Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[OcTradism]

Does the current composition of players feel lacking in achieving the ambition of winning the Bundesliga title?
I don't think there's anything wrong with Dortmund's first-team squad. the rotation of players in the team when playing matches that have a short time lag may be still less balanced. the main players on the team with the players who are the reserves still lack the same experience. because sometimes we see Dortmund playing very well, but also sometimes mediocre.

Dortmund is a very good team and they play with good tactic and energy but they just don't have enough stability to win enough matches to win title. In Bundesliga, things are more difficult for Dortmund because they have to beat Bayern which I know are the Beast in Bundesliga.

Dortmund don't have to beat other clubs but also have to beat Bayern in long run, in a whole season. And with their unstability, it is impossible mission. Haaland likely has his last moments in Dortmund and with his departure, Dortmund will lose about 50% of their strength so next season, Bayern will dominate Bundesliga again.

Dortmund only can fight at their best and dream about Bundesliga title in this season. If they can not touch it, they will have to wait for next 2 to 3 seasons, if they can get another good striker as replacement for Haaland.

due to the new rising corona infection numbers, the dfb decided at the beginning of the week to continue the second half of the season at the beginning of january without spectators and thus with ghost matches in the bundesliga

Disgusting. Matches without fans kill the atmosphere of football and turn even the most important match into a simple training session.
By the way, is this justified? It seems that the new strain of the virus has a negligible lethality, that is, it is very similar to the usual flu. Flu epidemics happen every season, but no one is imposing such a crackdown because of it.

I think it is a natural thing that should be taken by the German state football authority now, considering the spread of the new virus variant occurs quite quickly in crowd conditions, the step of banning spectators from attending the field is certainly very detrimental to the club because they do not have income from match tickets, besides it's football today without the cheers of the audience, of course it's like we watch a practice, as well as those of us who watch at home as if the football match looks quite boring, but in my opinion it's better to ban spectators from coming to the field than the competition having to be stopped midway due to the pandemic .

as far as the lack of spectator income is concerned, which is again a problem for every club, the bundesliga clubs are now prepared for it and are not surprised as they were last year, when all the ghost games started and the planned income totally collapsed...

Then, what is the meaning in staying here for Haaland? He deserves to experience a Champions League title for example.

Haaland can make it happen with Real Madrid or any other big team in Europe even if it's Bayern Munchen. Staying at Dortmund might not be a good choice for a player like Haaland, obviously it's not very good for his career and I think maybe next season he will be in the uniform of another team.

I might not have a problem watching the game behind closed doors, although it's not very exciting but as long as the league can run then it will be good in my opinion. Those ghost match are already commonplace in the Bundesliga, I wouldn't be surprised by that.

Apart from sponsorship and jersey sales, ticket revenue is indeed the main income for football clubs, for rich clubs like Bayern Munich and Dortmund it may not have too big an impact on them, but for clubs that have financial imbalances it will certainly make them limp in following the competition later, I think that apart from implementing the rules without spectators, the league board should also anticipate the possible effects on the club later and maybe what is done in the premier league when covid spreads and forces matches without spectators can be imitated by the German government by establishing the Covid Corporate program Financing Facility, ie clubs can borrow funds for club operations with a small interest percentage.

I totally agree with you. Haaland is an extraordinary player. He will not be able to develop his talent properly if he is in the Dortmund team. He needs a stable and strong squad. The Dortmund team is totally dependent on Haaland. Haaland should go to either Real Madrid or the Premier League.

Do you really think that people are more likely to get infected at the stadium than on public transport or the subway? I honestly do not understand these ridiculous measures, given that the majority of the population is already vaccinated + the new strain is much less dangerous than the previous ones. What were all the previous measures for if we again run in a circle?

I think he might choose Bayern Munich because if he leaves  Germany Budesliga it we have an effect on the league because the league don't have much stars, I think politics we play here and Dortmund we give to there number one rival instead for him to go to another country, just like they did with lewandowski,Matt Hummel's and Gotze but  if am to chose destination for him it we be  juventus right now.

Well, I surely agree, Dortmund is pretty much dependent on Erling Haaland that pretty much is what I see on the club, they surely need Haaland if they would face Bayern again, but because of that Erling Haaland would get exhausted of pretty much pressured if he just shoulders the team in winning the championship It might be good for Haaland to just step out of Dortmund or go somewhere other than the Bundesliga and a lot of rumors spreading that Manchester United would be a pick for Haaland.

In my opinion, there is a large chance of public transport and subways than an open field stadium but we can not blame the strict health protocol because this enemy that we can not see and simply doesn't really know when to strike, and right now there is a huge problem with some sports not only in the Bundesliga but on the NBA aswell that a lot of teams their players was infected by the Covid-19 and it is really affecting the team's gameplay and most gamblers decision to bet aswell.

[AndySt]

I also read yesterday that Dortmund is willing to double Haalands salary if he agrees to stay in Dortmund for another year or two after this season, but i strongly doubt that this makes him stay because i think he does not see a lot of perspective at the moment the way that Dortmund is playing. If they are really doubling the salary of Haaland then i would guess that would the other players in the squad also extremely unhappy Haaland would then get around 16 Million € per year which is more than any other player at Dortmund. It's better two have a squad of good and happy players then a squad of one superstar and the rest of the team feels neglected.

