Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Minecache]

There isn't much time to go for the beginning of a new season in the Bundesliga. Dortmund and Bayern Munich are both dealing with striker problems. To be more accurate, Dortmund just want to replace Haller until his medical condition comes back to normal. On the other hand, Bayern Munich need a striker in their starting eleven directly as they have sold Lewandowski. I have seen their match against Manchester City which they played really poorly against the English team. Maybe it was a friendly but we can see that the striker problem is obvious.

I don't mind what they're going through now for the Bundesliga. Because the situation will not be much different from last season, where Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the league. But I worry more about them in the Champions League, Bayern Munich in particular. So far they are still under a more ready club, Manchester City among them. How they play of course we will judge, even though it is not an official match.

There is no team that can challenge Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga right now. At first, I had some hope for Dortmund but right now with the injury problems I don’t think they will be able to challenge Bayern Munich at all. And I believe Bayern Munich is going to dominate again in the Bundesliga. But I don’t think anything like that is about to happen in the Champions League with Bayern Munich. There is a lot better competition in the Champions League compared to the Bundesliga. And with Bayern Munich not having the prolific goalscorer, Robert Lewandowski on the team, it is going to be challenging for them to score consistently in the Bundesliga let alone the Champions League.

For the current Bundesliga there will be nothing surprising even if they lost here especially their rivals, namely Dortmund, are in crisis. The striker is clearly another advantage for Bayern.
As for this defeat Naglesmann at least knows that their team is still not perfect for a great league title in the Champions League so they need to improve their performance, not only for the Bundesliga but they also have to think about the Champions League.

Well, in my opinion, nothing is really perfect here, even on the Bayern Munich side, there are many new players that still are not very well known with the team chemistry and team play, both Dortmund and Bayern Munich have the same problem, they surely need time for those new players to gained experience with their new respected team, the worse problem for Dortmund is what happens to Sebastien Haller, I think this is the big problem that Dortmund is facing right now,

I'm wondering what Leipzig will do this time. In the previous season they had some struggles and couldn't start the season very well. They were below the expectations for a long time too. But they still managed to recover while we were getting close to the end of the season and managed to finish as the 4th. Leipzig have lost Nagelsmann maybe but they still have a capable squad to fight for the 3rd and 2nd places in the standings. If they make a good start they can make it I think.

For me, Leipzig is doing fine, I really thought they are not the same Leipzig as in the previous season, but they have gained momentum and come back very fast, well imagine if they have a great start, I think they can finish in the 2nd standing for the Bundesliga or should I say even become champion against a dominating Bayern Munich that still has Robert Lewandowski on their team, for me they only have a bad start, back then I think they are still working on their gameplay that time but I think in the next season they will be ready,

Am a bit disapointed about bayern performance in the last game against man city it was a total domination from the english team bayern team only had two off goal shots the entire game i knew their defense was weak but now even their attack is suffering they are enable to create chances with lewandowski gone, sane and coman weak performance it seems that bayern will have a tough time in the champions league next season unless they manage to sign some good players.

This is just Club Friendlies and I think they don't really take this game seriously, and I think they haven't used their new players yet, and even though it is not intentional, maybe this loss is intentional, but looking at Man City they now have Erling Haaland on their side, and we all know that Erling Haaland is equivalent to Bayern Munich's former striker Robert Lewandowski, so they will surely doesn't have a chance in winning this in my opinion,

[alpamar99]

If we look at the current case, Suarez is not meant for that because he is being looked at because the transfer window is getting closer and they have to find a striker as soon as possible given Haller's unexpected condition.
Suarez's purchase is not to find hidden talent but to fill the position left by Haller for a while because it is certain that they will not allow the club to compete without a striker there.

He is the best option , he will also happy to play at dortmund as he knew that he is going to be the key player in front , noone comes near him as the best striker available in the transfer market now , dortmund must make a move soon before it's too late.

