Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[kro55]

The effective game played by Bochum was one of the key factors in their victory over Bayern Munich. Yes, even though Bayern Munich could control the match but they were not able to play effectively as shown by their opponents.
The first half was a nightmare for Munich, had taken the lead through Lewandowski's goal, they were rewarded with 4 goals. Antwi-Adjej, Locadia, Gamboa, Holtman, scored goals from Bochum. While 2 goals from Munich scored Lewandowski.

I am always saying that Bayern should be ahead like 12 points before Dortmund at the moment and not "only" 6 points because Bayern had some really unlucky losses against Frankfurt and Augsburg were Bayern was completely dominant and had dozens of good chances to score but somehow they did not make a goal whereas Frankfurt and Augsburg managed to score pretty much out of nowhere and therefore Bayern managed very unlucky and undeserved losses there.
This time against Bochum it's a little bit different in my opinion. Yes of course Bayern as a little bit more dominant again as they always are and 2 out of the 4 goals of Bochum were absolutely gorgeous and extraordinary, but this loss for Bayern was not completely unlucky, they were just to shaky in the defense.

I think that the defense of Bayern Munich just got a little exposed and now I Wonder If the other teams can capitalize on this. It's not often that we see Bayern Munich losing like this. But I actually kind of like this because in this way maybe Bayern Munich will drop enough points and Dortmund is going to catch up with them and eventually beat them for the league title.

Yes, I know people will say that I am living in a fantasy but anything can happen in my opinion because we also didn't think that Bayern Munich will get beaten by a team like this.

Bayern Munich make really simple mistakes sometimes and Dortmund have to benefit from those ones to be able to get close to them in the standings. Dortmund still can't decrease the gap below six points. They must play much better than now to have a chance for the title. They should move on by a minimum loss of points. Because Bayern Munich will do so and this would make things impossible for Dortmund in time. I still don't think that Dortmund have a chance for the title.

Dortmund games up to April aren't that hard for real and should be able to decrease the gap or at least keep it that way. In April they will face Bayern, Leipzig and Wolfsburg. These 3 games in particular will be essential for Dortmund in order to achieve something in Bundesliga taking on consideration that Bayern will drop points.

If Dortmund are able to win against Bayern Munich, Leipzig and Wolfsburg, I would say they have a high chance of winning the title this season. But I think they will lose in two of these three matches. However, anything can happen if Haaland is in the squad. He is now a playmaker. Since the Dortmund team is dependent on him, Dortmund can only win if Haaland plays well.

Look head to head between Dortmund vs Bayern Munich always not lucky for Dortmund and never success get three points when Der Klassiker derby. I think still left many weeks later games between Dortmund vs Bayern Munich and looks with lucky time for Dortmund because playing as home. But if still left 6 points only have extra motivation from Dortmund how to broken dominance of Bayern Munich after several years and only Dortmund as team can do it, ever last several years when Jorgen Klopp still on Dortmund success get Bundesliga trophy and become last time the champion of Bundesliga except Bayern Munich.

I do not think that Lewa could score 16 more goals in 12 more games at his age. Not that it is impossible for him but between UCL and having some rest days, even missing one game could be very crucial on that situation. Not saying that he wouldn't be able to, but it would be very difficult. He needs to relax as well, playing both UCL and then the league games would be very tiring and it would increase the injury risk which the team would probably now allow.

Considering he may play like 10 or so games, that is 1.6 goals per game and that is not impossible for someone like Lewa but it is quite difficult and unlikely. If it was like 1 goal per game average required, then I would definitely see it happening.

That depends on who they all have to play against. And if a penalty is allowed, they often let him do it. He has more than once scored 4 goals in a match. If there is anyone who can score a lot of goals, it is certainly Lewandovski. It will also just depend on how far he is motivated to score all those goals. He has experience, age is not that important in his situation.

I do indeed agree that it is still possible, but we should also take into account that it's possible that Nagelsmann also wants him to take a break in a game or two because of the Champions League. If that happens it is close to impossible to break the record. If he plays all the games and stays healthy, who knows. But I don't really think it is Lewa's priority to break that record again. He already has it and his goal is to win the Champions League once more. That way he might be able to secure another title as world soccer player.

Bayern and Dortmund still have 12 games to play, this means that there are still very many opportunities for Dortmund to catch up with Bayern's
points. Although Dortmund's performances are quite consistent, but I doubt Dortmund will not drop points in the last 12 games in the Bundesliga.
Moreover, there are still several strong teams that must be faced by Dortmund, including Dortmund must face Bayern at the end of April.
My prediction is that Bayern will be the winner of the Bundesliga trophy this season, it is very difficult to stop Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga.
But hopefully there will be surprises, and Dortmund will win this season, although I have to admit the chances are very small. Honestly really want
to see another team win the Bundesliga trophy, Bayern have been dominating the Bundesliga for too long.

12 matches to play means it does not enough time left for Dortmund to catch Bayern. They will need Bayern to slip in a few matches and yeah 12 matches are not enough to see Bayern drop too many points.

Although Dortmund's performances are quite consistent, but I doubt Dortmund will not drop points in the last 12 games in the Bundesliga.

Usually they drop more points than Bayern and in Bundesliga, in second part of season, usually opponents of Bayern drop more points than Bayern because the closer to the end of league, opponents of Bayern lose their hope and motivation to fight against Bayern. As a result of that, they lost more points than Bayern. Will it be different with Dortmund in this season? I am doubtful about it.

Moreover, there are still several strong teams that must be faced by Dortmund, including Dortmund must face Bayern at the end of April.
My prediction is that Bayern will be the winner of the Bundesliga trophy this season, it is very difficult to stop Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga.

