Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[TopT3ns]

I wonder how big the gap between Dortmund and Bayern Munich will be until Erling Haaland bounces back from his injury.

Haaland is a great player and an asset of Dortmund. His contribution for Dortmund is huge but please don't exaggerate the with Haaland, Dortmund will automatically fight against Bayern better. Last season, with healthy Haaland, Dortmund still fell far behind Bayern on the table sot the same gap can happen in this season even if Dortmund have a healthy Haaland.

For now, he is expected to come back in mid December. There were some rumours like he wouldn't be back before the new year. But it turns out that he can. He is their biggest player when it comes to scoring in the end. Being deprived of him, they are having more problems. For example, maybe they would have won against Leipzig or got at least a point if he was able to play.

This is only rumor but this injury and rumor reminds us about the risk of overuse young players. Many young players lost their career because of serious injuries. Walcott, Wilshere in Premier League are examples. They never came back to their best after recovery from injuries. Dortmund and Haaland have to take care of health condition for Haaland and how he should play, take rest at the right time.
If his body is not fine, the club should give him break time to recover.

Erling Haaland is a great young player who has a lot of days in front of him. He is a really valuable player for Dortmund and Dortmund should treat him that way. But I honestly think that there's nowadays should train harder. Because players nowadays are becoming more injury-prone than before. So my suggestion is to train harder so the actual match becomes easier. That way there will be fewer injuries and players will also get more Max time and also stay fit for longer.

He miss many important match for Dortmund because got injury and left about three or five months later back to the field, I think he need to work hard and keep on the top performance after back from injury, many potential player hard back to the top performance after got injury but we can see how hard working from Haaland and back again with fantastic goal. I want to see Haaland can play on primer league and  how many goal can make?

@EdenHazard I want to say I don't think that Bundesliga is the most competitive league in Europe. I think the English Premier League has taken that spot. Because a League is nothing without competition and Bayern Munich does not seem to have March of competition right now. But in EPL almost all the teams really good. They got good players innermost all the teams. And there is a reason why the English Premier League attracts more audiences.

Bundles liga is also competitive we might say Bayern is one of the best in bundles liga but doesn't mean they are unbeatable at least they have also lost and drawn matches so it's a bit competitive even though we might say not as the English premier league but there is still a competition in bundles liga

Do you do your analysis based on data from the whoscored service or independently? If independently, then I would be interested to know how much your rating and rating of the service differ (and of course which one is the most effective, but it takes a long distance to understand this).

This is an independent analysis, and not just based on the standings, but with the current team situation, stats, and injured or suspension, yes I know I still have a long way in understanding this, but I am just making assumptions on what information I can get, if you don't like what I have posted then I respect that, and take this as a grain of salt,

Yupp , international break cost us two weeks without great entertainment at the weekend , such a not really interesting to see international matches especially if it was for friendly or a long qualification matches only. our entertainment thing feel like robbed.

speaking about those key players who missing out due injury it seems so far so good , they are performing well to play without their stars.
bundesliga is the most competitive league in europe despite bayern munich in recent years dominating season after season but the matches is something else! there often goal galore occurred though and the points gap also pretty competitive.

I just love Bundesliga than watching the international league I am just more interested in Bundesliga that is all, and maybe they are doing this because of so many players that are getting injured, and I think it can surely benefit those teams that have multiple injured players,

I try not to just look at Bayern Munich so much because they are pretty much overrated, that is why supporting Dortmund, Leipzig, or Leverkusen just to change the pace, and teams that are making progress with their performance was likely what I like, but highly unlikely I really it is still OK for me if Bayern could still get the championship this season because they pretty much show domination over the 1st division and not relying mostly on Lewandowski.

Lewandowski seems will have no further career at bayern munich , his golden age has passed .

there is no sufficient talent to replace him at the club except for acquring an instant talent from dortmund which its like has become a tradition to pick dortmund best player every damn year lol.
and yeah speaking about bundesliga title contenders .. everyone would of course love to see leipzig to lift the bundesliga trophy , but they still inconsitent , a hard work needed.