Dortmund can't rely on the young talent to fight for the title next season.

But the news about him going to Dortmund has now disappeared and is no longer from and this is one of those things that is hard to confirm right now.
Indeed in this case it is actually like a symbiotic mutualism for Suarez and Dortmund if this works, but when the news is gone now it is still a gray matter whether he will indeed go to the Bundesliga or will he not get a club that can be said to be famous until the end of the transfer window.

In fact, Dortmund already have hope for next season because Haaland's departure was immediately greeted with the arrival of Haller, but there are some unexpected problems for them now that Haller with his illness definitely needs time to be able to return to play.
Now Dortmund are obviously only relying on Reus up front and I don't think this is good because it's clear that Reus's burden is bigger now.
On the other hand there are some things regarding transfer information but until now there has been no further confirmation about this and it is certain that Bayern will benefit as they will be walking alone again for the title race.

I agree Bayern Munich is a dominant team to win titles in the Bundesliga, but I never thought they would go their own way without competition from other teams. Even if Dortmund are not able to compete, then I'm sure other teams will provide good competition in the standings throughout the season.

An unexpected thing happened to Heller which actually cost Dortmund, but that was not entirely true as there are other players who are ready to play all season for the same purpose.

[snipie]

Conte is really pissed from Bayern attitude to talk to media about being interested on Kane. He called that a bit disrespectful and that they should talk directly to Spurs although he consider Kane an important part of the club project.
From what I understood, it appears that Bayern won't get Kane this summer at least.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Philipp Lahm haven't been issued a red card in his entire professional career. It's a good news for the German as he played tactically with his intelligence while on the pitch. Always knows the perfect time to slide and to Cross balls, he achieved many trophies with Bayern Munich where he spent 95% of his career playing for them. The club and country already missed his presence in games and he also led Germany to their World Cup title back then in 2014.

Is it just me or does anyone else also think that Philipp Lahm ended his career in some ways too early?

He was a talented player. He was always a very valuable contributor to his team regardless of whether he played club football or international football. You know he was a player who had excellent control over his skills. Philipp always thought about football. There are very few players who can keep calm under pressure and he was one of them.

[fuguebtc]

Regarding Adeyemi i don't know why in the last few matches Edin Terzić placed him to several different position most likely as a winger and Adeyemi still cannot playing as he expected maybe because he still required time to adapt or he played not as his real position and for striker position Dortmund only have several players but only Marco Reus who can scoring more than 10 goals last season and i do agreed with you that Terzic should give Adeyemi more minutes to play as a striker not midfielder position

If you are referring to the Club Friendlies game against Villarreal and Karim Adeyemi is not in his usual position, I think he is not used to the chemistry of Dortmund play that is why Marco Reus is their main goaler because he is used to Dortmund kind of play well, I think they are feeding tips to Adeyemi to get familiar with that or they are controlling him for the championship Dortmund might be cautious on what Adeyemi can really do there are plays that need to be hidden until the start of the next season of the Bundesliga,

I think they are trying to do the same thing that they did with Robert Lewandowski. Robert Lewandowski was always a striker. But when Jurgen Klopp was the coach of Dortmund he made Robert Lewandowski play in the midfield position instead of a striker. And that really helped Robert Lewandowski to be a better player.

From playing in the midfield he had no trouble going back to playing in the attacking position later. No one actually realized that initially but later even Robert Lewandowski realized why his coach did this.

So, I think they are probably trying to do the same thing with this player. But they have to realize that football has changed and the team also needs a striker right now.

[baeva]

Yes, totally agree, due to his age he is already starting to slow down in his game. Also, have there been any rumours of his transfer? To some extent such a player would help the team anyway, but they should understand that if they sign him, it will be for one or maximum two seasons, because only he knows when Suarez will finish his career

I think Luiz Suarez is not in criteria list from Dortmund player, usually all player transfer did by Dortmund as long investment time, never try with central forward position with player have age above 34 years old and looks Suarez just have one or two season only if try sign with Dortmund. We still remember with Haaland transfer last several season, Dortmund always looking for player have young age and become profitable and business later when have reaching top performance and sell to other club, depending how business and profit earn with Haaland, I think Dortmund keep priority with you player on transfer.

