Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Jody.Drummer]

I think that the most interesting of today's matches will be TSG Hoffenheim - SC Freiburg. It's hard to name the favorite of this match. Hoffenheim has won all the games in their home stadium so far, which should make them the favorite, but it should be noted that Freiburg is the best in the league in away matches and so far has also achieved only victories. If two months ago someone told me that the winner of this match could become the leader of the table, I would not believe it. And if he added that it would only happen if Union Berlin did not win its match, I would consider him crazy

That's right, and this is also a fight for a place in the standings, because it is certain who wins the match will get a good place in the standings. Both clubs will certainly perform to the best of their ability. Hoffenheim is the host to be seeded because it benefits from the status of the host. It will be an interesting match, I hope both clubs play an impressive game.

Obviously the match for the two teams (Hoffenheim and Freiburg) will be more interesting because their points are also different by only one unit which will have an effect on the standings if one of them loses the match.

So for the current match, Union Berlin vs Wolfsburg, who do you think will be superior? Because I see Union Berlin's performance so far has looked very good and this time it seems that the match will also be won by Union Berlin because the current match is at Union Berlin's home ground.

Bayern have been playing very badly for weeks. If Lewa hadn't missed those goals in the Barcelona match and the penalty had not been given when it was 0-0, Bayern would have been disbanded in that match as well. I don't understand why there is this situation in Bayern. Nevertheless, no matter how many points Bayern Munich loses, they will still be champions at the end of the season...

Bayern Munich showed a different performance after beating Barcelona in the UCL, while in the Bundesliga Bayern appeared sluggish and in the last match they were forced to surrender 1-0 by Augsburg. Losing a lot of points at the start of this season meant that Bayern had to drop to 4th place with 12 points. Bayern's form has decreased slightly since one of their goalscoring machines moved to Barcelona, but dropping points in several games did not make Bayern out of the title candidates at the end of the season.

Union Berlin are quite an amazing team as they seems to be playing much better every season, with Wolfsburg currently out of their best form, I think it should be quite easy for Union Berlin to claim 3 points from Wolfsburg at the final whistle today.

Indeed, I was quite surprised by the strength of Union Berlin earlier this season. They are able to display their best game. In addition, I was also surprised that Bayern Munich lost against Augsburg. The defeat made Bayern Munich drop to fifth place. I think Union Berlin will play with gusto because of the difference of 3 points with Dortmund, who is in first place. They have the opportunity to beat Dortmund at the top of the Bundesliga. They have also never lost in six games. In addition, Wolsburg is also this season because they are in the Relegation Zone. I agree with you that Union Berlin will get 3 points.

Right now Union Berlin has a hard time with Wolfsburg but the match is just started and if they win this which I think they can then they will be in a further lead on the standings, but even if the result becomes a draw they still are leading the Bundesliga because right now they are the only one team in the Bundesliga that doesn't have any lost record,

Until week 7 the team who has undefeated is Union Berlin only and if they can win from Wolfsburg today they will return to first position on standings league and i am quite confident they can continue their undefeated records today because this season Union Berlin had good balanced offense and defense even Union Berlin currently is the team that has the strongest defense in the Bundesliga with only conceded 4 goals so far and on the paper they should be can beat Wolfsburg because this team is so weak and still struggle to avoid relegated zone

I think they are still on the top standing even though Dortmund have 5 wins, they also have 2 losses, which put their score off, while Union Berlin doesn't have any, but they have 3 draws if they can win against Wolfsberg that will be a large point for them, for now, we can surely speculate but it is still too early because we are in the midst of matchday 7, and right now Bayern Munich is really struggling Hoffenheim even have a good record than them,

Bayern have been playing very badly for weeks. If Lewa hadn't missed those goals in the Barcelona match and the penalty had not been given when it was 0-0, Bayern would have been disbanded in that match as well. I don't understand why there is this situation in Bayern. Nevertheless, no matter how many points Bayern Munich loses, they will still be champions at the end of the season...

Due to the world cup, the schedule is very tight, especially for teams with europe-league-cup matches. That's why there are more surprise results like this in this period. On the other hand, the tired player is prone to injury and no one wants to miss the world cup. So escaping games will be added to what I wrote at the beginning.

During 4 minutes of extra time, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer managed to head 2 times, one of which was taken off the line by the goalkeeper. It was such a match. Bayern obviously missing Lewa a lot. Mane is a good player of course but Mane was never a direct number 9, he played more on the wing in liverpool. It is not a wrong transfer, but playing number 9 is something else.

