Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[KTChampions]

Bayern Munich will need to keep their best players in the team as much as possible. Because they have already experienced what happens when they do so. Lewandowski's departure affected them really badly at first. They had productivity problems for a long time in the Bundesliga especially. They maintained a bad form which resulted in some other team's taking the lead for many weeks. Of course there is a big improvement in their performance recently. But if they lose another crucial player they might have the same experience.

Bayern Munich should just focus on how they can make the squad even stronger. The best way seems like to sign a top striker next summer. They might not need such transfer in January considering their recent form.

I think you exaggerate the importance of Lewandowski. This season, Bayern have an average of 3.2 goals per game in the Bundesliga and exactly 3 in the Champions League (and a 100% result in the difficult group). It's hard to call this low productivity, isn't it? In the summer they will need a central striker, but they would be looking for him anyway, since Lewandowski would have ended his contract in 2023 anyway and even if they extended it, he no longer had great prospects in Bayern.

all well manuel and get well soon

Sadio Mané, Lucas Hernandez and now Neuer. these are already heavy losses.

[MinoRaiola]

After Manuel Neuer's injury, FC Bayern search maybe now an new goalkeeper. Sven Ulreich is too old with 34 and Johannes Schenk too young with 19 years. Maybe Marc-André ter Stegen 30j. and a current national player is an option. In Barcelona he is not always the number 1 and maybe he would like to go back to Germany. His contract runs until 2025, so he cost 30-50 million Dollar?

Exaggerating the importance of Lewandowski in the Bayern Munich squad because Bayern Munich did not quickly find a replacement who could really replace the position left by Lewandowski very well. If Bayern Munich could be quick then we wouldn't hear of this kind of thing. If Sadio Mane manages to perform well and contributes even more than Lewandowski, then I will be very sure that a narrative will sound that Bayern Munich's decision to sell Lewandowski and replace him with a new player is the right decision.

[hyudien]

Union Berlin's fall was really quicker than I expected. I mean a complete failure by them actually. Because they didn't just lose the lead. They started a long running bad streak in their league matches. I don't know what the reason was for it. Maybe there was some kind of motivation deficiency there. Especially the embarrasing results against Freiburg and Leverkusen must have dropped their morale even more. But they are still lucky that there has been a long break to take a deep breath.

I'm aware that they are normally an average team. But this good start to the season first must have some meaning for them. They can do better than this now. They have the strength to fight for top 4 and a Champions League ticket as a result. They are in the Europa League on one hand of course. But they might be likely to be eliminated by Ajax. If they do then they would completely focus on the Bundesliga.

That's why most teams that were good at the start of the season turned bad mid-season or at the end of the season. Their mentality speaks for itself here, as well as their experience in defending a position that many other teams are after will definitely put a lot of pressure on them. Now the fact is that they are going down quickly, because I myself hope they maintain their slick performance at least until the first half of the season. but what happened before the half of the season ended they had fallen first.

[hahay]

It looks like Florian Flick is only on loan for half a season and next season Florian Flick will return to FC Schalke 04, I think it's a short time. Even though Florian Flick got more minutes at Nuremberg, I think that still doesn't fully guarantee Florian Flick to get a place in the main squad at Schalke when he returns from loan. But yes, hopefully Florian Flick can develop better there, considering Schalke's position is also not very good at the moment.
It is possible that next season Florian Flick will return to Schalke but in the end Florian Flick will play again in the 2. Bundesliga, because it seems difficult for Schalke to get out of the relegation zone.

Schalke is still not strong enough to compete in the Bundesliga right now, even though Schalke can return to playing in the Bundesliga quickly but it seems like Schalke still needs a better overhaul at least to be able to stay in the Bundesliga longer.
Maybe if I consider the current points gap, it looks like Schalke has a five point gap with Hertha Berlin and Stuttgart. But still, when the situation and condition of the team are not in their best shape, it will be difficult for Schalke to catch up with them but with this long break, hopefully Schalke can get up again.

I did not know that he is only on loan for half a year. I do not know if that makes sense. But maybe there is an option for him to stay in Nürnberg afterwards. Either he stays on loan or Nürnberg will buy him.

I do not have much hope for Schalke. I do not know if they have enough money to be able to buy new players. They have to improve, otherwise they will play in the 2nd Bundesliga again.

The data I got about Florian Flick will be on loan to Nuremberg that starts on 1 Jan 2023 and will end on 30 June 2023, that means Florian Flick will play at Nuremberg for at least only half a season in this remaining season. After all, a loan like that can still be done, because I don't think there is a rule about a loan that can only be done for one full season and or several seasons.
There's nothing strange about going on a half-season loan because at the time those transfers were made, in fact they coincided with the transfer window opening so it still made sense.

