Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[tulusikhlas]

Bayern Munich's home match against Freiburg was a completely unexpected result. As Munich's performance in the previous match against Dortmund was very good. So in this match, everyone expected Bayern Munich to get an easy win in this match but Munich was a bit unlucky so they lost. Freiburg went on to win the match after 90 minutes of extra time with a goal from the penalty spot. But I am worried about how Bayern Munich will perform in the Champions League match. A win against Manchester City is likely to become more difficult for Bayern Munich.

Maybe this has something to do with them not being too serious about competing in the DFB, because there is a big match waiting for them ahead, so it looks like they will try to focus on that match rather than in the DFB. This result is also not the end of Bayern Mnuich's journey, because they still have a second leg that can turn things around. Indeed, no one would expect their defeat after they managed to perform well in the match against Borussia Dortmund.

I think the German Cup matches are different in importance to the Bundesliga matches. It is probably difficult for Bayern to compete in three competitions at once and they favour the Champions League and Bundesliga. I have no other explanation for their loss. Soon we will see how they play against Freiburg again and then we can make conclusions.

I think that the match against Freiburg in the cup yesterday was a very important match for Bayern Munich. So they definitely tried their very best in order to win this match and to advance into the semi final of the DFB cup. Bayern has failed to reach the semi-final of the cup now 3 years in a row, which is quite extraordinary given the fact that Bayern Munich is by far the strongest team of the country. Also they definitely have a squad that has enough quantity and especially quality in order to compete for every title there is.
The reason why Bayern lost yesterday is quite simple. Freiburg defended very well, in the second half the game most of the time looked more like handball than football because Bayern made so much pressure. Still Freiburg stayed calm and defended and then they had the luck of that last minute penalty.

At first I thought that when Bayern Munich scored the first goal it would make them score more goals throughout the game. However, what happened after that was that Freiburg scored an equalizer and it lasted until the first half. In the second half I think Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the match and can score at least 2 more goals.

But what happened was the opposite, Bayern Munich was very deadlocked to score additional goals and towards the end of the match Freiburg instead got a penalty which made the score 1-2 for Freiburg's victory. Of course, many gamblers lost their money in this match because the majority definitely bet on Bayern Munich's victory. With this result, does it mean that Bayern Munich has been eliminated in the DFB cup? Or will there be a second leg later? Sorry I don't really understand the details of the DFB cup match.

The beautiful game of football is really full of surprises. Just few days ago Bayern Munich won the game against their arch rival Borussia Dortmund in the bundesliga when I never thought they would, today they are beaten by Freiburg at Alianz Arena. Although, Freiburg has been having a fantastic campaign this season but I never saw the defeat coming. Their last outing, they were beaten by Leverkusen on penalties as Leverkusen were crown winner of the trophy. Maybe luck is smiling on them again with another chance. Kudos to Freiburg.

Freiburg is not a bad team, they really know how to fight.
We can say that Bayern was a little unlucky in the match. They wouldn't have lost this game if it wasn't for the last minute penalty, the defense made a mistake. Of course, however, it is a bit interesting that they did not score a goal, when I looked at the quality of attack in the previous match, I thought that they would score 3-4 goals in this match as well.
Now everyone on the internet says that Nagelsmann is laughing

Why do you summarize this game? Enough people already talked about it.
If you are post hunting then you should make it more interesting, you sound like an AI summarizing this match.

"A win against Manchester City is likely to become more difficult for Bayern Munich." , oh you think so? Like the other 100% of people watching football. 

Also, nobody expected an easy win for Bayern. Freiburg is playing a strong season and in cup games everything is possible, this was just proven in the last match.

I am actually happy that not everything is already running perfectly for Bayern, hopefully this translates to the Bundesliga as well so that Dortmund has a small chance maybe.

Freiburg concentrated the most time on defending. And they did that really well. That Bayern Munich did not reach the semi-final 3 times in a row is really remarkable. But there is a saying that the DFB Cup has its own rules.

