Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich have a home game against Leverkusen this week. And this is one of the toughest games for both teams. It is the toughest one for Leverkusen actually. And in Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich have a big advantage and Leverkusen's chance seems to be really low. Bayern Munich demolished them by 5-1 away before and there might be another easy game waiting for them. But I don't think so this time. Leverkusen are in a good condition now and they might not lose by a big score difference at least even if they lose it.

Bayern Munich are having another comfortable season as always and this is really frustrating to me. I mean that I'm fascinated by their performance of course but it makes things about this league really boring when we see them becoming the champions all the time. There are no team that compete with Bayern Munich till the final week of the season. Leipzig were a candidate to be that team last season but they also gave up earlier in the season. And Dortmund are trying something now but it is in vain also. Dortmund should aim the title without excuses and put up a real fight for it.

The nick of nine successive titles is a very extraordinary achievement, most likely this year Bayern will add to their domestic league title, the total titles that Bayern have collected are 32 titles, while other clubs can only collect 9 titles and 8 titles, it is very boring, we want big changes in the German league, because we want other clubs to be able to compete fiercely for the title, very boring if only Bayern always wins the title every year, hopefully in the future there will be other clubs fighting to get rid of Bayern from the title race.

At the beginning of the league we expected Dortmund would keep up to the challenge but it's glaring and clear Bayern Munich will still add to the total numbers of titles received already in the bundles liga.   I wish Dortmund, Leverkusen, Liepzig  gets new signing ahead of next season in the next transfer window and also improve on their tactics to meet up we i'm tired of seeing bayern take the leagues title year after year

Current quotes are:
Leipzig 2.2
Union Berlin 3.75 (they have a lower quote now as they already advanced to the next round)
Freiburg 7.0
Hamburg 10.0

I would favor Hamburg out of those 4 I think, and if only because they are the only team not being in the 1st league 
Realistically, Leipzig will make it without much problems. They played well in the last weeks. Although Berlin or Freiburg could topple them on a good day and with luck

Leipzig looks like the undisputed favorite and I think such favorable odds for its victory are explained only by the status of the tournament - often in these tournaments it is not the stronger team that wins (Bayern or Dortmund should be here haha) but those who are more motivated. In fact, national cups have long become a kind of tournament for weak teams and for middle-class teams with ambitions which want to get at least some kind of trophy.

Yes, of course it will be a tough match for them because in my view both of them have a good trend at the moment, although Bayern Munich has always been good every season but recently it might have dropped a bit after being held to a draw by Salzburg in the UCL. Also, the pressure they seem to be experiencing at the moment because after the match between them, then they will return to the European stage which also has a difficult opponent. So yes, I'm also sure even though Bayern Munich can win the match it looks like it wasn't a big win or maybe Bayer Leverkusen can make the final result a draw.

Hm, looking at the last 10 years: Bayern won 5 times and Dortmund 3 times, Frankfurt and Wolfsburg each 1 time (these two against Bayern in the final!). So only every 5 years a middle-class team won by a lose definition of the term
Sure, Bayern is not so dominating as the winner (like in the Bundesliga), but this is in the nature of the format where 1 loss means you are out! However, the chances of smaller teams are still pretty slim to actually advance to the final and win it.

Leipzig is the best among these teams and considering it will try to achieve something this season then winning DFB-Pokal will be their main objective.
They are leading with 1 goal against Hannover after 17 minutes of the game and they are dominating it.
Union passed. Hamburg and Freiburg to follow?

Edit: Leipzig 2. Promising!

Leipzig are in very good shape and have scored a lot of goals in recent matches, this match was no exception. Leipzig have a good chance of winning the cup, but there are also Freiburg who are also looking good right now. But I still would venture to predict that Leipzig will be the winners of the cup this year.

I think Leipzig is by far the most favorite team to win the DFB Pokal title. Union Berlin is not a weak team, but it will not be difficult for them to win against a team like Union Berlin if Leipzig's players are in good form. Leipzig's squad is my favorite. As a team they are quite stable and the bonding of the players is good. So they have the power to score goals.

[Retro Harmony]

Bayern Munich will face Leverkusen this week. Leverkusen are also in good form, in their last 6 matches, Leverkusen can get 5 wins and 1 loss. In fact they can beat Dortmund with a landslide score of 5-2. I hope Leverkusen do the same when they meet Bayern Munich later, at least they can win by a narrow score to keep Bayern Munich from getting points.

It doesn't look bad for Bayern as well, they have won 4 games in their last 6 matches, draw 1 and losing 1 to Bochum as they are still struggling for the ECL qualifiers, even with 5 wins and 1 loss, they will still be below Bayern Munich and before they get there, it is possible that they will have win at least 4 matches with 12 more points keeping them in the top of the league. Leverkusen and Dortmund may continue to struggle for second place as the two have won 5 matches and lost 1 in their last matches.

The team that will become the champion this year has almost been determined.  Like every year, I predict Bayern Munich will be the champion this year.  Maybe Dortmund could have beaten Bayern if they hadn't lost points in easy matches.  Bayern have taken many surprise defeats this year.  I wonder when they will be champions for Dortmund if they can't be this year.

