Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Fakhrulenclix]

Union Berlin defended with passion, discipline, compactness and deserved the point.

For the second week in a row, Bayern dropped all three points and Julian Nagelsmann had additional work to think of a strategy to break down the opposition defense as Bayern had been creative and had the ball for most of the game, but Bayern simply lacked efficiency and made the wrong decisions in finishing.

With the ball possession reaching 75%, Bayern was quite unlucky to only get a draw from the match against Union Berlin, but the match was not easy because union berlin played defensively and it really made it difficult for bayen to shoot

- the match between monchengladbach vs mainz is still 0 - 0, the strength statistics of both are balanced in the first half, not really sure if any team will win, looks like the match will end in a draw

I think in this match what should be appreciated is the defense of Union Berlin, they played very neatly and disciplined and were able to break the barrage of attacks from Bayern until the end of the match.
at the beginning of this season Union Berlin played quite well with this draw they placed 5th in the standings by collecting 11 points from 5 matches. and with their success in holding Bayern to a draw of course their mentality will improve.

This is the second week in a row that Bayern Munich are losing points. This time they tried everything they could against Union Berlin but the game still ended up with a 1-1 draw. However we should take something into account also that Union Berlin started really great to the new season. Even though they had a difficult job they still managed to keep their opponent at only one goal. However this doesn't change too much about Bayern Munich. They are still the most credible team in the league to win the title of course.

They didn't lack chances, it's just that they lost their luck in their two games in my opinion. Because as we can see they are not without chances, but they struggle in finishing. But this is good news for other teams like Borussia Dortmund. They should have made better use of this situation. Now there is a difference if we look at the standings.

There is something inconsistent with their finishing skills indeed. They are the most scoring team in the league now with 17 goals in 5 games. They are the least conceding team as well. But somehow they lost four points in their last two games. First Gladbach and now this. Their next game is against Stuttgart in Allianz Arena and I expect nothing different than a huge win by a big goal difference. However they were getting this kind of results in the previous season as well. So it is still early to judge them harshly for me already now.

Obviously this must be appreciated because indeed in this match they played very disciplined and that is what other clubs have to do when facing Bayern considering that in this case we know where their differences lie in terms of individual quality, so the best way is to defend and be prepared to launch a quick counter-attack.
What Union did in this match is the same as what Gladbach did and hopefully the other teams will do the same because when something like that happens, even though Bayern are champions, the competition will still be more exciting.

Leverkusen wasn't lucky vs Freiburg and that's the 4th defeat in 5 games. Many top teams in several leagues are doing horrible like Sevilla, Monaco... But also Leipzig! They lost by 4 goals against Frankfurt which aren't performing good these rounds!

don't forget about Leicester too, they are also doing bad and being last having only 1 point, anyway, I was expecting Leipzig to be in the top 4, the last match before facing Frankfurt they played really well and Werner who came back scored a hat trick, I thought they could be off to a good start, but they did not, Frankfurt was a tough opponent for them, they haven't lost so far and they scored 4 goals in the match before and 4 today, Leipzig need to step it out or they'll be out of the race for the champions league or even europa league.

I think Leipzig still need time for them to find their best game and if we look at this season and last season it's actually the same and I think this will be a good thing for them in the future.
At the moment their condition is not good because there are still some mistakes they made but over time this will improve I think because indeed if we look in the mirror from last season there are clear similarities and they started to rise in the middle of the league, it is not impossible in this season will also like that.

And Freiburg is just at the top after 5 games. It is much too early to say that they will continue to play at the top, but we expected more from Bayern Munich. 2 draws is just not good and if that was against the top of Germany it would have been a different story. Dortmund is hooking up well and is currently 2nd. It will be only a matter of time before Freiburg drops out at the top, but at least let's hope Dortmund can battle Bayern Munich for the championship this season. We are ready for a new champion after Bayern Munich's dominance in recent years.

[arimamib]

They know in this match if they play open they won't be able to get anything there so playing defensively from the start is the best thing for them.
This result is a very good result for Bayern because indeed with this result they managed to take points and they know that a scheme like this is going well enough for the team that is above them.

Bayern Munich were forced to draw by Union Berlin and made them lose 2 points, this season Bayern Munich have drawn twice, after the previous week they were held to a draw by Monchengladbach. The consecutive draws that Munich got made them have to drop to 3rd position, now they are one point adrift of Freiburg who are in first place. The stoppage of Bayern Munich winning record did not make them out of the champions list, Munich can regain first place in the near future. I am very sure that Munich will improve their performance in the coming matches, they will again show that they are a champion team.

[RealMalatesta]

union berlin seems to be a strong opponent for Bayern Munich and this is evidenced by the draw until the last minute. The defense of both teams was strong and both were only able to score 1 goal, starting with a goal from Union Berlin in the 12th minute by Sheraldo Becker. but not long after in the 15th minute Bayern Munich responded with 1 goal from Joshua Kimmich.

Bayern Munich has actually controlled the game with a total of 21 shots and 6 shots on goal. Bayern Munich has 75% of the ball position. But union Berlin was able to hold on well until the last minute of the game and the 1-1 score remained unchanged.

I have to say they are nothing compared to Bayern Munich, just because they got a tie doesn't mean that they are tough, it just means Bayern either had an unlucky day, or they just didn't want to deal with any of this and just didn't care at all. Let's be honest, Union Berlin is a team that has something, they are not bad at all and they could always be better and they could finish second one day, not saying it will be this year but they could.

But, we are talking about Bayern as competition, not even dortmund is close to Bayern, not even Leipzig with all their money. Bayern is on another level, they are playing like a team from higher division, these are just uncommon results.

We are ready for a new champion after Bayern Munich's dominance in recent years.

