Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Zaguru12]

Leverkusen's performance at the start of this season has been very poor. But gradually, Leverkusen managed to find the problems within their team. And they were able to solve the problems. And the performance of the Leverkusen team at the moment is very strong and consistent. And so it would be foolish to think that Dortmund will easily win against Leverkusen. The match will be very competitive.

This match is what both teams need to check how far they have come. Leverkusen had a rough start to the season but since the arrival of Xabi Alonso things have been improving. Dortmund also had a mix season although they started started well towards the World Cup period they fell off. Both teams have the problem of defending, although Leverkusen looks to have solve there’s. This match will give them a test against the dortmund side that can’t stop scoring at the moment and also Dortmund will have a test of a fast attack of leverkusen against their shacky back line

Xabi Alonso is doing a great work with Leverkusen despite not being a very experienced manager. This is even his first serious management experience but he is already doing a very good work. This might be related to his experience in the Bundesliga as a footballer as well. But not all such managers are successful as a manager too of course - for example Lampard.

Maybe it is really difficult but Leverkusen can still increase their chance on finishing at a good position this season as long as they keep up a good form like this for a long time.

After a bad start at Leverkusen they now look really good. Alonso finally pulled through and made the team look really good. On paper they were always good but when they were playing they just couldnt win anything. But if they continue like this we can expect them at end of season in top4

Union Berlin returned to second place in the Bundesliga standings and I'm sure no one thought this would happen, because after Union Berlin's position in the Bundesliga continued to decline, at that time many also considered that Union Berlin had ended. But who would have thought, when the competing team in the struggle for this position weakened or got bad results, at the same time Union Berlin actually won the match.

Also, for the next match Union Berlin will play away against Hertha Berlin who are currently in the relegation zone. With these considerations, it looks like Union Berlin will get its third win in a row after a long season break.

dortmund has signed another new player today. it is the 16 year old Julien Duranville. he comes from RSC Anderlecht and costs a transfer fee of about 8.5 million euros.
his contract is initially for 3 years with an option for more years. a lot of money for a young player. but if dortmund does not get him, another big club will come soon.

Yep as usual
They always buy young seeds who will be projected to become young stars in the future, this is their hallmark and it is likely that under these conditions they will continue to try their own way by selling their star players in the next few seasons.
On the other hand, you won't be too surprised if one of their players, like Jude and Moukoko, who are in great demand by many clubs, will leave soon.

The Bundesliga has been a bit unpredictable lately I mean the final results are sometimes not as expected for example Munich, no one thought that they only drew in the last match even though they were playing at home. In the next game there is also no guarantee that they will get 3 points because the opponent is Frankfurt which is ranked 4th but I suspect both teams will score each other.

Yeah the bad start of Bayern Munich into the second half of the season was definitely surprising to many. There never is a guarantee to win 3 points in a match even if you are Bayern Munich, but i still think that they are the big favorite in the upcoming match against Frankfurt. Also i have to say, that i am pretty impressed by the performance of Vfl Wolfsburg so far. They won their first two matches and that with 11-0 goals, which is an remarkable achievement. It seems like the players have finally understood what their coach Niko Kovac is asking from them and if you are successful then the confidence in yourself is automatically growing too.

It wasn't "that" shocking because they started the first games of the season badly as well and had time to get better, they gave a big break during world cup so exactly the same thing happened again and now they are seen as getting back soon as well.

It happens, when you give a big break, it causes the team to lose momentum and they need to gain it back again. Plus they are missing Mane, who is a great player and yes they do not depend on just Mane to win games but he is a big help of course. This is why it's clear that they will not be as great as people think they will be, and that's the reason why they are not playing that awesome right now but will be back to playing well again.

Bayern Munich will surely be the biggest favourite for the league title by a far difference according to bookmakers also. This point difference doesn't mean much to them because there is still a huge quality difference among Bayern Munich and the rest of the teams in the league. It is still a big joy to watch a title race among a few teams now. I have really missed to see this after many years. It is like for the first time Bayern Munich are struggling about keeping the distance too much with the others.