The thing is the Bayern Munich team already knows the kind of play Lewandowski is playing and they also know that Barcelona will be relying on him that is why they have done an incredible thing, many are saying that Barcelona should have won against Bayern Munich but Bayern have to to know Lewandowski's play pattern because he is in the team last season, and the player will get familiar with them as well, the Barcelona should not rely much on Lewandowski,

from the last 5 matches of Bayern, they only won 1 - drew 3 - and lost 1 (yesterday), I think that the impact of Lewandowski's departure has already been felt

Bayern's defeat of Augsburg is sure to be a strong motivation for the UCL teams that will face them. Bayern are really in danger of not getting a trophy this season if they keep playing like this, they have to bounce back

Losing a lot of points in 7 games this season meant that Bayern Munich had to drop to 4th place in the standings and could potentially be shifted if Hoffenheim were able to get 1 or 3 points against Freiburg in a few hours later. Actually Bayern Munich started this season quite well with 3 wins in the first 3 matches, but draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach was the start of the match. Bayern Munich had to drop points and the next match was held to a draw by Union Berlin and Stuttgart until last match totally failure get points after defeating by Augsburg. Drastically different performance showed by Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and Champion League because success win 2 match in 2 games.

[boris singer]

you're right about that. Bundesliga needs some big investors to help the competition become more competitive. It's not so difficult to talk about the competition itself. So many times bayern have been dominating this competition but i hope that if there will be something new in bundesliga.
that will be pretty interesting if there will be some new investors to the small clubs in bundesliga which will make competition become even strict.

Investors are also actually for the Bundesliga, I think it's still a little difficult, because as far as I know for the Bundesliga 51 percent of the club belongs to the supporters, so 49 percent is still very big, but the policy that the supporters want is much bigger. Bundesliga is not the same as other leagues where the owner of the club can decide anything here.

this is a very confusing thing, as if Bayern are not focused on Bundesliga matches but they have had a series of bad results in 4 Bundesliga matches.
but with the quality that Bayern have I'm sure they will be able to bounce back and defend the title again this season although it will be a bit difficult because some Bundesliga teams are now getting stronger.

We will watch a match where 2 teams with close scores play against each other. A match in which the winner can advance to second place.  So it will be very noticeable. It is also noteworthy that it is the last game of the week.  It's been an exciting Bundesliga season. Union did not lose and they are the leaders. Bayern are far behind, they need to pull themselves together soon.

[Marvell1]

I'm sure Bayern will get back on feet but the concerning fact for that game is that Bayern didn't manage to score and that happened after 87 total games. Funny or not , in 2014 , Augsburg stopped Bayern for scoring a goal after 65 games of scoring so like it or not , it seems Augsburg always had something to say when they played against Bayern. More than this , Bayern fans should not be worries as they are favorites to win UCL this year ...or so say the odds.

a result that certainly surprised all fans and also those who bet for the Munich win. looking at the statistic, it shouldn't be difficult for Munich to score. they controlled the game, making 19 shots but few on target. Munich indeed has problems up front. they weren't bad, but they didn't have a player who could completely break down the opponent's strong defense.
Munich may not be replaced by its current position in the standings if Hoffenheim and Frankfurt do not get a win. they get a pretty strong opponent, it looks like Munich may only be a little behind from the top 4 standings.

First of all, the finishing from Bayern Munich is not there. Secondly, I have seen that in the match, Bayern Munich is making some miss-passes and that also at some crucial times.

I think this is happening because of the pressure that they are feeling right now. Very high expectations were from Bayern Munich. But currently, they are not being able to deliver. Only 1 win for Bayern in the last 5 matches.

A lot of people are saying that this is happening because of Robert Lewandowski not being on the team anymore. To some extent, this is true because he was a player who can score in almost every match at any given time. But obviously, that cannot be an excuse. We always thought that Bayern Munich is a lot more than just Robert Lewandowski. But that really does not seem to be the case.

[Velvet78]

Bayern Munich's current condition in the Bundesliga is really inexplainable. While I was waiting for them to put an end to their winless streak they added another loss of points to that. After Augsburg got ahead Bayern Munich started to be even more effective and dominant. But they still couldn't score even one goal. I don't what is happening with the productivity of this team. They were much more different against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Does this mean to you that they are caring about the Champions League the most and having focusing problems about the Bundesliga games? Or maybe there is something more serious behind this which they had better solve it as quick as possible.