Bayern can show at Saturday that they are at least better in the Bundesliga. Freiburg will probably concentrate on defending again. Or because that is what most people think, in the first minutes, they will give a lot of pressure.

Against a team like Bayern Munich had to play carefully and even start the game with an attacking style, for Freiburg winning this game was important because Bayern Munich won the game a few days ago against Dortmund while they had a good performance that's why Freiburg had a better chance to beat this team because Bayern Munich had not enough time to rest for this game comparing to Freiburg.

After changing coaches, Bayern Munich performed very well against Dortmund, winning 4–2. At that time, everyone thought that the team would become stronger with the help of the new coach. But in the next match they lost against Freiburg. Munich's performance was not very good either. They played badly and lost. And I don't see Bayern Munich's chances of winning the Champions League match if they perform like that. Tuchel must find the team's weaknesses very quickly. If not, the Bayern Munich team is going to face a big problem.

Freiburg and Bayern both played last Saturday, this has nothing to do with rest. Whatever you are trying to say here it's total nonsense.
I don't know why you people comment here when you have nothing or simply false things to say?

Don't even understand what you are trying to say here to be honest!

We are all in signature campaigns and we all try to meet our posting requirements but I am slowly getting tired of comments like this. This is simply spam, nothing else.

Freiburg beat Bayern Munich 1-2 a stunning victory that has advanced them to the knockout round. Although they are yet to know their next opponent. It will be decided following the match between FC Nurnberg vs. VfB and Leipzig vs. Dortmund, both of which(matches) will take place by tomorrow.
I believe that Freiburg's victory tonight will give them more confidence to win the German DFB Pokal league since they can beat Bayern Munich at home. The luck of winning matches might carry them through the finals. Who knows?

Freiburg has certainly shown a good performance against Bayern Munich. Honestly, I was a little surprised to see the outcome of this match. I thought Bayern Munich is going to be the winner of this match. I believe Freiburg is going to be very confident about the coming matches of this tournament because, after all, they beat Bayern Munich. The best team in the Bundesliga and one of the best in the whole world. So that is certainly going to be a big confidence booster for them.

I agree with you that often unpredictable things happen in football. And that Bayern should have won this game. But if you look at other countries, the finals there are often played by clubs who are not at the top of the standings. For example in Italy or Spain 1/2 clubs from the middle of the standings. If the cup was important, maybe the underdogs of the league would not play in the final.

[AakZaki]

It seems that I am behind with Bayern Munich vs Dortmund victory. Even I was surprised they were able to win 4-2. A great start for Tuchel he could immediately prove himself a World coach. Chelsea should have lost because they let him go. Tuchel managed to make Munich continue to press until winning 4-0.
But after winning big, Munich dropped the game and they shouldn't. Hopefully of course Tuchel can be consistent, he must not make small mistakes so that he loses points again. If that happens, Dortmund will return to the top again.

[rahmad2nd]

Snip.

Its seems funny with Thomas Tuchel as new Bayern Munich manager, he was success answer public doubt with first match winning from Dortmund and have loss on second match in DFP Pokal from SC Freiburg. Does all Bayern Munich player need adapted with new scheme from their new manager?

I don't sure if have consistency performance although on  DFP Pokal make Bayern Munich keep solid actually in current Bundesliga standing behind two points from Dortmund and losing one match actually have chance for rival team replacing Bayern position. Looking on line up position seems not any change yet but Tuchel can get positive result on second games with Bayern Munich. For fans most disappointed they loss chance with tribble winner in this season after eliminating in DFP Pokal.

Bayern Munich journey in the DFB Pokal only reached the quarterfinals, surprisingly Bayern Munich lost to Freiburg in front of their own supporters. This defeat coincided after Bayern Munich beat rivals Dortmund in the Bundesliga as well as Tuchel debut as Munich new coach. Surprisingly in the DFB Pokal, Bayern Munich were not as fierce as they were when they beat Dortmund, instead they fell at the hands of Freiburg who should have been beaten easily.

