Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[rahmad2nd]

Union Berlin will have an important match in the Europa League, where they must win the match at home to Sporting Braga later.  only one point adrift of Sporting Braga, meaning, Union Berlin have a chance to be in second place if they win this match.
in theory, this match will affect their performance later in the Bundesliga match. can have a bad influence or get a strong motivation to win the next matches.

but for sure, in the game next week. Union Berlin will host Gladbach, which incidentally they are not an easy opponent to beat. this result will be decisive for them to keep their distance with Bayern Munich, or the Bundesliga leaders will belong to Bayern Munich.  so let's see, what scenario will happen next week.

I think that it depends on whether or not all players stay healthy over the course of the whole season. If they advance to the next round in the Europa League, they will need everyone on board healthy or otherwise their Bundesliga performance might significantly suffer. Taking into account that their squad is by far not as much and high quality as Bayern's, Union Berlin would suffer from injuries much more and would get into trouble to compensate for that.

But yes, advancing in the Europa League can also set free a lot of positive energy. It gives you a boost in confidence and when you are successful there you can also beat anyone anytime in the Bundesliga.

I hope they'll make it as I started to like that club. Very down to earth and really good fighters on the pitch!

I can compare Union Berlin to a club in Ligue 1, Marseille. hectic schedule, injured players and in the end they are exhausted with a decline in performance in their domestic league.

So far, Union Berlin doesn't seem to have any problems with injured players. it's just that their fitness is very drained even more without second-tier players who are balanced with the first team. The wins that Union Berlin has built in the Bundesliga are inseparable from the collectivity of their game, their team work is really very solid and extraordinary and it is proven that Union Berlin is able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw. however, with minimal players, how long will Union Berlin be able to maintain the consistency of their game, with a very tight schedule.

tonight, their mission is to overthrow Sporting Braga at home, to smooth their way to second place. however, can Union Berlin consistently win this match.

Thomas Reis has already been mentioned in the media as a candidate. At Schalke it is only his second station as a professional coach. Before that he had been with Bochum since 2019. He was promoted with them, stayed in the league for a year and was sacked after the lost game against Schalke. Schalke already wanted him in the summer.
Nice fact: A transfer fee of €500k still has to be paid to Bochum. Reis will take over 200k€ of this.

FC Schalke tried to attract coach Thomas Reis and reportedly he agreed to it, If it is true that Thomas Reis became the coach of FC Schalke then this will be a very difficult task for Thomas Reis because he has to make the players have the spirit to get the win and of course Thomas must arrange a suitable strategy for FC Schalke.

It is definitely a challenge. On Sunday Schalke will play against Freiburg. That will not be an easy game for Schalke. Freiburg will play against Olympiakos in the Europa League today. But their advantage is that they play at home. So they do not have the hassle of travelling.
Thomas Reis has now 3 days to prepare the Schalke team so that they will not lose at least.

[Sterbens]

Schalke does not score any points. They do not have a coach. And now they do not have a sports director either. Rouven Schröder has resigned. The people in charge probably expected a new coach. But Schröder has not yet been able to present a new coach. Now Schalke is not only looking for a new coach, but also a new sports director.

I just see that if schalke is announcing a new coach. that's thomas reis former from bochum's coach who has become a new coach for schalke. Schalke has been making an official announcement on its twitter account about a him.

https://twitter.com/s04_en/status/1585531661579591688

With the arrival of a new coach for Schalke 04 they are expected to improve their performance after being said to have failed miserably until the 11th week. But will Thomas Reis be able to do well or not, because the team he will be dealing with is currently in its worst phase overall. Indeed, nothing will be impossible, but it will still feel more difficult to do it.

[Distraction]

Union Berlin must be feeling the pressure on the back of their neck right now. Because Bayern Munich are only one point behind them in the standings. They have started to recover and regain strength in the recent weeks. They can do this even without signing a striker now which is really great for them. Maybe they won't even think of bringing a striker in January because of this.

Because currently there is no need for it seemingly. There isn't any problem in not only the Bundesliga but also the Champions League. Of course it would be more advantageous for them to have a more reliable striker in the attacking line for raising their chance for the Champions League title. But it is up to the decision of the board of course. I don't even know if they can find the right player in the middle of the season.