For European teams it seems money is not a big problem to bring in new players, because the more important factor is about the players themselves. Are they willing to play at Schalke who are only trying to get out of the relegation zone and or, at least Schalke will still get new players but not star players.
Because star players will only be willing to play in a team for competition at the top of the standings and not to compete in the relegation zone, so naturally even though Schalke gets new players it still doesn't guarantee that Schalke can recover quickly.

it's not a good year for Manuel Neuer . first he fails with germany at the world championship and now he's injured until the end of the season .
but what happened ? Manuel Neuer broke his thigh while skiing on holiday and will be out for a few months.
according to the media, the season is already over for Manuel Neuer.
Sadio Mané, Lucas Hernandez and now Neuer. these are already heavy losses.

Just have readed it in the news , and its sad to hear that he now also be missing for the whole season .
Maybe its possible that he decide after that injury to end his Career !
The most and big loss for Bayern Munich i guess is Lucas Hernandez but the other players also a loss.

FC Bayern search maybe now an new goalkeeper. Sven Ulreich is too old with 34 and Johannes Schenk too young with 19 years. Maybe Marc-André ter Stegen 30j. and a current national player is an option. In Barcelona he is not always the number 1 and maybe he would like to go back to Germany. His contract runs until 2025, so he cost 30-50 million Dollar?

For this season i guess they will be try it with Sven Ulreich maybe , but yeah you are right that they now will looking for a Goalkeeper.
Think that they dont will get Marc Andre ter Stegen so fast .

[YuginKadoya]

It is possible that this could happen, depending on the offer made to Bayern when something fits the why not clause.
Apart from the club, they are clearly business people and the sale of their players is not cheap, just like when Lewandowski was sold and the money was bought for Mane, where Bayern still made a profit, it was not impossible for Musiala either.
Even though the price set by Bayern this time will certainly be a little troublesome for Musiala's interested clubs.

It could surely happen, but surely enough Bayern Munich isn't really wanting to trade Robert Lewandowski back then they want a higher payment for him but Lewandowski wants to be traded and doesn't want to be with Bayern Munich anymore, he really wants to go to Barcelona so badly so the Bayern Munich eventually decided to give Barcelona a much suitable fair trade for Lewandowski because Lewandowski doesn't want to stay anymore, so if Jamal Musiala like Lewandowski doesn't want to stay on Bayern Munich anymore it is highly unlikely that Bayern will trade Musiala for sure, but it will also depend on the players aswell,

Union Berlin's fall was really quicker than I expected. I mean a complete failure by them actually. Because they didn't just lose the lead. They started a long running bad streak in their league matches. I don't know what the reason was for it. Maybe there was some kind of motivation deficiency there.

They have the strength to fight for top 4 and a Champions League ticket as a result. They are in the Europa League on one hand of course. But they might be likely to be eliminated by Ajax. If they do then they would completely focus on the Bundesliga.

For me, there is no meaning to their good start, and 1 word to explain all of it was really lucky, they really got lucky at the beginning of the season, and when Bohucm Exposes them that is the start of their fall, Bochum got a win 2 - 1, while the next 1 was Leverkusen that got a 5 - 1 win over Union Berlin, and the start for Leverkusen to get back again, lastly, Freiburg got a better game than Union Berlin with 4 - 1 win that is why on Jan 21 Union Berlin will need to win over Hoffenheim, and pretty much this is a long break for the Bundesliga so there are still a lot of time to practice and get back in shape,

[safari88]

Maybe Union Berlin will fall even further away, but would that really bother them? I do not think so. They have had a very good start to the season. It was unrealistic to think that they would have a chance at the championship anywhere. Bayern Munich started the season moderately, but in the end it is easily back at the top of the league. RB Leipzig - Bayern Munich is still a game that matters, if RB wins, it can narrow the gap to Bayern Munich and continue to participate. Although I think that RB Leipzig has too little quality in terms of content to really have a serious chance. I also never read that very strong players go to RB Leipzig. That is different at Bayern Munich of course.

[Velvet78]

The scenario is like always the same in the recent years. Bayern Munich take the lead and win an easy championship. Dortmund follow them right behind and Leipzig - Freiburg - Leverkusen trio share the positions right below. This season is a little more different of course. Some teams are not having a good season.

