Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Oneandpure]

If Eintracht Frankfurt continues to play so well, then they will be right behind Bayern Munich on 2nd place. Currently they have 26 points and Bayern 31, they are not far away. In the last 8 games, Frankfurt win 7 Matches and the one game against Dortmund they have lost with 1:2. This Sunday, Frankfurt must go to Mainz, and the chances of another 3 points are high. There preformance ist now very good.

Slowly Frankfurt have success lead top current standing right now after several impressive perform and qualify to next round at Champion League make Frankfurt more confidence at Bundesliga. Have won 4 match in last 5 matches I think most impressive performance from Frankfurt at Bundesliga and reach fourth position standing awhile with 1 points remaining from Union Berlin at 2rd standing. Last game before World Cup have chance for Frankfurt back to 2rd standing if Union Berlin and Freiburg failed to win next weeks and Frankfurt defeat Mainz.

Frankfurt have bad started early at Bundesliga and waiting until matchday 4 get full points beaten Werder Bremen 3-4 before continues consistent performance not only at domestic league but also champion league until one ticket in their hands qualify to 16 round.

Even in the Champions League group stage they were not at their very best they were only lucky to have ManCity has the only opposition on the same group with them. They succeeded in getting only 9 points from 6 matches home and away with more draws than wins. Dortmund needs to improve both on the Bundles League and CL as they prepare to meet Chelsea at Signal Iduna Park.

This season Dortmund performance has not been really going well . Dortmund performance is kind of better in the Champions League group stage despite their inconsistent performance in the Bundesliga  league. If Dortmund improve on their performance it is not too late for them to be at the top .

Bayern are back to what they know how to do best winning with big goal margins. When  Werder got their equalising goal in the 10' i knew the match will be flooded with more goals but 6 was too much of an expectation.

Bayern returned to their unique form of performance before now, it is not something  new. Bayerns performance in the match was very solid with a good number of goals.

[Sterbens]

Bayern Munich are in a more comfortable condition now after Union Berlin and Freiburg both lost points on the same week. However Bayern Munich just demolished Werder Bremen by 6-1. It was the classic Bayern. 

Scoring 47 goals in 14 games is just insane. Bayern Munich are just showing the Bundesliga very easy. They are still destroying everyone one by one despite selling Lewandowski. It is obvious that they would be the champions with this level of effort. However I wonder how far they will make it in the Champions League. Choupo-Moting is the only useful striker technically but Nagelsmann might try some different things such as putting a winger at the centre as well. He's already tried it before with Mane for example.

With many doubts pinned on Bayern Munich from some people now answered with statistics and back at the top of the table. You're right, it's Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga which they can say is theirs. In fact the teams that put them under pressure at the start of the season slipped by themselves and it didn't take long for Bayern Munich to return to the top of the table in Week 13 to be exact.
If we talk about the Champions League, then their job will be more difficult of course. It is filled with big teams and also has very good performance and with consistent performance. It's hard to predict how far Bayern Munich will go in the Champions League.

Wolfsburg  1 : 0 Dortmund

I am enjoying the match between Wolfsburg and Dortmund. And after 75 minutes the Dortmund team is trailing 1-0. I like Wolfsburg's gameplay better than Dortmund's gameplay. Dortmund continued their poor performance in previous matches. Dortmund's players are quite talented. But their match strategy is not good. Even though they had 62% possession of the ball in today's match, they attacked less than Wolfsburg. If they had played an attacking strategy like last season, their gameplay would probably have improved. Wolfsburg players are playing well. I think Dortmund is going to lose this match.

It is sad that Dortmund lost the game. Dortmund let up the game's first goal. After an hour of extra time, they also let up the second goal. I think that poor game planning contributed to Dortmund's loss. Dortmund aimed to maintain a strong defense and limited assault in the first half. Dortmund has used similar match strategies in previous games, however, it is not always successful.  The result of the game may have changed if Dortmund's offense had better and counter the attack of the Wolfsburg .