I will be wondering how their performance will change when the Champions League restarts also. Their main target is to win the Champions League obviously. Let's see whether they will keep a strong balance between two tournaments.

[Raflesia]

Union Berlin has a good chance to continue to be close to Bayern Munich, currently Hertha Berlin is just a team in the relegation zone. Because of that, there is no reason for Union Berlin to lose to Hertha Berlin.

What concerns me at the moment is Bayern Munich, do you think they (Bayern Munich) will get the same results as before too? Hmmm, I don't think so, even though they will be playing against Eintracht Frankfurt, but I think that Bayern Munich will get full points (3 points) in that game later.

The first 2 matches after a long break were a bit difficult to predict because there were indeed a number of surprises that did occur, such as when Bayern always drew or indeed the Freiburg surprise which was slaughtered by Wolfsburg with a striking score.
But I think things like that won't take long because for sure some big teams and dark horses will return to their usual form, regardless of anything that will happen but maybe in these 2 matches they need further adjustments.

Finally, Union Berlin reached back to 2nd standing position in Bundesliga after losing their opportunity exist on 1st standing but current standing behind 3 points left from Bayern Munich. Up coming match interested between Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt and get advantage for Union Berlin if Bayern Munich loss points.

Have benefit with Union Berlin back to the top standing awhile on up coming next match win from Hertha Berlin and another match Bayern Munich loss points from Eintracht Frankfurt. Its seems Bundesliga have been excited due fewest points left with top fourth standing, have position standing change every week depend with top fourth team standing result.

This long break is surely having positive impact on Union Berlin because before break they were on verge of poor form and having downtrend but now after break they are back in their best with having two wins out of two matches and with these wins they are back into their second spot which is positive change for them now they are going to face Hertha Berlin which is in relegation zone hopefully they will be taken good advantage of this performance and having full three points which will help them for having good challenging fight for staying here at this spot for some more time even if they are able to keep this momentum they can stay here for long time because Bayern Munich is also on poor run and have two draws with now they are going to face Frankfurt which is one of the toughest side in this season with their aggressive approach and way of the play.

[doomloop]

Bayern vs Frankfurt is an interesting match after Leipzig because so far Bayern's Performance is in the spotlight after getting draw in a row. That possible they make it again because still didn't any improvement on the front. The last goal in minute 90 was considered lucky when after they face Koln. So, even if the odds are small (1.33), the bettor still thing to bet on a draw (6.0) or bet on Frankfurt because the odds are very interesting 7.40 on book

Frankfurt is currently in 4th place in the standings, of course they also want a win against Bayern, but it's not that easy to beat Bayern at home, especially since the last 2 matches Bayern have always drawn with the opposing team, especially their opponents from the top flight below them. i bet on bayern on this match because i think enough for the last 2 bad games

Frankfurt is currently at the fourth spot with having good run of form, but sadly Bayern Munich is having no start of the new year as they were needed because this is crucial time for the all teams if they want to have better results they have to perform better, but things are looking not favourable for the defending champions and leaders of current season.

But, Frankfurt here can steal the show and if they are able to do this then surely many teams will be taken good advantage of slip of points from Bayern Munich because gape could be cut and things will be more interesting which will have entertaining end of this season for the Bundesliga after many years while Bayern Munich is dominating force in last one decade.

Yeah, Bayern is experiencing decreased performance since this new year. They could only make draw match results in sequences even though their opponents were not big clubs. The next match will be against Frankfurt which is not an easy opponent. If Bayern can give back the performance like the last year and increase their solidity, I am sure that Bayern will win the match because they have more capabilities in every lineup, have more experience, and also motivation. But again, if Nagelsmann cannot bring their squad to play and perform more than usual, the result may be drawn, because Frankfurt also has a high motivation to win. This will be an interesting match to watch between Bayern and Frankfurt.

This season Bundesliga have been so competitive that points of some teams are close to that of Bayern Munich, but it doesn't change anything for Bayern Munich.  Bayern Munich will do everything to revive their performance to still continue to lead the league. It will be difficult for Bayern Munich to let another team in the Bundesliga to take over the lead of the league,  their struggling in performance is not something that will remain the same, it will definitely become better.