3 days is not enough to prepare a team that is in decline and it is worse to prepare the team to play against a strong opponent, I doubt they will be able to stop Freiburg, they will lose against Freiburg, maybe in January they will be able to sign players, many people believe that when a team is in bad shape then it is enough to change the coach and things will be resolved, but it is not quite like that, if the coach finds players without certain qualities then the coach cannot do much, he has to wait for the market to be open to buy players for the strategy he wants to create

he will enter players who are not managing to produce results, the most he can achieve would be at least for the team not to lose too much while the market opens so that he can get players that suit his strategy, for now, ask them to win constantly would be asking for extremely difficult things

Indeed. Bayern Munich have returned to their old strength and it is only a matter of time before they are back at place 1. Union Berlin is certainly feeling the pressure.  But they have to focus on themselves and not look at the table. They have the extra burden because of the Europa League. But they will not be playing in that for much longer and then they can concentrate at the Bundesliga again. Nevertheless, I think the next few weeks will not be easy for Union Berlin and they will lose often.

Union is now getting more and more affected by the difficulty of staying consistent with a busy schedule so indeed in the last few games they have been quite shaky.
Currently, of course, Fischer must be able to make a good scheme and a very good rotation because they have to be in the DFB competition, the Bundesliga and the Europa League clearly need a really good rotation so that the players don't get too confused.

I predict that in the next few weeks Bayern Munich will take over the lead from union Berlin. As you said it will not be easy for Union Berlin to maintain its position now as Bayern Munich are also slowly finding their game again. It's true that they should focus on themselves and ignore everything their competitors are doing. Because if they focus on their competitors it will ruin their mentality.

I hope so but it seems difficult to be real. I think that we must also aware how this club was facing so many loses in a row without any points. Bochum can perform even better since it was able to beat the top standing club like union berlin.
Schalke is still struggling with its performance and it may be relegated again. The new coach has a very difficult time to make the team can come again to get some points.
There are so many pressures for schalke's player. The new coach was also getting that pressure instnatly after he agreed to be signed as a new coach for schalke.

Bayern Munich actually will back to top standing and right now behind 1 points left with Union Berlin, I think bad performance for Union Berlin waste the golden opportunity when loss from Bochum at last week games and failed to make 4 points difference. Union  Berlin need to be consistent if want keep on the top standing position, actually losing from Bochum as bottom team standings most disappointed with several top performance from Union Berlin against bigger team. Tonight have to focus at Europe League and Union Berlin still not safe can qualify to next round, seems make Union Berlin concentration not only at domestic league but also with Europe League.

[Velvet78]

I'm not very hopeful about Schalke's future in this season honestly.

Because I don't see any light. Manager changes always make the fans excited of course and we will see if it will make some effect on the team. But it will still be a very difficult season for them obviously. We are seeing them as the worst performing team of the season. They can at least score but their defense is in a very bad shape. Maybe new transfers to the defense line might be some help for them to get better. Above all else, new manager must help the players fix their mental problems to focus on the league matches more.

FC Schalke is devastated and no one wants to give any support there, it's really sad because there has to be a football club that is dead and doesn't have a future like this. FC Schalke must be able to bounce back next season and for this season it should be used for learning so that it doesn't happen in the next season.

This season Schalke is in a difficult situation, being at the bottom of the standings is the worst achievement achieved during his time in the Bundesliga. There is no support for Schalke against Freiburg in week 12. Although playing at home, Shalke is very difficult to win especially Freiburg is in the best condition this season.

Schalke are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone, they have only obtained 6 points from 11 matches. Schalke must save himself from the threat of relegation, a win can help improve his position in the standings, this time Schalke will have to fight hard because Freiburg are a difficult opponent to beat.

[YuginKadoya]

It was Bochum's second win. Bochum has lost 8 out of 11 matches this season. Such a weak team, that the top of the table Union Berlin would beat the team was a completely unexpected result. Berlin was defeated in this match because they did not play well. Union Berlin's performance was weak. Such a performance against a weak team like Bochum is a shame. If Union Berlin's coach is not able to find out his team's weaknesses then they will lose points in the upcoming matches as well and lose the top spot in the points table.