Haaland is unlikely to stay at Borussia Dortmund even if his salary is doubled and he should not even count on it. Another question is that there is a multi-way combination with a move to Real Madrid in 2023 and Madrid would not mind if the striker stayed in Borussia while Real Madrid prepared financially for such a transfer. But I am not sure that because of this Haaland needs to lose precious time of his football career with the risk of injury in a less ambitious club than the bidders buyers. Therefore, the most likely scenario remains the departure of a football player to another club and most likely to another championship, because Bayern Munich is unlikely to agree to overpay a lot for the possibility of signing a Norwegian prodigy.

I think so its time for him to move he need to get to a team that can compete for titles i dont think real madrid is the best option since benzema is really doing good i think a team of the premiere league will be better like liverpool they need a good striker since firminio is not the same as previous seasons and with mane and salah feeding him passes i am sure he will score lot of goals.

But it is obvious that Dortmund won't be able to keep him after the end of this season. Dortmund need him definitely. But it won't be easy for them to keep a great striker like him here for a longer time. I wouldn't be surprised if Haaland wants to start playing bigger than this already. He shouldn't waste his time at Dortmund also. They don't even achieve a proper title while having him too. Then, what is the meaning in staying here for Haaland? He deserves to experience a Champions League title for example.

Haaland is a goal machine in Dormund, and If he leaves Dormund, it will definitely affect the club. You can remember how Dormund lost most of the matches they played without Haaland. However, I think it will be a nice idea about Haaland moving to another club. He have to experience new challenges, and probably play in another League. Chelsea wanted to sign him last transfer window, but Dormund refuse to let go of him. Nevertheless, IMO, Premier League will be a good choice for Haaland. He should move to either Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City.

Your right about that , that Haaland is goal machine the most times , but there are also games that he dosnt score .
And Dortmund also won a few games without him playing , they have a good team if all playing together.
But as from media reports its looks like that he will be maybe stay in Dortmund .

Cases like this for Dortmund are not new, because before that many Dortmund strikers and Dortmund coaches have always been the target of big teams in the EPL and La Liga like Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich as well. We can see where they have come from before such as Robert Lewandowski, Aubameyang and Jurgen Klopp and maybe many more that many Dortmund players are recruited to the EPL and La Liga and they are anchored in the big teams in their respective leagues. So, the Haaland case is nothing new for Dortmund, somehow and sooner or later Haaland will certainly go to another club later.

Haaland will need the better team than his current one to show his skills and to get good income as well. While Dortmund for sure will need good money as well to strengthen the management financial. One of its way is buy selling good and prospected players. Many good players come from this team, Dortmund.

You are right, but there are simply too few alternatives. Think it will continue with or without supporters for the time being. The commercial money is too big and has too much influence. Clubs have contracts with sponsors and media companies, so they can't just say they don't want to play anymore. Interests are way too big. Intermediate solutions could exist, with partial public but difficult to maintain.

Haaland was a total goal machine last year.  But this year, he seems to be thinking differently.  Far from last year's performance.  He scores goals, of course.  I think his mind is in the club he will transfer to.  He doesn't seem to be fully concentrating on the matches.  There is a possibility that he will go to one of the Spain or England teams.  If he chooses the Premier League route, he could most likely play for Manchester City or Liverpool.  If Spain prefers, we can watch it with Benzema in Real Madrid jersey.

[tulusikhlas]

Haaland leaving Dortmund could be a better choice to make seeing how he is the brain behind Dortmund success he is too young to over labour himself he deserves a better club either in the Spanish league or English league where he can play more as a team. As it stands the bundles league trophy is out of Dortmunds agenda all the just need now is enjoy their matches and forget the trophy as it's Bayern Munich's again

No need to leave, when we look at Haaland getting injured several months ago, Dortmund's performance is bad, there is no executor on the front, which makes them lose and draw every match, even champion league too, They need him, That's why he labeling with a high price

When it comes to the team, it's clearly a loss for Dortmund to let go of an influential person with his brilliant performances this season, Erling Haaland.
But if I had to choose, I would say Haaland has to leave Dortmund. And the right choice in my opinion, he must anchor to the Premier League team if you want to get tough competition.

It is sad to say goodbye, and we usually see him in the Dortmund team but he will not grow up if he continues the road on Dortmund team, there is a lot of opportunity for him outside of the Bundesliga, and it can not be helped since Dortmund can not afford or maintain Erling Haaland in their club anyone Dortmund will be needing to save up their money for future modification of the team, then if this happens lets all just savor the remaining season Erling Haaland is playing for Dortmund,

Well, they can not maintain Erling Haaland, anymore, the growing financial needs of a player, and Dortmund instead of keeping Erling Haaland, they surely would save up and give up on Haaland and rather change him with three unknown players, but yeah maybe this is a great opportunity for Erling Haaland to grow even more.
