Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[rahmad2nd]

Seem like Bayern is back to track to Champions. when we look at their performance in Bundesliga it's not too perfect, wins 2x and draw 3x. it's different with Union, they have perfect win 5x. But, they back step to on top again because Bayern is a club that has a winner mentality, it's different from another club like Union, which can easily be shifted if not good.

In the next 3 days, Munchen going to Gladbach. they are still the favorite with 1.4 odds. while Gladbach has 6.6 odds.

Munich played very impressively in last night's match, despite some pressure, especially in the last minutes. but in the end, Nagelsmann's squad was able to maintain the score until the end of the match. Furthermore, Nagelsmann must prepare his troops in the second leg later. the reason is, it looks like PSG will play all out to win when playing at the Allianz Arena, headquarters of Munich. Next week, Bayern will have an away game against Gladbach at Borussia-Park. looking at the current performance of the visitors, in five matches Gladbach was only able to win one match, three defeats, one draw. so it should be, three points is the result they must get considering Gladbach's very poor performance.

On the other hand, Union Berlin is in second place behind Munich by one point. Berlin has the chance to overtake the leaders of the standings if they are able to overthrow Schalke in the match later, but on condition that Bayern slips up against Gladbach. and it seems, the competition for the Bundesliga standings is quite competitive in the next few weeks.

Bayern returned home with an important victory vs PSG in Parc des Princes
Unfortunately for PSG that Mbappe wasn't fully fit for the game, yet he pushed the team to recover after the goal. Not sure what Galtier is trying to do but the mission become more difficult with 1 goal late. Mbappe is the key for PSG, if he is fit in the second leg then Bayern might suffer, otherwise game over for PSG this season.

Mbappe has been benched before. Mbappe was not fully recovering but mbappe was pushing himself to play against PSG. Mbappe has been trying what he can do against bayern but bayern was too strong. PSG was only getting a few chance and one of these chances were getting off side. I hope that bayern will be defeating PSG in the next leg in allianz arena. That will be so good to see that mbappe to leave from PSG after losing against bayern.

With good performance of Yann Sommer in match against PSG in Champions League hours ago, Bayern has a good goalkeeper to replace Neuer in rest of a season. He even is able to compete with Neuer for a main position in a next season. Bayern are smart to choose Yann Sommer, not Livakovic because Sommer has more experience than those goalkeepers and he has proven his ability to fight against pressure in many big tournaments.

From the match with PSG, we see that Bayern are actually strong with attacking too. They can destroy PSG in ball possession and created so many opportunities. If they fail, it is from their bad ability to score goals. Choupo-Moting is not comparable to other legendary strikers in Bayern history.

I agree that Yann sommer played a good game and he looks like he could be a good replacement, but that doesn't mean that he would be fighting against one of the best goalkeepers in the world. I think as soon as Neuer returns, he will get back to his starting position and won't be giving that up to any other goalkeeper, there are already handful of goalkeepers that could do that and Bayern doesn't have any of them.

However, this game was definitely a proof that he is good enough to keep them going for this year, both in the league and in the UCL, if they keep being this good on defense than it would be even better. Fact that made me laugh, Bayern had three right backs who played in this game, but they played in defense sharing positions.

Frankfurt have lost some of their momentum these days. They got a really big defeat against Koln by 3-0 this time. Frankfurt had a really bad defending in this game which was the biggest factor in this loss. I thought that maybe their mind was on their Champions League game but there is still around one week to go for that. So I wonder what the reason behind this is.

They are quite away from the championship race in the league now as a result. But they are still in the fight for top 4 that's for sure.

In the last 10 games, they have lost only the one against Cologne, I would say that is a small mistake. I don't think Frankfurt have lost some of their momentum these days. The 1-1 against Bayern Munich is 18 days ago showed me that Frankfurt belongs in the top 3 German teams. This Saturday they will play at home against Bremen and if everything goes "normally" they will win. The most important game will be on 21.02., the SSC Napoli comes to Germany. There it will show us how strong Frankurt is.

Frankfurt has been doing well recently. I started loving this club when they put up big surprises during last season's Europa League. I know them as a team that has good defence but I am surprised how they conceded 2 goals from Koln without replying any. It could be because of European competition they will face. But if were their coach, I will not reserve my best players.

