Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[emrecemsan]

Dortmund are really like the only team that can fight against Bayern Munich for the league title until the end of the season. This is really happening for the first time in the recent years. There isn't much time left for the end of the season. I mean there are only ten weeks left for it. Dortmund are still in this title race by only two points behind Bayern Munich. Dortmund's incredible form for so many weeks has been a huge help for them while Bayern Munich have experienced some unexpected losses.

But Bayern Munich are still a huge favourite for the title of course. I just hope not to see this gap get bigger soon. Especially the der Klassiker in Allianz Arena will be decisive about this situation.

[bitgolden]

Anyway, Dortmund is a team that cannot be expected to win the title, because they only played against Schalke but Dortmund still failed to win. Also, Dortmund's final result from playing against Schalke, made Dortmund again have a point gap with Bayern Munich. Whereas previously, Dortmund had the same points as Bayern Munich, so yes, playing against Bayern Munich later still won't make Dortmund able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw.

So yes, I personally don't care whether the final result in the match between Bayern Munich v Dortmund will be a draw or Dortmund will win. Because in the end, Bayern Munich will always manage to return to the top of the standings, because Dortmund will not be able to consistently maintain its good position in the Bundesliga standings.

I think it could be Dortmunds fault to not get the title because of a loss like this, but could we expect Bayern to lose the title as well? Is there any chance of something like that ever happening?

I know it is rare and they are usually so consistent with their win runs when they really need it, but I can see them losing a few games and then making Dortmund the leader once again as well. That is not an impossible target for Dortmund and because of this they should aim at winning all the games they possibly could and not drop out of the race, in order to secure a title it is not just enough to win, you need to hope for the other team to lose and now it's time to hope for it.

You are right. There are matches Bayern Munich wouldn't afford to lose.   Bayern Munich will not lose the next match if their strong contender has the same point or is two point ahead of them. They seldomely lose Important matches that is needed to generate points that will help push them ahead a good contender, and this they have done from the start of this season. Consistency is really important for every team who has trophy mentality.  

There is no doubt that the Bundesliga trophy this season will still belong to Bayern Munich even though there are still matches to be played by Bayern Munich and other teams like Dortmund also still see an opportunity for themselves to continue to put up a fight to get the Bundesliga trophy this season. But I still have very full faith in Bayern Munich who will win the Bundesliga this season again because other teams are still very difficult to beat Bayern Munich.

For now it seems as if that is the case unless something unexpected happens. But usually it doesn't. Bayern has gained full confidence now and they are on fire as they reached the next stage in all three competitions for now. That is usually motivation enough for them to win the Bundesliga and probably the DFB Cup as well.

This is at least how things mostly went in the recent past. They would literally have to fall apart in order for the other teams to have a chance. Dortmund was just fighting with injury problems as well as we have seen against Chelsea. With Adeyemi and Brandt being injured their whole offensive game suffered a lot. That is where Bayern is much better off because one or two injuries won't weaken their game significantly. That is a huge advantage if you can substitute high quality with high quality. It could be the one big difference that in the end decides about success.

But I still have very full faith in Bayern Munich who will win the Bundesliga this season again because other teams are still very difficult to beat Bayern Munich.

Let's hope that dortmund will be declining in upcoming game and that's gonna give bayern a chance to make the gap even bigger. Bayern is still the most favorite club to win the title for this season. Dortmund is slowly following bayern but it seems like that bayern will be leading the competition until the end of season starting from now. The gap is not even very big caused by it's only worth 1 game for dortmund to be able to pass it. The problem since dortmund was not qualified for the last 8 and that was making dortmund to give all of focuses into the bundesliga.

bayern needs becareful with it as dortmund can surpass it anytime.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The match that brought together the bottom teams was also interesting because Schalke managed to beat Bochum with a score of 2-0, even though Schalke only beat teams who were both in the relegation zone. But with Schalke able to win with clean sheets as an away team, then of course it is still a good result. Because with this victory, at least Schalke still has the chance to survive in the Bundesliga and continue to compete to get out of the relegation zone.

Apart from that, Dortmund has also achieved good results, which has managed to consistently maintain its winning streak so far after the season break. By consistently getting consecutive wins like this, of course Dortmund can be a strong candidate to be able to win the title and also to stop Bayern Munich's dominance this season.

