Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Pandu Geddon]

Dortmund and Bayern Munich will always compete with each other, although this is a distinct advantage for Dortmund compared to Bayern Munich, who are burdened with continuing to maintain consistency at the top of the standings. But it needs to be seen so far that Bayern Munich strength is slightly above Dortmund. As you said, if Bayern slips a little and makes a mistake or lets one match go to waste, then that's where Dortmund will replace his position.

In terms of quality, I'm still optimistic that Munich is superior. but indeed Munich has been a little off guard this season by starting the season not so well and finally now they are back on a good trend. despite having the same points at the moment, it does not mean that Dortmund will get the title this season. there are still quite a lot of games left, and that makes the competition even more interesting. whoever is more consistent, they will deserve to be on top till the end. even Union Berlin haven't completely lost their chance for a trophy either.

[KTChampions]

Dortmund scores an average of 2.5 goals per game in the last 10 games, so we can assume that with such an opponent as Schalke, the figure will be at least two goals. But I don't think that now anyone cares about goal difference and secondary statistics, especially when there are important games in the Champions League and there is still a long distance to the end of the championship that will require a lot of strength.

That's right, this week is a busy schedule for Dortmund and I think they can win with an average goal alone which is good and Dortmund doesn't need to play hard to score many goals. Coach Eden Terzic must be able to work on the stamina of his players so that everything is kept safe and stable in every match that will be played later. Player rotation and long-term implementation must be maintained by Dortmund in order to get maximum results.

By the way, I remembered my idea that Dortmund will play either in a great mood after reaching the 1/4 of the Champions League, or in a terrible mood after relegation. In both options, they should play well. Despite the fact that Schalke in recent games almost does not concede goals, theoretically they should return to the average result in the season - almost 2 goals per game. Perhaps I will bet on the victory of Dortmund with a handicap of -1 and odds of 2.46.

The handicap bet (-1) for Dortmund is quite good, considering that they certainly won't be able to score many goals against Schalke this week. However, Schalke really rarely conceded in their last 5 matches in the Bundesliga and only conceded 1 goal. On the other hand, with a record like that, isn't it too risky if you take the handicap (-1) for Dortmund to win, maybe if I may suggest it's better for you to take a handicap bet (-0.75) at least if Dortmund wins with a narrow score of 0-1 or 1-2 you can still get a half win and if Dortmund wins with a score of 0-2, of course you are safe with a full win in the bet.

Can Dortmund overcome the defending champion ?
I see Dortmund are really challenging Bayern, After the 23rd round of the weekend, Bayern still holds the top of the table. However, they cannot create a significant difference from Dortmund, the two teams still have the same 49 points, and Bayern is only ranked above thanks to the difference. Dortmund is a worthy team to compete with Bayern this season, Leipzig or Union Berlin are showing signs of "exhaustion".

Leipzig finally has a new sports director. It is Rouven Schröder. He worked actively at Schalke until October 2022, but then his contract was on hold. Leipzig had been without a sports director since May 2021. At that time Markus Krösche was the sports director in Leipzig and left to Eintracht Frankfurt in June. Schröder had his contract on hold in October for personal reasons.

Yes, that's the fact. that Bayern's dominance will be difficult to break its competitors. although at this time, Dortmund have the same 49 points with Bayern. however, it is not an easy matter for Dortmund to remain consistent until the end of this season. to be honest I am happy if the Bundesliga trophy this season is won by another team, but after all it seems that the Bundesliga trophy will still be owned by Bayern Munich. even though Bayern had experienced a decline in several matches, the fact is that they are still at the top of the standings. also, these two teams have one meeting match. the result, will determine the distance between the points of the two teams.

If, Dortmund is able to provide fierce resistance when they meet Bayern Munich later. With that in mind, Dortmund's chances of winning a trophy this season are wide open. but what is certain, if one of these two teams slips in the following matches. that is, one of the teams has a great opportunity to widen the distance between the points. well, since the league schedule still has 11 matches remaining. let's just enjoy it, because the battle for trophies this season is exciting and more competitive.

