Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Unknown01]

Now Bayern Munich are just 2 points off leaders Union Berlin who have the same points as second-placed Freiburg. I said it was easy for Bayern Munich to be top of the table. At the same time the club that is above Bayern Munich has experienced a slight decline in performance. They judge a lot when the trend is negative and I think it's too hasty in judging Bayern Munich's performance. We can see now that they are slowly moving up the ranks and I'm sure in the near future they will take over the dominance in this Bundesliga. Although it will reduce the competitive level, but this is the Bundesliga by placing Bayern Munich as the main favourite.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is the undisputed favorite. Despite how they began the season, I was confident they would overtake the top table, and they are now slowly moving in that direction. The only team that consistently has a shot at challenging Bayern for the league's top rank is Dortmund. Three losses, including the most recent one against Cologne, have already been suffered by Dortmund.

Can they succeed without Haaland this season as he was one of their greatest players but is no longer with them? The next game between Bayern and Dortmund, who are currently tied with same points in the standings, is going to be an exciting one to watch.

Haaland's departure is a loss for Dortmund, you're right, but Bayern Munich isn't the strongest team in the Bundesliga at the moment either. Since Lewandowski left, in my opinion, Bayern have not filled his position and they have difficulties in the league!

If Bayern Munich is not the strongest team in the Bundesliga right now, then which team would you say is the strongest? Union Berlin is at the top of the points table. Is Berlin stronger than Bayern Munich? I don't think so. Because in the last match they lost against Frankfurt. Although this team has started the season well, they have not been able to play consistently well. Union Berlin is just 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich. And if Union Berlin doesn't win in the next match, we will see Bayern Munich or Freiburg at the top of the table. And I expect to see Bayern Munich at the top of the table in the next 3/4 weeks.

FC Schalke 04 VS FC Augsburg GOAL 2 - 3 - LOST

Schalke are not playing well, even though they still not in the relegation zone with only one point, they should have won this match or at least get a draw, their next match is against Bayern Leverkusen away, it's going to be really tough to get a point there, that's why it's really important to do best in their home stadium to try and win some points.

[Ratash]

Another win for augsburg team and ithis time the victims are shalke, a total change in their performance in the last three games, they managed three consecutive wins and they've beaten bayern munich in the last round which is not an easy task they are slowly advancing in the standings table if they keep this up it will be a big step into avoiding relegation early.

Augsburg's performance this season has improved significantly compared to the previous season. Which in the previous season Augsburg,
was in 14th position and almost relegated. Very different from Augsburg's performance this season, which is getting better by winning
3 consecutive wins. And what impressed many people with Augsburg's performance was when Augsburg beat Bayern. It's a very good
achievement for Augsburg to beat the best team in the Bundesliga.

The next interesting thing is that Augsburg managed to beat Schalke, although Augsburg only played with 10 men after Augsburg got
a red card. Supposedly most teams if they get a red card will have a hard time winning, but Augsburg who got a red card in the 70th minute,
but surprisingly Augsburg was able to score the winning goal in the 77th minute, even though they were only playing with 10 men.
This means that Augsburg players have a very high fighting spirit, and I am even more curious about Augsburg's match against Wolfsburg.
Whether Augsburg will continue their positive trend by winning the next match. If it's true that Augsburg can win against Wolfsburg,
then they can be in the top 6 and that's a great achievement for a team like Augsburg.

[iamsange]

It's only a matter of time. It was nice to see the 4 bayern munchen forwards sharing all the goals, It was the perfect formation for them, Muller played False 9 with Musiala having a free role while Mane and Sane did the job of breaking down the opposition defence.

Sadio Mane's performance at Bayern Munich is still not as great as he did at Liverpool. As a result, various accusations led to him. But I'm sure Mane will make a big contribution to Bayern Munich. There should be some people who accuse him of having to be more patient and give him time, then it's also inappropriate to compare him with Robert Lewandowski who clearly has a different type, besides that, Mane is also undergoing his first season in the Bundesliga and this of course needs an adaptation process.  