Dortmund is currently at the top of the table. Right now the match with Bayern Munich is going on. And of course, Bayern Munich is going to win this match. So I think the number one spot in Dortmund is going to be short-lived. Bayern Munich is going to reclaim the first spot on the table. At least that's what I believe because the match that Bayern Munich is playing right now is quite easy for them.

Actually right now the bottom of the table has become a lot more interesting. The bottom three have the same points. So it is going to be a good fight between the last four/ five teams for survival in the league.

Right now, Bayern will not let anyone take their place, they know that they must recover everything they had lost, it is normal that it is a team that may have difficulties, but their fútbol is very good, they always have an elegant way of playing I know, until now things have turned out very well in the UCL and in the Bundesliga, and yes, I know that Dortmund is hot on their heels, but to tell the truth I no longer think that Bayern are going to have a losing streak because they They are doing very well, I think that the gap that Lewa left for them is already forgotten and they have been able to solve it, let there be no doubt, it is the strongest team in the Bundesliga.

so far it doesn't seem like it, Bayern Munich dropped a lot of points, and it can happen in future matches, Sadio Mane is back and things might start to take off for Bayern, but I don't think there will be a fight until  the last 2 or 3 rounds, because I don't see Dortmund as good as Bayern, but a draw with Schalke was not that bad  their current streak in the league is still good.

Dortmund is the most competent competitor for bayern right now. 2 points are not so big. The gap in the middle season is far greater compared to it and yeah you were even able to see how dortmund was slowly climbing up to be even closer to it.
Dortmund was hoping that some of its important players can return to the match against Koln.

Borussia Dortmund is hoping to have Marco Reus, Karim Adeyemi, and Gregor Kobel back in the squad for this weekend’s Bundesliga clash against FC Köln.

https://bvbbuzz.com/2023/03/13/borussia-dortmund-hopeful-trio-return/

Dortmund needs reus. Since reus was not playing and it was giving a very big impact on the dortmund. The club seems to decline in its performance against other teams. The next match shall become an easy match for dortmund. That will be very disappointed if dortmund will be missing another points again.

It is true that Marco Reus' role is very important for Dortmund, it is clear how Dortmund plays when one of these veterans is absent from the match. However, Karim Adeyemi's role is no less important so far for Dortmund, he is very fast and agile in dribbling the ball. Several times Karim Adeyemi has also contributed to goals for Dortmund and I hope he will soon be able to appear again in Dortmund matches in the near future.

Well,for me, Dortmund plays whoever they play with, they will do well,right now they are fighting like all warriors, both in the Bundesliga and in the UCL, which is something I really like, because it shows another tint to what it is the Bundesliga, the fútbol that is played in Germany is proving to be very good and with a higher competitive level, we have Dortmund, Bayern, Union Berlin, these teams are making a difference, long ago I had heard and read from many people that I know you complained that the Bundesliga was pretty boring, but you can see how things are going now.

Dortmund eye new contract to Arsenal & Tottenham target Julian Brandt

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly set to award Julian Brandt with a new contract amid interest from Arsenal and Tottenham in recent weeks.

According to DW, an ‘astronomical contract upgrade’ is in the works for the 26-year-old playmaker having been one of the best players in Europe since the turn of the year, with Brandt scoring five goals and bagging two assists in 2023 as Dortmund went on a nine-game winning run in all competitions.

After Dortmund hosted Koln this week, Dortmund had to prepare themselves for an away match at the Allianz Arena, the headquarters of Munich. quite a tough match for Edin Terzic's team, because after all Bayern is the most formidable opponent in this competition. supposing, Dortmund is able to subvert Bayern later. meaning, Edin Terzic's team has the opportunity to win the Bundesliga trophy. but, yes, it is not an easy job. but at least, hope is still there.

Koln is not an indiscriminate team, they have a good game. Dortmund are certainly wary that losing points will make it even more difficult for them to catch up with Bayen Munchen. At the moment their gap is only two points. Bayern must also make the most of Leverkusen's game, they must also win. The game against Dortmund next week will determine their points gap, because Dortmund are currently also in good shape. Declining sharply was Union Berlin in four games without a win.

There is one more game at least before they actually play a game that is very important for their position. Let's say they still have the same points difference until next week, then there will be a very interesting scheme when they meet. If Borussia Dortmund wins, then they will be above Bayern Munich, but if they lose then they will be 5 points behind Bayern Munich. There is still hope of course for Borussia Dortmund to win that game but if it is really difficult for them then aiming for a draw would be the best option in my opinion.