I really like Frankfurt more and more and how they are playing right now and that they managed to win against Hoffeheim.
Also im happy that Mario Götze got nominated with 2 other new players for World Cup into the National Team today from Flick .
Leipzig mad a big step forward with there win about Freiburg and Union Berlin faild with just playing a draw.

[Jossque]

FC Köln lost the match after leading in the first half. Leverkusen scored two goals in the second half to win the match.
Frankfurt continues unabated. It must be said that they have no problem in finding goals. They scored in most of their league matches. They play with an average of 2.2 goals per game.
Schalke 04 won after a long time. With this win, they got their 2nd win in the league.

[emrecemsan]

Dortmund's performance shouldn't be much surprising to tell the truth. Because they don't change their usual game plan and this prevents them from being more ambitious for the league title. This season would be another one which they don't make any trouble for Bayern Munich on the road going to the championship without doubt.

They have lost nearly half of their matches so far though. They surely need some improvement otherwise it would wound them deeply in the long run. It must be still important for them not to drop from being the second biggest team of the league. Whenever they start to focus on being the champions in the league more than investing into young players to make profit by selling them, then we can start seeing some ambition from Dortmund. As the Bundesliga is boring about a title race I wouldn't say no to seeing another contender.

Frankfurt's 2 quick goals really made me quite excited in this bet, although I was surprised that Hoffenheim could reduce the deficit to 3-2 early in the second half but Jesper Lindstorm's goal locked the final result.
Nice win for Frankfurt in this fixture and there is only one more game waiting for them now before the holidays.

Before the start of the championship, many wrote that Bayern were guaranteed to take first place, and Borussia second. But I wrote that everyone has a chance for second place because Borussia is unstable. And Borussia confirms its instability - 6th place with 5 losses. And only one draw (when they saved themselves in the game with Bayern). Nonserious team.

They may have gone down a bit, but that doesn't make them a bad team at all. I have to say that they are still quite good, and maybe they lose a bit here and there, but they are still winning more than they lose. Right now, they have only 2 points between them and the second place, which they can take care of after the world cup.

I am not saying they will surely finish second, anything could happen in football, but they are doing fine, especially considering they lost a player like Haaland and still this close to the race? That means they are doing something right for sure. I wouldn't lose hope on them just yet, they may still surprise everyone and have a good win streak.

Dortmund isnt bringing any top players at all to their club. They are just a youth talent machine and you honestly cannot win this league without a superstar or an older player. Bayern Munich will again walk over this league easily. Really a shame that no one can stand up to them

[TheGreatPython]

As I said in the previous post, that Leverkusen will beat the home team. After beating Union Berlin with a landslide score, Leverkusen will continue their victory when they play away to Koln. although actually Koln have a better record when they play matches at their own headquarters. but in the end, Koln was defeated in their own base. with these two results this victory, Leverkusen rose to rank 11 which was originally in the relegation zone. in this match, I won the bet to bet on Leverkusen.

Next, Leverkusen will play against Stuttgart at BayArena, their home base. Alonxo is targeting a win for the third time in a row, so their ranking will automatically rise and be in the safe zone. as for Stuttgart, they also need a win to secure their ranking from being in the relegation zone.
however In my estimation, Leverkusen will win this match.

Alonso's strategy is working for him and in first phase he is able to bring out of relegation jail which is surely positive improvement after the worst start of this season and right now if they are able to win against Stuttgart then surely they are going in middle of the league table and this could be good for the team and coach because with this success and hard work they can bring better results in coming weeks even they can challenge teams for the European competitions which was not possible with the start of the season.

Now they have good time for doing some improvements because after the break they need to be more improved side with having better results specially for the UEFA Europa Cup knock out stage where they are going to face another big club from France Monaco they have to be aggressive because they have quality and ability to fight back but need consistency which is important for positive results.

There is no doubt Borussia Dortmund is good side, and they still have ability to fight back but things looking very tough in this season specially now Frankfurt and Leipzig are back in good form and their improvement in ranks is also giving good lifeline to all teams for having fair chance Union Berlin and Dortmund both are on bath run with Dortmund is currently at sixth but Union Berlin is still having second spot which can go away from them soon because they already lost two matches and have one draw in last four matches and their next challenge is against Freiburg which is currently third and having good form so if they lost against Freiburg then surely they are going to drop out from second spot even they can go down fifth or sixth spot which could be not suitable as they were playing in first ten rounds.