In football, there are always surprises, Tuchel, who just started his career as Bayern Munich coach, had to see his team eliminated from the DFB Pokal. Now Tuchel must focus more on the two remaining competitions, the Bundesliga and UCL. Tuchel next task will be even more difficult, in the Bundesliga Munich is only 3 points ahead of Dortmund, while in the UCL they will face challenges from Manchester City.

As we said before, it's possible that Freiburg can give us a surprise in this match. and yes, Freiburg was able to topple Bayern at its own base. To be honest, this fight is pretty boring. because, the game only goes one way. In fact, Bayern were just unlucky in this match, because there were many opportunities they wasted. they also controlled 67% ball possession, 16 total shots, 4 of which were on target, 8 shots were blocked. it's a shame that of the many opportunities they had, only one chance was they able to convert into a goal. even then, a goal from Upamecamo's header.

On the contrary, the strategy implemented by C. Streich with the 4-4-2 pattern went according to plan. yes, even though it seemed that he was only playing defense and relying on counterattacks. in fact, they were able to keep up with the game from the home team. plus, luck was totally on Freiburg's side. Unfortunately, I don't dare to bet on this fight. As for Tuchel, his tactics and strategy actually went according to plan. unfortunately, Bayern was unable to capitalize on the momentum to win this battle. As a result, Freiburg has the right to qualify for the next round.

On the other hand, we will watch the Leipzig vs Dortmund match. on paper, it is advantageous for Leipzig to play at its own base. however, with some considerations. My estimate, Dortmund will qualify for the next round.

[bct_ail]

Mainz and Leverkusen have 40 points each. It is said that with 40 points the clubs can no longer be relegated. Frankfurt has 41 points and are at place 6. At Saturday Leverkusen and Frankfurt play against each other. Although Leverkusen has won their last games and the performance from Frankfurt is very unbalanced the match could end in a draw. Thus Mainz could jump on place 6 if they will win against Bremen.
Even Wolfsburg has a chance to get on place 6. But their performance is not constant and currently it looks like the clubs I have just mentioned will play for place 6.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Bayern Munich have made a really solid start with Tuchel. That win in the der Klassiker was really spectacular for them.

After watching the game they played there I'm more confident about Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title also. Dortmund are a really impressive team this season. Don't get me wrong about this but it seems like difficult for them to make it to the league title after watching them play poorly in Allianz Arena. They just need to hope for Bayern Munich to make simple mistakes in some of the remaining league games. As Bayern Munich are going to need to focus on the Champions League also maybe there might be another opportunity for Dortmund to go for but let's see.

When Bayern Munich was able to beat Dortmund in their meeting immediately Thomas was hired by the management, I really failed to praise Tuche for the good work because it was looking like a coincidence or maybe an occurrence that was supposed to happen at that particular time. Besides Bayern knows how to win Dortmund right front time. I needed another win from Thomas to check before I will begin to applaude him. But surprisingly he was unable to get a second consecutive win even when he played a lesser club.
I really doubt that he and Bayern would be able to outplay Guardiola and his men.

[swogerino]

I think in tonight games the main one is Leipzig vs Dortmund.While the odds favor Leipzig as they are playing at home I would never underestimate Borussia Dortmund despite their recent lost game in the fight for the title against Bayern Munchen.What I think is a bet which has really really high chances coming true is both teams to score yes as both teams play an open football in which many of their games have ended up with a lot of goals,the odd for such bet at 1.55 I think is fair and it can make a substantial gain of 55% to anyone betting good money,tonight this is a winning bet  .

it has always been the case that the dfb cup had its own laws, that's true.
but what's also true is that in the past it wasn't a problem at all for bayern munich. the club has actually always been able to live with and deal with the triple burden very well and has been in the cup final 8 times in each of the last 13 years.
freiburg was once again underestimated yesterday and the current unrest/discussions at bayern are more likely the points for yesterday's defeat

I tend to disagree with this the analysis a little bit. The last three years (including this year) Bayern was beaten two times in the second round against teams well below their quality. I would also doubt that Freiburg was underestimated. Bayern Munich was bad as soon as they got closer to Freiburg's goal. It almost hurt me to watch how they were out of ideas to score a goal. The discussion always arises whether they need a striker like Lewandowski again. But I think he wouldn't have made a difference in the game either.

