worth noting an impressive 4-0 win by Stuttgart (3rd in a row). Freiburg is a solid team and I didn't expect them to lose that easily.
While Leipzig couldn't handle the last in the tale Bochum and the game ended with a 1-1 draw, Stuttgart now got up to the 4th place while Leipzig dropped down to 5th, and will drop to 6th if Mainz manages to earn 3 points on Union Berlin this evening.

If Stuttgart stabilise their form at the current level, they might very well end up in the top 3. I guess I wrote them down a bit too early.

It looks like Bayern Munich doesn't want to give up or make any mistake that will cause them to drop a point, Bayern Munich knows that any small mistake can make Leverkusen the favorite to win the League trophy and that is why they always try their best to make sure they play well against their opponent and win the match, Leverkusen is also doing well in other to make sure they close the gap between them and Bayern Munich, the only thing that will make Leverkusen close the gap between them and Bayern Munich is after they play the second leg of their match in the League and be able to defeat Bayern Munich because their next match will be in Leverkusen home.

I think Bayern Munich is the favorite to win the league title because they are ahead of Leverkusen with 4 points and that four points is not a small point to achieve, although we are talking about a game here, closing the gap will be very difficult because Bayern Munich will not want to make any mistake that will make them lost the opportunity of winning the League trophy.

In fact, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen both have only one game lost so far this season in the Bundesliga but indeed, Bayer Leverkusen have had more draws than Bayern Munich. But anyway, despite Bayer Leverkusen not starting this season well and not having impressive results like last season, the reality is that the points gap between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen is only four points. Obviously, it is a fairly close point gap, and Bayern Munich is not at all comfortable at the top at the moment, because Bayer Leverkusen has good results again with the winning streak it has.

Although Leverkusen did not have good results at the beginning of the season, Leverkusen could change the condition into regret for Munich in just 2 or 3 wins for Leverkusen. I really like Xabi strategy who is currently using a new strategy to maintain consistency in approaching Munich's points so that the points difference is not too far. So that Xabi can bring Leverkusen at any time to shift Munich's position when the right time comes. So it is appropriate for Munich if they are not comfortable with their current position because the very thin points difference makes Kompany also worried.

Sure. 4 points is not enough for Bayern Munich to be comfortable there; we all know that Bayer Leverkusen is in their winning streak, as you said, and with the way things are going now, if they can keep this consistency, I will take the chance that Bayern Munich is getting the trophy this season is already decreasing, even though Bayer Leverkusen was not in good form in the beginning of the season. Now they have already gotten back to form, and they are currently looking forward to shifting Bayern Munich from the first position.

Dortmund officials will hold a meeting this Thursday to discuss the future of Nuri Sahin because the loses from Bologna is really unacceptable for them so on Thursday everything will be decided whether the owner still putting their trust to Nuri Sahin to continue in charge in Dortmund or he would be sack and replaced to other coaches but Nuri Sahin says he's the one who takes full responsibility the current performance of Dortmund so he was ready for the consequences and will accept the decision of Dortmund if eventually decided to sack him before this season ended

Sky Sports Germany announced minutes ago that Dortmund's managers decided to end the cooperation after a meeting on wednesday morning and it is expected that this news will be officially announced by the club's managers in the next few hours.

Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund's sporting director, has given this news to the players and other members of the team and it remains to be seen who Dortmund's next choice will be after ending cooperation with this young coach. shahin has only been in charge of dortmund for seven months and now, after experiencing four consecutive defeats, he must leave the team's bench.

after the end of last night's game he had said in response to rumors about his possible dismissal from the team : " If I am the problem or if changing the coach solves all the problems of this team, there is no problem at all, change me as soon as possible. "

With Bayern Munich current performance I bet you 4 points can take them to winning the league title if they don't drop points till the end of the season. 4 points gap may not be seen as a good point since Bayer Leverkusen is also consistent in winning matches but Bayern Munich needs to drop points before Leverkusen can equal their points or overtake them but the Bayern Munich has been on a winning streak which keeps them ahead with the 4 points gap.  Leverkusen is doing so good now after starting on a rough note in the beginning of the season I think they will only need to keep winning matches and hope that Bayern Munich will experience defeat if not they will need to try again next season.