In addition, Nagelsmann must also understand his playing style. I totally agree if Mane is played in the wing forward position and in that position it will certainly make him comfortable and will find his true form again.

Schalke have struggled in every game this season, given their small spending during the summer transfer window, while the gloomy memory of the German giants having to be relegated from the top flight for the first time in 33 years, still remains a big scar for fans. The defeat suffered against Augsburg makes Schalke still haunted by returning to the second tier. If they don't immediately improve their performance, they will suffer again in the next tougher match.

[Lafu]

Was thinking that Schalke will be win at home against Augsburg , after they was coming back to the draw , sad that Augsburg scored the final winning goal with 10 players.
In the other game between Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim i thought Hoffenheim has the best chances , its good for Hertha to got the draw.
I like it how the table is now on the front with all the close places together and its getting interesting every weekend.

[jostorres]

It's not easy to managed the performance for each matches and it happend to Union Berlin yesterday that they failed to playing consistent and lose from Frankfurt and i am aware about this before because Frankfurt had good records from Union Berlin on their previous meetings so there is possibility to them can continue their good records from Union Berlin and apparently Frankfurt has successfully beat their opponent and get 3 points from this match and standings league is more competitive currently because distances points between Union Berlin  to top 4 are not so different

Exactly what I expected, Frankfurt would conquer Union Berlin at the Waldtadium. the result was also Union Berlin's first defeat in the Bundesliga this season. unfortunately, Dortmund could not shift the position of Union Berlin because Dortmund also had to be defeated during the match against FC Koln.
however, seeing the points that are not far adrift from level one to ranked fourth, makes the Bundesliga feel more competitive.
In the next few weeks, I'm sure Bayern Munich will be at the top of the Bundesliga again.

It was obvious from the start; people were too high on Union Berlin and we saw the result. Frankfurt is a great team and has been for a while now, and I always expected them to win. That is an important key factor and we should not be really seeing them as a losing team at almost any game (ok maybe against leipzig, dortmund and bayern).

Bundesliga is always filled with shocking results, Bayerns whole season is filled with shocking results so far, so we can't say that it was ever "obvious" because nothing is obvious in bundesliga. But it is clear that we are looking a better team who had worse odds for some reason and that part was shocking.

[püsür]

Union Berlin losing to Frankfurt was actually a big deal. I didn't expect it, even if we know that Union Berlin will eventually step down from the top position, I don't expect their defeat to come from Frankfurt. Assuming they lost to Bayern Munich or even Dortmund, it would have been somehow fair. But losing to Frankfurt wasn't the result I expected in the match.
Even though they lost the match against Frankfurt, Union Berlin didn't play bad or poor football. It is just that Frankfurt outsmarted them by getting the first two goals and then returned to play defensive match all through.

however, Frankfurt made a more efficient strategy to dampen Union Berlin's game. it's hard to predict, even if have to lose, maybe not by 2-0.
now it's Munich which is slowly starting to rise. they are close to points from Union and Freiburg. looks like the two Bundesliga giants are starting to take their thrones again. Munich and Dortmund.
I bet on Union Berlin and must admit I had no luck on this bet. it doesn't matter because it still benefits from other bets.

Union Berlin suffered their first defeat in their most undisciplined match in my opinion. The players could not come to an agreement, it is not clear who will pass where and where the defender throws the ball. This needs to be fixed urgently. They were better before the break. But I was not surprised by the defeat. Frankfurt is a very good team, both as a team and has great supporters. They have an eye-catching lineup of Trapp, Hasebe, Kamada, Götze and others. Trapp has performed well, he's already proven himself. But the goalkeeper was good, it would be absurd to say that they won only because of him. They played better than Union. The referee's red card decision was correct, the referee managed the match very well.

They were even ahead in numbers but couldn't make this a win for Schalke.
I was actually worried about the bet I had because I was on Augsburg's side with pretty good odds at the start of the game and I was already happy with their lead in the first half.
But the red card made me want to get out of the bet but luckily I didn't do that.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is the undisputed favorite. Despite how they began the season, I was confident they would overtake the top table, and they are now slowly moving in that direction. The only team that consistently has a shot at challenging Bayern for the league's top rank is Dortmund. Three losses, including the most recent one against Cologne, have already been suffered by Dortmund.