I dont think that Lewandowskis golden age has past. He is currently playing for couple of years at the elite level in world football and i think he can go like this for 3-4 more years if he stays at Bayern Munich. He scored over 40+ goals alone just last season. I dont think now that Dortmund would give their best striker to Bayern again like they did in previous years

This guy is getting by the age better and better, people who say he's done in 2 years have no clue. He has similar fitness conditions as CR7 and he will be 2-3 years still in his Prime. Lewandowski is a gem. Right now, There is no point for Robert Lewandowski to leave Bayern at this point of his career . He's already 33 , he should stay at Bayern where the team revolves around him . If he leaves now , he might have to adapt to a new system which isn't always a recipe for success considering he's serving his twilight years

[Altryist]

I dont think that Lewandowskis golden age has past. He is currently playing for couple of years at the elite level in world football and i think he can go like this for 3-4 more years if he stays at Bayern Munich. He scored over 40+ goals alone just last season. I dont think now that Dortmund would give their best striker to Bayern again like they did in previous years

Perhaps 3-4 years is too much, but he will definitely be able to show the best results in football for several years. look at Mühler, that's a prime example of that, how a player can play regardless of his age. But I will say my opinion that a player can play well when he is on a good team. That is, I believe that Ronaldo could show excellent results if he was still playing for Real Madrid. And now, when he played in Juventus, or plays in Manchester, he cannot be appreciated and his level is lost without great achievements of the club. Everything in this world is relative, and big players need a big team.

Lewandowski is one of the greatest forwarder in the world right now and i believe he can keep doing better in the incoming years as long as he still playing for a club like Bayer munchin, not just him but many other players on that team like ribery robben and lahm that keep doing great even in 37 and 38 age

I think if lewdosky still plays for bayern munich i think his form is still good for another 3 to 4 years, but if he moves to another club i can't guarantee lewdosky can play well, because lewdosky and bayern munich are already very united, and they have like brothers in the team.

I feel Bayern Munich have got great plans,he score goal very well but age has a role to play, mostly reducing a players strength.
Bayern should be aiming to get halland from Dortmund this will be a perfect move for Bayern....... having an exciting player has halland is a dream deal for every club.

It was already said in the media that Raiola is most likely asking around 50 million Euro salary for Haaland. If that is the case I don't see any chance for Bayern to sign Haaland. That is about 2.5 times of what Lewandowski gets. I think if Lewandowski scores over 30 goals in the league again (which is very likely), they are going to keep Lewa for another year at least.

The league is only one club that always wins the league champion, in contrast to the English EPL club where all teams play almost the same game, and every match can't be guessed, because all teams have surprises, even the bottom teams can beat the top teams, that's what the reason many viewers in my country choose to watch epl over other leagues..

LOL. How did you come to this conclusion? Using a calendar? Lewandowski is not young, it is obvious, but he still has several years left when he will play at his usual level (and this level is fantastic), I would not be surprised if Lewandowski gets the golden ball in this or any of the following years.

When looking at Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, and Messi, both are all still sharp on the front, Lewandowski is still on performance and the same as I mentioned but he is still possible to move on to another club when Bayern won't his service. Dortmund still has the treasure, that club still creates the best forward (Halland). but for this time they don't want to concede like past with labeling with high prices to block he moves also to Bayern.

Lewandowski is like Montella or Inzaghi in Italy and Serie A in 1990 to 2010 period. They are great strikers but in that period, Serie A and Italy have so many outstanding attacking players: Baggio, Totti, Del Piero, Vieri and some foreigner players like Ronaldo Nazario de Lima. Consequently Inzaghi and Montella struggled to find a position in Italy squad.

The similar story for Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic, they are one of best strikers in history but because he unfortunately plays in the period of Messi and Ronaldo, he has yet been recognized as what he deserves to get.

I wonder how big the gap between Dortmund and Bayern Munich will be until Erling Haaland bounces back from his injury.

