Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[HajiBagi]

Leipzig will be a big and tough team for Union Berlin because as far as I understand, RB Leipzig will use all their power and and they will easily pick up points from this match by winning. The visiting team is particularly dangerous for today's match, as they have already left Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund behind in the new season's German league before our very eyes, as a result it appears that this team is now in second place.
So if the visiting team can win at Union Berlin, their position in the standings will be further consolidated because I believe that if this team wins today, they will have 33 points in the German league.

Let see how it goes but I still think both teams can score goal in this match, Leipzig is a club with good form this season, they have been doing well this season even when they failed to defeat some teams, Leipzig defeated Frankfurt in their last match with multiple goals and coming to this match will still give them a good feeling that they can do what they did against Frankfurt if the team is serious about the game and want to win the game.

Union Berlin on the other hand is a sturborn team, they are very strong when playing against big teams, I remember their performance against Bayern Munich when they give Bayern Munich a tough game and didn’t allow them win the game, Union Berlin use to be serious when they played against big clubs and Leipzig should be careful in this game if not the game will end up in the way we don’t expect it to be.

Leipzig is a big and tough team in the Bundesliga, and when they played against Bayern Munich at the beginning of the Bundesliga season, I expected Bayern Munich to struggle against Leipzig, but after Bayern Munich thrashed Leipzig 6-0 at Allianz Arena, I thought Leipzig wouldn't perform well this season. But with the way Leipzig bounced back to winning ways and seated in the second position in the Bundesliga table after losing to Bayern Munich, it is thing of surprise.

When a team is deducted and have shown keen interest and determination on achieving what they want, the path gets easier for them again and again. The Bundesliga is not a really competitive league and not many have seen it as a place to find comfort and feel entertained throughout the season. Leipzig use to be a very strong team and I usually see them as a big potential that can compete against Bayern Munich, but they’ve failed us several times when we least expect them and trusted them to do well. Bundesliga is getting interesting but Bayern Munich still remains the best of team to win the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen isn't doing the whole "get a lot of money for players and then repeat" system that Dortmund did for years. Leverkusen is also spending a lot of money on players that they shouldn't. Just because they made some money from selling players, doesn't mean they get to spend it all in a single season, they have to spread it into many season and find players they can sell for more later on.

They made 230 million euro by selling players, but they also spent 200 million on getting players, that is a wrong move. At least they got young players, which is good, because they can play these players for 1-2 seasons and if they shine then sell them for more, but they are spending way too much to rebuild the team.

But with the way Leipzig bounced back to winning ways and seated in the second position in the Bundesliga table after losing to Bayern Munich, it is thing of surprise.

Despite Leipzig 6:0 loss tp Bayern Munic, they have managed to return to the strong team they were some seasons ago with a wonderful record of only one loss in their last nine league matches, winning six and drawing two. This remarkable recovery is what helped them climb to second position in the league table even ahead of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Leverkusen and if they continue this way, champions league is sure for them next season.

I bet them to win Union Berlin tonight, although they are still without a goal in half time. Lets see if they will be able to get their winning in the second half, although Union Berlin is known for the stubbornness against big teams especially when they play at home. They held Bayern Munic to a 2:2 draw and it is possible they can hold Leipzig to a draw too.

I understand you if you believe that Bayern Munich is always the favorite to win the Bundesliga based on the quality gap they have giving other teams but if is based on just pure possibilities then I think you are wrong because if anything can believe and work on it to get ahead of Bayern Munich then it could be possible.
It won't be easy to stop Bayern Munich from winning the German Bundesliga but their is still enough time for any serious team who are interested in lifting the title to do something to overtake the leader.

On what possibility, looking at the performance of every other team in the league, no team comes close to Bayern, some possibilities are very unlikely to happen. Bayern are my favorites, and i have no doubt for them to end up winning the Bundesliga title, the points between them and second place isn't wide, but consistency is what wins a title, and Bayern have it.

The current score is still 0-0. Union Berlin held Leipzig well, with no goals yet. I also thought Leipzig could easily win, but they seem to be struggling to score. Of course, Leipzig can't afford to let this match become a draw. That would put them further behind Bayern Munich, and third-place Dortmund will soon catch up. This is a situation Leipzig simply doesn't need.

Hopefully, it won't be a draw, otherwise, I'll have to bite my fingers again and again.