[X-ray]

Chelsea should have lost because they let him go. Tuchel managed to make Munich continue to press until winning 4-0.

The bad result achieved by tuchel once it was facing freiburg in DFB pokal. Tuchel got so much blame after so many Bavarians were appreciating him due to his success to beat dortmund. The loss against freiburg is a very disappointing result caused by bayern missing a chance to take DFB trophy this season. Again and again, the defensive line of bayern has become the main concern. Musiala was making a mistake and that was making bayern lose against freiburg. He should put his arms in the back of his body when he wanna try to block the ball that has already shooted by freiburg's player.
Musiala needs to be evaluated by tuchel.

But after winning big, Munich dropped the game and they shouldn't. Hopefully of course Tuchel can be consistent, he must not make small mistakes so that he loses points again. If that happens, Dortmund will return to the top again.

I hope so but it needs more matches for him to prove it. We can't use one or two matches as a measurement to take a conclusion on whether tuchel has brought a good impact on bayern or not. bayern might also make a blunder by sacking naglesmann. Thomas muller has even admitted that if Freiburg was a tough opponent. Tuchel needs to make sure bayern will come back even stronger against manchester city. This gonna be a big bet for him.

[KTChampions]

Bayern are the obvious favorites after this game, but even the bookmakers admit that Dortmund has a chance:

Bayern Munich 1.13
Borussia Dortmund 5.50

Now when Bavaria is in the lead, these quotes seem adequate to me. Before the game Bayern - Dortmund Dortmund was ahead in the standings but the quotes were about the same.
I will never believe that Dortmund can fall out of the top 4, I can believe that they will lose to Union Berlin, but for them to be overtaken by three teams at once, something incredible must happen.

Bayern Munich is so unpredictable these days. They did win against Dortmund. But they lost against Freiburg which they really shouldn't have in my opinion. I know it was a DF-Pokal competition match. But it was a quarter final match and Bayern Munich should have won.

Dortmund is supposed to be the biggest competition for Bayern Munich. But whenever Bayern Munich is not playing worse, Dortmund is almost never in the equation for the title race. So of course in this competition for the title race, Bayern Munich is going to be ahead of Dortmund.

Yes, if it was a game in the Bundesliga, then everything could be fixed, but now Bayern have left the tournament. Freiburg also played in the German Cup final last year, but everyone was eager for Bayern's victory yesterday. I don’t know if this will be a blow to the club and the players’ self-confidence, but I hope they will fully recover by the games with City. Bayern are still in contention for the two major titles of the season so nothing is lost yet.

It is truly a disastrous outing for the third straight season in the DFP after they suffer same fate last two season in the hand of Monchengladbach and Holsten Kiel respectively. Again in yesterdays match against frieburg Bayern committed same errors as they have done throughout the entire season and that is relaxing after been ahead. The defensive errors yesterday seriously need to be corrected by Tuchel before next week champions league and also the bundlesliga game this weekend. The defeat shows that the major problem in Bayern squad isn’t entirely Nagelsmann’s fault.

The discussion always arises whether they need a striker like Lewandowski again. But I think he wouldn't have made a difference in the game either.

I still feel they are missing Lewandowski although Choupo moting is currently having the best season of his career in terms of goals but if we look at the number of chances created by Bayern we could all agree that they need a proper striker. The question that could arise is should they be reluctant to sign this season since they haven’t been able to see the full potential of Sadio Mane since he was injured all since and maybe he could pick next season. But regardless of how on what they decide to do I still think they need a proper and a player like Nicklas Flukrugg could come cheap
