Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Jody.Drummer]

Leverkusen, who were expected to become competitors in the top flight, actually appeared the opposite, yes they had to lose from the first two matches. They have to get up soon in the next match, otherwise it will be more difficult for them to catch up with the points. They are one of 2 clubs yet to earn points with Bochum.
Hoffenheim will be their next opponent and this too they can not underestimate.

What are the current rules in the group stage of the Champignons League? Does the club that finishes at last (place 4) are allowed to continue to play in the UEFA Europa League or is it not allowed to continue playing internationally at all?

Yes, Leverkusen certainly expected more and there are certainly already internal discussions. But it is still too early to see a trend. It is just matchday number 2.

Leverkusen are the most surprising team at the moment. The reason is that they started with two losses. I can understand the loss against Dortmund in Signal Iduna Park. However losing to Augsburg like that was definitely unacceptable. Augsburg lost to Freiburg by a huge score so this shows to whom Leverkusen lost last week. Leverkusen's upcoming game is against Hoffenheim which is actually a tougher one. But they really need to win this game one way or another.

Last season they were finish on 3rd position under Dortmund but seems currently Leverkusen in the poor performance period because during this season they still cannot able to win even on DFB Local they lose from 3rd division team Elversberg and according to their recent statistics Leverkusen always be dominated the matches but seems they have an issue for forward line because their striker Patrik Schick still cannot reach to his top performance and next weekend they will faced Hoffenheim this is good opportunity to Leverkusen to get 3 points because Leverkusen had good records while against Hoffenheim for their home matches

I put more emphasis on achieving their negative results, if we look at the trend of course this is just the beginning and the situation may change greatly in the future. But I see the hope for them is very high, of course the results they get in the first 2 matches are quite disappointing. They were expected to be top contenders, and they didn't show that early on. Concerns will certainly arise seeing them at this time.

Frankfurt's performance in Bundesliga in fact is not satisfying. Although this is still the beginning of the season, they seem not able to perform as optimal as when in the Europe league. I don't know if there is a certain motive or not because they seem to like being more optimal and spirit in Europe League than in the Bundesliga. So far, for two matches, the result is not as good as expected. However in the second match, they could only make drew the match result. Actually, they have tried very well but they were lack of accuracy on the shot on target.

Yeah, Frankfurt needs to improve their quality as this season they are going to be in Champions League as well but just after two matches they already concede most goals which is not good for them and their journey into Bundesliga and Champions League with most chances they have not good chance into Champions League they could be eliminated from group stage so better give their best into Bundesliga and have better spot for next season as well.

Now they are going to face Koln which is also having very good start of this season and this could be another test match for Frankfurt can they fight back or still bottom place is going to be their home for some more weeks it's needed good finishing from them for having the good number of goals.

After all, Frankfurt is not a big team that has many achievements, its victory for the Europa League title last season cannot be used as a benchmark for Frankfurt to be better this season. Therefore, I don't think it's right for you to expect something better from Frankfurt because Frankfurt are not a strong team like Bayern Munich and Dortmund. But even so, Frankfurt have made a big effort for this season with the preparations they have made by having some new players. That way, I personally only believe that Frankfurt will indeed continue to compete for the middle table in the Bundesliga, regarding the Champions League I personally don't see Frankfurt having a good chance there.

When it comes to Leverkusen they are really surprising people now. They had a really solid season the last time and finished the league at the third position. But now it looks like something is going really wrong with them. Actually their performance hasn't been the worst so far but they just failed in reflecting this onto the scores. I believe they can fix this problem as they haven't changed their squad much.

Leverkusen After failing to win the first two matches, they are sure to win the next match. I think they definitely need some changes in their player section and some good leadership on the field to win this match They should play aggressively in this match. Because by playing attacking game, the opposing team will be confused and they will be able to score goals in the opponent's net with this confused opportunity.Leverkusen upcoming match is very important for them so they have to focus fully on this match.

I don’t even know how to evaluate the quotes that bookmakers give now:

1.68 - 4.30 - 4.30

For the first round, I would regard such odds as generous, but after Bayer's two defeats, they are no longer so attractive. I'm confident in BTTS Yes, but the odds are also too low - only 1.49. I don’t see any interesting options for this game yet, maybe something will appear in live mode.

In the match with Augsburg, they were simply unlucky, there are such matches that the team is very much superior to the opponent, but at the same time loses. Hoffenheim is not an easy opponent, so to say that Bayer will win because he lost the first two games will not be correct. The beginning is very difficult, but they must make up for it, anyway, Bayer had no chance to become champions, Bayern will not allow anyone to do this.

Yes, Leverkusen did not make a major overhaul in their squad and Leverkusen should still be in a good trend. But unfortunately, maybe Leverkusen are still not very ready to face an opponent who basically has an overhaul in their squad but on the one hand Leverkusen is not doing that. In the third match Leverkusen will play against Hoffenheim and this is also not an easy team to beat, but with Leverkusen playing at home, who knows Leverkusen will get their first point in this match which should Leverkusen get full points because Leverkusen are the favorite team in this match.