Anyway, Dortmund is a team that cannot be expected to win the title, because they only played against Schalke but Dortmund still failed to win. Also, Dortmund's final result from playing against Schalke, made Dortmund again have a point gap with Bayern Munich. Whereas previously, Dortmund had the same points as Bayern Munich, so yes, playing against Bayern Munich later still won't make Dortmund able to hold Bayern Munich to a draw.

So yes, I personally don't care whether the final result in the match between Bayern Munich v Dortmund will be a draw or Dortmund will win. Because in the end, Bayern Munich will always manage to return to the top of the standings, because Dortmund will not be able to consistently maintain its good position in the Bundesliga standings.

In terms of titles, everything will be difficult to make this belong to a club other than Bayern because regardless of anything, it is certain that Bayern will be the champion, regardless of the conditions, especially with the hegemony that has been built for 10 seasons, it is clear that they are difficult to match.

But at least now there is competition being done which of course is very good even if there is no change for the hunt but at least there is competition being created in the league it is good.

For the Bundesliga as a commercial product it would be very beneficial if at least one other club could match Bayern. If a club wins the championship for ten years in a row and I am sure there are many more titles to come, the excitement about the Bundesliga is constantly decreasing. The one thing that saved Dortmund so far is their strong transfer policy, but the bad luck about it is that all good players want to leave Dortmund as soon as they realize that they are a great club to take the next step, but not a good enough club to also win some titles. That's why I think this could be going on like that for a very long time. Those are not the best prospects for fans who love to see some action at the top of the table.

this season the Bundesliga looks competitive I think, compared to previous seasons. Munich's domination has not been seen since the start of the season. even more, teams have played inconsistently this season.
Dortmund and also Munich currently have a slight difference in points. if Dortmund goes for the trophy, they still have a chance. but now Munich looks very good. their performance came back.

Bayern Munich has always been the first team to be favored to win every season, and this has become a very common sight for them. Now Borussia Dortmund still has a chance, but they have a lot of records to work on in order to win the title from Bayern Munich and these records will not be easy for them to do because they need very good consistency. I hope they will continue to try their best even though now they are behind again.

Exactly! you are right about Bayern Munich being always the first team in Germany, actually, currently, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are both in the same situation and even Dostmound got a better chance to get the title of Bundesliga because they don't need to participate in the champions league while the recently had a bad performance against Schalke but this season I can see more chance for Dortmund comparing to Bayern Munich

[rendravolt]

Augsburg vs Schalke

In the previous game, Augsburg had to lose against Bayern Munich and I think they can almost match the game from Bayern Munich. But in this match they will host against Schalke who previously managed to hold Dortmund to a draw at home. If we look at the standings, Augburg is targeting a win so they can move up to 10th place in the standings and for Schalke they have to keep fighting to get away from the relegation zone this season. If we look at the odds offered by the bookie, Augsburg is very much favored with odds @ 2.32 and for Schalke odds @ 3.10, but I think I would bet more for over 2.25 with odds @ 1.70 because I think that makes more sense because both teams definitely want to get a winning result in this match.

[asriloni]

However, Karim Adeyemi's role is no less important so far for Dortmund, he is very fast and agile in dribbling the ball. Several times Karim Adeyemi has also contributed to goals for Dortmund and I hope he will soon be able to appear again in Dortmund matches in the near future.

Dortmund needs those players to comeback as soon as possible to help the team to compete with bayern until the end of the season. Those players contributed a lot to the club. I would not be surprised if the come from those players will able to change the performance of the club. Reus is the most important part in this case as dortmund is always performing so well once reus was playing in the team. Playing without those players are big deal for dortmund.

Bayern is also ready competing with dortmund to get the title for this season.

I think maybe it's not the target to get into the top ten or be in the top ten, but I believe Augsburg are just trying to stay away from the threat of the relegation zone. Because after all, even though Augsburg has a seven-point gap with teams who are in the relegation zone, at least such a point gap still doesn't make Augsburg feel comfortable.

So yes, of course Augsburg will be looking for a win in their next game against Schalke, at least just to get into a more comfortable position and not worry about falling into the relegation zone. But yes, at the same time it seems that Schalke has also shown a slight increase in performance at this moment, so even though Augsburg is the favorite to win but still, Augsburg will not be easy to beat Schalke.

