Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[quote autho

In as much as you may not want to consider Dortmund as a contender for the German title, they are the next best contender after Bayern Munich in that league, only that the point difference is just much and they may no longer want to chase it but that second spot in the table is a good one they will want to maintain so it can be stressing to them having  these series of games to play in a multiple at a time.

Dortmund is fighting  for the title. Now the team is in very good form. Their overall  performance is stable. The team has been  able to continue the winning streak for quite some time. But even then it is very difficult to win the title by competing with munich.
Dortmund will  play against leipzig and bayern munich in the next two matches of the bundesliga. If the team is able to win both these matches then they have a chance of winning the title. Dortmund is still  .6 points behind Munich. So if they cannot beat munich then they will have to give up their hopes of winning the title.

Yes, it seems that Dortmund are fighting for the Bundesliga title. With the way they are currently performing, they are doing everything possible to stay consistent and keep closing the gap in points between them and Bayern Munich. However, I am not sure maybe Bayern Munich will slip up and give Dortmund that opportunity.Right from the beginning of the season, Bayern Munich were the favorite team to win the Bundesliga title, and even now they are still the favorites based on their current form and the quality of players they have. It might take some luck for Dortmund to win the Bundesliga this season because they were not well prepared from the start. At the beginning of the season, they were struggling in matches and dropping important points.In fact, Dortmund do not usually push this hard in the Bundesliga because they sometimes lose focus on the league and focus more on the Champions League. But this time around, it seems they are trying to maintain consistency in both competitions.

Dortmund beating Atalanta 2-0 in the Champions League with an 18 year old playing his debut and keeping a clean sheet?? That doesn't happen at a "struggling" club. Kovac is doing something real here. The guy rotates all the time, people complain about it, but the team wins.

And yes Bayern have the money advantage, the squad depth, the everything. We know. But they lost to Augsburg this last month. A nothing game, mid-table Augsburg and they lost. Signal Iduna Park the 28th though. That crowd. That atmosphere. I've seen Bayern buckle there before and I'll believe it again until I am done. If Dortmund win that game... Everything changes. Mentally more than mathematically.

If Borussia Dortmund manages to beat Bayern Munich, the league will reach a different level. If Bayern Munich loses, they may suffer a loss of morale and experience a series of dropped points. In this case, Borussia Dortmund could become a more serious contender for the top spot. Therefore, everything depends on Dortmund winning their match. If Dortmund wins, we could enter a very exciting period in the Bundesliga.

[Adams0001]

Borussia Dortmund have been doing very well so far, but their potential for the remainder of the season remains questionable. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are the biggest favorites for the Bundesliga title, averaging four goals per game. They also currently hold a six-point lead over second-placed Dortmund. We know there are tough matches in the Bundesliga, but for Bayern Munich, there aren't many.

Dortmund are doing very well currently but they have fuckup since from the begging of the season that will be very difficult for them to overtake bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table this season. With how Bayern Munich are playing in the league competition that should have show that they are they the favorite to win the the league title this time around. Dortmund usually lose to title every season I don't really know why they are not improving to chase the title they will always qualify for the Champions League and play every season but thy can't win the league. I can't remember when Dortmund achieve the Bundesliga title last. This season have gone far already and nothing can make Munich drop point and lose like three games in a role that can't happen, they will always find a way to win.

Yes, that's right because if that happens the points difference between them will be 3 points, which means Dortmund chances of winning the championship will increase, but will that happen? Because in reality, it is difficult for them to beat Bayern Munich when Bayern are in their best condition this season, one possible result for Dortmund is to realistically share the points. Now to get to that match, Dortmund must first overcome another obstacle, beating Leipzig, which they should be able to do considering Leipzig form, but it's still not as simple as it seems on paper.

[Abu-Naim]

Dortmund is now in for and am sure that they are becoming a threat to even bayern Munich because it seems like they are closing in on bayern Munich now the gap is just six point and if bayern Munich is not careful they need to be worry some of Dortmund if not they will make it hard for them because from what bayern Munich have been playing there trust is dropping gradually because Dortmund are having five straight wins, bayern have only three wins very unlike them, leipzig win find it very difficult to win Dortmund especially now that they are in form, just that nothing have changed anything that bayern is still the one leading so we have to wait and also see what bayern Munich is also up to because the same time we can not underestimate the from what they are doing maybe they don't want to stretch there self too much.

