Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Pokapoka124]

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.

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.

Sadio Mane plays much better when playing from the wings and has been playing as a striker for Bayern Munich this season, I also think it would be better if Bayern are able to get a natural 9 who will take that position it will be much better and even make room for Mane to play from his preferred position. It will take a lot of convincing for Harry Kane to make a move to Bayern, might even cost them up to £100m for the transfer.

as kicker.de reports today, the out-of-contract defender Dan-Axel Zagadou will move to vfb stuttgart. this sunday, the obligatory medical check is to be completed. Zagadou was the last 5 years at the league rivals borussia dortmund under contract.

Zagadou didn't have much playing time last season. central defender who I think is quite strong but doesn't get much playing time.
only played 15 times in 1 season in the Bundesliga last season and did not show much of his best performance. and this decision to move I think will be good for Zagadou as well in his efforts to become in the main squad and get more places to play.

He was the type of player that shouldn't have been left contractless anyway, it is a good decision to get him, Stuttgart made a good decision there, don't know why it took so long to get him to be fair. It's going to take a while before he adjust to playing again, he hasn't played a game since last year, which means at least 4-5 months of break right?

And that is why it's smarter to first put him on practice, and then put him in the late games, and then slowly put him in cup games etc etc before you start to give him 90 minute playing time. Otherwise he is going to be out of breath by second half and defenders can't be tired, they would be beaten by strikers too easily and allow goals.

Honestly, Zagadou is an exceptional talent, unfortunately he's always struggling with injuries and that's probably why the contract with BVB wasn't extended. However, I am happy that he's found a new club and that he's staying and playing in the Bundesliga. I keep my fingers crossed that he stays fit and is a good reinforcement for Stuttgart.

It will take a lot of convincing for Harry Kane to make a move to Bayern, might even cost them up to £100m for the transfer.

It will be better but indeed on the other hand it seems that bringing Kane at the moment is quite difficult.
He is starting to rediscover his form at Tottenham after last season lost momentum there. on the other hand he is an important part for Conte so it will probably be the same as Manchester City did a few seasons ago with Kane's drama.
But indeed when Bayern dare to pay a big clause I don't think this is a problem.

[1kodumtek7]

Bayern Munich has proven once more how bad they need a complete forward like Lewandowski. They still continue to lose points in the Bundesliga because of not being productive. Being unable to score against even a team like Augsburg is indicating a huge problem for them. Mane is a great transfer but he shouldn't be their striker choice. Mane should play on the wing just as it was at Liverpool. Maybe it is difficult but they had better do their best to sign Kane. He is the most logical player to be brought to the team now to solve the scoring issues.

[baeva]

Shocking result from Bayern Munich today and they should have won against a weak opponent today. This is good for the league that Bayern Munich drops points so that it becomes really intresting. We can expect in next matches easy wins from Bayern due to a bad couple of matches

I was sure that Bayern would win today, and did not consider them for a bet because the odds were too low. Something inexplicable is happening to Bayern in the Bundesliga, why can't they win so many matches in a row? This despite the fact that they dominated in all matches. It's very strange, but in the Champions League they win their matches.

Yes, there could be many reasons, or maybe they just didn't have the best start to the season, without any attitude to the game. On top of that, the team's scorer, who really did a great job and scored a lot of goals, is gone. Bayern will manage without him, of course, but they need to get used to it

It seems the most plausible reason is Bayern lost their goal scoring machine, since Bayern lost Lewandowski they seem to have difficulty scoring
goals. Even when facing Augsburg many chances were created by Bayern, in addition to Gikiewicz's incredible performance by making 7 important
saves, Sadio Mane as a striker played badly and couldn't score. In fact, if Bayern's front line is productive they can win against Augsburg. It looks like
Bayern should immediately bring in a striker to replace Lewandowski, because Sadio Mane is ineffective as a centre-forward.

But what surprises me is that even though Bayern are doing poorly in the Bundesliga, but Bayern played very well in the Champions League.
I don't know why Bayern's performance is so different when they play in the Bundesliga, now in 4 matches in a row they failed to win, hopefully Bayern
can return to their best form soon. But with Bayern's poor results, it must be admitted that the Bundesliga is much more attractive, because there is
a possibility that Bayern's dominance in this season will end.

In the Champions League I do not remember them playing badly, at least the last few seasons so for sure. Sadio Mane is really not suitable for the position of a central striker, he should have been placed on the wing and I think he played better and felt more comfortable in that position

[Z-tight]

Sadio Mane plays much better when playing from the wings and has been playing as a striker for Bayern Munich this season, I also think it would be better if Bayern are able to get a natural 9 who will take that position it will be much better and even make room for Mane to play from his preferred position. It will take a lot of convincing for Harry Kane to make a move to Bayern, might even cost them up to £100m for the transfer.

I do not feel that bayern even bought Mane to replace Lewandowski, they should know better that Mane is not a perfect number 9, even when he was a Liverpool player, he was not a center forward, he and Salah attacked from either side of the wings, while Firminho was in the central attacking position, if Lewandowski was still around, i feel Mane would have started shining for his new club because he will be playing where he is more comfortable. Whenever i watch Bayern play lately, i don't even know who is their center forward, sometimes i see Mane in that role, some other times it is Sane, i feel bayern need to start searching for a good striker, someone they can buy in January, and Kane isn't that person.

It really upsets me because seeing Bayern Munich lose to Augsbrg only one point behind, usually Bayern Munich is not like this and this is a nightmare for those who bet on Bayern Munich automatically get defeat and suffer losses, really unexpected things can happen here. Bayern Munich must evaluate this and in the future must be able to get a win like in the previous few matches.