The battle might be intense this year but Bayern has a lot of potentials that other teams haven't except maybe Dortmund that might be annoying. It is their chance anyway this season to grab the title.
This round isn't the best one for most top teams. In the next one Dortmund will face Leipzig and Freiburg will play vs M'Gladbach. Hard games there.

I don't seem to agree with this part of your statement that I curled out. We all know that Bayern is the biggest team in Bundesliga and we know their strengths in both Bundesliga and Europe at large. But this is football and anything is possible. You cannot underrated the efforts of Union Berlin just because of proven history of Bayern munich.  Bayern Munich cannot be unlucky from first minute to 90th minutes.  They were simply not better than the Berlin team. If Bayern was as invincible as you think, why would they draw consecutively to Mönchengladbach and Berlin?

Before Union Berlin's glory will fed, just give it to them. They have played equal amount of game with Bayern since the season started and they share same points with Bayern. They are among thr current big boys of Bundesliga.

[Ratash]

Gladbach team unexpectedly lost at home against mainz especially after the good beginning of season and the draw they managed against bayern in the last round the game was tight and as soon as gladbach team had a red card the game became much easier and mainz team managed to score and this win took them to the fifth position.

This round isn't the best one for most top teams. In the next one Dortmund will face Leipzig and Freiburg will play vs M'Gladbach. Hard games there.

I must say that bundesliga title race almost 90% are belong to bayern munich.

In the last 10 to 15 years .. the bundesliga title race were unhealthy .. unfair due the club purchasing power between bayern munich and the other teams is like 5 times lower than bayern munich.
It's even often that any rising star players in bundesliga always bought by bayern and this time this season i see no difference , they are too great to compete with the others.

I think the situation is not that simple. if we look at which teams bayern drew we can see that they were draws against teams that are not fighting for the title and everything becomes worse because in those two games that bayern drew they were not able to score more than 1 goal. Look:

bayern 1 - 1 Monchengladbach

bayern 1 - 1 Union Berlin

And I don't believe that in the next games, Bayern won't lose points again. maybe in this season they will have difficulties to become champions


Augsburg 0 - 2 Hertha Berlin

with this result, Hertha Berlin got the first victory

Borussia M.Gladbach 0 - 1 Mainz 05

this is another one of those games that are very complicated to predict the result, I preferred not to bet on this game

I am quite surprised by the rankings in the temporary standings table (Freiburg is in first place while Dortmund is in second and Bayern is in third)

I'm still asking what's really going on with Bayern, UCL hasn't started yet but their game doesn't seem to be focused, I hope that Bayern's game pattern will improve and won't continue to end in a draw

I was also a little surprised when I saw Bayern Munich are in third place after five games this season. But Bayern Munich are still not far behind with Freiburg and Dortmund currently in first and second place in the standings. So Bayern Munich still has a chance to be in first place on condition that they have to win more games and also don't have to lose or draw with their opponents this season. Due to the intense competition this season, in general the Bundesliga has become more interesting to watch.

Bayern Munich didn't play well in the last two matches. I mean they can not earn the full points But they played enough well. Though the opponent played fully defensive tactics. So that, Munich's players cannot score. I think at this time they missed Lewandowski badly. Bayern Munich has a strong squad. I think in a few matches, we will see Bayern Munich at the top of the table. But the net opponent is Union Berlin. This team is hard enough. It will be not easy for Bayern to get full points against Union Berlin.

the coach must find the right way for Munich when it comes to deadlock. facing a defensive team is difficult for Munich when they don't have players who can break down defenses and create chances.
Munich is quite productive in scoring goals. but when it comes to a team that understands how to deal with Munich's attacking pattern. they're in trouble.
I still believe Munich will remain the best in the Bundesliga. even as the competition gets tougher, this will be a good thing for the fans.

[Rabi3]

Borussia M.Gladbach 0 - 1 Mainz 05

this is another one of those games that are very complicated to predict the result, I preferred not to bet on this game

take this advice from me, it might help you, most of the times, when an okay team or a weak one makes a surprise against a big team just like monchengladbach drawing against Bayern munich, they don't win in their next match, it happens a lot, not all the time, but i have seen it so much that i noticed it, don't blame if you try to bet on a team with the same scenario and lose Monchengladbach's next match in the league is against Freiburg who made a surprise and beat Bayern Leverkusen after being down 1-0, so here i could say that Freiburg won't win against Monchengladbach, "double chance" is a good bet on it.

[Z-tight]

I'm still asking what's really going on with Bayern, UCL hasn't started yet but their game doesn't seem to be focused, I hope that Bayern's game pattern will improve and won't continue to end in a draw

Nothing is going on with bayern, or do you want them to be invincible, there will be games they will not take all the points, and they will have to either draw or lose, and honestly i like it for the sake of the league's competitiveness, so viewers can have a reason to follow the bundesliga more. Bayern drew their last two league games, but they did not play in a bad way, they created many chances to score. For those who feel Lewandowski will no be missed at all, i tell you that it is in this kind of games were they need a goal, that they will miss him, because he is one of the best in the world at scoring goals. I hope other clubs in the league will be stronger and more determined everytime they meet Bayern.

Agreed with this all and with this now how can others can compete with them a big question because here if they want to be interesting and healthy competitions between top teams then surely needs good funds and better structure which help them for having good challenge for Bayern Munich but no one is going to invest big amount for this all which is surely a big misery for many clubs in Germany and France where same trend is going on PSG is ruling and others are struggling badly due to lack of funds.

In last season we have some hopes from few teams as they were doing good job which was good sign, but suddenly most of the teams are struggling badly, and nothing positive is coming which mean we can face this situation for long time German soccer authorities are also not able to solve this all, so we have to face Bayern Munich as dominating force.