Leverkusen's performance in the first two matches was very poor. They could not attack well against Dortmund. They did a lot of attack against Augsburg but couldn't score. Leverkusen's gameplay has been very poor this season. Qualifying for the Champions League will also become difficult for them.

I don't think so. Indeed in the final score they lost but their performance on the actual field against Augsburg was very good, it's just that their final finishing had to be improved because in that match they were very difficult to finish.
It's not a bad performance for them because in terms of possession and chances they are good enough just to improve the finishing then it will be done.

Leverkusen are having a pretty bad season at the moment, their good form last season they couldn't show at the start of this season but I think it's too early for us to say if leverkusen won't be able to compete this season in the race for the top 4, failure in the early games usually will as a reference for coaches to evaluate their game strategy for the next matches and I'm sure leverkusen will rise soon , for the champions league, I will agree with you because indeed Leverkusen will not be able to talk much against big European teams, but for the league, I believe they will be in the 4th big later.

At the moment they still have the upper hand to face Hoffenheim there although it was a pretty good trend shown at the start of this league by Hoffenheim but it is clear from a quality point of view that Leverkusen are far superior.
They must maximize their chances in this match because against Augsburg their performance was not so good in attack which made their chances wasted.

Who expected Leverkusen to be fighting for any top positions? I would guess that Bayern, Dortmund and Leipzig should cover the top three easily, and Frankfurt could do something as well after a great year last season. I think Leverkusen had a good season as well last year but that was last year and they do not look as good anyway.

I didn't expected them to lose both games of course, but I didn't expected them to be a dominating power neither, so this is closer to what I imagined than to the top. It is a money game now, and Leverkusen doesn't have it, so it is really hard for them to build a roster that could rivalry anyone in the long run, which is their trouble.

It's halftime in the game between Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg. Bayern is winning comfortably in the first half, the scoreline is 2:0 in favor of Bayern Munich who has done so well in this game. Bayern has enjoyed 80% dominance in this game with Wolfsburg showing no sign of seriousness in this game. The ball possession is 71-29, and Bayern has 4 shots on target while Wolfsburg is yet to make an attempt in the game so far.


Do you see Wolfsburg coming back in the second half?

In principle, nothing has changed in the second half, and Bayern is following its old traditions, again they are on the level and confident and tough play, even nothing to add. From the looks of it they'll get their 10th championship in a row this year, they're still not tired of playing in this league, huh. Ball possession, by the way, improved a bit in the second half, but it did nothing, it was still small for Wolfsburg

I couldn't agree more. The reason for that is not so much how they play with their first 11 players. The big difference between Bayern and the rest is that they are better at compensating missing players. Not only in regards to their bench, but with their style of play. When Dortmund loses two key players, it hurts extremely hard. Now in Bayern there are half a dozen of players who can score goals. Even Kimmich has this offensive quality from the defensive midfield that once Lahm also had on the back right wing. But obviously Kimmich is more dangerous when it comes to goals. They are an enormously strong team in the Bundesliga.

It will be exciting to see how far they are going to make it in the Champions League. I hope the players stay healthy because they are fun to watch and always good for gigantic fights in the CL.

Musiala is also an impressive player with a great mentality. He isn't the guy you can easily take down as a defender. Instead he stays upright and scores. I like that a lot!

Yeah, you know, it's like the history of Spartan combat tactics. When one died, another warrior would immediately take his place, so that the general line would not feel the loss. It's essentially the same here, which is probably why the Bavarian lineup looks so intimidating. It's not so much intimidating as it is austere, looking at these guys, you get the idea that it's better not to joke with them

Exactly and on top of that younger players already develop into superstars as well. The most recent example is Musiala. Who would have thought that he is going to take on a leading role in the game of Bayern Munich? Nagelsmann already said that Musiala will play if he isn't injured. The guy is strong, extremely dynamic and very hard to separate from the ball.

The offense they now have is so flexible. Coman is also still missing. When he is back and getting into his best shape again, that's another factor when it comes to 1vs1 dribblings and speed in the game. Musiala, Coman, Mane, Gnabry, and also Davies from the defense. That's a hell of speed that Bayern Munich is going to bring onto the pitch and really hard to defend.

They have a couple of other young players that are very promising as well. Wanner and Tel are most likely going to make their way, too. It sounds a bit like no names, but that is what I also thought when I head the name Musiala for the first time.

I have expected that they will be for sure will playing for the 5 first positions in the table.
I thought that because they keep Patrick Schick and also got a few more players , so yeah they have disappointed me .
Lets see how they doing in next 2 weeks and that they maybe can show us what they are for a Team.
If they lose the next 2 games that would be a disaster for Leverkusen.

Same thing I thought. However, they are off to a bad start and I am already losing hope in them. If they continue their losing streak, their coach may end up getting fired. According to Albert Einstein, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. How in the world will they expect a win with same old tactics and old players. I say buy at least 2-3 players. One of them should be a solid defender as well.

It's quite disappointing to see Leverkusen now, they are dropping points which are very important points even though it's just the start of the League, because it can bring them down mentally. They do have to make moves, but can they do it quickly? I'm a little skeptical about that, although there could be surprises in the next few weeks from them.
