Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Jody.Drummer]

RB Leipzig destroyed Schalke in last night's match with a score of 1-6. Even though this was RB Leipzig's away game, the host Schalke seemed to be performing so badly in this match. Schalke's defense looked so bad that the ball flow from RB Leipzig players easily entered the white box area. I just realized that looking at the bundesliga standings, it turns out that Schalke is at the bottom and is in the relegation zone this season with only 9 points. Seeing Schalke, who always looked stunning several seasons ago, did not expect their fate this season to be far from good.

Actually I wasn't surprised by Schalke's defeat in this match, because it is indeed a club that has performed poorly throughout the Bundesliga this season. Meanwhile, the opponent they are facing is a club that can be said to be a candidate to become a champion even though its status is still below Bayern Munich which is indeed the ruler in this Bundesliga.
Before this match started, RB Leipzih was also the favorite to win, and this was strengthened by the match statistics, which were very much dominated by them. 2 quick goals in the first 15 minutes made Schalke lose confidence, and that made it easier for them to lose a goal in the next minute.

The situation in Schalke is not getting any better. They still have big deficits in defence. They absolutely have to work on that. So far, they have not strengthened their defence. They should definitely buy another defender. The next games will not be any easier. Except for the next game against Köln they have to play many games against teams that belong in the top 5.

Schalke is the team with the worst defense. they conceded 41 times in 17 matches. this season is really difficult for them to compete with teams in the Bundesliga.
it looks like Schalke has locked a place for relegation next season. the next fight will not be easy either. Koln managed to hold off to a draw with Munich. and it could be bad for Schalke if Koln plays well again.

In total Schalke got 9 goals yesterday and at Saturday. But even before that the defence was disastrous. As I wrote before one problem is the long winter break. Some clubs have coped with that better than others. But the biggest problem is that they have only bought one new central defender so far. And he has not played yet. It seems as if the people in charge are already planning for Bundesliga 2.

when discussing their business strategy, there is nothing wrong with what is done by the dortmund management, because basically all the teams are trying hard to make money in any way

So far, the players who have been sold by Dortmund to other teams have succeeded in becoming great players, so the Dortmund players will definitely continue to receive supervision from rich teams out there. I admit that the business run by Dortmund is very smart

At least Dortmund made a contribution to the world of football by creating great players with great potential. Dortmund had not previously realized that it always created great players, but over time, many great clubs often bought young players in Dortmund, so that many people thought that Dortmundbbusiness was selling world class players.

Yes, without a doubt we cannot forget that Lewa came from there, Haaland who have been the most talked about players, of course Haaland is one of the youngest players, with a very peculiar style, however we know very well that the Dortmund is a team that has a high level of football, I particularly like how they play, if they were more willing to play to win titles or something like that, I think they could achieve it, however, as I have said before and on each occasion +on I focus on it, they have a business model that they like and that gives them good earnings and profitability, but if they focused on winning at least the Bundesliga it would be another level.

The outplay tonight between schalke 04 and Leipzig is going as expected by many, seeing Leipzig thrashing schalke is not a surprise to me because Leipzig is in their good form so the really deserve to win this match outrightly, is good to note that leipzig have a good history against schalke and also this home team being schalke is not doing well in their games, I say a big congratulation to leipzig for their well deserved victory in advance.

Yep, this is the match that everyone predicts regardless of what this is an easy bet.
I got 2 advantages in the bet this time because I bet on Leipzig and both teams can score goals even though for this bet I'm a little doubtful but Schalke still gives me an advantage there.
The score was quite a hit and now Leipzig are back in their shoes after a not-so-good start to the season.

We cannot deny that Leipzig is one of the teams that sounds the most surprising in the Budesliga, this is something that I like, Bayern is one of the teams that is also surprising me, because at the football level the one that They are showing football as if they were very tired, it is like the impression they give me, I may be making a mistake or it is that they are doing or applying a strategy that makes the team look like this, but I think Bayern lacks that more explosiveness that they had with Lewa, this is something that is happening and that I hope they manage to engage, because Union Berlin is stepping on them.

Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry under fire for Paris trip

Yesterday, Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann talked about Serge Gnabry’s recent trip to France for the Paris Fashion Week. The German coach had said it was not that big of a deal, but he was sure to point out that there would be consequences if it affected the team’s performance. It was clear that the judgement would depend on Gnabry’s match.

Today the judgement is out. After a lackluster performance by the German attacker, Bayern sporting director Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidzic criticized Gnabry’s trip, as reported by Sport1’s Kerry Hau (via iMiaSanMia):

Every big team experience such games in which they lose points despite dominating it with their game.

It was the same scenario for Bayern Munich against Koln. Koln were able to go for only two goal attempts but still one of them ended up with a goal. They resisted incredibly well despite Bayern Munich's trying everything they could. The captain Kimmich still became his team's savior in the 90th minute but Koln still got what they wanted. This kind of point losses are nice to see for Bayern Munich in my opinion because these are keeping the championship race alive for teams like Leipzig for example.

Indeed, if the league is controlled by one team and is far away from other teams it is very annoying and there is no competitive friction that makes the league interesting to watch, the Bayern Munich match against Koln is of course everyone's prediction that the match should be won by Bayern in this match. , especially those who have bet on Bayern in the match, of course they are shocked by the results of the match.
Regardless of whether this is a scenario or not, I think it is appropriate for Koln to play in a draw in that match, on the other hand Leipzig scored a 6-1 goal against Schalke and were in second place in the standings before Eintracht Frankfurt vs Freiburg and Union Berlin vs Bremen which are in 3-5 standings with 30 points.

The odds payout for Borussia Monchengladbach to win the match in full time against Augsburg is @2.31, this odds payout does looks pretty attractive for Borussia Monchengladbach as Augsburg had gone without a win in the Bundesliga league for a long period of time. Even though Augsburg will be playing against Borussia Monchengladbach at their home stadium but I think it will be tough for Augsburg to stop Borussia Monchengladbach from winning today.

[Renampun]

Here are the results for my picks on today's game

FC Schalke 04 VS RB Leipzig total over 2.5 GOAL 1 - 6 - WIN

Hertha BSC VS VfL Wolfsburg GOAL 0 - 5 - WIN

FC Bayern Munich VS 1. FC Koln total over 2.5 GOAL 1 - 1 - LOST

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim VS VfB Stuttgart GOAL 2 - 2  - LOST

I also lost for the Bayern vs Koln match! it was surprising because Bayern was held to a draw by Koln, even Koln was able to score a quick goal in 4' minutes. with Neuer injured, Bayern's goal felt very easy to concede, Nagelsmann seems very trivial with Koln. with this draw and also the big win from Leipzig, currently the point difference between Leipzig and Bayern is only 4 points.


today many exciting matches will happen, and my choice for the bet is Dortmund - Leverkusen - Union berlin - Frankfurt. for the Monchengladbach vs Augsburg match, I think I skipped it because the performance of the two teams was still unstable and difficult to predict.

[wmaurik]

this was an unexpected result, I didn't expect that Bayern would have a hard time playing at home and luckily Kimmich managed to score a late goal to prevent his team from losing in a humiliating defeat at home.
regardless of the competition in the standings but I highlight Bayern's performance in the last 2 matches, they really have a lot of trouble scoring goals despite playing very attacking, this is similar to what they experienced at the start of the season, the problem Bayern is experiencing is on their front lines .

despite the draw, Bayern are currently still the leader of the standings while 4 points ahead of Leipzig who are in second place.

The draw of Bayern Munich's last two matches certainly benefits RB Leipzig because the point gap with Bayern Munich is very close, so it also provides an opportunity for other teams to continue to follow Bayern Munich's points, especially for RB Leipzig who are in second place in the standings while . And I hope that the competition in the Bundesliga this time can be very competitive because Bayern Munich will also try to do better in the next match in order to maintain their top position in the standings.