FT: Augsburg 1-0 Bayern Munich

Berisha's close-range goal saw Die Roten lose for the first time in the Bundesliga this season. The visitors' attack was nowhere near the level they showed against Barcelona in midweek, but their efforts were all thwarted thanks to a fantastic performance from Gikiewicz in goal in Augsburg.

Gikiewicz's performance showed just how solid Augsburg's defense was throughout the match, and provided an indication of how their game plan developed once Bayern entered all-out attack mode.

In one of the games of the season (I already forgot which one), the goalkeeper of the rival Bayern already set the Bundesliga record for the number of saves per game. Now we see another game where the opponent's goalkeeper shows a fantastic game. I would say that Bayern have an obvious problem with scoring goals - after all, the fantastic game of goalkeepers is the flip side of the fact that Bayern attackers do not do their job. I wonder if they have already begun to regret that they released Lewandosky or that they did not sign Ronaldo.

Union Berlin 2-0 Wolfsburg

My prediction was correct. Union Berlin is against Wolfsburg today. Although the first half was a goalless draw, Union Berlin played brilliantly in the second half and managed to score two goals. Union Berlin probably didn't attack much. But their performance was very organized. This is why Wolfsburg was able to score against Union Berlin despite playing a very defensive strategy.

Union Berlin is at the top of the points table after winning today's match with 17 points from 7 matches. They are 2 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund, and 5 points ahead of Bayern Munich. Union Berlin has had a good start to the season. If they can maintain this consistency, they will compete with Bayern Munich for the title.

Bayern Munich will soon realize that it is not easy to replace a world class striker. Bayern NEED a replacement for Lewandowski ! Not necessarily at Lewandowski's level but at least someone who still represents a high level and understands the role of a striker. Why not bring Harry Kane? He would suit Bayern in my opinion.

[NdaMk]

Sheraldo Becker with a brilliant assist and goal. The first was very well taken header by Jordan after a brilliant cross from Becker. The was a thing of master piece from Becker, although the there was controversies about the goal but the referee was right to award it. It was just bellow his arm sleeves. I think with Jordan and Becker's connection coupled with Union's composure at the back it's high time we take them seriously

I don't think Spurs will let him go unless they go big on for Kane. Kane is crucial for Spurs and to get him from Spurs will require lot of negotiations and convincing. Remember when Kane was unhappy with Spurs situation couple of seasons ago, City made a bid of around 120m/130m mark (don't recall clearly but was definitely above 100m mark) and that was denied by Spurs. So unless Bayern make a really big offer I don't think Spurs will let Kane go. Furthermore, convincing Kane is also another issue.

Tottenham is not interested in selling Harry Kane. Because Tottenham's key player is Harry Kane. Also, Harry Kane is probably not interested in moving to a new team. He has been with Tottenham for a long time. Although he could not win the title with this team,but he has adapted quite well. If Kane wanted to leave Tottenham he would have found a new team this season. Even several renowned teams were interested in Harry Kane. However, we might see Harry Kane at Tottenham in a few more seasons.

[Avirunes]

However, we might see Harry Kane at Tottenham in a few more seasons.

I would say probably till his career end. He seems to me kind of a dedicated type of player so its Tottenham till the end. Anyway, for Bayern its better to find someone else as a striker. There are lot of experienced they can find in the market or maybe invest some buying a young potential player like they did buying Lewandowski 8 years ago. Its not that hard, its just that they need to be smart about it and should be spot on.

Union Berlin probably didn't attack much. But their performance was very organized. This is why Wolfsburg was able to score against Union Berlin despite playing a very defensive strategy.

Union Berlin continues to surprise me. I could not watch their match live today but according to the statistics their win was deserved today. Even though most of the stats in this match were pretty even between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg, Berlin clearly had a few very good attempts to score while Wolfsburg did not have a single attempt on goal this match.
I don't believe that Union Berlin will be still in the top 4 of the table at the end of the season but every point that they are getting now gives them more confidence and less pressure, because i think their most important goal is still to stay in the league and with a start like that this is almost certain now again in my opinion.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I have just taken the ranking and have to say that I am slightly shocked by the performance of Bayern Munich. For years dominant and led from round 1 to the end. How different does it seem now? They are in 7th place. Played 7 games, won 3, drew 3 and lost 1. Those are not stats for Bayern Munich. I might have expected 3 draws and 1 defeat after 25 matches. Nice for the other teams at the top, Union Berlin is at the top. Nice for that team, which normally can never stand there. Dortmund hooks up well, but has already lost 2 times. If they really want to go for the championship then you can't lose 2x in the first 7 games. Well, the season is still very long.
