Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

We observed outstanding work by players of Borussia Dortmund full strength football team in the last match because they did well and did 3 goals in that match.Guirassy was person who did goal at 3 minutes when it was requirement of team and after we saw back to back goals by that team and Sabitzer did second goal at 47 minutes and opponent team was in recessive position because they could not do any goal in this match. Holstein Kiel full strength football team performance was very bad in that match and they need to work on their skills because without they will do like same and there will be same result.Nmecha did last goal of the match and he did this goal at 72 minutes and team lie at 4 position .

This is what they deserve because Dortmund are much better off staying in the Champions League compared to the Europa League but the changes that have happened are none other than they managed to make changes before the League ended. Guirassy has been impressive this season and he even managed to score a hat trick against Barcelona even though he failed to qualify for the next round in the Champions League. Dortmund are unbeaten after losing the first leg against Barcelona and have been consistent since then, earning them a place in next season's Champions League and vice versa in their last match, where they were quite good in beating Holstein Kiel.

So this is it lads. The 2024-25 season finally came to an end.
The final table is as follows:



Everything is back to normal, the hegemon of the Bundesliga, Bayern, regained the title, but Leverkusen have nothing to be ashamed of. Some are disappointed at Leverkusen, because they didn't look as good as in the last season, but last season was exceptional and you can't realistically expect them to do the same every year.

Well done to Eintracht, 3rd place is a good result. They really went for it in their last game against Freiburg and won 3-1 despite playing away.

But the real hero of the last few weeks is Borussia Dortmund, what a flawless finish to the season. Looking at their 4th position, it's hard to believe that they had moments when things were so bad that some were speculating they might be at risk of relegation. I guess Niko Kovac deserves credit for setting them straight.

Of course there is nothing to be ashamed for they finished second this season after previously finishing as champions last season so what is there to be ashamed of infact they should be proud of what they have been able to achieve in two seasons. Congratulations to Dortmund for making back to the top of the league table, before now it seemed like it will be a disastrous season for them but good thing they are able to secure Champions League football for next season.

Dortmund now targeting Jobe Bellingham, a big move is brewing for the young star.
Jobe right now plays in the playoffs against Coventry, he has potential and maybe can be well-formed at Dortmund.
He was named EFL Championship Young Player of the Season. He is 19 years old a big future!
I don't know if he is better than his brother or not, but I hope his ego doesn't be like his brother. Two of the same kind in the world of football are too much.

I have checked his stats, and what some scouts are saying. While he is a good player to get, there is a bit of a problem with the pricing, and I am not saying this for who he is, but who he could be, Jobe will not be as good as Jude, and even if he reaches there, getting Jobe would cost somewhere between 20 to 30 million, and getting someone for that price, when they played second division football, is a lot of money and would be very difficult to get.

So it is not going to be good at all to spend that much money on a single player. They basically spend all of their UCL entry prize to one player, sure they have other income too, but I would say if they want to get someone that great, or someone who would cost that much, at least get someone who has a better stats at a better league already. In any case, I think they can make a profit off him even if they pay 30 million.

Koln and Hamburg will be promoted to the Bundesliga. While the quota of 1 team will still be known through play off matches.  Cologne ended up at number one and Hamburg at number two. They will replace Bochum and Holstein Keil. Meanwhile Heidenheim will have to compete against Elversberg for a ticket to the Bundesliga next season. Congratulations to Hamburg and Koln on rejoining the Bundesliga.

Merlin Polzin has led Hamburg back to the Bundesliga. Polzin was with Hamburg for seven years and stayed in the second division. This condition is a good achievement for Hamburg. But they also have to work hard so that they can compete with other big teams. It seems that Hamburg must utilize the transfer market to add strength to the team.

Leverkusen performed very well and am really impressed with the way they finish on the table despite their injuries woos and out of form that they encountered Leverkusen can still compete for the bundesliga title come next season because i still see quality in them its just one or two areas that they needs to strengthen the team like the attack one or two strikers needs to be brought in to complement the existing ones

The question is whether they will be ready for the Champions League, although 8 games (several of which will be with top clubs) is always good and interesting for fans of a club not spoiled by great achievements in Europe. This year, for example, Leipzig completely failed in the Champions League, losing 7 games and winning only one. In the previous season, Union fell very badly both in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. In general, this is a common story for the Bundesliga, where the second tier of teams always experiences the strongest rotation.

I think the teams that went to the Champions League in the Bundesliga this year can play good games next year. Especially Borussia Dortmund's ability to get the ranking to go to the Champions League in the last game is a positive reputation for the Bundesliga teams. German teams play well in the Champions League. It is also good for Germany that Borussia represents Germany in the UCL with this success.