I really had low expectations for Bochum but in that game, agaisnt Union Berlin I have seen a different side of them and a different side of Union Berlin as well, but I still have small expectations for them, sure to win the championship that is, and would not risk betting for them aswell, but maybe a close game against Schalke, Stuttgart, or Leverkusen, I'd might manage on taking a risk for them,

Union Berlin will have an important match in the Europa League, where they must win the match at home to Sporting Braga later.  only one point adrift of Sporting Braga, meaning, Union Berlin have a chance to be in second place if they win this match.
in theory, this match will affect their performance later in the Bundesliga match. can have a bad influence or get a strong motivation to win the next matches.

but for sure, in the game next week. Union Berlin will host Gladbach, which incidentally they are not an easy opponent to beat. this result will be decisive for them to keep their distance with Bayern Munich, or the Bundesliga leaders will belong to Bayern Munich.  so let's see, what scenario will happen next week.

They have fallen to the 3rd spot, but well just because they have 2 losses, now, but they have now had 2 consecutive wins, maybe they can still manage to up their game, in actuality, I really haven't watched the game for the Europa League but maybe I will make a time for this aswell, and right now Freiburg is doing great at the moment but I think Arsenal is the formidable team right now,

I'm not very hopeful about Schalke's future in this season honestly.

But it will still be a very difficult season for them obviously. We are seeing them as the worst performing team of the season. They can at least score but their defense is in a very bad shape. Maybe new transfers to the defense line might be some help for them to get better. Above all else, new manager must help the players fix their mental problems to focus on the league matches more.

I surely doubt it could make a great impact but we will be and the next game is tomorrow maybe we can see some changes but I guess just a little, for me honestly, I think the coach Frank Kramer really did well in getting the team on the 1st division but surely this is the 1st division so it is complicated to say, but I think Matthias Kreutzer will still continue as a coach and Thomas Reis still doesn't have a transfer fee for Schalke and Bochum to agree upon,

Yes, it is true that Union Berlin squandered a chance they could have turned into a win against Bochum and with their loss now Union Berlin are only 1 point adrift of Bayern Munich. If they can't be consistent then it will be easy for Bayern Munich to move them from the top of the table.
In the Europa League they are also very difficult to qualify because all 4 teams in the group have the same points. Now they are playing games and the score is still 0-0.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Schalke are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone, they have only obtained 6 points from 11 matches. Schalke must save himself from the threat of relegation, a win can help improve his position in the standings, this time Schalke will have to fight hard because Freiburg are a difficult opponent to beat.

Schalke's performance this season has been poor. They won only 1 out of 11 matches. Schalke's main weakness is their very weak defence. The defenders are not able to perform well. Schalke conceded 26 goals in 11 matches. If the defenders had performed well, Schalke would not have been at the bottom of the table. The Schalke management will definitely need to bring in a number of players in the winter transfer window. In particular, they must try to strengthen their defence. Schalke will not be able to get out of the relegation zone unless the defence is strengthened and their match tactics are not changed.

[Zackgeno96]

It is also very disappointing what Schalke is showing. You would hardly say that this was the great Schalke that won 3-4 years ago at Real Madrid in Madrid and almost eliminated Real Madrid. That was when Klaas Jan Huntelaar still played there. I don't know exactly what went wrong with this team, could it have something to do with a sponsor, for example? We would really like to see Schalke back in the top 6 but I'm afraid that is a utopia for this season. They will have to hope that they do not relegate, that will be the selling point. Goal Union Berlin should be European football, right?

Schalke are promotion team in this season at Bundesliga and have indicated to get back relegation to Bundesliga II after poor performance and have the only 1 won from 11 matches. Schalke are the second worst team in the Bundesliga with 26 goals conceded in 11 matches after Bochum with the most goals conceded with 28 goals. Have little advantage although Schalke on bottom standing at Bundesliga with several team above just difference with few points only, if one time win Schalke have chance out from relegation team but I doubt with performance from Schalke after last time won at against Bochum on 10 September or more than one moths ago.

union berlin can't make any more mistakes if they want to stay at the top of the standings, if they lose against Monchengladbach then their hopes will be dashed to shift the domination of Bayern so far. switch to the european league, currently the union vs braga score is still 0-0 and braga is looking good too.

in league 2 schalke is a great team but in league 1 they are very bad, schalke has become a subscription to a relegated team.

[el kaka22]

Schalke may have managed to get back, but that doesn't mean that they were good, they were just good for the league below, but they are still not good for bundesliga. I believe that they are going to drop again very quickly, as it is obvious from the results unless something major changes.

And this time around they have tried so hard to get back last year that next year financially it wouldn't be possible to get all those names, and I am guessing that this time around they won't be coming back neither. That’s why it’s easier to see them both going down but also not getting back and spending a few years at the lower end of the league below for a few years.