After falling head over heels in the previous game, Frankfurt now has to drop to 6th place in the standings. Even if we backtracked last month, if I'm not mistaken, Frankfurt had occupied 2nd place in the standings and made the competition in the top 4 of the standings feel very competitive. But now they are really having a hard time in every match and when they play against Wender Bremen later I hope they will find their best form again and be able to compete with other teams in the standings. Talking against Napoli is of course a match that is not easy for Frankfurt even though they have home advantage, but Napoli are currently so powerful and very difficult to beat.

I'm not sure but it feels like Bayern Munich season is not acting like the other precious seasons because from what we remember, Bayern Munich usually could take lead and win the league but huge difference and every year the second team in the league could usually fight to stay send and they had literally no luck to win the first place while this season Bayern Munich is just one single points head and this is very much lost to the second team so I guess this season Union Berlin can even have the chance to become the champion.

you should have seen the final result of that match where koln beat Eintracht frankfurt with a score of 3-0 not 2-0 as you mentioned. I think Glasner didn't reserve their core players for that match but Eintracht Frankfurt came down with the perfect squad in the match against Koln, it's just that the quality of Eintracht Frankfurt play in that match was quite bad, their defense was quite fragile which made it easier for Koln players to build attacks. This defeat also made Eintracht Frankfurt have to settle for 6th place this week, even though they had previously climbed to 2nd place in the standings.

In the upcoming match Eintracht frankfurt will face Bremen before they face Napoli in the Champions league. I think Glasner should organize a better strategy in the match against Bremen because if they can win that match then Eintracht Frankfurt can return to the top 4.

While I acknowledge that Frankfurt's recent games have been unstable than they would have liked, I do not believe that they have lost any momentum. They proved themselves to be one of Germany's best teams with their performance against Bayern Munich. I think they have what it takes to bounce back and contend with the other top teams in the standings and I have high hopes for their upcoming encounter against Bremen. In spite of the difficulty of the next encounter against SSC Napoli, I believe Frankfurt will come out on top thanks to the significant advantage they have at home. Although Frankfurt has struggled recently, they have shown that they have what it takes to be a successful squad.

They even lost 3-0 in that game. Obviously this is a surprise because, regardless of anything in this match, they are indeed the favorites, but they always fail to protect the defense when in a state after attacking which makes this where Koln put to good use.
With this condition, they cannot overtake Leipzig again, which they also lost in the previous match.

I agree that Bayern Munich have not been like their usual season, but that could be because they have decreased or their competitors have improved. But apart from all that they are still able to lead the standings even though with a very tight difference in points. It looks like they will be more distracted now as they will definitely be distracted by the Champions League. And I think they will definitely focus more on the Champions League. This could be another opportunity for other clubs who want to take the top of the standings by taking advantage of Bayern Munich's busy schedule in the Champions League.

It is not only particular for Bayern Munich, it has happened to some other big teams. If you check laliga, Real Madrid is not topping the league. If you check English Premier League, Manchester City is not topping the league. Almost all the big teams are struggling this season. But that of Bayern is different because they are still topping Bundesliga and defeated PSG.

Bayern Munich will be the champions of the Bundesliga this year as well. I am saying this because the performance of Bundesliga teams is not regular. This season several teams like Dortmund, Union Berlin, Freiburg and Frankfurt started the season quite well. I thought this season will have several teams fighting for the title and the season will be competitive. But every team lost form and fell behind. However, Union Berlin and Dortmund can still compete for the title if they can win consecutive matches.

[KTChampions]

Dortmund pleases and there is still some semblance of intrigue, although 20 rounds are already behind, but when I look at bookmakers' quotes, it becomes funny to me. Bavaria - 1.06, Dortmund - 16.66. Lol! Looks very disrespectful to all clubs except Bayern (Union Berlin has odds of 26). In general, I also think that everything will end as always, but these odds look unfair.

In my opinion, the odds seem unfair when you look at the current league table.  Apart from Bayern, other teams have almost no chance compared to the bookies.  This ratio may actually be a testable possibility.  Nobody should bet on 1.06 odds, especially if we observe the current state of the league.  Union Berlin's rate is enormous.  If they can win the championship, they will surely make those who bet on them very happy.  The rate given for Dortmund is a high rate in my opinion.