Bayern Munich is already back in their business and have top spot which is clearly having four points gape which is not going to increase because they are back in good touch with no team can stop them in Bundesliga.

Maybe we should get information from the coach of Dortmund after this game to hear his side of the story because from all indications Dortmund has no excuse as to why they lost against a team like Wolfsburg that has won just four games in 13 matches in the League before defeating Dortmund. The next round of the Champions League can't be the reason of course the time is still far I think Dortmund is going through the same problem we saw in Bayern Munich whereby they were doing well in the Champions League but losing matches in their League before they bounce back to winning ways. What Dortmund needs in the team right now is a bit of seriousness because going with their performance yesterday they made good goal attempts and a lot of chances were created but they couldn't convert the opportunities to score goals.

I will say these things happen, in my years of been a fanatic and football lover I know there are always bad days and good days. Some days you give in your all and still fall short of goal numbers, some other days you get the numbers even without putting a hundred percent effort so it happens. The weaker team were the better side and they got the points the best thing is to pick positives and move on and try to do better in the next game.

Dortmund are used to dropping stinkers like the his in matches one wound consider them to win. Looking at the team there is talent and quality but nothing goes well against small teams. Previous seasons I thought it was lack of proper strikers but Haaland, Aubameyang have come and go and nothing changed. Right now Anthony Modeste is having something like is worst bundesliga season here. I just feel the thing isn't about switching coaches but rather they should have defined style of play and also is time to start calling out these players too not just the coach

[Rengga Jati]

Frankfurt is currently on fire and is playing with pretty good consistency. In fact, they are currently ranked 4th with a point that is quite close to other clubs above it. After becoming the holder of the European League trophy last season, this one club is starting to look even better. Although at the beginning of the season they didn't look so good, lately, they were able to survive and improve their performance so that they were able to be in the top 4 as they are now.

This is very different from Dortmund's condition where they finished out of the top 5 and only ranked 6. Week 16 might be a decisive week because if Leipzig loses to Bayern and Dortmund can win against Augsburg, then Dortmund can take over 5th place.

Frankfurt gave a lot of surprises in yesterday's match against Hoffenheim they managed to win 4-2 this is a great achievement for Frankfurt, hopefully they can maintain their game strategy and always get the win easily. Frankfurt managed to take 4th place from this standings and there is still potential to get into the top 3 positions.

Frankfurt continues unabated. It must be said that they have no problem in finding goals. They scored in most of their league matches. They play with an average of 2.2 goals per game.
Schalke 04 won after a long time. With this win, they got their 2nd win in the league.

Leverkusen continue their winning streak. They are now out of the relegation zone after winning two matches. And compared to the previous matches, their performance is much better now.
Frankfurt's attack was very effective against Hoffenheim. They scored two goals in the first 8 minutes to go ahead. They were leading 3-1 in the first half. And so there is no problem for Frankfurt to win this match.
Even though Schalke won, Schalke is the last team in the table. They need to play consistently well if they want to get out of the relegation zone.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Leipzig vs Leverkusen and home team in the good condition they had 8 times unbeatable in all competitions and one of important winning is when they able to beat Real Madrid on champion league so obviously Leipzig mentally is very good and against Leverkusen today i am sure they will gets 3 points from it especially Leverkusen under Alonso still find their shape and unstable so this match will belongs to Leipzig

For other match Frankfurt vs Dortmund actually this match results is hard to predicted because i have to say the conditions for both of teams is not so different but maybe Dortmund has slightly better because they were successfully stole point from Manchester City and qualify to knockout stage on champion league and actually last season Dortmund was able to beat Frankfurt several times but for today match i highly doubt because Dortmund performance on Bundesliga was unstable and for this match i might to think to bet over 2.5 goals this because both of teams were quite productive and possibly will scoring goals for each other

There is a very favorable point that I want to highlight, Dortmund is a very complete team, of course nothing to do with Lewa in those days when Dortmund had many teams on their knees, the technical director has always been a very iconic character and I also consider it very good, at that time I managed a squad that in every competition always put its best style of play according to the team to face, one of the things I saw was that every team played with a different strategy and that It's very unusual, I don't know if I watched all the games of each of their rivals, but I really admire the firmness in those games by the team, I think that's what Dortmund is doing.