Leipzig has made a very good improvement after they lost 6:0 to Bayern Munich and funny enough they have also won two teams by 6:0 which is Augsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt. Ever since Leipzig lost 6:0 to Bayern Munich they have only lost one match which was against Hoffenheim but what is surprising me tonight is how Leipzig is struggling against Union Berlin. I was thinking that after Leipzig won Eintracht Frankfurt by 6:0 last week that they will be meeting Union Berlin with a high morale from their last match but instead Union Berlin is giving them a tough match. I expected that Leipzig would have been winning Union Berlin by now, but they are losing by 2:1 after they played a goalless draw in the first half but i think Leipzig should be able to equalize the score before fulltime.

Bayer Leverkusen is facing greater pressure this season, both in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga, as Leverkusen's position in the Champions League standings isn't entirely secure enough to qualify for the next qualifying round. Likewise, Leverkusen currently occupy a top-four spot in the Bundesliga, with two teams tied on points, potentially overtaking them if Leverkusen doesn't pick up points in their upcoming matches. However, I also have confidence in Leverkusen's manager, Kasper Hjulmand, who has never given up under pressure.

A team that lost the manager that made them the champions for the first time ever, a player that worths 100+ million, and a right back that worths 40+, loses it all and still stays at top four and has a chance for top 24 at UCL? I would call that a great success.

Even though they lost all those amazing names they are still hanging in by the nail for an achievement that they need, and that alone is a great proof that whatever they are doing, seems to be working. I am sure they will finish top four this year and be in top 24 at UCL.

Leipzig is one team that had a lot of potentials when they gained promotion some seasons ago with the way that, they were playing in was tipping them to win the bundesliga title by this time. But they have failed in their recruitment process. They have turned the likes of Leverkusen and Dortmund that only produce players and sell to the bigger clubs and struggle season after season.

You have just given an accurate statement about Leipzig, the team has some potential players but what they are doing same thing that the likes of Dortmund was doing in the past by producing great talents and later sell them out and start struggling in Bundesliga games. Leipzig is an average team that have some talented stars but they still exhibit same characters as Dortmund. Just last summer, they sold one of their key centre-forward Benjamin Šeško who would have been very productive to the squad but they value money than the influence of the player in the team.

If you say that it's never too late for any team that's performing poorly to improve their performance and fight for a place in the top four of the Bundesliga or fight to remain in the Bundesliga this season, I will agree with you, but if you are of the opinion that it's never too late to write the teams in the Bundesliga off from challenging Bayern Munich for the title, I disagree with you because as far as this season is concerned, no team in the Bundesliga can stop Bayern Munich from winning the Bundesliga title.

I will agree if this point if it is about any team been able to maintain  a spot in the Bundesliga but what I feel is not possible again at a time will be with securing a top four position on the table. It gets to a point where it becomes clear the teams that will make it to the top four and teams who will not but will just manage to remain within the league.  It is only few weeks and it will be mid season already so ti.e is really running out and soon it becomes just so obvious teams who will amd those who will not.

I’m very disappointed with the Leipzig performances today against FC Union Berlin I don’t expected that they can find the match very difficult, but in deed with the FC Union efforts they where able to put in much pressure on the Leipzig and dominated the match with a wonderful 3 goals which was as great achievement from them. Imagine Leipzig everyone know that their in a good form this season, because they’ve been doing well in almost all of their games that they’ve play so far; but due to their inconsistency they lose to a that are not powerful.

[Dzwaafu11]

RB Leipzig has been one of the most consistent teams this season apart from Bayern Munich, even though both are in first and second place in the Bundesliga standings, the difference in points between them is very significant. The 6-0 victory over Frankfurt can boost the players' confidence to maintain their consistent performance, especially since their position in second place is not yet secure because they are only one point behind Dortmund who are in third place.
Finishing second would be a source of pride for Leipzig and would also secure a place in the Champions League next season, but that's all they can do considering their squad depth isn't yet capable of matching Bayern Munich quality.

It's funny that half of Leipzig's losses and half of their goals conceded came in the first round, where Bayern Munich thrashed them 6-0 
But after such a terrible start, they were able to soar very high. I don't think there's much difference between 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th place, since the bottom line is the same: a ticket to the Champions League. Leipzig is currently in a very strong position in this regard, with a six-point lead over 5th place.

Leipzig is a strong team. But they loose to union Berlin this evening, the game was really tough, but it’s a surprise to see that Union Berlin scored three goals while Leipzig who are at the second position, it’s really surprising, I expected that even if Union Berlin will score gaols, it shouldn’t be this much against Leipzig who are sitting at the top two of the Bundesliga table. Leipzig need to work on their  team, if the continue like this they will loose their position.