Yes, I agree with you there. Dortmund are a brilliant team in terms of business, the management know what they are doing. After all, Haaland is not the only player who became a young star in this team and was sold for many times more than he was bought. You can't do that with Suarez, unfortunately. So I even wonder who they will buy instead of Haaland

If you notice, except for Marco Reus and Haller in the Dortmund team, all the other players are still young. Dortmund will want to make one of these players a star. And for this, these players must be trained. If Dortmund wants to sign Suarez, it will be profitable for them. Suarez is an experienced player. If he is friendly with the young players, maybe the performance of Dortmund's young players will improve. And Dortmund can profit by selling these players in the future.

If you look at it this way, yes, I agree with you, but there is a but. In that case, they won't have enough suarez alone, and then there's marco. Two players won't give the whole team the experience they want, they will either need to buy up experienced players and keep a balance in this case. But its easier to teach all the newbies yourself rather than spend money on players who will spend 1 or 2 seasons in the team.

Bayern Munich are now losing 1-0 against City in their friendly match. It could be, it's a friendly match after all, but they almost didn't have positions throughout the match. City played very dominant and they are leading 1-0 with a goal from former Bundesliga striker Haaland. Bayern Munich's squad this year looks very good. I think they are competing for the UCL title but it is very difficult if they play like that. They don't have Lewangoalski anymore, they need to make the attacks more organized.

Bayern Munich have formed their squad with the aim of winning the Champions League title. But since Lewandowski left the squad, it is not possible to fill the void created in the squad so quickly. While Mane was talented, Lewandowski was a scoring machine. I doubt Sadio Mane can score as regularly as Lewandowski. So I think Bayern Munich should add another striker to the squad as Lewandowski's replacement.

I think the same as you man. Bayern Munich will not easily replace Lewandowski. In fact, it was a big mistake to send him off the team without arranging a transfer for him. Bayern will definitely understand this. The only question in mind is who will Bayern buy instead of Lewandowski?

[Pulsar77]

Maybe Adeyemi and Haaland are totally different players. But their common features are that being skilled and having played for Salzburg before.    If Adeyemi also adapts to the team like Haaland did then honestly I think that we can see a great performance by Adeyemi. He can easily be the main centre-forward of the team depending on his performance. Dortmund like to play with youngsters there so they would give the chance he wants very much.

[sana54210]

Although Mukiele's name isn't that big, but he's a pretty influential player in Leipzig, with Mukiele going to PSG I can assure you that Leipzig will have a hard time competing with other big clubs in the Bundesliga this season. the bundesliga is getting boring, and surely the domination of bayern won't be resisted anymore.

They already had a big trouble last season, they used to have negalsmann and their big name defender, now they are not going to have Mukiele as well, which all comes down to the fact that they lost many players and had a lower level players would mean that lower level in the league at the end of the season as well.

This isn't some sort of situation where you could just spend money and replace these players because bigger clubs would pay a ton of money, so even if you wanted to, all you would get is players with a good potential, not already good players and that is what Leipzig is having a hard time with. I expect them to do a lot better eventually, but it is going to take time to find those players.

From what I understood, it appears that Bayern won't get Kane this summer at least.

I think it was already pretty clear before this news that Bayern will not sign Harry Kane this summer. I mean come on Bayern already spent around 110 Million € already for Mane and De Ligt. Today Mathys Tel landed in Munich to do the medical checkup and he will probably sign a contract until 2027 tomorrow. Tel will also cost 28,5 Million € which is a huge amount of money for a 17 year old in my opinion. So Bayern already spent 140 Million € so far while they only got like 55 Million € back for Lewandowski, Marc Roca and Omar Richards. Kane would probably cost at least 80 or 90 Million € because he still has a contract until 2024 and there is no way that Bayern is spending 180 Million € in one transfer period. Bayern is reasonable with their money, unlike Barca.

