Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Bobrox]

No chance union berlin to win the title once bayern already taken the first place and that's gonna be so difficult for bayern to be replaced by union. Some clubs like dortmund and frankfurt were also doing so well during the last match before the world cup. Union berlin got some loses before the world cup and that will make union berlin will not even able to compete again for the title. The possible thing for now berlin to be on the top 4 and qualified for the champion league. This will increase the potential from the club to show the performance in UCL.
I think that bayern will always be dominating the competition for now. Bayern is waking up again and none can prevent bayern to get the title.

Seems have close with Union Berlin win the Bundesliga tittle in this season behind 7 points left from Bayern Munich although have many matches left, having consistency performance is most important if want to be champion but Union Berlin can't in the winning track after several games loss points.

Still not close yet with Union Berlin opportunity can finish on top fourth standing position, having three points left from SC Freiburg at second position I sure easy back to top standing if can consistency. Union Berlin not only focus at domestic league but also still have Europe League play off round match against Ajax Amsterdam.

Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel came to Bayern Munich from Schalke in 2020. As his performance was not good after one year he was loaned to AS Monaco until June 2023. At AS Monaco he is a regular player, although his performances are not constant. Since Manuel Neuer will not be able to play until the summer, Nübel would be an option. For that he would have to be bought out of his current contract.
Bayern Munich has Sven Ulreich as another option. He has made a name for himself as a number 2 in the past and is probably the better option.

It is interesting whether Bayern Munich will really take back Alexander Nübel or will only maximize or utilize other goalkeepers in the current Bayern Munich squad. Because Bayern Munich also currently has two goalkeepers but with very different ages such as Sven Ulreich 34 years old and Johannes Schenk 19 years old, and it seems that Johannes Schenk came from the Bayern Munich academy.
Therefore, I think maybe this will be a big chance for Bayern Munich to maximize or make full use of young players, at least it will be a good long-term program.

Anyway, as long as Bayern Munich still has strong defenders or defense, then maybe just playing Sven Ulreich and or Johannes Schenk will be enough. Because Manuel Neuer himself is also not too perfect to defend his goal so as not to concede.
Thus, I assume that Bayern Munich will not need to sign a new goalkeeper and also will not need to bring back Alexander Nübel before his loan ends. But if the reason is for the Champions League, then of course Bayern Munich still needs an experienced goalkeeper.

Dortmund might have a really big difficulty in retaining the second spot in the standings this season. I don't even talk about their leadership possibility because there is no way either Dortmund or the rest of the teams can catch up with Bayern Munich that easy. Dortmund have really tough opponents in top 4. Their form so far hasn't been impressive honestly.

They lost like the half of their games in the league so far. They have been competing in the Champions League as well on one hand maybe. But they should still be able to keep two tournaments balanced to have a decent season.

Dortmund's previous performance did look less impressive, but there is still a possibility for Dortmund to make their appearance or performance even more impressive in the second half of this season or in the remainder of this season after the completion of the Qatar world cup. Because every team including Dortmund can target the best players in the transfer market in the near future and can evaluate the mistakes of their previous strategy to fix them for the better before the season ends.

They lost like the half of their games in the league so far. They have been competing in the Champions League as well on one hand maybe. But they should still be able to keep two tournaments balanced to have a decent season.

As for the Champions League, I'm a little less sure of Dortmund because there have much tougher opponents than in the Bundesliga this season. So the possibility of surviving and continuing to compete in the Champions League is very small, although it is still too early to conclude now as you said above on Dortmund's performance.

There are even more in the family. Hakan is the cousin from Kerim and he is playing in Inter Milan, as you said. Then there is another cousin Muhammed but he is not with any club. But Kerim indeed has a brother: Turan. He plays in the fourth league.
Both brothers have been coaching in the youth teams at Hoffenheim since 2017. But neither has made the breakthrough yet.

It is common for people who are good at football to have some family that wants to try out as well and get a better chance to be scouted, doesn't mean they will go further though. It just means that you ask people to look at your brother or your cousin and because you are Hakan Calhanoglu that means people will listen to you, if I told people to look at them nobody would have cared.

There are plenty of people like that in our nation as well, father/son, or brothers, if one of them gets any attention and becomes big, then they try their best to get the others. Hell look at NBA and Giannis, dude managed to bring his brothers to the league as well.

Dortmund has also had some bad luck in recent months. They thought they had found a reasonable replacement for Haaland in the form of Haaler. But then he unexpectedly got a bad diagnosis about his health. They can't help that. The width in Germany has also improved slightly in recent years. Nothing is lost for Dormund yet. Just look at RB Leipzig, in the beginning they were almost in the relegation place and now they are just back in the top 3. Immediately a nice showdown with Bayern Munich the first game after the winter break.

Dortmund's productivity is still not quite enough to me. They are too far behind Bayern Munich in terms of the number of goals they have scored so far. Let's say we don't compare any team to Bayern Munich about that. But even then, for example Leipzig are better than Dortmund about that anyway. Haaland's departure has really affected the team in a bad way. But Dortmund don't seem to be caring about that much now. Because their priority is to look for how much profit they can make in their transfers.

This makes me disappointed about them as well. Because I miss the times Dortmund were caring about the Bundesliga title very much. Since they started to change their vision Bayern Munich have been so comfortable about becoming champions every season.

They still rely on old players like Marco Reus, Matt Hummels who have limitations with their bodies especially Marco Reus. Their young players are not matured enough to replace these old players. In general Dortmund have less world class players than Bayern Munich and it is reality to say that Dortmund is less competitive than Bayern Munich.

Haaland's departure has really affected the team in a bad way. But Dortmund don't seem to be caring about that much now. Because their priority is to look for how much profit they can make in their transfers.