If this decision happens to Nuri Sahin on Thursday, Dortmund management must be able to quickly find a new replacement before the next round of matches begins.
The defeat against Bilbao was unacceptable, but Nuri Sahin has done his best with Dortmund with the victory he has achieved. carrying out his responsibility, the decision has been left entirely to the club whatever decision Nuri Sahin will accept.

If they want to get back the Bundesliga trophy, Bayern Munich must not make mistakes because it will be fatal in the title race this season. Kompany came to Bayern Munich in an unstable condition because he had a hard job to restore the team's performance after experiencing failure in the previous season. The progress achieved by Leverkusen made it difficult for him, but this season there is a chance if they can perform more consistently until the end of the season because Leverkusen will also try to defend the Bundesliga title they won last season. Bayern Munich's position is not yet safe because they only have a four-point difference and perhaps they need to be more consistent in each remaining match.

Bayern Munich must not repeat the same mistake as last season where Bayern made a mistake and finally Leverkusen was able to take over the first rank and finally Leverkusen was able to perform consistently until the end of the season and won the Bundesliga title, not even giving Bayern Munich a chance to overtake so if Bayern Munich makes a mistake by losing 1 match like giving Leverkusen a chance to overtake so Bayern must be careful when facing the next matches.

Leverkusen was probably taken lightly by every team in the German league last season, with every team realizing their mistake at the end of the season. 

Last season we saw Leverkusen win the German league title without losing a match. Learning from last season, Bayern Munich has been performing well since the beginning of this season, but lately, I don't know why, but there seems to be some weakness in their performance. I have noticed in this regard that in every match that Bayern Munich have faced in the German league, Harry Kane has played an important role for their team. If there is any reason why Harry Kane was absent in that match, Bayern Munich's performance seemed random to me. If the team's performance depends on this one player, this could spell trouble for Bayern Munich going forward. Bayarn Munich and Leverkusen are moving forward with almost equal points, so if Bayern Munich does not increase the points gap, Leverkusen can move back to the number one position in the points table at any time.

I think you mean Bologna instead of Bilbao. It was expected, Nuri Şahin would be fired at Dortmund, which was doing badly in the league. The Champions League defeat was the last straw. After three consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga, Dortmund had fallen further away from the top. Dortmund's goal is always the championship, their place is always in the top 4. If they can't compete in the Champions League next season, it will be a big loss for them. I agree with the decision to let Nuri Şahin go, but I wonder who they will bring in to replace him. It's not easy to find a good manager in the middle of the season.

This was overdue, but did you read who is the favorite for the position now? It is getting worse now. These new Borussia Dortmund bosses are so bad, they want to bring in a coach who has one of the worst reputations in the Bundesliga ever. In Ligue 1 he also failed.

Now I read you said they want to meet on Thursday, but why are you saying that? He is fired! Please write informed posts, otherwise you are misleading people.

Their next plan will not lead to any improvement whatsoever. Maybe they have this new coach effect for the first two games, but Kovac is a coach who has destroyed so many teams that the good thing is there isn't much to destroy in Dortmund.

It’s okay to say that Bayern Munich will not repeat the same mistake they did last season, but the fact that I think Bayern Munich is already starting to experience pressure from Leverkusen and other teams behind them, especially Bayer Leverkusen, is that they are currently coming with full force. We did not expect them to be great like this due to how they started their season;

it wasn’t impressive, and we were giving Bayern Munich sure assurance of getting the title this season. Currently, I won’t do that again because Bayer Leverkusen is coming, and I think this makes me think that Bayern Munich should be careful with their decisions so they won’t make any wrong move.