Haaland is a great player and an asset of Dortmund. His contribution for Dortmund is huge but please don't exaggerate the with Haaland, Dortmund will automatically fight against Bayern better. Last season, with healthy Haaland, Dortmund still fell far behind Bayern on the table sot the same gap can happen in this season even if Dortmund have a healthy Haaland.

For now, he is expected to come back in mid December. There were some rumours like he wouldn't be back before the new year. But it turns out that he can. He is their biggest player when it comes to scoring in the end. Being deprived of him, they are having more problems. For example, maybe they would have won against Leipzig or got at least a point if he was able to play.

This is only rumor but this injury and rumor reminds us about the risk of overuse young players. Many young players lost their career because of serious injuries. Walcott, Wilshere in Premier League are examples. They never came back to their best after recovery from injuries. Dortmund and Haaland have to take care of health condition for Haaland and how he should play, take rest at the right time.

If his body is not fine, the club should give him break time to recover.

You have a good point there that Dortmund couldn't get close to Bayern Munich till the end of the season. Dortmund weren't even at the second place and there was a gap of 14 points between them and Bayern Munich. Haaland scored 27 goals in that season of Bundesliga. I must admit that Dortmund are playing much better as a team this season. In the end, they can't win titles being dependent on Haaland only.

When it comes to the injury topic, I hope that Haaland doesn't come back as a weaker player. He is going to be out for quite a long time in the end. But I believe in him to continue from where he left. He is a very special player and none of us would like to see him losing his perfect performance.

Reus just publicly announced that he is convinced Dortmund will become the next champion.... Hm, as much as I like Dortmund, but that is not going to happen. Will see when they face each other in a couple of weeks.

Regarding the injury, no, Haaland is a different type of player and he is also much more robust than the players you mentioned. He isn't really the kind of guy who get injured because of a tackle as he has a very strong physique. He is going to come back even stronger. I have no doubt about that.

For me I think is taking longer than expected,I I'm also wondering how the gaps Gon look like between Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
Halland's impct is everywhere in the league and country games.
Like you said hope he come back stronger and better,he has always been although.

It is difficult for Dortmund to be able to win the Bundesliga this season or the next few seasons as long as Dortmund's player transfer system is quite bad, even a few seasons before they sold star players to rival clubs Bayern Munich, ranging from Lewandoski to Mario Gootze who became the star players that Dortmund sold to rival club and I think it's a very bad decision.

[YuginKadoya]

there is no sufficient talent to replace him at the club except for acquring an instant talent from dortmund which its like has become a tradition to pick dortmund best player every damn year lol.

Pretty sure there are many players on Bayern that may Succeed him, but for me, the talent and skill of Robert Lewandowski is still there and the way he played right now is just phenomenal but he will eventually be replaced by the younger generation that is for sure, and right now in the Bayern Munich team they had Serge Gnarby that is on Quarantine and can not play at the moment, Thomas Muller Joshua Kimmich that is also on quarantine, and Leroy Sane,

In my opinion, Leipzig was really great last season, I don't know what happen but the player departure goes to show a lot of things, and there are certainly great players that have left Leipzig on the verge of their success, but maybe there are still chance for Leipzig to make it to the 2nd standing, as long as Dortmund is still in bad shape.

It is difficult for Dortmund to be able to win the Bundesliga this season or the next few seasons as long as Dortmund's player transfer system is quite bad, even a few seasons before they sold star players to rival clubs Bayern Munich, ranging from Lewandoski to Mario Gootze who became the star players that Dortmund sold to rival club and I think it's a very bad decision.

Yes but you have to look at it from a different angle: imagine both are a snowball rolling down a mountain, but Bayern is the much bigger snow ball already. They are gaining exponentially more power than Dortmund over time. That is the problem. The gap already is too big. If Bayern wants a player from Dortmund, they can just buy it out because 1) they have the money and 2) the player would want to leave Dortmund for Bayern for sure. Closing that gap is impossible unless Bayern is badly managed over a longer period of time.