Every club loses Haaland should bear a big decrease in attacking. Having Haaland does not bring titles to Dortmund but at least they will have lot of goals from Haaland. Now they have Moukoko who was called for Germany squad in World Cup 2022. He is a future but still too young and he is more like Marco Reus, not too similar to Haaland.

Dortmund are always lucky with their recruitment every summer,they have sold Haaland,but some other person that will play exactly like Haaland or that will get the required goals like he did will emerged.
When Lewandowski was very hot and scoring goals every match,it was Durtmund he emanated from,they sold him and Aubameyang emerged,After Aubameyang excelled,he was sold,and Dembele of Barca now emerged.If you look at their transfer exit history,you will see that they sell their best players every season because of money.I just see them as a team that have good scouting team.

I don't expect anything less for Dortmund because I don't understand how a club like Dortmund who have a good history have suddenly become too profit oriented and prioritize profit making over improving the quality of squad and overall performance of the team. How do they expect to compete team like Bayern Munich who have a better squad and are hungry for domestic and international trophies. So it’s not bad luck, Dortmund made their own luck when they sold their best players to other clubs.

Dortmund is one of the undisputed heavyweight contestants in German football. With five Bundesliga titles, the club has proficiently participated in the hunt to secure more European league titles for years now, since after backing UCL in 1997. But seeing that the club isn't doing too well lately, the management should do something about it. As reported by Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, I think the idea of bringing CR7 to join the Squad could be another means of rejuvenation.

The idea could indeed be very good, but it would be even better if the CEO of Borussia Dortmund was willing to target some young players in the transfer market later to complete their squad. Because if only one Ronaldo were brought into the Borussia Dortmund squad, I don't think they would get more help either, because Ronaldo is no longer young and has experienced a decline in his performance in recent years although he is still a very influential player when on the field

It seems to me that Ronaldo and rejuvenation are antonyms 
Maybe his arrival at the club will help solve local problems (like taking second place in the Bundesliga and going as far as possible in the Champions League), but from the point of view of prospects, this transfer does not solve anything.

[SatoPrincess]

I think Bayern Munich will have no choice but to take back Alexander Nubel as the team first choice goal keeper in the absence of Neuer who will be sidelined based on injuries. This unfortunate incident presents a good chance to try other substitute goal keepers in the team and probably a suitable replacement can emerge from the available options after all at this stage of Neuer's career it is time to replace him in the squad.

Borussia Dortmund never runs out of potential players in their squad, but unfortunately they always sell them at a meager price. There is no effort on their part to keep such a good player for long. This is indeed an advantage for them, but will they always be like that in every season? I think they need to urgently change the habits they do every season to focus more on winning more trophies.

This unfortunate incident presents a good chance to try other substitute goal keepers in the team and probably a suitable replacement can emerge from the available options after all at this stage of Neuer's career it is time to replace him in the squad.

Bayern Munich are reportedly targeting Dominic Livakovic to fill the void left by Manuel Neuer due to injury. Not only Livakovic but also Nubel is on the list of names rumored to be joining Bayern Munich. They moved quickly with a list of goalkeepers they will be looking for in the upcoming transfer window, yes it is their quick attempt to replace the vacancy in the goalkeeper position.

[terrorJR]

Maybe, this is the right time to replace Manuel Neuer's role with Bayern Munich. we all know, that Neuer is a great goalkeeper. his role with Bayern Munich is inseparable. however, as you said. Bayern Munich will still do great things with or without him. like what his predecessor, Oliver Kahn, had done when he was still a goalkeeper for Bavaria.

Obviously it's the thing to do.
At present, apart from his old injury, Neuer's age is also not young anymore because he is currently 36 years old. On the other hand their second goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is also 34 years old now and I think this is too old for their big club because even for the bundesliga maybe it doesn't really matter but of course there is the Champions League and this is old for their goalkeeper if compare with other big clubs.

Basically, the injury to Manuel Neuer is not a big problem, but if Bayern Munich really cares about his performance in the competition in the Champions League, then of course Bayern Munich needs a new, more experienced goalkeeper to replace Manuel Neuer. However, the reason I say this is not a big problem is because Bayern Munich still has solid defenders, so when their defenders are still in their best form, of course, Bayern Munich's defense will also remain safe.
It seems that the case of legendary goalkeepers becomes interesting when they get long injuries and or choose to retire, because if I consider players from other positions I think finding or getting a replacement is still relatively easy.

So, let's wait and see whether Bayern Munich will recruit a new goalkeeper or just take advantage of and/or maximize the goalkeepers who are second-tier players on the bench. So that with Manuel Neuer's injury, at least Bayern Munich can move faster to be able to have a strong replacement candidate from now on.
Even so, I personally remain confident that Bayern Munich will still get a good result for the match to come. Due to Manuel Neuer's injury, I'm sure it won't have a bad impact on the team's performance and even more so on their defense.

I feel like he could help, but what could they offer him? I mean I still think that he should be going to that Qatar club, maybe it's not a good deal to be living there for that long for someone from western civilization. The ideas of freedom is not available there, they want you to "respect their culture" and by that they mean they are forcing rules to you.

This means that we are talking about someone who would be living there with his girlfriend and kids, and that is why I highly doubt that it would be a wise decision BUT it's also 200 million a year. I feel like if he just had that a year later, maybe it would make sense but right now he could still play for Dortmund if they could offer a good deal.

Maybe these two players will retire soon and enjoy their old days in peace, and for the team that is left behind they will immediately look for replacement players when next year's transfer market opens, with old age it will affect the performance of the game when on the field which might be impact on the team they have.