The competition at the top of the standings between Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen is quite tight, both teams have only experienced one defeat, and it seems that Bayern Leverkusen will not simply hand over the title this season to Bayern Munich, so that Bayern Leverkusen continues to shadow Bayern Munich's position, but it is very unfortunate that Bayern Leverkusen draws too often so that they are 4 points behind Bayern Munich. However, the team coached by Xabi Alono was able to restore their consistency by continuing to collect 3 full points in each match.

Seeing the consistency of both teams, one defeat could change everything, especially in week 24 when the two teams will meet. and even though there are still many matches left, week 24 will be a proving ground for both teams to be the strongest this season.

Dortmund's next game will be in 3 days and I highly doubt that Dortmund's management would be rushing to choose a new coach, they will focus on choosing a coach more calmly so that they choose a good coach because Dortmund's situation is not good, they need to have a good coach so they can recover and finish in the position of access to the European Champions League.

The defeat against Bilbao was unacceptable

They lose against Bologna, and looking at Bologna's record in recent games, you can see that they are not a weak team.

This is quite a tough thing, I rarely see Borussia Dortmund changing their coach in the middle of the season and with a very disappointing performance. Borussia Dortmund also should not be reckless in appointing a coach who will replace Sahin, because if they choose the wrong one then maybe they will be even worse. It is not easy actually when you have to be with a new coach in the middle of the season, because in terms of preparation, it will definitely be shorter and that is also a challenge. We can see Bayern Munich when they changed coaches at the end of the season, yes they couldn't do anything in the Champions League. But this situation is different, because at that time Bayern Munich's performance was still quite good.

It is a tough decision to make but I won't blame the management of Dortmund for their decision. The haven't kept a good record since the returned from the Christmas break and yet again they are losing in the Champions league when they know how much their fate relied on winning against Bologna which they ended up losing.

We never can tell what the future of this season holds for Dortmund. I just buy into the idea of a new coach so they club know and understand that they are just experimenting this season but if along the line the new coach is able to turn things around for the club then it is a big plus to them.

Although Leverkusen did not have good results at the beginning of the season, Leverkusen could change the condition into regret for Munich in just 2 or 3 wins for Leverkusen. I really like Xabi strategy who is currently using a new strategy to maintain consistency in approaching Munich's points so that the points difference is not too far. So that Xabi can bring Leverkusen at any time to shift Munich's position when the right time comes. So it is appropriate for Munich if they are not comfortable with their current position because the very thin points difference makes Kompany also worried.

It is true, being 4 points ahead of Leverkusen does not make Bayern Munich safe in their current position. However, as we all know, Munich has a chance to win the trophy this season. It's just that their challenge is how to play every match with maximum results, including having to defeat Leverkusen to widen the points gap. Both teams still have one meeting, of course Kompany doesn't want his team to lose full points again. Likewise with Leverkusen, Alonso will certainly try to ensure that his team retains the title they won last season. Leverkusen is currently a competitive team, they also have a chance to win the Bundesliga again. However, the challenge is not easy, especially since Leverkusen is still involved in several competitions. We know very well that Leverkusen's performance is on a positive trend in the Bundesliga, but having several match schedules in several competitions can affect their stamina which is quite drained, although I am sure Xabi Alonso has a way to keep his team on the right track.  What is certain is that whether it is Kompany or Alonso will try to ensure that their team always performs optimally, and the competition between these two teams is still quite exciting and may last until the competition nears its end.

Compared from Edin Terzic previous resignation, Nuri Sahin dismissal was not surprising to me at all, because his ability to train is not better than Edin Terzic in my opinion, since he handled Dortmund, we did not see any improvement in the game, consistency and also their chances of winning in every match this season, The dismissal of nuri sahin is the right step in order to avoid the downturn that they might get so on in the remaining matches this season, reportedly in the near time they will immediately look for a new coach to replace sahin and for the next match Mike Tullberg who is the coach of the U19 team will be their interim coach, besides that reportedly there are currently three strong candidates to replace nuri sahin namely Roger Schmidt, niko kovac and ten hag.