Leverkusen and Xavi Alonso needs those 3 points today against Koln and so far the game is not looking promising for them at all even if we are only 25 minutes into the game. More than this , Koln are in a bad situation as well and they needs points today as well but Alonso might be in trouble if we won't snatch at least 1 point from Koln.

Frankfurt - Hoffenheim should be the game of the night in Bundesliga and I'm expecting a lot of goals from this game and ready to trow a bet on both teams to score in first half.

I left Koln leading with 1 goal vs Leverkusen and I was like here we go again but now I see they managed to score 2 goals and win! Second win, did Leverkusen recover finally?

Leverkusen won the match 2-1. And their performance was stable. They were very tactical in this match. And in the end, they managed to win. However, throughout the match, we saw Koln dominate. Leverkusen got back on track with an impressive 5-0 win over Union Berlin. And I think the Leverkusen team is difficult to hold back now. They will improve themselves and gradually climb up the points table. Now Leverkusen is 13th on the table. And I guess within the next few matches they can get into the top 10 of the table.

Well we have to consider something very important, the arrival of Xabi Alonso is key for this team, Leverkusen is a great change, in fact it was in danger of relegation and very likely if they had not made such an effective decision to hire Xabi they would have done so very quickly, for me the hero of this team is Xabi Alonso, because apart from that he has managed to engage all the players and play good football, something that he needed quickly, in fact I think that if they can quickly reach position No. 10 in the table, it's just a matter of continuing to perform as well as they have shown.

On the other hand the competition is tough, playing in the Bundesliga is not easy at all, the toughest teams are the ones that are always in the first places, and when they position themselves there it is very difficult to dethrone them, however if Xabi Alonso continues to do his work you have to be careful.

“No magic words”: Xabi Alonso explains how Bayer 04 Leverkusen beat Union Berlin 5:0 after a frustrating first half

“For sure we have players who have this power to run,” Alonso said, “but we were stable. We started with the runs from the strikers, with the duels, and that’s the basic element that we need for each game.”

Citing the team’s “control” and “capacity to score goals,” Alonso said, “We want to build on” the result against Union. “Of course, we need time. We have the last week [before the break]. Today was important and we want to keep going.”

These are the things that I like about football, nothing more than determination is needed, there is no denying that Xabi's incredible experience is something that has helped this team a lot, I also remember when Xabi played for Real Madrid, he was a very confident player, half court was a master.

Dortmund's performance since the start of the season has been inconsistent, every week they are not able to maintain a good performance to make them currently slumped in 6th place in the standings with 5 defeats from 14 matches.
I think this is the Dortmund team every season, they are not an ambitious team and this season the Bundesliga competition has been very tight with many teams that have risen to make Dortmund slump this season.
So far, looking at Dortmund's performance, I think they will be able to finish in the top 4 in the final standings to get a UCL ticket.

Being able to be in the top 4 of the standings at the end of the season has been very good for Dortmund this season because I see them starting to sink with no improvement in the way they play in matches so the bad position that Dortmund is currently getting is a very natural thing. And in the UCL this season I think Dortmund will not be so good if you look at their performances so far in the Bundesliga, besides the other tough thing in February is that Dortmund will directly meet Chelsea in the UCL.

I honestly don’t think that Borussia Dortmund is playing a good season after all. They are Bayern's main competitor and they struggle since nine (!) years to win a single Bundesliga title. And it’s the same inconsistent sh*t again this season. They win a few games and play decent, then they start randomly losing against weaker teams. I don’t know, but how do you want to win a Bundesliga title like this?

I would really be happy if there would be a different team than Bayern winning the league, but it’s looks impossible (again) this season. It’s a real pitty.
