Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Silence Scream]

I am in shock of how much Dortmund improved over course of last few months. Since they sacked Nuri Sahin, they have been doing a lot better and they are growing to get a lot better results as well. And not only they reached UEFA competitions level (conference at the moment) but they could literally go to UCL if they get a bit more lucky. If they win the next three games then there is a chance others could lose out on points and they could literally find themselves in the first four.

The gap right now is just 3 points only which is nothing, that could be closed in 3 weeks if they win their games, all they have to do is win their games, do not look at what others are doing and focus on getting 9 points in 3 games. If they do that, there is a high chance they could win.

Although it was immediately after they sacked Nuri Sahin that they picked up form, it took them some small time and that was when I noticed Dortmund and said they will make top 4, this was still when they were in 10th position, I just saw it and felt like Dortmund will improve and will also try to make it there. It's just remaining 3 games, although it's kinda hard but if they should win against Wolfsburg and the two teams in front of them happens to lose next week, then Dortmund will move to 4th. I believe with that, they will try to win the other two games.

Even though their chances of making it to the Champions League are now quite low, they still have that chance. I think Dortmund's rise should be appreciated. The team was playing very badly before Nuri Şahin was fired and after he was fired, the team found itself. I think he was not equipped to be the manager of Dortmund. I think he managed well in Turkey, but of course it would be very difficult to show a similar performance in Germany.

Bochum failed to win at home against Union Berlin.The home team, who put the pressure on the match, could not find the winning goal.Bochum, who failed to win the match despite a good game against Union Berlin, will most likely be relegated.
Werder Bremen hosted St.Pauli at home.W.Bremen still has a chance to finish in the top 6.St.Pauli is important for them to get points from such matches to avoid relegation.W.bremen would have had the opportunity to equalize the points with Dortmund if they had won the match, but they drew.

[Slow death]

Bayern Munich has 7 matches left to finish this season while other teams have 7 to 8 matches left so I think the points will not change much in these 8 matches and Bayern Munich will win the league title this season.

there are only 3 games left for bayern and even for Leverkusen

Bayern just needs to win the next game and then draw the game after that. If Bayern wins and Leverkusen loses in the next game, then Bayern will be champions. Unfortunately, the next game will not be easy. It will be against a problematic opponent who will do everything to win because they are also fighting to gain access to the European Champions League. But as a Bayern fan, I am praying that Bayern wins and we are champions this season.

If Dortmund are able to maintain consistent defense to continue to get points, I also believe that Dortmund are able to shift Leipzig and Freiburg who are currently a little unstable.
Since Dortmund appointed Niko Kovac as the team coach, a lot of changes have slowly been obtained. Despite failing in the UCL this season but it looks like Niko Kavac has the ambition to be able to bring Dortmund to appear in the UCL again in the next season.

It is quite clear that Dortmund has started to improve lately so that Dortmund could have the opportunity to return to the UCL competition next season if they can continue to win the remaining matches this season in the Bundesliga. Moreover, for now Dortmund is not far behind Freiburg, which means that Dortmund's chances of being in the top four are still very open as long as Dortmund does not lose again in the remaining matches this season, although of course it will not be easy for Dortmund.

Yes, Dortmund have a great chance to finish in the Champions League zone, and I see them having the momentum to achieve it. If we look at the opponents that Dortmund, Leipzig and Freiburg will face in the next three games, then it should tell us that Niko Kovac squad will most likely play in the Champions League next season.
Here is the match schedule for the three teams until the end of the season:

Dortmund: Wolfsburg (week 32) - Leverkusen (week 33) - Holstein Kiel (week 34)

Leipzig: Bayern Munich (week 32) - Bremen (week 33) - Stuttgart (week 34)

Freiburg: Leverkusen (week 32) - Holstein Kiel (week 33) - Eintracht Frankfurt (week 34)

Leverkusen will play a big role that can benefit Dortmund or vice versa. Leipzig and Freiburg will have a difficult end to the season, which could potentially make them lose points.

Such a downfall by Mainz on the recent weeks... I thought maybe they would stand a chance for a European tournament. Maybe even for the Champions League because of their good form earlier.

But it turned into a horrible form recently.    They can't get a single win for 6 games in the league. What a mess! I don't think they can finish even in top 6 anymore with this performance now. Because the teams above are doing better these days.

Approaching the end of the season, when other teams are trying to improve their consistency in order to finish in the best position and be able to play in one of the European competitions next season, what happened to Mainz 05 was the opposite where Mainz had to lose points, they were even unable to win in 6 consecutive matches.

Now there are only three matches left until the end of the season, and Mainz 05's opponents, two of which are quite strong teams, namely Eintracht Frankfurt in the 32nd week and facing Bayern Leverkusen in the 34th week or the last week. and it doesn't mean that I underestimate Mainz 05, but in my opinion they are not favored to be able to win the match or even get a draw in the two matches against Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Leverkusen. The most likely for Mainz 05 to be able to get points in the remaining matches, is when they face Bochum in the 33rd week, but only managed to get 3 points in the remaining three matches, it seems that it is not enough for Maniz 05 to finish in the European zone.

That's the price teams pay when they fail to utilise good opportunities, now they'll have to work extra hard if they want to achieve all the points in the three remaining games, it's seem very difficult since they'll be playing with top teams in the league but it's possible though it's going to be tough and I don't even believe they'll get three points from all maybe four points at most since they're not in a good form currently.

 That's like one point from Eintracht Frankfurt, none from Leverkusen and maybe three from Bochum since they're the least tough team among the three any yeah it's not going to be enough to land them in the Champions League or even Europea maybe they could aim for the conference League cause that the most likely competition they might end up in.

