Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

I also think the same, and there's no doubt about it, but if one of the players of Bayern like Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Leon Goretzka, Manuel Neuer, and Serge Gnabry would be injured, then Bayern could struggle, I think that if only Lewandowski would be injured, I think Bayern can handle a game if their opponent is not Leverkusen or Dortmund, and vice versa if Muller, Gnabry, Neuer, or Goretzka can not play and Lewandowski would be the only one in the court Bayern may struggle, and that match on Leverkusen looks like a bonus game for Bayern, and Karim Bellaradi looks really frustrated.

^ I don't think Bayern will struggle that much if a player or two get injured in my opinion. Because you know, last season they were somewhat heavily dependent on Lewandowski and his goals. But this season they have a very well team game. Seems like almost everyone is scoring and assisting. Yes if Lewa is injured their scoring chances will decrease a bit, but not so much that they will start losing.

Greuther Fuerth have only managed 1 point after 8 matchdays. 1-1 against Bielefeld 1 month ago. On Saturday they play against Leipzig. After that, they will probably still only have 1 point and remain last in the table. I think Leipzig will score at least 3 goals.

They started their Bundesliga journey this season very chaotic, losing to Stuttgart 5 - 1. Maybe they were surprised to feel the atmosphere of the Bundesliga after a long time of not feeling it , and I agree with you that it looks like they will be slaughtered in the next game, because the match will be held at the Red Bull Arena. I predict there will be more than 5 goals in this match.

I would say that they simply lack the quality to compete in the Bundesliga. When you compare them to Union Berlin, there is a huge difference between them during their first season of advancing to the Bundesliga. Union Berlin was able to at least get some slightly above average kickers into their squad and now they are even well established. I think Fuerth just doesn't have the means. They are too small of a club.

So far, no team from the 2nd division has ever started so badly.... It's strange that they haven't taken the spirit from the last season with them. They were no worse than 5th place there since matchday 6, but the departure of 4 regular players was probably too much.

Interesting info and I just looked up the overall stats for the last couple of decades:

https://www.transfermarkt.de/bundesliga/saisonstarts/wettbewerb/L1/plus/?sortierung=schlechteste&sortField=pkt&saisonIdVon=1963&saisonIdBis=2021&spieltag=8&eingrenzung=alle

Pretty interesting to have a look at. Indeed, Fuerth is doing really bad.

Lewandowski is indeed a very big contribution to Bayern, almost every game Lewandowski has scored a goal. But what's interesting is that
Bayern managed to dominate the Bundesliga not just relying on one player. There are still several players who make Bayern a very difficult
team to beat, including Muller, Gnabry, Goretzka and Neuer. Those are some of the players who in my opinion contributed greatly to making
Bayern a very strong team. I totally agree that without Lewandowski Bayern played very well, maybe without Lewandowski there weren't
many goals for Bayern.

Of all the existing teams, it is only Dortmund who might be able to make things difficult for Bayern, even though last season there was Leipzig
who played quite well, but this season Leipzig is a different team. Indeed, the big match on December 4 is eagerly awaited by Bundesliga fans,
this could be one of the parameters of whether Dortmund can compete with Bayern or not. I really hope Dortmund can beat Bayern,
so the Bundesliga runs more interestingly, although my prediction not change that will win the Bundesliga trophy this season is still Bayern.

Last season Leipzig is making progress very fast, but now Leipzig is simply struggling against, Mainz, Wolfsburg, Freiburg, but the last season, they come 2nd next to Bayern and they are a pretty, stable team with gameplay like no other, the only thing that lacks about Leipzig is a strong striker just like Lewandowski or Haaland level could join Leipzig then they can be a changed team in my opinion.

In my opinion, Leipzig's performance has decreased so much this year, because they were abandoned by Julian Nagelsmann. I see the strategy
used by Nagelsmann is very effective, making Leipzig good in attack and strong in defense. What hurts is Nagelsmann decided to move to Bayern
this season which is a rival to Leipzig, finally this season Leipzig played at a very much different level.

Moreover, the players who have brought in Leipzig this season have not contributed, and I think that even if Leipzig want to sign players of
the same level as Lewandowski or Haaland, it's impossible. Besides Leipzig's finances are not so strong, it is very difficult to convince star players
to play in Leipzig. If this season Leipzig managed to enter the top 5, it would be a pretty good achievement. because with the quality of coaches
and players that Leipzig currently has, it is very difficult to compete with big teams.