Despite the fact that Bayern Munich has lost one game in the entire competition to stop their unbeaten run of the season in an aim to break Leverkusen’s record, I never see any team that appears as a threat to them in the title race this season.
I know how Dortmund had also improved, and I know the points gap is not more large because it’s just six points, I don’t think Bayern Munich will lose the league to Dortmund because Vincent Kompany won it last year and I am very sure they can win it ahead of Dortmund.

Vincent Kompany is here to make history for Bayern Munich, he can do the same as You Pep Guardiola did at Manchester City, I think Kompany will do that in the Bundesliga because no much competition as it is in the EPL and maybe Laliga.

[AGogi2003]

Dortmund will actually try everything possible to see that they occupy the top spot of the Bundesliga so as to win the Bundesliga title,  However, this is what I actually think will be impossible Bayern Munich won’t let Dortmund to over take them.

As we can see Bayern Munich is not weak, and they don’t really look like they will decline in performance while the season is becoming more tough, honestly speaking Bayern Munich will continue dominating the league till ending of the season, 6 points is still alot and Munich will win more matches to give more gaps.

Anything can happen in football but he will be very hard for Dortmund to top the league table this season. Because bayern Munich are more better then Dortmund this season and I don't really expect if Munich will be losing matches in the league back to back, if Bayern Munich lose today game there next game they will definitely do all there best to achieve the victory, so to think Dortmund to top the league table he won't be a easy task for them this season. Kompany is doing all is best to get the chance and win everything this season, let just see how the competition will goes because but everyone will definitely believe that Munich are the favorites to achieve the title for the second time again, they achieve it last season and now they are doing nice and still they will be favorites to win it this season.

I don’t want to be harsh, but Dortmund cannot occupy that top spot this season. Already, Dortmund has shown they are not after the trophy, they just want to prove the point that they have good players that are capable of winning trophies, which in the summer they will get a good price by selling those players, which is how Dortmund usually do it every season. So, don’t be carried away and think they will overcome Bayern Munich’s performance this season, that is not the aim of Dortmund, and Bayern Munich’s dominance will continue till we have another serious coach like Xavi Alonso, as he did to Bayern Leverkusen then.

Now you get the point, that exactly what I meant when I said Dortmund isn't a contender for the title, as far as I know, am very convinced that Bayern Munich have already sealed the title with that huge point difference in order to avoid a situation where there could be any infringement towards the end of the season and that's why the likes of Dortmund do not seem to stand any chance in this title race.

If maybe any other season then probably Dortmund would still stand a chance at the toilet but for case like this I don't think Dortmund stands a fighting chance at the title because Bayern Munich have already clinched the league, I mean it's something that almost every football fan actually saw seeing how they actually started the season with lots of dominance and winning streak which went for a very long time before they lost to ausburg unexpectedly but even at that they have still managed to keep things well in check.

Correct! you literally understand the pattern of Borussia Dortmund because that is exactly what they do almost every season by making sure that they develop players they can sell in the transfer market rather than aiming for a trophy and this has been a long term pattern and it seems they are just comfortable making their money through transferring their key players to other big teams. Let us not be fooled by the consistency of Borussia Dortmund because we know how they will end by the end of the season. I even have a thought that Bayern Munich could be deliberately losing points in order to make the league a bit competitive since a lot of people have been complaining of how the league is becoming one sided since it has mostly been dominated by Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich is still the favorite to win the bundesliga title and they have the best chance of  winning the title. They are still 6 points ahead of Dortmund. If Bayern munich's  performance becomes erratic, then dortmund will have a chance to grab the top  spot in the table. Dortmund vs munich match is very important for both teams. If Munich can win this match, they will undoubtedly be in the safe zone and it will become almost impossible for dortmund to occupy the top spot in the table. But if Munich are defeated, they will be under pressure and dortmund will have the chance to become champions.