I see myself as betting on Dortmund win. Borussia Dortmund has been playing good matches lately in the leadership race. Maybe they will lose points because they will be tired in the match they will play with Schalke after the difficult test they will play with Chelsea, but I still see Borussia Dortmund as the winner.

Dortmund will play an away match against hoffenheim and they will surely aim the 3 points to get the first place waiting for Bayern match, getting the 3 points and the first place will surely give them a big phycological push to continue chasing Bayern and why not get the title, it will not be easy for sure but not impossible

Hoffenheim is a team that is not strong enough this season and the team also lost very often when they met Dortmund in the Bundesliga. And yes, this is a good opportunity for Dortmund to get three points at home to Hoffenheim in order to get first place in the Bundesliga standings, because tomorrow Bayern Munich and Union Berlin will compete in the match to show their ability to be the best.

After all, these three teams now have the same points and Dortmund has the opportunity to become the leader of the standings if Bayern Munich's match with Union Berlin is a draw, because I don't think that Bayern Munich will lose at home when they meet Union Berlin.

As we know, Hoffenheim's performance was really very bad. in their 11 matches in the Bundesliga, they were unable to win a single game. Currently, Hoffenheim is ranked 15th on the standings. and if Matarazzo is not able to restore his team's performance in this match, then their ranking will fall into the relegation zone which incidentally has the same points as Bochum with 19 points. In this match, like it or not, Hoffenheim had to appear all out and provide resistance to the opposing team.

Meanwhile, Dortmund is currently in a very good performance. Edin Terzic's squad, swept 8 wins in all competitions. in this match, it is only natural that Dortmund will again be favorites to win over the home team. Dortmund also has the potential to shift the top of the standings if they are able to win the game over Hoffenheim. even so, some of Dortmund's core players will be absent in this match. So, it looks like the battle will be quite tough. even so, after all Dortmund has a big chance to overthrow the home team in this match.

Of course, Dortmund can win because they have an incredible team and the best part is that they haven't sold out their main players.

The main contender in the UCL is Real Madrid, they have a very high efficiency rating and that is something that cannot be denied and it is not that I am underestimating the other teams, but Real Madrid in particular is the strongest for me...

And from what I see in Bayern they need a striker who can score goals quickly and efficiently, Muller has few playing minutes so he tires quickly.


In another order of ideas, the game most anticipated by Bayern is getting closer:

Joao Cancelo ‘quiet but frustrated’ by ongoing situation at Bayern Munich

Manchester City’s on-loan full-back Joao Cancelo is reportedly ‘quiet but frustrated’ by an ongoing situation surrounding his game time at Bayern Munich.

The 28 year-old left the Etihad Stadium is rather sudden and surprising circumstances during the most recent January transfer window, joining Bayern Munich on loan until the end of the ongoing season.

I totally disagree with you on Borussia Dortmund winning their match against Chelsea because of their good football. Let's not forget that Chelsea is playing at home at Stamford Bridge and with the support of their fans coupled with the positive effect of their winning at the weekend, they're surely gonna win the match tonight against Borussia Dortmund. The only thing I think that weaken the morale of this Chelsea side later tonight is if they allow Dortmund to score first.

But after Leipzig did not have a sporting director, the fact is that Leipzig's performance is still in good results. So, maybe having a sporting director or not might not be a big deal but yes, of course if Schalke has a sporting director then that would be expected to improve team fitness and performance.

But if I consider that Rouven Schröder previously worked for Schalke, is that the right choice for Leipzig? Because at least we can see that Schalke's performance so far hasn't been great, but hopefully that won't happen for Leipzig either.

I think it comes definitely down to whether or not Dortmund scores a fast first goal. Now that Schalke has only conceded one goal in six games, it doesn't seem to me as if it is still coincidence and not a fundamental change in their defense as you say. I think they are just better, which means that they are not necessarily going back to their average of conceding two goals per game. It can't just be luck if have five clean sheets in six games when before you conceded two per game. I did maths and it was even 2.5 goals conceded per game on average.

I am sure they must have done work to improve it. You can be lucky once or twice, maybe three times in a row, but is conceding one goal in six games still luck?

I tend towards Dortmund as well as any other result would be a disappointment for them. But there are now a couple of teams who thought it's going to be some easy three points against Schalke and then they couldn't score.