Leverkusen started the season really horrible. They are still far away from the top positions now. Xabi Alonso's arrival has started to change something by the recent weeks though. They won their last three games. But their road is really full of obstacles until reaching top 4. I have big doubts about their making it there.

Yes it is like that, but now there are several clubs ready to compete for the top 4. It's a bit more difficult for Borussia Dortmund as they have to fight their way back to 2nd place in the standings like they did in the previous season. They are eager to push their way up to the top 4 by returning to their declining performance lately. RB Leipzig and Freiburg will remain the favorites to be in the Champions League zone, but they must not forget Frankfurt which is under pressure, as well as Union Berlin which still has many opportunities to provide very tough competition. As for Leverkusen, they have to maximize themselves because now they are far below.

I think at this point thirty million dollars is a lot for him as he has aged quite a bit. Although I think Manuel Neuer has left his golden days in the past. But I agree that injury has been a significant setback to his career at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Sven Ulreich is not a suitable replacement for Neuer since he is not that good. I personally think that Bayern Munich should buy other players other than Ter Stegen. I think they should offer younger players.

for the top position and the title there is nothing new about this but for the second position I expect something different for now, especially with their current condition it is quite clear that this could be different especially with Dortmund's condition which is even though good but still rivaled by Freiburg or Leipzig.
But I really hope for Freiburg because this club's performance always makes me happy.

Sadio Mané, Lucas Hernandez and now Neuer. these are already heavy losses.

This is news that is really very difficult for Bayern to accept.
Now they inevitably have to look for a new goalkeeper, I think especially in this case there is Ultreich but he is old enough for now and I don't think it's too bad to look for other alternatives, especially with Neuer's absence, of course this will hinder a bit, although they are also still very good on defense.

Manuel Neuer was injured quite badly due to pain and broke his leg in last night's World Cup match. It is likely that Manuel Neuer will retire because he is too old and maybe Bayern Munich will finish his contract without extending it again. Hopefully, Manuel Neuer will recover soon.

With the quality that ter stegen had i think 30 mil is too low.

Even if ter stegen want to back to germany i doubt that barcelona would let him go despite there is a competition , stegen needed to get through a long journey at the rest of the barcelona season. Morocco goalkeeper yassin bounou who currently at the world cup and doing excellent job might steal the bayern attention , would be a perfect replacement.

He was getting injured when playing ski after germany was losing. Neuer may not able to perform with bayern until the end of season. He was getting fracture. it needs a very long time to recover his condition. There's no guarantee he will able to perform the same like before he was getting his bone had broken like that and so that injured will be greatly affecting the performance from neuer. It seems like that bayern needs to find a good replacement for him.

It's true, as you said, the scenario in the Bundesliga really hasn't changed at all, until now there hasn't been a single club that can surprise and take over Bayern Munich's place at the top of the standings. Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga championship and lifted the Bundesliga trophy for ten seasons. successively, the trophies that have been collected by Bayern Munich are 32 trophies, I really hope that other teams are able to make changes and can get rid of Bayern Munich from the hunt for the Bundesliga title, like AC Milan got rid of Juventus.

It's repeating again now but unlike last year there are some teams like union berlin which has been perforing so impressive since the early season but it's struggling with its performance right now. I think that bayern has a very big chance to win the title again but as some key players from bayern already injured and im not sure bayern will be winning the rest of matches until the end of season easily like last year. Neuer will be absent until the end of season due to the his injury.
He will not able to defend bayern.

Leverkusen started the season really horrible. They are still far away from the top positions now. Xabi Alonso's arrival has started to change something by the recent weeks though. They won their last three games. But their road is really full of obstacles until reaching top 4. I have big doubts about their making it there.

The arrival of xabi gave a bit different result for leverkusen as it can perform even better compared when xabi has not yet become a coach for leverkusen. I only hope leverkusen will able to perform so well in the next matches of bundesliga.

They won their last three games. But their road is really full of obstacles until reaching top 4. I have big doubts about their making it there.

Xabi Alonso has starting his debut with once win from 4 matches in Bundesliga even i thought probably he will going to sacked soon because Leverkusen has unable to performing well and everything was change since last month that on November Leverkusen can able to gets 3 wins with unbeatable status on that month i think this is indicated Leverkusen under him was able to bounce back

But Xabi Alonso currently focus to avoid relegation zone so he aren't thinking european zone for now and try to be realistic with the current position of Leverkusen and indeed difference points with Dortmund which in the 6th positions on standings league still possible to chased but considering other teams such as Leipzig, Union Berlin and Frankfurt who able to performing well makes Leverkusen will be hard to achieve top 4