Are you enjoying the Leipzig match against Hanover? Leipzig is leading 2-0. They will easily win this match. Across the field I can see the dominance of Leipzig players. Hanover does not get a chance to attack. They are even failing to keep the ball in their possession. I thought Leipzig will score three goals in this match. Let's see if they are able to score one more goal.

[Pulsar77]

We have a really nice game three days later between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in Allianz Arena. When we look at their last head-to-head game, we can see that Bayern Munich simply demolished them by 5-1 away. And Leverkusen were at the second position in the standings and very close to Bayern Munich too then as far as I can remember. I just can't imagine how this game can end. I expect another highly dominant game from Bayern Munich but I'm not sure about the final score. But one thing seems to be certain to me that Bayern Munich would beat them again.

Leipzig is performing very well, and it's already 4-0, it looks like Leipzig and Leverkusen will soon be fighting for third place in the table, with just a one-point difference. They both have their next match in three days, and it will be a close struggle between the two clubs. Nkunku is still in the early stages of his career and appears to be Leipzig's last hope, it's no surprise that Manchester United is still interested in him.

But if you look at other championships, you will only find Leicester who became the champion and a couple of other teams (one from Germany, by the way) that unexpectedly climbed very high, like silver in the championship.
And if you look at the cups, then an average club often becomes the owner there, and teams from 2 leagues very often reach the serious stages of the tournament. In fact, in the final distribution, they take the places of many top teams. In championships, this happens much less frequently.

Union Berlin won 2-1 and advances to the semi-final.
Today we see Hamburg vs Karlsruhe (easy for Hamburg?)
Hannover vs Leipzig (I guess Leipzig is the overall favorite now, if they drop out it would be a huge disappointment)
Bochum vs Freiburg (the most balanced game I suppose. Freiburg slightly favored as they are playing stronger in the league this year.

A final between Leipzig and Union Berlin would be fun, let's see what we'll get

Which team, Union Berlin or Leipzig, do you think has a better chance of winning? If don't consider Leipzig as a favorite. Are the teams approximately equal in strength or can one of them win with a crushing score? Can you try to predict?

I would guess that from the teams that are left, Leipzig is the most known and the best one we have. All the other teams are a bit lower in the leagues and that would suggest that Leipzig should be able to easily win the cup. However that is never that easy, look at how Bayern was eliminated, and the team that eliminated Bayern (gladbach) got eliminated literally just one stage later which is proof that it is very shocking during the cup games in Germany.

I would guess that in a "normal" situation Leipzig would be the winner of the cup but anything could happen, any team could win, just like how Bayern got eliminated so easily, something unexpected could happen again.

[Lafu]

Leipzig won today in the Cup against Hannover with 4 scored goals and it can be possible that we will see a final between Berlin and Leipzig.
The other games still running and Hamburg vs Karlsruhe is a draw for now and looks like it will be getting into the penalties shoot.
Bochum against Freiburg has just started and no scored goals there for now.

[Spack17]

Most people will be following the Bayern Munich - Leverkusen match most probably. And this is really a game that is worth watching. Even Bayern Munich themselves can make this match very exciting and enjoyable. And the thing I wonder the most is whether Bayern Munich will let their competitor have so many goal opportunities against them. Because whenever Bayern Munich play a match like it is their championship match, they don't give much chance to their competitor. Maybe this one could be one of those times.

[Zanab247]

I guess Bayern Munich will not miss this opportunity to achieve a favourable victory from this match. They played well in their last match which they will still make use of such strategies to improve their point higher so that their fans will know that they are fully ready to achieve this tournament title. Bayern Munich coach know what to do to defeat other strong team they are going to meet soon.

Bochum vs Freiburg (the most balanced game I suppose. Freiburg slightly favored as they are playing stronger in the league this year.

Union Berlin was slightly better than St. Pauli but all 3 goals were avoidable. The free kick goal from  St. Pauli  was avoidable and Union Berlin only scored the two goals because a St. Pauli player slipped away beforehand.

Hamburger SV had difficulties within the first 50 minutes. But then they played better. After Karlsruhe's red card, Hamburg should have won in regular time.

Hanover - Leipzig. It was already clear beforehand that Leipzig would win. But that Hannover would get 4 goals....

Bochum - Freiburg. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the game. But Freiburg scored the second goal in minute 120 and is now in the semi-finals.

The only remaining club from the 2nd Bundesliga in the semi-finals is Hamburger SV.

Exactly,Bayern is a team packed with talents,from the attack line to the midfield line to their defence,they are hundred percent fit to contest and win any league,including the champions league.When a person like Lewandowski is in a team,you will have no doubt about whether goals will come,because they will surely deliver for you.And in all,Bayern will be at where it's supposed to be.

I would say Bayern's performance is so great because they are not dependent on any particular player. Every player on the team is very hardworking. And they try their best to play well in their position. At the same time the bonds between the players of the team are very nice. Their understanding with each other is excellent. So their performance as a team is good. This is why winning against them is challenging for any team.