Can they succeed without Haaland this season as he was one of their greatest players but is no longer with them? The next game between Bayern and Dortmund, who are currently tied with same points in the standings, is going to be an exciting one to watch.

Haaland's departure is a loss for Dortmund, you're right, but Bayern Munich isn't the strongest team in the Bundesliga at the moment either. Since Lewandowski left, in my opinion, Bayern have not filled his position and they have difficulties in the league!

I asked in my mind, if sebastien haller is healthy then he will be one of the top scorers and make dortmund win every match they face? Before going to Man City, Haaland was Dortmund's mainstay striker and Haller was predicted to be his replacement. just imagine if schmitz didn't make an own goal, then dortmund would lose 3-1 to koln, this result is really disappointing especially for the bettors.

[Velvet78]

In less than a week there is a der Klassiker in Signal Iduna Park. It can feel interesting to see these teams facing each other without Haaland and Lewandowski this time but I still hope to see an enjoyable game. But those two players were playing a huge role in increasing the attention to the biggest game of the league. None of them has such player in their squad now.

It has been four years since Dortmund defeated them here last. If Bayern Munich still turn this into their advantage then they might be likely to get a win again. But I think this game will be very competitive. Bayern Munich seemed very capable against Leverkusen. Dortmund haven't been very impressive in the attacking line as they scored only 11 goals in 8 games. They need to be more productive in each game.

schalke may win when it will be against leverkusen. Leverkusen was so bad and it has been losing against bayern but this team is having worst performance compared with schalke. I don't even think leverkusen will able to beat schalke.
I may think that leverkusen can win easily against schalke. Schalke is only getting 6 points while leverkusen was still in the relegation zone. That's the worst for leverkusen. Leverkusen must win against schalke or it will be on very hard position.
The gap of leverkusen with another team may be even bigger

[LUCKMCFLY]

Dortmund missed a good chance today to be the leader of the Bundesliga, they were winning but couldn't keep the score for the rest of the match, we've seen something similar before against Manchester City in the champions league and against Werder Bremen in the league, the coach should work on that, they can't keep losing points like that.

This is one of the general problems of Borussia Dortmund. They cannot make good use of the week they will be leaders. Together with Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund closed this week in defeat. This week was the worst in the Bundesliga for these two teams because Bayern Munich won differently. If competing for leadership, these matches should not have been lost.

I didn't expect Union Berlin to lose 2-0 to Frankfurt. even with the many chances Union Berlin had. they can't score.
even with Kolo Muani's red card, still couldn't get Union Berlin to score. I'm sure they regret this bad result. it will make the competition at the top of the standings even tighter.

You know, these results are very normal in football. They also saw the red card at 68 and were up 2-0 before the red card. All they had to do was resist Union, they did that and didn't score. It was a productive match for Frankfurt. The players were exhausted but they earned an important 3 points. Although Union does not want to lose the dream, such loss of points means that they will end their dream.

Well, everyone expected more from Union Berlin, something if they told me that Frankfurt was going to play a great game and they did, I have no doubt that Frankfurt is very motivated and they are taking advantage of their good time, right now the Bundesliga can take any direction, I was very surprised by the result of Dortmund, it is incredible that a team that was controlled throughout the game has allowed itself to do that, I think that Dortmund needs a Haaland, someone who takes over the team on their shoulders, they have missed many opportunities, and the bad thing is that in football these opportunities are very difficult for them to come up again.

In less than a week there is a der Klassiker in Signal Iduna Park. It can feel interesting to see these teams facing each other without Haaland and Lewandowski this time but I still hope to see an enjoyable game.

Dortmund haven't been very impressive in the attacking line as they scored only 11 goals in 8 games. They need to be more productive in each game.