This is inseparable from Bayern's several games which have decreased slightly because seeing from this season they even got far more draws than the previous season even though from the ratio of losses they only got 1 time but still they lost a lot of points in the draws they got. It's a good thing because other teams are catching up now and seeing the competition get a little more lively.

[TopT3ns]

I think it's an ordinary win for Borussia Dortmund because Mainz itself is one of the teams that has been underperforming this season. I would say so if they are able to keep winning every game they play. They have just won 2 times from the defeat in the previous week. I don't mean to undervalue this victory, but I want to see them more than what they got in this game.

Mainz is a club that is not so strong that Borussia Dortmund managed to get a win in this match, even though only getting two goals was enough for Borussia Dortmund to enter the top five of the standings. Julian Ryerson and Giovanni Reyna gave their best contribution which finally brought Dortmund to victory.

[posi]

It was a surprise for everyone that Bayern Munchen lost that game a couple of days ago but on the other side we all made money thanks to your predictions at that day I got over 2.5 goals for almost all the games of that day except Bayern,the only one I lost and every other game came up as over 2.5 goals which was a great day for the bettors and the odds were not low at all ranging from 1.72 to 1.88 in all those games.
Leipzig despite playing great football was winning against a team already relegated in my opinion so for the Bundesliga title they need much more consistency because Bayern when will get back the injured players will keep winning again like they always do.

The draw against Cologne was just an accident, they were very lucky that Bayern could not score a few more goals. And here it’s not even about the injured players, Bayern have someone to score, I think they will show us this soon. I was also surprised how Union Berlin were able, after several unsuccessful matches (when it seemed that they had a recession), to beat Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen and again take second place, losing only three points to Bayern.

Bayern Munich does not have any wind in their last two matches. Actually, they do not have a win in their last three matches, but I am not going to include club-friendly matches. And even if we let the match against Leipzig slide, we have to agree that they should have certainly won the match against Koln. That was easy for them. The next match is against Frankfurt and currently, Frankfurt is in a good form. I believe that Bayern Munich should be able to win this match. But things can easily go south for Bayern Munich as well.

Mainz gave a tough game against Dortmund but glad to see that dortmund has been achieving the win against mainz. Based on the result of the match if dortmund was dominating the ball possession. Mainz may not get ball so much but it was able to scoring 1 goal against Dortmund. Mainz was playing defensively against Dortmund. It was using counter attack to give surprise attack. 1 goal already made by mainz which is good. Dortmund was almost draw if giovanni reyna was not scoring the goal for Dortmund.

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.

In general, the last 4 games Koln won(Even though some of the matches were friendly), and in the match against Werder they even scored 7 goals! So now Koln has good statistics and the team is clearly on the rise, which cannot be said about Bayern. In general, if it were not for Kimmich, who scored a goal in the 90th minute and saved Bayern from defeat, Koln would have won 5 games in a row.
In general, with such a game Bayern will be difficult in the upcoming matches with PSG, although PSG also didn't start the season very well, but they have Messi and Mbappe who can solve problems alone.

Koln is probably in good form now. But Bayern Munich will be far ahead of Koln in terms of experience. Also, if you compare the squads of Bayern Munich and Koln, Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be ahead. Bayern Munich was also ahead in the head-to-head match against Koln. So everyone expected Bayern Munich to win this match. But Bayern Munich drew this match disappointing everyone.
I would say Munich should try to be a bit more stable. If they still can't stabilize themselves then they won't be able to win against Frankfurt in the next match. Frankfurt is strong enough this season.

[Lafu]

But, Frankfurt here can steal the show and if they are able to do this then surely many teams will be taken good advantage of slip of points from Bayern Munich because gape could be cut and things will be more interesting which will have entertaining end of this season for the Bundesliga after many years while Bayern Munich is dominating force in last one decade.