Schalke is the team with the worst defense. they conceded 41 times in 17 matches. this season is really difficult for them to compete with teams in the Bundesliga.
it looks like Schalke has locked a place for relegation next season. the next fight will not be easy either. Koln managed to hold off to a draw with Munich. and it could be bad for Schalke if Koln plays well again.

Dont forget that they played against Leipzig and they was on fire yesterday so thats why they scored 6 Goals.
Schalke has played a way better against Dortmund last time and was just unlucky to get the draw , but yeah the defense is not the best.

I called it about Bayern Munich against Cologne and even my bet was not right i was happy to read that they only got a draw out of this game.
Now only Frankfurt has to win today against Freiburg and i guess that will be not an easy match , but i believe in Frankfurt.
Wolfsburg looks like got new energy and won also again , damn .

Down for Freiburg to win at home today, though I don't see too much goals resulting from this game, I know for the fact that, Freiburg are very discipline and good at home games no matter the opponents.
They did lost woefully to Wolfsburg after the long Bundesliga break, that would have been so much heart breaker for the fans to watch.

Borrussia Dortmund struggling to get the win from the other game which brought about seven goals in the games, Sebastian Haller back to the squad fully after recovering from cancer.

I can clearly see the effects of the two-month layoff. It's not because the opposition is playing well that they are losing or drawing games. The indecisiveness and lack of concentration they exhibit are making things difficult for them. When they need to shoot, they pass too much. The team needs to improve its defense, creativity, and finishing skills. The goalkeeper is not a concern for me. Without scoring, they can't win and even Neuer couldn't make the difference. In fact, Kimmich's equalizer saves a point.

Indeed, it was the two quick goals that made Schalke's hopes disappear in this match and after that they were even more chaotic in defense which made the RB Leipzig players so free to control the game. Maybe from now on there is no hope for Schalke to get away from the relegation zone, even if they want to get away from this terrible zone at least they have to get 3 wins to guarantee a safer place in the standings, but considering that Schalke's next opponent is FC Cologne, I think they will lose again in that match later.

Borussia Dortmund will have a tough game. Mainz are playing very well, they haven't lost any of their last five games, although they've only won one. But I think Dortmund can win after scoring so many goals in other games, their attack is all right!

[CryptoBuds]

Bayern Munich 1-1 Koln

After sharing the points against Leipzig, the Bayern Munich team also failed to win against Koln. And perhaps this is their third draw in a row. Bayern Munich team also drew against Salzburg in a friendly match. But the draw against Koln was unexpected. Koln was not a strong team. And still in their position at tenth place in the points table. Many gamblers bet on Bayern Munich to win this match and they lost money.
However, Bayern Munich is now only 4 points ahead of Leipzig after the loss of Wentz in this match and if Frankfurt, Union Berlin, and Freiburg can win their next matches, they will be only 3 points behind Bayern Munich. If Munich cannot return to form, it will be difficult for them to win the title.

I think that even when we were not watching the match and we could easily predict the result of the match. Schalke was the worst team in bundesliga. It's not even equal with leipzig which is on the same level as bayern. Schalke has been destroyed so easily by leipzig. that being said that schalke will be in the relegation zone until the end of the competition. The performance of the team can change instantly due to various reasons. that's what happening with schalke. Schalke itself is not as good as dortmund in the football business.

[minime0105]

One of the match that is been played today in German Bundesliga that got my attention is Freiburg vs Eintacht Frankfurt, Freiburg are playing above all expectations this season. They are 4th with five points behind the league leader, Bayern Munich. Still, Freiburg started after the break with a terrible 6-0 loss on the match against Wolfsburg. The guests were hopeless as the home side converted almost every goal-scoring opportunity. Freiburg are playing high scoring matches lately. They went over 2.5 goals in seven of the last eight games, including friendlies.  Eintracht Frankfurt are also playing well this season. Oliver Glasner's team are with also five points behind the league leader. They started after a break with a 3-0 win at home against Schalke. Eintracht Frankfurt had another very good match, so they secured another victory.  Eintracht Frankfurt scored 20 goals in the last eight games, including friendlies. Seven of those eight matches went over 2.5 goals. Four of the last five meeting between Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt went over 2.5 goals. So in this game we should expect more goals, any side can win.