Dortmund are going to play one of their easiest games tomorrow against Bielefeld away. They defeated Mainz the last time and Haaland was also back in the game. And he scored two nice goals too. He is the most important part of this team I think. However, they got a very disappointing result against Ajax by 4-0 in the Champions League a few days ago. They really need to pull themselves together by getting a strong win here. And I believe they will make it.

[YuginKadoya]

After a few successful seasons, club like Leipzig will be challenged by big clubs in transfer seasons. Their players after dedicate a few seasons without titles, will want to leave and find a new higher highs for their career.

Because of attraction from transfer deal, financial income and pressure from their star players, they will lose their best players. It will be a start of their troubles.

In Bundesliga, Leipzig already have more competitors like you said, Mainz, Wolfsburg and Freiburg. They will struggle with those clubs to complete this season with a good position and a spot in Champions League.

That is life, and it goes to show's that Leipzig is not the same anymore, with that 5 departures of their good goalscorer it's like Leipzig has been disabled in both offensive and defensive with Dayot Upamecano now in Bayern Munich, Marcel Sabitzer now on Bayern, Hannes Wolf now with Gladbach, Lazar Samardzic, Alexander Sörloth, Ibrahima Konate, Ademola Lookman, Hee-chan Hwang, Caden Clark, and Fabrice Hartmann was Leipzig doesn't able to pull that great plays last season, even e though there are players that have been added to the rooster I think this is not enough and Leipzig is not really functioning very well.

^ I don't think Bayern will struggle that much if a player or two get injured in my opinion. Because you know, last season they were somewhat heavily dependent on Lewandowski and his goals. But this season they have a very well team game. Seems like almost everyone is scoring and assisting. Yes if Lewa is injured their scoring chances will decrease a bit, but not so much that they will start losing.

Yes, I think you are right, last season they are very heavily dependent on Lewandowski alone, but right now Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, Joshua Kimmich, and Leroy Sane is pretty much doing great and upped their gameplay, and with the addition of players like Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig, Omar Richards from Reading Football Club, Sven Ulreich from Hamburg, both a free transfer, I think that Bayern is fully packed with great players, that is why even without Lewandowski on the field Bayern can surely hold on its own.

In my opinion, Leipzig's performance has decreased so much this year, because they were abandoned by Julian Nagelsmann. I see the strategy
used by Nagelsmann is very effective, making Leipzig good in attack and strong in defense. What hurts is Nagelsmann decided to move to Bayern
this season which is a rival to Leipzig, finally this season Leipzig played at a very much different level.

to play in Leipzig. If this season Leipzig managed to enter the top 5, it would be a pretty good achievement. because with the quality of coaches
and players that Leipzig currently has, it is very difficult to compete with big teams.

Yes! that is another assumption why Leipzig is so poor with their performance, and right now Julian Nagelsmann is on Bayern Munich right now and right now I have seen in the news that Nagelsmann right now is tested positive to Covid, but I think even without Nagelsmann Bayern can surely hold on, Leipzig in contrary can kiss the championship goodbye for this season if they don't get their acts together.

As for the competition in the Bundesliga, I personally still strongly believe Dortmund will remain a strong contender for the 2nd and 3rd positions but to go further in the UCL I am personally not sure for Dortmund. Tomorrow's match Dortmund will play away against Arminia Bielefeld and I think it's not a difficult mission for Dortmund to win because even, the home team so far can be said to be in a difficult situation or in a bad situation because they haven't won from 8 matches played.

[cygan]

very bad news for all borussia dortmund fans. as was announced today, E. Haaland will be missing from the club for several weeks due to injury and whether he will be playing this year will also be very unlikely
in addition, other players (Nico Schulz and Thomas Meunier) are injured and will be out this week/next week

I have to agree with this because Bayern Munich is at the top of the table. And in which kind of form they are in I think it will be really hard for any team to beat them. But I think if Dortmund plays well then they might just get to the number 1 spot because Bayern is only one point ahead of Dortmund. And as far as the match with Arminia I think Dortmund should be the easy winner in this match Considering the form of both teams.

Big bad news for Dortmund fans. Dortmund have several important matches next month. If they don't win the matches, they will fall behind. Dortmund will play against FC Koln, Leipzig and Wolfsburg next month in the Bundesliga. It will be difficult to win these matches without Haaland. On the other hand, they will play against Ajax and Sporting CP in the Champions League. If Haaland is not in the team, Dortmund will lose both these matches. Horrible month waiting for Dortmund fans.

I'm not a Dortmund fan, but I still think it's a pity that he will not be able to play for a long time because of an injury. It's fun to watch him. Get well soon.