I looking excited forward to the game betwee Bayern Munich and Frankfurt on the weekend , my bet will be for a win at Frankfurt , because its possible.
Another draw or lose for Bayern Munich would be not so nice for Munich but would be helping Frankfurt.
Also hope that Leipzig and Dortmund will win there games on the weekend.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yeah, it's true that Dortmund's been selling a lot of their top players but we gotta remember that's just part of the game. Dortmund has to make decisions that are best for them financially while others already have a bunch of money to throw away. But even with all the players sold, they always seem to find new talent and that's pretty impressive. I think as long as they keep doing what they are good at (transferring and playing), they'll be able to compete in the top 4. Don't forget they're still a strong team, they just need to get back to consistent performance

They have a good approach that helped their club resolved their financial crisis years ago. After that, they got some successful seasons but did not change the approach. It is not good if they want to win trophies but it helps them to have very good finance that is one of best in Germany.
I see the approach of Dortmund is like Monaco in Lique 1 and Sevilla in La Liga. In comparisons, Sevilla is a most successful club with this approach. They did not win La Liga but won many Europa League with 6 titles in their history and all came from recent seasons. Dortmund and Monaco have similar approach, buy young players and sell them with expensive price when they became star players but failed to succeed like Sevilla.
Maybe Dortmund wasted too much attention and resources for Bundesliga where they have nearly no opportunity to beat Bayern. Sevilla are different and they mostly focused on Europa League.

Yes, there are a set of clubs who maintain this financial policy which is to scout out potential future stars and nourish them into making them better players. And finally, sell them to the bigger clubs for a huge transfer fee.

We have been seeing these from Dortmund over and over again. They have sold players like Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Mario Garza, Mats Hummels, and a lot more players in the same manner.

Another team is Monaco who have sold players like Kylian Mbappe, James Rodriguez, etc. I think even though these teams do not rank higher in the leaderboard they make a good enough revenue from the transfer market.

Well, what happens is that Dortmund's policies are very diverse, I don't know if you remember the time Lewa came out showing off in the team that brought out many very good teams, at that moment they appealed for going after a title, they didn't Nothing mattered more than that, having the PL, going for everything in the UCL, Now with all this it can be said that Dortmund is a team that is totally allied to a business model, yes. In the training of great players, I really don't know how they do it, I don't know what the criteria are for their academy, how they can exploit their full potential, but whatever they are developing is doing well, even so without winning Titles.

Well, the truth is, Bayern have been a bit bad, I don't know how they tied against Cologne, it really has left me very impressed, however I see Bayern quite disoriented, I don't know what happens to the players, now it's not because of the forward, they are also bad in their defense, I don't know what the central defenders and midfielders have, at first I thought they were going through a crisis, but after having seen what they did I don't understand them, I don't know if they have problems On a personal level within the locker room, if the relationship with the technical director is bad, but it is strange, although they are going well, they should not give away more points in draws.

Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka breaks off training with apparent injury

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka was forced to break off training early on Thursday. Bild’s reporter at Säbener Strasse, Dennis Brosda, spotted Goretzka leaving for the locker room after 38 minutes, effectively missing half of the training session. Goretzka was previously substituted at half-time on Tuesday against 1. FC Köln over injury concerns.

    Leon Goretzka stopped Thursday's training session after 38 minutes and went into the dressing room. The midfielder missed the last half an hour of the session. It's still unclear whether Goretzka suffered an injury and whether he'll be available against Frankfurt [@BILD] pic.twitter.com/T73sntFmiN
    — Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) January 26, 2023

If Goretzka is injured, he will likely miss Bayern Munich’s important game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (Jan. 28). Bayern is currently in first place on the Bundesliga table, but only five points separate Bayern (36) from Frankfurt (31) — and Union Berlin is only three points behind the Bavarians.

@Lafu if Frankfurt can stun Bayern then Bayern’s title defence will be under severe pressure, because the difference between the top 4 team’s is very less hence Bayern can’t afford a slip up. Lastly I have a personal feeling that Bayern will be too strong for Frankfurt, hence I would strongly advise you’ll to check odds on Frankfurt and if they’re really high only then should you’ll consider wagering on them.