[ilovealtcoins]

Bayern Munich will definitely improve well in next season, because Robert Lewandowski is a talented striker that know how to achieve goals from any competition. I think, this is what Bayern Munich players have been waiting for because the team was seriously lacking in the area of striker that was making them not to perform well in some matches. Now that Bayern Munich president has agreed to sign in Robert Lewandowski into the team, Robert Lewandowski will definitely help the team to achieve next season title because he is among the best strikers in Germany league competition.

Lewandowski's future is still a question for many people, because Lewandowski has been planning to move to Barcelona since April 2022.
But Bayern are still trying hard to keep Lewandowski from moving, one of them by setting a high price if Barcelona want to buy Lewandowski.
As you said Lewandowski's performance was outstanding, so Bayern will be missing out a lot if Lewandowski leaves. Since moving from
Dortmund in 2014, Lewandowski has scored 344 goals and provided 72 assists in 375 games. That's why Bayern's management always said
that Lewandowski would stay for at least one more season. Moreover, Barcelona's finances are not healthy, so I doubt Barcelona will be willing
to meet Bayern's high transfer fee requests. I also predict that it is very likely that Lewandowski will stay at Bayern and will help Bayern win trophies
in his final season with Bayern.

Bayern Munich first thought that if they put a big enough price tag on Robert Lewandowski Barcelona is not going to be interested in the player. But I think they were surprised to see the interest that Barcelona had to bring in the player.

But Robert Lewandowski himself wanted to get out of Bayern Munich. And I think Byron Munich also understood that they were not going to be able to keep him in the club. So it will be good for them to let him go for a good amount of price.

Though, Barcelona knows he is already quite old and will not be able to perform as he is doing right now after two years, eventually, they brought this sticker to the team.

I agree Bayern is unlikely to sign Harry Kane this year, apart from Bayern having spent a lot of money to bring in some new players, Bayern also
seems to want to try to play Mane in center forward as a replacement for Lewandowski. If it goes well enough, I doubt Bayern will still try to sign
Kane next summer. Having learned from Man City's failure to land Kane, looks like Bayern realized they had to find another way to get Harry Kane.

It is certain that Tottenham will definitely ask for a very high price and it does not make sense if Bayern want to buy Kane. Therefore from now
on Bayern are trying to spread rumors of interest in Kane, so if Tottenham fail to win trophies next season, then Kane will be disappointed and
there is a possibility Kane refuses to extend his contract with Tottenham. So Tottenham will sell for a reasonable price next year, if not sold
then Tottenham will lose Kane in 2024 for free. It's very strategic if Bayern's plan to sign Kane is like that.

In fact, Dortmund already have hope for next season because Haaland's departure was immediately greeted with the arrival of Haller, but there are some unexpected problems for them now that Haller with his illness definitely needs time to be able to return to play.
Now Dortmund are obviously only relying on Reus up front and I don't think this is good because it's clear that Reus's burden is bigger now.

An unexpected thing happened to Heller which actually cost Dortmund, but that was not entirely true as there are other players who are ready to play all season for the same purpose.

I still wonder which club will indeed be able to make a breakthrough like this and stop Bayern's dominance other than Dortmund.
There are some great clubs in the Bundesliga such as Leverkusen, Leipzig and even Freiburg and Union Berlin who are dark horses there. But things like this are not enough to keep Bayern stuck because they are not at the same level and will most likely be the same as last season with them elbowing each other in 2nd place down but not being able to put pressure on the top position.

[YuginKadoya]

I think they are trying to do the same thing that they did with Robert Lewandowski. Robert Lewandowski was always a striker.