Looking at Bayern Munich performance so far, it does not look like they are willing to give that chance to Dortmund any soon with some sort of erratic performance, they are one of the most coordinated team in the Bundesliga, Dortmund too is aswell coordinated and doing greatly but they may not catch up with Bayern Munich this time to win the trophy from them, six points difference may not look so big a gap to cover but Bayern Munich is not sleeping to let that happen soon. Bayern remains my favourite for that fixture.

I agree with you. Bayern munich dropped points in just two matches. It was unexpected. They lost against Augsburg and shared the points with Hamburg. But then we  saw a great comeback from Munich. Munich won 5-1  against hoffenheim and 3- 0 against bremen. So they don't want to lose the truck so quickly.

Munich is 6 points ahead of dortmund in the safe zone. Munich are unlikely to lose against dortmund in the first week of March. I would say  either the match will be a draw or munich will secure the win. This is Dortmund's home match, so the match is likely to be competitive. But munich is unlikely to lose.

Bundesliga championship is so tight with Bayern Munich taking small 6-point lead over Borussia Dortmund who have played 22 games and have earned 57 points. As Dortmund is having one of its best seasons so far with 51 points and no loss record of 15 games, they are chasing history making Bayern team, which has already collected 82 goals, led by Harry Kane with 26 goals.
I agree that 6-point difference is usually hard to make up, yet Bayern is nowadays under huge stress because of over full schedule, made up of Champions League, that may provide new Dortmund group strong chance to attack. Bayern win would almost lock in trophy, but Dortmund win would be start of one of most busy title runs in German history.

Tight, really?

I really don't think the Bundesliga championship competition is so tight at all, because 6 points are not small and easy for Dortmund to equalize it especially with strong domination of Bayern Munich in Bundesliga. Dortmund is the only club in Bundesliga can beat Bayern Munich as below them, there is Hoffenheim with 12 points less than Bayern Munich is not in the title race. Only Dortmund are in the race but it's not likely they will be able to do something for beating Bayern Munich in the competition and I guess Bayern Munich will win Bundesliga title several weeks before the season ending too.

I agree with you. Bayern munich dropped points in just two matches. It was unexpected. They lost against Augsburg and shared the points with Hamburg. But then we  saw a great comeback from Munich. Munich won 5-1  against hoffenheim and 3- 0 against bremen. So they don't want to lose the truck so quickly.

They had bad results recent matches but they will return to beast mode and destroy clubs in Bundesliga again. With only 12 remaining matches and 6 points more than Dortmund as well as much better goal difference, Bayern Munich will need to win maximum 10 matches to lift the trophy while the task might become easier if Dortmund get not perfect results in 12 remaining matches. With quality of Dortmund, they will not be able to win all 12 remaining matches, so Bayern Munich will need to win like 8, 9 matches to get a trophy again.

[dezoel]

Hoffenheim still continue to impress people by the way. Even though they were destroyed by Bayern Munich 5-1 they continued like nothing happened. They just beat Freiburg 3-0 home easily last week.  

Technically there is an easy match ahead against Köln this weekend. However the odds are quite interesting... Hoffenheim have odds like 2.00+ for the win. They lost to Köln home earlier in the season but I don't think it will happen again.

Without any doubt, Hoffenheim proved themselves as third-best team in Bundesliga, their consistency is amazing in last 15 games, they have 11 wins same as leaders Bayern Munich and Dortmund, their defense and attack are also having good coordination which helping them for securing the third spot.

In remaining part of this season, they need to be having same level performance which will help them of occupying spot into top 4 which is now going to be challenging because Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are doing impressive job and trying to over through them. 4 teams are having same level of quality which is going to provide good soccer for remaining 2 spots at the top.

But if Munich are defeated, they will be under pressure and dortmund will have the chance to become champions.

Bayern Munich is still the favorite to win this season's Bundesliga title because they have the best squad depth this season and they are currently topping Borussia Dortmund by six points, which I think it's difficult for Borussia Dortmund to overtake Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table. Bayern Munich's performance has been inconsistent in their past few matches, and it has given Borussia Dortmund a chance to reduced the points gap between them and Bayern Munich to six points but since Bayern Munich has gotten back on track to their winning ways, I think it will be difficult for Borussia Dortmund to grab the top spot in the Bundesliga table because before Bayern Munich's performance will be inconsistent again, Borussia Dortmund would have drop more points.