We are all eventually expecting very good results from Bayer and Dortmund, but these teams are very good and everyone expects very good results from them, but we must not forget that these German teams are not like in other leagues, where they do a lot of emphasis on the stars of the moment, when it was evident that Haaland did not want to be that way, he always stood out, he was a machine, on the other hand at Bayern they had a Lewa who always went for everything and was one of the best, which for me He was the best and worthy winner of the Ballon d'Or, I think that the German teams this time have to recognize that if they lack their stars, and that in some way this has been seen in their results, with some teams they have a hard time winning, and they were teams that failed to have very good results.

The team that needs the most here is Leverkusen, as I understand that you say that Leverkusen can and should win as long as it gives rise to Scalke, but we must not discredit the performance that Schalke has, and although games like the one that Schalke lost, nope they look good standing, I saw that they have a good attack, maybe they need a better alignment to hold up in defense, they are the only one, but I think that every team always fails in their defense, for me any of the two teams can win, no I could judge the performance of one team against another, since game strategies change a lot, it's not the same to play against Leverkusen as it is against Bayern, that's what I mean.


Among some news of interest regarding Dortmund we have this:

Baumgart on Modeste: "Tony isn't responsible for the crisis in Dortmund"

Speaking with Bild TV, Köln coach Steffen Baumgart defended Anthony Modeste and stated, "I don't think it's okay what's hitting him. Tony isn't responsible for the crisis in Dortmund, they're excuses. Strikers are dependent on the people behind them, it's no different with us."

Things get heated and it is better to say things in a press conference, before some corridor gossip is formed.

It is interesting because seeing Bayern and Dortmund in the same position and with a Dortmund in a presumed "crisis" makes this look different.

Given that their opponent was Augsburg, and we all know what have Augsburg done to Bayern Munich, they made a win against them even though it is just 1 win against Bayern Munich it is a big feat to achieve, well right now next match for Schalke are the Leverkusen and right now I think that Schalke have a slight advantage or they can win against Leverkusen right now,

Another win for augsburg team and ithis time the victims are shalke, a total change in their performance in the last three games, they managed three consecutive wins and they've beaten bayern munich in the last round which is not an easy task they are slowly advancing in the standings table if they keep this up it will be a big step into avoiding relegation early.

A team like Augsburg doesn't really have an easy task in getting up the standings, their score with Bayern Munich goes to show that they seem lucky in getting that, and the game stats suggested that Bayern Munich is dominating most of the stats, that is why I am not convinced to them that they would defeat Schalke,  but for me, Schalke still manage to give a good fight by getting the lead against Bayern Munich to a mere 1 goal,

I agree that their victory over Bayern Munich was a stroke of luck, because if you look at the statistics of the match it should be a win that belongs to Bayern Munich. But despite all that, Augsburg's performance has improved, although not significantly. But it's good to see their next game. the positive trend they slowly gain and slowly to leave further from the red zone. Their next match will be against Wolfsburg, of course this is not an easy match for them.

That was an important victory for Augsburg. As you already wrote it is very important that they score a lot of points at the beginning. The season is long and the more points they score at the beginning the further away they are from place 16
Schalke on the other hand, are already playing against relegation. 6 points from 8 games is very little. Next week they will play against Leverkusen. They also seem to be a candidate to fight against relegation.

[Gosgosking]

As I suspected before that Bayern Munich should be very easy to get a win but they deliberately wanted to lose because maybe it was part of the strategy given by the coach in order to get opponents easily and score a lot of goals and get high points so that it can have an influence on the acquisition of scores in the standings.

I don't think what you think about Bayern Munich loosing their match for sometime to get opponents was a plan work by Bayern Munich. When they started losing their match it was a challenge to them that time.

Yes, it doesn't make sense that they intentionally lose, what is clear is that they have difficulty scoring goals while dominating the game by creating chances. If they purposely lost the match, what advantage did they get? obviously not there, because they also play a major player. It was completely unreasonable because that would be tantamount to making things difficult for themselves. If you say it's a matter of luck, maybe it's still true, because with a game like that they deserve to win.