I don't believe in Union (at least I'm not interested in 26 odds on them), but why Dortmund 16.66? Only three points difference. I am not fond of long-term bets, but if I did, I would bet on Dortmund, since from the current position, once every 16 years, the underdog must win. Even PSG lost the championship recently or Leicester became the champion of the Premier League, and here we have quite a solid Dortmund team.

Because really, who wants to save money for so long only for 1.06 there, so there certainly won't be many enthusiasts because it's just a waste of time.
On the other hand talking about Union even though they have progressed quite well today still this won't do much because indeed they are only inconvenient for other teams but not with Bayern because even if the gap is currently close but when talking about Bayern and the championship it is clear they are not touched.

[emrecemsan]

Dortmund are definitely underestimated right now. They are in a distance of only three points to Bayern Munich in the standings. Their form is really difficult to overlook right now. They have been on a winning streak for many weeks. Maybe they don't have a very strong defense line but they are still able to compensate for it thanks to their scoring effort. Bayern Munich are quite inconsistent in this season. They are like trying to gift the championship to some other team.

I think Dortmund have quite a big opportunity ahead to take advantage of. This can be the season Bayern Munich's title streak finishes. I know that Dortmund's vision is totally different but I hope they won't start being complacent and lose their title chance.

[bct_ail]

Dortmund won their first leg in the Champions League with 1:0 against Chelsea. That was a good performance from the whole team. They played well together. The next match will be against Hertha Berlin. Before Union Berlin will play. Then we will see if they have a chance to climb to placw 2 in the table. But I do not expect that because Union Berlin will play against Schalke before.

[lalabotax]

In the last 10 games, they have lost only the one against Cologne, I would say that is a small mistake. I don't think Frankfurt have lost some of their momentum these days. The 1-1 against Bayern Munich is 18 days ago showed me that Frankfurt belongs in the top 3 German teams. This Saturday they will play at home against Bremen and if everything goes "normally" they will win. The most important game will be on 21.02., the SSC Napoli comes to Germany. There it will show us how strong Frankurt is.

But indeed, Frankfurt must learn from the last match result. For, they have been slaughtered 3-0 by Coins who are not a big club. Even though they might deserve to be in the top 3, they should have been able to anticipate this last match better. Granted, this may not have been a good day for them because they have also dropped and been knocked out to 6th place, this might bother them. Regarding the UCL, Napoli is certainly not an easy club to beat, even though they are at home to Frankfurt and they want to show how strong Frankfurt really is, Napoli is still not an easy opponent to beat. especially if you see the consistency of the club so far is very good.

[Velvet78]

I think the Gladbach game might be difficult for Bayern Munich in a couple of days.

Because their recent head-to-head history isn't very bright for Bayern Munich side. They couldn't beat Gladbach away since 2019 and this is going to be another away game for them. They beat PSG in the Champions League newly in a tough matchup actually so maybe this can be a big boost to their morale. Their recent games in the Bundesliga were also good for them so I think they can show a good performance for the win.

[OcTradism]

I agree that Yann sommer played a good game and he looks like he could be a good replacement, but that doesn't mean that he would be fighting against one of the best goalkeepers in the world. I think as soon as Neuer returns, he will get back to his starting position and won't be giving that up to any other goalkeeper, there are already handful of goalkeepers that could do that and Bayern doesn't have any of them.

Neuer can not keep up his good performance against age and no player can resist against ageing forever. We see what happened with Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic in the past two seasons. Goalkeepers usually have longer career than players at non-goalkeeper positions but sooner or later, they will lose their best and have to stop. Neuer will have to face with same issues.

I believe in next two seasons, Yann Sommer will take over the main position of Neuer if he stays in Bayern Munich and if Bayern won't buy a younger goalkeeper to replace both Neuer and Sommer.

However, this game was definitely a proof that he is good enough to keep them going for this year, both in the league and in the UCL, if they keep being this good on defense than it would be even better. Fact that made me laugh, Bayern had three right backs who played in this game, but they played in defense sharing positions.

With his performance for Switzerland, I am sure Yann Sommer can play well in Champions League especially if Bayern Munich have to play knock-out matches with penalty shots.