Dortmund will have hard days ahead because first, they have to face Chelsea in the Champions League which can't be an easy game for Dortmund in any condition and then they have to face Schalke in which they should fight and get the three points they need to keep racing with Bayern Munich so their coach should somehow manage the team and he can even take some risk and give some player rest to race in both leagues in the same time.

[FanEagle]

Having this many injured players will definitely drop their chances to win this game, but none of the players are the make or break level players if you ask me and they should be able to play decently.

I think Chelsea is so bad at this moment that they could be missing Jude and they could still win the game as well. Look at how great they became even without Haaland, playing at UCL for a quarterfinals chance and playing against Bayern to have a chance at the title as well, those are not easy stuff to do and they did this after they lost Haaland as well. So, I feel like if there is any team that can win while missing players, then that is Dortmund for sure.

[execijutiere]

Dortmund and Bayern Munich are neck and neck. Both have 49 points and neither wants to drop points. This week bayern Munich will host augsburg at home. Dortmund will travel to schalke 04 away. Both of them don't have very difficult matches when we look at them. I don't think there will be any surprises this week. I see wolfsburg- union berlin as the important match of the week. It is difficult to predict because it is possible for both sides to win the match.

I never make fractional bets and generally have a negative attitude towards them. This is a blur of ideas and goals, in this case, diversification is bad, because if you diversify your bet as much as possible, then the bookmaker will take its guaranteed margin and that's it.

You are asking the right questions, but how do we know if the results are the result of improvements or a deviation from the average? One can only observe, but I would say that even if these are the results of improvements in the game, then random fluctuations will occur towards the average value. And in a game against a strong Dortmund, the likelihood of this is high.

[AakZaki]

It will not be easy for Chelsea to win against Dortmund even though the match is at Chelsea's home ground, because on aggregate Dortmund have won ahead of Chelsea in the first leg even though only with one goal. Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga, Dortmund will have a little trouble if they have to score more than five goals at home to Schalke, even though Schalke is a team in the relegation zone. After all, the difference in the number of goals between Dortmund and Bayern Munich is still very large now.

Dortmund are in good shape, but underestimating Chelsea is also wrong. I think there are still quite a lot of chances for Chelsea to win and qualify, because they play at Stamford Bridge.
Dortmund in the League itself has the same points as Bayern Munich. They only lost on goal difference. Of course, at this time, Dormund and Bayern Munich are equally busy in Europe. Anyone who makes mistakes in the League will certainly make it even more difficult for them to become champions.

Haller returned to the starter in this match and I like the Dortmund line up in this second leg which shows that they are not playing especially seeing their condition in away.
Seeing from the formation carried out, it seems that they will still want to make a midfield and defense well and I like it, even though there is no name of Adeyemi who is still recovery, but the Dortmund chance is still there now. All they need to do is focus on the condition of the game because it is certain that Chelsea will try to press more in order to pursue the aggregate

I don't believe Bayern and Dortmund will drop points in their next league games because they both have a good chance of beating their opponents this weekend.

Dortmund were always the winning side in their last five matches against Schalk04, while Bayern Munich won three and lost two of their last five matches against Augsburg, so I expect both of them to win their matches.

With or without a sporting director, RB Leipzig has been performing very well in recent seasons and the addiction of a sporting director will help in improving teams fitness and also harness the young players in the squad. Rouven Schröder's performance with Schalke shouldn't be a yardstick to determine how well he can do at Leipzig. Judging from the fact that he is a very experienced football expert, I think he will do a great job when he resumes his duty as the sporting director of RB Leipzig.

I know it is easy to comment on this retrospectively, but I also didn't think that Dortmund is going to make it to the next round when Adeyemi was injured and immediately before the game started Kobel also had to skip and then Julian Brandt got injured after four minutes... There was also congestion on the streets and Dortmund arrived too late at the stadium. Can you ask for anything worse? ...

Yes you can. The penalty against them and then also that the penalty was repeated, which is a weird rule.

I don't know which of the players will also be missing against Schalke, but Dortmund is a lot weaker without Brandt, Adeyemi and Kobel. They are still good enough to beat Schalke, but it's less offensive power without the two offenders.