But at least now there is competition being done which of course is very good even if there is no change for the hunt but at least there is competition being created in the league it is good.

Actually, I'm only talking in terms of opportunity. that in fact, the difference of only two points from Bayern is not something that is impossible for Dortmund to overtake. because, there is still a chance and time with 10 matches remaining until the end of this season. meaning, Edin Terzic must bring his team to appear consistently until the end of this season. including, during the meeting against Bayern Munich later. if, they are able to be consistent. that way, Dortmund still has the chance to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. but, like I said in many posts. to make it happen, it is not an easy job for Ediz Terzic and his troops to keep performing optimally with high performance.

On the other hand, I also always say. Bayern's dominance will be very difficult to break, even if only two points away from Dortmund. Bayern's chance to continue to dominate this competition is still difficult for its competitors to break. proven, they are still topped the current standings. even so, at least this time the Bundesliga presents a little more competitive competition than previous seasons. So, let's just wait until this season is over.

[piebeyb]

Dortmund are really like the only team that can fight against Bayern Munich for the league title until the end of the season. This is really happening for the first time in the recent years. There isn't much time left for the end of the season. I mean there are only ten weeks left for it. Dortmund are still in this title race by only two points behind Bayern Munich. Dortmund's incredible form for so many weeks has been a huge help for them while Bayern Munich have experienced some unexpected losses.

But Bayern Munich are still a huge favourite for the title of course. I just hope not to see this gap get bigger soon. Especially the der Klassiker in Allianz Arena will be decisive about this situation.

Dortmund's failure in the UCL should be able to focus more on the main hunt for the league title, I think Dortmund is only 2 points away from Bayern Munich and only Dortmund have the opportunity to compete with Bayern Munich in the league, I think currently Munich's focus is divided into two because they have to play in the UCL quarter-finals later and also the league hunt. Dortmund's chance is to play consistently in the remaining few games

[Silence Scream]

You are right. There are matches Bayern Munich wouldn't afford to lose.   Bayern Munich will not lose the next match if their strong contender has the same point or is two point ahead of them. They seldomely lose Important matches that is needed to generate points that will help push them ahead a good contender, and this they have done from the start of this season. Consistency is really important for every team who has trophy mentality.  

There is no doubt that the Bundesliga trophy this season will still belong to Bayern Munich even though there are still matches to be played by Bayern Munich and other teams like Dortmund also still see an opportunity for themselves to continue to put up a fight to get the Bundesliga trophy this season. But I still have very full faith in Bayern Munich who will win the Bundesliga this season again because other teams are still very difficult to beat Bayern Munich.

I agree with you.  Bayern Munich is the only judge in the Bundesliga.  This has been going on for years and will continue to do so.  Bayern did not start well this year, but in the last games they managed to pull themselves together and hold on to the league.  It doesn't seem like he will easily give up his current leadership position either.

[BitcoinAccepted]

It may be called a small miracle that Bayern Munich is only 2 points ahead of Dortmund. That was different in recent seasons. But Dortmund is much more vulnerable than Munich, it can also be completely decided in a few games. I don't see Bayern giving this away any time soon. I think Bayern will drop some points, but the biggest problem for Dortmund is that they themselves drop a lot of points against lesser teams. After the winter break they put up a great series, but in the first half of the competition they dropped a lot of points and because of this mediocre start to the season they are now 2nd.

So yes, of course Augsburg will be looking for a win in their next game against Schalke, at least just to get into a more comfortable position and not worry about falling into the relegation zone. But yes, at the same time it seems that Schalke has also shown a slight increase in performance at this moment, so even though Augsburg is the favorite to win but still, Augsburg will not be easy to beat Schalke.

Indeed, it can be said that it is clear that Augsburg must be able to secure 3 points at home so that their position is more comfortable. However, Schalke is not an easy opponent, we know that lately Schalke has made it difficult for several strong teams such as Dortmund and Union Berlin, which forced everyone to achieve a draw. So I think it will be an interesting match to watch.

Dortmund will face Bayern in April 1st, and that is considered as the best opportunity to get closer from them and eventually passing them, or else give Bayern a chance to fly away with the title.
The remaining matches in the next rounds are somewhat equivalent between the two teams, I mean neither of these teams have a serie of hard games or easy ones.