In Bundesliga, two are having good control for long time with their consistency and quality. Borussia Dortmund has never been having intention of winning trophies while they develop players and then sell them on high prices while Bayern Munich always loves to conquer trophies.

In this season, things are looking favourable for Borussia Dortmund still they are doing good that helping them for keep chasing league leaders while having good distance from their opponents Hoffenheim of 6 points difference, RB Leipzig is facing problems which also killing their momentum, and they are losing points now their match against Dortmund is also going to be challenging and in case of lose, their chances for staying in top 4 could be ending, they need to be having their best on this game.

I personally think that Bayern Munich was forced to lose to Augsburg or even share points with Hamburg SV because of their busy schedule. Bayern Munich previously had to face Royale Union SG in the Champions League phase. And about two days later they had to meet Augsburg. The same thing happened when they drew against Hamburg, where they previously had to compete against PSV in the Champions League phase which they had to win in order to qualify directly for the Champions League round of 16. So I personally think that Bayern Munich's performance was unstable due to fatigue caused by their busy schedule. And now we can see that Bayern Munich's performance has started to stabilize again starting from their match against Hoffenheim to their last match against Werder Bremen. I'm sure that Vincent Kompany and even Bayern Munich will maintain their good performance until the end of the season. And I see that some of the upcoming matches for Bayern Munich are relatively easy for them as some of the teams they will face are teams they have defeated in every H2H meeting. That makes me very confident that Bayern Munich will lift the trophy this season.

[mv1986]

Congratulations Leipzig!!
On ruining every stat that would have been perfect for this round
- all favorites won, gone cause you drew with Wolfsburg at 1.5
- all favorites winning their handicaps under 2
- all favorites winning at least one half, again gone cause you did a 0-0 and 2-2

Well, thinking back, this was better, at least it shows patterns are only meant  to be broken

I don't know in how far this might catapult me on your ignore list as a trustworthy German Bundesliga poster, but let me explain, let me explain ():

I am playing the Sportsbet Bundesliga pool and it is of course about making predictions. I performed horribly this season, but there was one way out to gain something from it. In the German speaking pool (there are two Bundesliga pools), one consolation prize (an EPL team jersey sponsored by Sportsbet) was for anyone who submits all predictions, but ends up with zero points. And trust me, it is not as easy as it may sound.



Look at the bottom and even if you want to lose all your bets because that actually wins something, Leipzig scored that equalizer after 88 minutes. That would have cost me the jersey if they didn't and Wolfsburg won

[Cossyblack]

Dortmund has become a threat but Bayern munich is not worried about it because they are leading in the table. Bayern munich is ahead of dortmund by six points. Bayern munich still has big teams to defeat in their upcoming matches and if they defeat the remaining big teams in their fixtures particularly dormund,they will win the bundesliga trophy. Bayern munich is still the favourites but they still need to beat dormund to seal their victory.

While  looking at your predictions, I couldn't think of anyone else but Bender from Futurama:


But yeah, he's AI you're human so you went 1-2-2-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2

Oh wait, tell me I'm seeing things, but.... you took StPauli beating Bayer at home?
Come on, you did it on purpose!

[Hanadawa]

They had bad results recent matches but they will return to beast mode and destroy clubs in Bundesliga again. With only 12 remaining matches and 6 points more than Dortmund as well as much better goal difference, Bayern Munich will need to win maximum 10 matches to lift the trophy while the task might become easier if Dortmund get not perfect results in 12 remaining matches. With quality of Dortmund, they will not be able to win all 12 remaining matches, so Bayern Munich will need to win like 8, 9 matches to get a trophy again.

The Bundesliga isn't the same as the EPL. In the EPL, a team like Arsenal with a large points difference can run into problems and be overtaken by other teams. But in the Bundesliga, I don't think many teams can beat Bayern Munich. Their draw against Hamburger was beyond my expectations. Statistically, Munich dominated the match. They were unlucky not to win that match. So far, both Munich and Dortmund have only lost once. It looks like Dortmund could compete with Munich. But you can see the huge difference in numbers and goal difference. This shows that Munich truly dominates the league. There are only a few teams that have the potential to beat Munich. However, I think Dortmund is easier to beat than Munich.