So, I think they are probably trying to do the same thing with this player. But they have to realize that football has changed and the team also needs a striker right now.

Well, I believe you because to be the best striker you really need to be almost well known in all positions, in football, and did you all know on top of being a great striker he also has 4 Guinness Book of records and he will not get this kind of remarkable breakthrough if he wasn't really versatile with every position there is on Football, and I think the Athletic side of Lewandowski, he might be inherited to his family because every member of his family is known to be athletic, his father was a Judo Champion, and a footballer aswell, and his mother and sister was a volleyball player, and his wife won 2009 bronze medal karate championship,

Maybe Adeyemi and Haaland are totally different players. But their common features are that being skilled and having played for Salzburg before.    If Adeyemi also adapts to the team like Haaland did then honestly I think that we can see a great performance by Adeyemi. He can easily be the main centre-forward of the team depending on his performance. Dortmund like to play with youngsters there so they would give the chance he wants very much.

It is too early to speculate but I don't really want to compare Haaland and Adeyemi, but I think that Karim Adeyemi will eventually see his own path in the Bundesliga world he might be not the main goaler for the team but I think he needs to throw in other positions first to be the perfect attacker on the Dortmund team in the future,

I think it was already pretty clear before this news that Bayern will not sign Harry Kane this summer. I mean come on Bayern already spent around 110 Million € already for Mane and De Ligt.

Bayern is reasonable with their money, unlike Barca.

It was surely a large investment on certain many players for Bayern Munich to be getting Harry Kane will surely need a lot of financial back-ups and will surely get those many players in the club, and yes I also think Bayern Munich will not get Harry Kane anymore they also decline Timo Werner from Chelsea and Filip Kostic from West ham, I think the start of the next season of the Bundesliga is also nearing and will starts on Aug 6, with Eintracht Frankfurt VS Bayern Munich as the opening match, and I am super excited,

[boltz]

Germany SuperCup this weekend and it's also the first test for Bayern without Lewa.

Bayern vs Dortmund is what we are looking at and for me , Dortmund has the first chance as I don't see Bayern going all-in for this trophy even if the fans will want to see them lift another one. For now , we don't even know if important players will play full game or only 20 minutes or so.

[1kodumtek7]

I personally didn't consider Leipzig because even Leipzig in this transfer window didn't make many changes in their squad, only a few returned from loan and only signed a few young players. I don't think there is a big target for Leipzig next season even though they will play in the Champions League, but even so I still believe that Leipzig will still be able to compete for the top four places in the standings. I personally look forward to the changes that Eintracht Frankfurt are making, they have been very active in this transfer window so the changes in the Eintracht Frankfurt squad are clearly visible. Eintracht Frankfurt have a good process this time to be able to compete better in the Champions League and will probably become a contender team also in the top standings of the Bundesliga with the changes it has made.

By the way there is a possibility for Timo Werner to come back to Leipzig very soon. Because it has been speculated these days that Werner wants to leave Chelsea as soon as possible. He wants to play for a team that he can have a bigger playing time. If they don't sell him on a permanent deal he is likely to be loaned to a team. Among the teams that he can be loaned to, there is Leipzig as well. His times with Leipzig were really great in the past. He was unstoppable about scoring. If he returns Leipzig might have a better season.

On the other hand there are some things regarding transfer information but until now there has been no further confirmation about this and it is certain that Bayern will benefit as they will be walking alone again for the title race.

Dortmund have bigger expectation and hope with Sébastien Haller after deal transfer with Ajax Amsterdam and become replacement for Haaland have sold to Manchester City, but with some unexpected problem faced by Sébastien Haller and until unknow time he can back to field make Dortmund have find new replacement for position leaving by Haaland. Exactly Dortmund don't want to make failed again on UEFA Champion League next season and he need to find new forward and can give more contribution on Bundesliga and Champion League. Not good ideas waiting with Sébastien Haller come back because he still need time and keep waiting to recovery his performance.