Dortmund may reach the final (like last year) or not get into the playoffs, nothing is clear here. Regarding this season, I would call the performance of German teams unsuccessful - Bayern interrupted its historical series of domination over Barcelona, ​​and in general it is unclear whether any German club would have reached the quarterfinals if the pair Bayern - Bayer had not worked out, and Dortmund had not received an easy Lille. Against the backdrop of the decline in the level of other top clubs, the decline of German clubs does not look critical, but if the others return to their usual level and the Bundesliga teams do not, it will hurt.

Unfortunately, in the last few matches of Xabi in Leverkusen, it did not produce good results. In the last 3 matches, Leverkusen actually only got 2 defeats and 1 draw. I don't think that Xabi's focus has been divided and the players are quite disturbed by Xabi's departure. But they should be much more professional. Yes, that's it, Leverkusen's season ending with Xabi finally only drew, because they were hit by a comeback by Mainz in the 63rd minute due to a penalty kick by Burkadt.

But the saddest thing is Xabi's farewell to Leverkusen this time, in the last match. And Xabi has broken the record of never losing an away match during his tenure in the last two seasons as Leverkusen coach.

I am pretty sure Leverkusen will start to be much worse. Not because they will be "bad" but they have become unbelievable with him and after he leaves, reaching this level would be impossible. A great example is this record, for 2 seasons, he has absolutely no loss on away games and that should tell you all you need to know about him.

When someone is that good, you are not going to get a better result at all, and you should not get a worse situation by being terrible, you become worse by even being good, because good is worse than great and they were great. One thing missing was Europe, because they lost the finals at Europa and they didn't do well at UCL this season, that should tell you what you need to know about Xabi and UEFA.

I agree with you. Leverkusen are just another of those teams that, for a mix of different factors, play one or two seasons at the best of their possibilities, I would say even beyond their capacities, and therefore it's going to be pretty much impossible to repeat those performances, especially when the best players (or the manager) leave. But at least they've enjoyed a few seasons of great football.

I definitely agree with you because it always take a great teams to repeat their beautiful performance year by year just because they are capable of it and the Secret of it all is the money, because if they lose any player they still have chances of covering that space up since the money is their. I don't found Leverkusen in that stage because hardly they compete with the top teams when it comes to buying of World class players. The last two season performers including this was as a result of good manager with good players but after that I don't see them returning to that stage again unless they attract so many investors who are willing to spend on them if not I believe their lights is gradually going down. I was impressed with their performance because they bring a lot of changes to the Bundesliga which make you so interesting to watch than ever before.

Yeah that's a good question.

Honestly I don't feel like Frankfurt will surprise us very much.    But maybe they can do better than Leipzig at least. You know, Frankfurt won the Europa League earlier. Maybe they could get past the league phase in the Champions League at least.

The only team that catches my eye in this league is Dortmund if you remember their performance has been inconsistent since the start of the season but somehow Dortmund suddenly played well especially towards the end of the season until finally they get a ticket to the champions league. Why Dortmund not do it from the start? they should have finished in a better place or even compete with Bayern Munich for the title.

The reason why they were too bad before was their previous manager, Nuri Sahin. His inexperience reflected on his decisions and made bad calls on the strategies. But later on, Kovac came and started to bring Dortmund to the level they should be at.

But at least they've enjoyed a few seasons of great football.

Exactly, even the last season that they won the Bundesliga unbeaten, they were not too good towards the end of the season because they survived some draws that were a mistake from them when they were leading from the first half, and they failed to sign more players to strengthen their squad against this season which the reason why they weren’t able I compete against Bayern Munich.

Alone has agreed personal agreement with Real Madrid, this means that he will leave Leverkusen at the end of this season, I think Leverkusen will not complete for the title next season because they have started to deform this season, and if Alonso leaves, the new coach will take time to adapt to the players and might caused the team some setbacks before they get balance and from all indications, Dortmund will be black fully next season.

Bayer Leverkusen finished as runners up this season no doubt but you can not compare their performance this season to that of their last season's performance, they got few injuries and it affected their performance but I still blame the management of the team for not adding more players to the squad after winning the league last season when they knew that Bayern Munich was getting better players that would be helping them to reclaim back their position which they succeeded in doing.

From the way things are going, Leverkusen may be without Xabi Alonso next season if they do not act fast to sign a good manager and sign quality players they may never be strong to compete with Bayern Munich again.

But at least they've enjoyed a few seasons of great football.

After the legendary season last year, I was hoping they would have a good season this year, but they didn't have a very good season. Technical director Xabi Alonso did his best. He was champion last year and finished second this year. Next year, he will be the manager of Real Madrid in Spain. I'm sure he will want to take some of his old players with him. Now, Leverkusen players will find their place in the European market. The situation for next year is very uncertain because I think it will be a season where they will make a lot of transfers. Also, the technical director who will take charge of the team will affect the future of the team.

But at least they've enjoyed a few seasons of great football.