Now it will be interesting to see who will replace him and how Marco Rose will reorganise the team. Indeed, very importand matches will be held the next weeks.

Currently only dortmund and leverkusen are the closest competitors for bayer munchen in the league, actually leverkusen had the opportunity to lead the standings last week but unfortunately they were not able to beat bayern munchen, and now only dortmund we can hope to break the domination of bayern munchen in this season, but even so I'm also a little doubtful if dortmund can do it, because so far dortmund are often inconsistent in their appearance, especially if haaland doesn't play it makes it dortmund is very difficult in a match.
Dortmund actually have to be able to let go of their dependence on haaland this season, so that if haaland is injured they can still play well later.

I also hope that Dortmund can win the game against Arminia Bielefeld, so that they can continue to compete with Bayern Munich.

Bielefeld vs Dortmund match will take place this weekend. I'm sure it will be an easy game for Dortmund. getting full points for every game nowadays for Dortmund is a must to keep the distance from Munich.
Bielefeld has played very badly this season. in 8 games have not got a win. despite playing at home, it will still be a tough match for Bielefeld.

Dortmund must take advantage of every game well and at least be able to get full points in every game, especially the match against Arminia Bielefeld of course it will be relatively easy for the dortmund squad because it is clear that Dortmund is superior in terms of quality, especially now Arminia Bielefeld has never once tasted victory even in the Bundesliga this season and now they are in 17th position, but even so Dortmund still must not underestimate Arminia Bielefeld, because maybe later they can make a surprise in that match.
My prediction is maybe Dortmund will win with a score of 3-1 or more.

Bielefeld's performance have been bad since the season started, gaining just 5 points in 8 matches. I bet, they won't be able to withstand angry Dormund who just lost their last match in the Champion League against Ajax. Am expecting 4 or more goals from Dormund.
Bayern Munich are currently topping them with a point, while Leverkusen are 2 points behind them on the standings. Therefore, they have to play carefully, because losing any match might result to them losing their position.

I can't imagine that Dortmund will have any problems against Bielefeld even though they have to play without Haaland the difference in terms of individual quality of the players is just to big between those two teams. At the moment Dortmund is very close to Bayern Munich as they are only 1 point behind them, but to be honest i think the quality difference between Bayern and Dortmund is way higher than this 1 point gap might suggest. This was obvious again a few days ago, where Dortmund had zero chance against Ajax Amsterdam, which is only a Tier 2 team in europe while Bayern had zero problems with Benfica Lissabon.

[Lafu]

In the todays evening game between Mainz and Augsburg i expect a win for Mainz as they at home with Fans normaly playing well.
But dont count of my expection as we know everytime a team can make a surprise , specialy when the small Clubs playing against each other.
Also there are a few interesting games this weekend , and lets see how Munich is playing for the next 2 weeks without there coach.

Yeah, This match shouldn't be a problem for Dortmund to win. They have been in good form lately and haven't had that much of a problem in the scoring department even without Haaland. Bellingham has been very good from the start and overall they are playing a very good team game. Competing against Bayern for the title would be very tough but it's worth a shot.

[Pulsar77]

Dortmund's next target after defeating Mainz is Bielefeld tomorrow. It is an away game but it doesn't matter much for Dortmund against a weak team like this though. Dortmund will want to avenge the huge loss against Ajax in the Champions League, 4-0. I really didn't understand the main problem in that game. Actually, I knew already that Dortmund had a really bad defense. They concede goals really easily. However, their offense is much better. But they couldn't even score one goal. They will want to leave that game behind by destroying Bielefeld here I think. I expect a win for Dortmund by a big gap.

They lost a few key players as well. However, I did not expect a team so rich would be at this place right now. Not like they are having any financial trouble, red bull makes sure of that. They own the team as far as I know and not just naming rights sponsorship and all, they literally own the team right? At least in Football Manager that I play, they have insane funds and end up getting all the big names in a few years, I can't remember how many times I saw Haaland or Mbappe end up there one day.

Maybe in real life they can't get those players, but they are not financially strained neither, they are richer than Barcelona right now for example. This is why I assumed they would get a manager at least as good as Nagelsmann when he left, and filled the team with great players because during pandemic players are a little cheaper. Guess I was wrong.

Nice prediction. Mainz destroyed Augsburg at home . Even in the first half o most everything was finished. I think Augsburg will finally be relagated this year. They only have 6 points and if they dont start playing good i think they will be relegated this season.