Yes, for some reason Bayern was like a comedic group at that time, even when the Bayern players entered the field, Bayern's aura of intimidation and strength was visible, but now, that aura is fading and it's getting here to get worse. There is something wrong with the club, especially the tactics that are applied as if they are not in accordance with the characteristics of the players. Or because currently at Bayern there are no more Superstars? 

Now, Union Berlin and Dortmund, are the clubs that play always optimally and consistently so far. This seems that the two are really on fire, moreover seeing how the codnition of Bayern right now.

[Velvet78]

We have a really interesting standings now after a long time in the Bundesliga. Union Berlin are the leader and they are the only team without a loss. Dortmund are right behind them by a two-point gap. Bayern Munich are at the 5th position now. Their streak without a win has gone up to four games and they are becoming less trustworthy to bet on by every week. I still don't get how they didn't bring a striker after selling Lewandowski. What was the thing that made them think like the current squad was enough. They are in need of a striker who has similar features to Lewandowski. This seems like their only way out now.

[Sterbens]

Leverkusen still can't get up from adversity, game after game they struggle to get 3 points. Of the 7 matches played, they were only able to record a win against Mainz 05 in week 4. There is still a lot of work for them to fix and it concerns the whole team. At first I believed they would be able to compete in the top flight, but in reality they are far from expectations.

Leverkusen is really suffering. There has only been one win in their last seven matches. I do not think this is a good start for the team at all. It seems that they will not be able to finish in the top 3 this season since they finished third in the last season and have started the season so poorly.

In spite of that, it is still very early to make such a statement. They will face Bayern Munich in the next match, which will be played on the 1st of October. It doesn't seem like things are getting any easier for them at the moment. Bayern Munich is also not in good form at the moment. It is safe to assume that they will do everything within their power to maximize the outcome of this match to their advantage.

You are right that Leverkusen is suffering and that they got not much out for now of there played games.
But i guess its to early to say that they are not able to finish the season in the top 7 of the table at the end of the season.
They have done at least in CH well.

Looks like that Union Berlin keep up there good performance in League even when they lost there last match under the week in the Europa League.
I expected a win for Freiburg yesterday against Hoffenheim so it wasnt a good bet weekend for me.

Leverkusen are still trying to perform at their best and in the previous match it was a shame they couldn't get a win even though it only made a draw and a small score, but hopefully at the beginning of October they can bounce back and beat Bayern Munich, this depends on Bayern's game Munich, when they are not serious then Leverkusen can get a win easily, In the previous match Bayern Munich played not seriously and often lost.

True, it is too early to judge their position at the end of the season. Because the season is still very long, there are still many opportunities for them to improve their ranking in the standings table. But now I have not seen them go that far (in improving their position). It's because their game hasn't developed yet, so how can they do that if their own game is still like this

Let's say Leverkusen are better and Bayern Munich are not in good form right now. But to be honest, I still have my doubts about Leverkusen seeing what they show. Bayern Munich were just unlucky in their previous 4 matches which caused them to drop a lot of points in the standings. In this game obviously, Bayern Munich is my favourite.

Mane should play on the wing just as it was at Liverpool. Maybe it is difficult but they had better do their best to sign Kane. He is the most logical player to be brought to the team now to solve the scoring issues.

Nagelsmann strategy was wrong when he thought Bayern can be more better without Lewandowski because he has left big hole to forward line Bayern and this also became an Bayern weakness this season because there is no player who can replaced him and when people expects Mane will be successfull to played as centre striker but in fact he failed to adapt even Mane already through 5 matches without scoring goals and so far this is his bad records compared to when he was a Liverpool player and Nagelsmann position also will not comfortable because some rumours mentioned he will be replaced by Tuchel

[aylabadia05]

Union Berlin win. Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund also picked up wins this week. Bayern Munich fans should be heartened to see their team's position in the fifth position of the Bundesliga standings for a while. Union Berlin performed exceptionally so that they are now firmly in 1st position in the standings.

FC Freiburg have a chance to occupy second place if they are able to win at PreZero Arena as the Hoffenheim venue.
The following week, Bayern Munich will host Bayern Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena. I'm sure that Bayern Munich will go all out.

Bayern Munich were just unlucky in their previous 4 matches which caused them to drop a lot of points in the standings. In this game obviously, Bayern Munich is my favourite.

Bayern Leverkusen are still very close to the relegation rankings where Leverkusen are still in 15th place in the provisional standings for now after seven games this season.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is still able to be in the top five of the Bundesliga standings at the moment with a difference in the number of points that is not too far from the teams in second, third and fourth place. So how can one say that Bayern Leverkusen are better at the moment and Bayern Munich are not in good form at the moment?

Union Berlin has been quite impressive in the Bundesliga in seven matches with 17 points, and is currently at the top of the standings. dortmund is one of the challengers who can shift Union rankings, only two points adrift. in contrast to the Europa competition, Union Berlin had to lose against USG and Sporting Braga.
I'm not sure Union Berlin can maintain its rankings for long enough, the top ranking changes in the Bundesliga will change in a short time.
As for bayern munich, bayern is currently in a downward trend. in the last four matches, none of the victories that can be achieved by Nagelsmann's squad.
This record is an important point for Nagelsmann to improve their performance in the next match. without Lewandowski, i have no doubt that Bayern will be back at the top of the Bundesliga.

I am very disappointed with the performance of Leipzig and Leverkusen. These two are one of the most renowned teams in the Bundesliga. But they are now 12th and 15th in the points table respectively. I definitely want to see them in the top 5/6. Mainly due to weak defense they are not able to play well.
Bayern Munich is the fifth team on the table. 5 points behind Union Berlin. Even so, Munich has the best chance of winning the title. Because Bundesliga teams cannot play consistently well. Gradually other teams will lose form.