They finish as runner up in this season’s competition, so I feel they will still do better in the coming season. Finishing the league as runner up is a sign of them not relenting so soon and see them as a few season wonder team, they need to continue their quest for the Bundesliga trophy in the following season with or without their coach. Who knows maybe their new manager may have the privilege to win the title in his first season just like Xabi Alonso did for them when he first joined them.

Alone has agreed personal agreement with Real Madrid, this means that he will leave Leverkusen at the end of this season, I think Leverkusen will not complete for the title next season because they have started to deform this season, and if Alonso leaves, the new coach will take time to adapt to the players and might caused the team some setbacks before they get balance and from all indications, Dortmund will be black fully next season.

If Dortmund continues with the form they used to end this season, then they will be having a good time next season as they will be a potential for the Bundesliga trophy. Bayern Leverkusen may still be a major contender for the title next season even if they’re going to be having a new head coach, that may even give them a better chance like they did during the time of Alonso. We just have to wait to see how the next season plays out for them, but for now, they can still compete in the top flight of the Bundesliga by next season.

They were lucky to enjoy the best of Xabi Alonso, now that his time is over, i think they might be returning to where they always end up in past seasons. Bayern Leverkusen has not always been the bad side that finishes bottom in their league, you can always find them among the top six teams in every season, but what could be their chances of winning the Bundesliga title like they did previously before Bayern Munich lifted their trophy recently. Dortmund should be working on their performance quickly since Leverkusen might be having an imbalance as they will lose both the manager and important starting player of the team, all benefits Bayern Munich to win it again.

[Baki202]

Xabi Alonso has really made an important and tremendous change in this Bayern Leverkusen team and this is definitely gonna put the next man in what will look like a hot seat. The new coach will have to perform and the fans will certainly have some expectations of him. Alonso has actually set a high bar for his successor in a way. He has done marvellously well for this Leverkusen team, guiding them to their first ever Bundesliga title win in decades and I'm sure it will take a lot of work for another manager to get this considering Bayern Munich and even Dortmund in the league.

Alonso did a great job because they are the defending champions, and no one expected Leverkusen to ever win the Bundesliga, and even this season, they tried just that. Bayern Munich are consistent, which is making it more difficult for them to get defeated, and even if Alonso did not win any trophies, he has already built that confidence that he will do something better. Leverkusen is doing better than Dortmund, and that is a sign of improvement in the game. And this is why putting in effort pays, because even Alonso did not expect such performance from his club, and other Bundesliga clubs need to put in more effort, or else Leverkusen will become unstoppable.

I see Leverkusen as a team that is chasing financials just look at them willing to let go of important players in this transfer market this means their income has increased drastically, if Leverkusen want to stay competitive with Munich then they should keep these players or even bring in new players well this is the reason why I say Leverkusen is more concerned with finances. For next season I wouldn't be surprised if they out of the champions league/out top 4 while Bayern Munich will continue to dominate.

There is no doubt that Leverkusen have played well in the last two seasons. We have seen that it was very difficult for Leverkusen to qualify for the Champions League before. But both seasons the team fought for the title. They broke Bayern Munich's dominance and became Bundesliga champions.

I was very happy that a team was able to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. Before that, for about 12/13 years, we only saw Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga. Before the start of the season, we knew that Bayern Munich would be the Bundesliga champions.

We do not know if Leverkusen will be successful with their new coach. But if Leverkusen can be successful, then the Bundesliga will be competitive. Otherwise, we will see Munich's dominance again. Dortmund should form a strong squad and fight for the title.

But at least they've enjoyed a few seasons of great football.

Well that's right. I am quite sure that Leverkusen will return to being the team that it used to be, namely Leverkusen before being coached by Xabi Alonso, who was only able to compete in the top 4 or top 5 and top 6. And will not be able to compete again in the race for the championship title. The departure of Xabi Alonso will really bring sadness to this team, especially for Leverkusen fans who are certainly getting used to Leverkusen's performance which continues to improve under Xabi's coaching. Even though this season Leverkusen is not as good as last season, Leverkusen is still much better than Leverkusen before being coached by Xabi. But on the one hand, it is impossible for Xabi Alonso to refuse a very good offer from the famous club, namely Real Madrid. Because for any coach getting an offer from Real Madrid is like an achievement and recognition that the coach has very high qualities.

It is indeed unfortunate if Leverkusen finally has to release some players who were relied on last season and this season, with quite good performance. But of course, they have better reasons for their club. They might want to do better next season with something new, or maybe a completely new team.
We still can't judge the chances of competing in the Bundesliga next season, so just wait until the start of the season, and we can see what Leverkusen wants.

There is no possible choice because so far they need to create a balance for the club. Losing some important players does have a big impact on them when facing competition next season and losing a coach also determines the level of success of the club because Xabi Alonso has built Leverkusen's strength to be better but now they lose him. It seems that it will be difficult for Leverkusen to compete with Bayern Munich next season because there are many things that make them even more behind in terms of quality and players they have.