So Leipzig isn't a strong enough team after all. They have an expensive squad, but you can't say they play very well. Union Berlin was a team they should have beaten, but they couldn't manage it. Now they'll lose second place too. Dortmund is already a stronger team. Even if no one can catch Bayern, Dortmund is still the biggest contender for second place in the Bundesliga. We'll see in the Freiburg match, but as in the last 7 times, Dortmund is highly likely to win again.

I turned off the TV when the first half was over because there was nothing interesting to show from both teams, especially Leipzig, who was the favorite team here, had difficulty developing the game, but the surprise came in the second half after I got the notification, not quite believed it turned out the surprise came from Union, they played like they were playing against a relegation team, it was annoying why Leipzig played like that, it seemed Leipzig underestimated their opponent today.

[TelolettOm]

As for Dortmund, unfortunately, they didn't play optimally this time. Borussia Dortmund played with a strong offensive style and threatened Dortmund. The Dortmund players were disappointed, but they failed to win, as Glimt was also indeed better in terms of play and possession. But fortunately, they only shared the point.

I do not like the fact that Dortmund is beginning to tred the path of inconsistency so well recently, I usually suppose they will be like Bayern Munich because they did have that form like them, Leverkusen was only building such in recent times ap it did not seem to me like they should be given the expectations of looking like Munich someday, anyways Dortmund did slacked at some point in this game and got this poor result.

Unfortunately, Dortmund is still inconsistent in every match. Their performance is sometimes good, but sometimes quite unsatisfactory. In the DFB-Pokal, they lost to Leverkusen. Dortmund even faced Leverkusen in the Bundesliga before, but lost in the DFB-Pokal. Well, they'll see how they perform in the next match against SC Freiburg tomorrow.

By the way, the opening match is Union Berlin vs. Leipzig.
I was quite surprised that Berlin defeated Leipzig 3-1. So, if Dortmund wins, Leipzig will be replaced by Dortmund as the second-placed team.

You are right in being disappointed at Leipzig. It is good point that team that has such expensive squad should have easily beaten Union Berlin, and it shows issue with team not playing all time. This failure means that Leipzig will probably lose their second position since Borussia Dortmund is better team and main club that will be competing to secure same position after Bayern Munich. Since Dortmund has won past 7 matches against Freiburg, they are given chance to win again and this will see them secure second position, which will show that Leipzig is not spending much of money to get its results.

Dortmund even faced Leverkusen in the Bundesliga before, but lost in the DFB-Pokal. Well, they'll see how they perform in the next match against SC Freiburg tomorrow.

Borussia Dortmund is having not good time in last few years still they are having enough space to keep themselves into top ranks, currently they are at 3rd spot in Champions league from their struggling position of out of top 8 due to their poor result against Bodo/Glimt.

In last three games, they are having 1 win 1 lost and 1 draw meant they are not playing good soccer which giving them better results, they are having some defensive issues and these are needed to be settled because second half could be more competitive in all competitions. This will be challenging for them, changes are high for them to have second spot in Bundesliga while they need good result in Champions league as well.

Union Berlin is underdog team this season after success stopping winning trend performance of Bayern Munich last night made RB Leipzig loss three points and giving advantage for Bayern Munich have many points remaining. Seems impossible the middle standings team Union Berlin success defeating the 2nd position team RB Leipzig has consistent performance for last several games and good capital last match when defeating Frankfurt 6-0 not enough yet avoid loss from Union Berlin.
Last night, Union Berlin not dominance with ball possession but playing effective by creating many shots on goals than RB Leipzig, Union success creating 6 shots on target and scoring 3 goals than Leipzig only has attempt with 3 shot on target. Loss three points make Leipzig possibility drop to 3rd position if Dortmund can get victory against Freiburg at tomorrow match behind 1 points remaining from Leipzig.

[ajanwalker]

Union Berlin won 3-1, but goalkeeper Rönnow's contribution to this victory was immense. He made several crucial saves when the score was 0-0. If Leipzig had scored in those situations, they would have easily won the match.
In the second half, Union Berlin scored the first goal, taking a 1-0 lead. Leipzig responded quickly, leveling the score at 1-1.
Three minutes later, Ansah scored again for Berlin, making it 2-1.
While Leipzig pressed for an equalizer, they left large gaps in their defense. In the 90+3rd minute, Skarke scored the goal that sealed the 3 points for Union Berlin.
Union Berlin 3-1 Leipzig

Last season, we saw Union Berlin not playing consistently, getting many poor results. But this season, they seem to be trying harder, though we will have to see how they maintain their performance consistently. Union Berlin still seems to need to improve their defense to be more solid. Hopefully, this season they are lucky enough to remain consistent.