[Distraction]

The odds for the Freiburg - Frankfurt match is like 2.48 given to the home team while it is 2.90 for Frankfurt.

The gap is not too big despite Freiburg's being the favourite side to win. This can be a quite interesting and very challenging match at the same time. Freiburg couldn't win their last two meets in this stadium in the Bundesliga. However both teams are doing a pretty great job now. Freiburg have lost only once in home matches while it is the same for Frankfurt in away matches. Freiburg concede quite few goals in those matches though. Even though Frankfurt seem quite productive in away ones they might have bigger problems in this.

But after seeing Freiburg's embarrassing loss against Wolfsburg by 6-0 I can't trust them fully. I just want to give both teams to score a chance @1.69.

[fzkto]

Mainz and Dortmund managed to score two quick goals and now the score is 1-1. Interestingly, Dortmund are still completely dominant, but can they score at least one more goal to get three points in this game? Mainz defend well and do not allow Borussia to make good attacks. I think Bayern - Koln could have a repeat here.

[beerlover]

Every big team experience such games in which they lose points despite dominating it with their game.

It was the same scenario for Bayern Munich against Koln. Koln were able to go for only two goal attempts but still one of them ended up with a goal.

I do understand that it could become a bit boring when one team rules over everyone, but that team managed to do something that was good and sustainable and allowed them to be as good as possible in bundesliga.

It requires some finance to keep a club running at a high level, and the more money they got the more they invested into long term future of the club instead of just getting results right away, which resulted with them having financial freedom to build a team that can be sustainable, which they achieved 10+ years ago and ever since those days they managed to be the only team at the top. This isn't some hidden secret, other teams are welcome to try it as well.

Mainz and Dortmund managed to score two quick goals and now the score is 1-1. Interestingly, Dortmund are still completely dominant, but can they score at least one more goal to get three points in this game? Mainz defend well and do not allow Borussia to make good attacks. I think Bayern - Koln could have a repeat here.

Yes, it was a quick goal scored by Mainz and Dortmund and I'm sure in the second half there will be more goals too. Not only that, I personally am still quite confident for Dortmund, which looks like it will still get full points in this match.
Because it is clear, Dortmund's position in the Bundesliga standings is still not good, so victory is the result they must get. But yes, I also realize that Mainz has the ability to be able to draw or even beat Dortmund, because this is Mainz's home game.

[herurist]

Borussia Dortmund will have a tough game. Mainz are playing very well, they haven't lost any of their last five games, although they've only won one. But I think Dortmund can win after scoring so many goals in other games, their attack is all right!

The first half ended at 1-1 now.
I was surprised by the 2 quick goals they scored at the start of the match because indeed Lee Jae Sung's goal in minute 2 was actually answered by Julian Ryerson 2 minutes later which made this interesting in my opinion. But after that there have only been a few chances created but so far so good for Dortmund regardless they can still win with their current dominance.

[GiftedMAN]

Mainz and Dortmund managed to score two quick goals and now the score is 1-1. Interestingly, Dortmund are still completely dominant, but can they score at least one more goal to get three points in this game? Mainz defend well and does not allow Borussia to make good attacks. I think Bayern - Koln could have a repeat here.

True, two early goals were scored by Mainz and Dortmund making the game more interesting to watch because the two teams were eager to win even though Dortmund has been the team dominating the game right from the beginning of the game till the end of the first half. But with the way the Mainz team is being careful in their defense, we may see the two teams share points just the way Bayern Munich was held by Koln.