It is one of easiest prediction option in Bundesliga. In addition, in this season, with a temporary result on standing table, it is easiest to predict like that but I agree with you.

Lewandowski is very good and there is no limit to what he can do or achieve in his career despite his age factor,and I don't really see that as a problem too,because the player delivers consistently on a daily basis.If there is any player that his age does not affect is Lewandowski,.He makes sure he gets goal on every match that he plays.

He is very capable of scoring 16 more goals before the season ends,I'm not ruling out the possibility of suffering an injury,but he is not an injury prone player.

I think it is possible, but it won't be easy for him to reach his record from last season. Not only he himself needs to stay healthy and in good form, he also needs his teammates (like Müller, he prepares most of his goals) to play well. And who knows, maybe the also change their strategy after their loss in Bochum with a focus on a more stable defence? All in all, he is on a good way to break his record, but it's not a given, conditions need to stay perfect for him to do so.

[YuginKadoya]

Why 17? His record is 41 Bundesliga goals in a season (by the way, it's funny that he installed it in just 29 matches). Now he has 26 goals scored, in order to surpass this record, it is enough to score 16 more 26+16=42. Maybe you are talking about some other record or looking at other statistics?

Definitely, he just needs 16 more main goals, but well I am just adding 1 more goal to seal the deal, or in advance to a certain record or to tighten that record of his, but anyway I think he would definitely want a goal more than 16 right? And why would he Stop in a goal that just adds 1 to his record, well, I am just thinking in advance.

^ Bochum beat Bayern Munich and really showed that they are not unbeatable. But I also think that while we are saying these types of things, we all know that it was more of a band meaning having a bad day rather than Bayern Munich being a bad team. Bayern Munich took it easy and underestimated their opponent and they lived to say the tale for it.

By the way, Modeste is also on the list with 14 goals in 21 appearances. But the Bayern players seem to be always ahead of the competition.

Well, a Bad day or underestimating their opponent a loss is a loss at the end of the day no excuses, there is a lot of explanation towards what happened to the game of Bochum and Bayern and there are a lot of controversies as well because many know how Bayern Munich play and what they can do, and as for Bochum many does know how they play aswell, so many have expected the result and so does the odds, if you look at the odds, it was a landslide for the Bayern Munich,

And yes Bayern Munich is ahead of the competition, looking at their players it seems like the club really know's what they are doing and who's to add to their roster.

[tulusikhlas]

Greuther Furth will again face a big team that will certainly be difficult for them, Bayern Munich. They are difficult to get out of the relegation zone, the points are quite far from the safety zone. They are only able to collect 13 points from 22 matches they run. Not to mention the tough competition is ahead of them.
I don't think they will be out of the relegation zone until the end of the season.

Although Lewandowski is older, he doesn't get injured too much and at the same time he can score a lot of goals because he has an exceptional squad. Their strategy is very nice. And every player on the team can fulfill his responsibilities properly. So the team is overall. Lewandowski is a talented player. He will be able to score a lot of goals this season too.

The Bayern loss against Bochum was very very unexpected from me. I really thought that if Bayern should lose, it should not be from a club like Bochum. As the standings is now, there is so much hope for Dortmund if they can be very very careful. Dortmund is not suppose to lose or draw again. The same carefulness should be to Bayern too. If Bayern continue to lose points, they will be overtaken by Dortmund. In the overall, the league is now very interesting.

[Velvet78]

To be honest, I don't think that it is impossible for Lewandowski to score at least 16 goals in the remaining 12 league games. It is Lewandowski we are talking about. Let's say that he made two hat-tricks and scored one goal each in the rest of the games, it would be enough for making it to the new goal record by 42 goals. And this is likely to happen as long as Lewandowski is focused on breaking the record. Bayern Munich still have comfortable games to be played too and we will see if he will be successful. But no matter what, he is still a legend.

After all, Greuther Furth is a promoted team which I think is natural when a promoted team can't stay in the top league. Indeed, sometimes promoted teams will be able to stay in the top league and can make some surprises like Bochum did yesterday. But that only happens to a few teams because usually they are not strong enough to compete in the top league in this case is the Bundesliga. Not only that, Bayern Munich previously lost by Bochum, it is very likely that Bayern Munich will take it out on their next opponent and fortunately Bayern Munich, because they only played against the bottom ranking team.

[tyz]

If Bayern continue to lose points, they will be overtaken by Dortmund. In the overall, the league is now very interesting.

The idea is not so far-fetched. Bayern is only six points ahead and the match between Bayern and Dortmund is still to come. Assuming Dortmund would win this game, Bayern would only have to lose one more game than Dortmund, which is not so impossible after the game against Bochum last weekend. If Dortmund doesn't slip up again, then the season could get really exciting.

It is not realistic for me. The players from Bayern were certainly reprimanded by those responsible on the board.
After Bayern lost a game, the answer was usually that they had clearly won the next game. They will play with a full cup of anger and they will do everything to win this game. I already feel sorry for Fürth.

[Fesatmas]

I already feel sorry for Fürth.

There is no pity in the game of football. If you feel pity, then you have to bear the risk of loss. All teams compete to win their matches, no matter the opposing team under any circumstances. It is precisely when the opposing team is in a bad condition that it will be profitable and will be used as best as possible to achieve victory.

[jakdanyel]

We can feel sorry for Greuther Furth maybe but Bayern Munich shouldn't do the same. Underestimating an opponent would cost really big. Because we watched the Bochum v Bayern Munich match and saw how great Bochum performed and literally destroyed Bayern Munich by 4-2. Bayern Munich wouldn't even think of underestimating Furth after this result. They are going to be completely focused on winning this match. And there is a high probability for them to get a very comfortable win too.