I also hear rumours that Bayern Leverkusen are considering parting ways with Xabi Alonso. This could be perfect timing for Real Madrid if Carlo Ancelotti leaves the club at the end of the season. Though it looks like it will be quite difficult to let both managers go at the same time but circumstances surrounding both clubs might force things to happen.

You could do well to make available link to such rumours I am curious to know,  because this is different from the very rumors we have been following up with about Alonso leaving for Real Madrid next season while Ancelotti is said to head to Brazil as manager to thwir national men team.

What am in essence implying is that it really not possible as at now that Leverkusen management are the ones that are the considering parting ways with Alonso because getting a coach like him who can achieve such a milestone in such short time can be unrealistic so I think they're on the side of asking him to stay than wanting to part ways with him.

No matter how difficult Leipzig is, Bayern Munich will try their best to make sure that they defeat them. The trophy is already in the hands of Bayern, is just for them to lift it up which will make Bayern take the match as a do or die in order for them to ease themselves from the title race. If Bayern fails to win the match, it means that they will have to continue struggling till the end of the season.

Ancelotti leaving is no longer a rumour but it's already in motion and will be heading to Brazil very soon. Ancelotti and Real Madrid had already come to an understanding after the Champions League exit in the hands of Arsenal. To be frank, I don't blame Ancelotti one bit, it's Perez I blame because he refused to give Ancelotti the needed players to strengthen the squad right before the start of this season. For Xabi Alonso, I think It would be good for him to step in although his only had two years experience as a top manager. I also read that Real Madrid inquired about Kloop, for now nothing is decided but soonest the club might unveil their next manager.

 I'm really interested in this game between Leipzig vs Bayern Munich because it's something that holds a lot of promise. Bayern Munich need all three points to extend their lead on the table whereas Leipzig have not won their last two games and need a win to push them to be able to play champions league football next season.
 As it is, Bayern Munich can't afford a loss or draw cause that would mean Leverkusen will be able to draw close to them if they can win.
Vincent Kompany would want to be amongst the coaches that came into coaching a club and won the league with them but I don't know if he can be able to achieve this dream.

Can't judge it this way, I think Bayern is now playing at half its capacity because they know they got it. Too bad, but this is the same for any league when one team dominates too early.

Game between Leipzig and Bayern Munich is going to really important and exciting.  Fact is that Leipzig has not won their last two games means they will be extra motivated to do well against Bayern especially since they are playing at their home stadium. For Bayern they really can not afford to lose or even draw because that would let Leverkusen get very close to them in standings.
It is interesting to think about Vincent Kompany wanting to win league in his first year coaching Bayern. Bundesliga is tough league and right now Bayern is in first place with 75 points after 31 games while Leverkusen is second with 67 points. With only three more games after this one every game is super important. Whether Kompany can make his dream come true will depend on how well Bayern plays in these last few matches and how Leverkusen does too. It is going to be very close race to end.

Seriously, Bayern aren't playing at half the capacity. See their last two games where they won. You could see that they went all out for their opponents and had it been that the opponent had scored first, it would have been hell for them because they want to lead as much as possible. This period, when staking games that Bayern Munich is involved, I usually go for the shots on target option because they want goals so they'd keep pressing.
 It won't be easy with Leipzig and I want to believe they will not play with nonchalance since it could cost them if they do.

I think Bayern Munich will win this difficult match this weekend because they also have the advantage of the crowd. Also, if they win this match, they will be declared champions and Bayern Munich already deserves it. It will be a very meaningful match for English striker and Bayern Munich's biggest weapon Harry Kane. I definitely wanted him to score in this match. I think we see Bayern Munich becoming champions this weekend.

Mainz current performance is not convincing at all at the moment and I don't think they are capable of winning any of the three games remaining. They have wasted too many good opportunity in their previous games and nothing seems fixable again. Unfortunately, changing the coach is also too late and not the way forward. One thing is that, if the owners don't invest massively in the squad growth next season, they would still end up in the same condition.

However, we must admit there dedication in the first place for giving everything but I think the pressure is too much for the team to handle since everyone is pointing at the Europa league for them, hence, their efforts is not much appreciated. Let not forget that Mainz is still a mediocre team or consist of mediocre players at least at the moment and playing in the first league is not that bad either.

If the match is about winning the title and celebrating it early, I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will try their best to win at Leipzig's home. Although the home team itself may also try to prevent Bayern Munich from winning, but I believe more in Bayern Munich's ability to make the match a match to celebrate the championship for them at Leipzig's home. But if Munich cannot win that match, it actually won't be that complicated for them as long as in the remaining matches Munich can still win in order to win the Bundesliga this season.

If Xabi leaves Leverkusen, then Leverkusen has a very tough choice to make ahead of them. Obviously there are other good managers too, but it would be very difficult to find one to replace Xabi. Not like they are going to pay up and get Ancelotti and make a switch, and not like they can pay 10+ million to a manager and hope it would work out like United and then fail.

They need to find the best person for the job and that looks very tough. They won the league last season and they are second this season, that is amazing achievement for such a team and the fact that nobody else may do as well as Xabi did is right out there on their heads. If they hire, whoever they can hire, they are probably not going to do as well as they did with Xabi, I can't see anyone they can afford and be like Xabi.

Against Leipzig is a decisive match for Munich to claim the title, okay let's just calculate it mathematically, currently the Bundesliga has 3 matches left. Bayern Munich leads with 75 points, Leverkusen 67 points, Munich is 8 points ahead. My assumption is, if they win against Leipzig and Leverkusen wins against Freiburg in the 32nd week then there will be no change in the points difference so automatically the fight for the title is over because the next 2 remaining matches will not be able to change Munich position in the standings. So I think Munich will not waste that opportunity when they visit Leipzig headquarters later and what else is their goal now if not the title. All Kompany focus will be on the rest of the season.
