Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[bct_ail]

Congratulations to Heidenheim and their coach Frank Schmidt. Heidenheim finally won for the first time in Bundesliga 1. They deserved to win 4:2. After the 2:2 draw, they scored two more goals and showed that the defence from Werder Bremen was pretty bad today. In addition, Frank Schmidt also has something to celebrate. Exactly 16 years ago today he started as the coach from Heidenheim. 16 years making him the longest-serving coach in German professional football.

Wow, great, how can Heidenheim keep their coach for that long. Because usually, a team will always make changes to make the team better and better. But yes, if Frank Schmidt has been at Heidenheim for a long time, then that proves that Heidenheim has high trust in Frank Schmidt. Because after all, Heidenheim is not a team that is always in the Bundesliga and in fact Heidenheim is a promoted team this season. Honestly, I still don't understand why Heidenheim can do this, because even though Heidenheim managed to win the match against Werder Bremen. But still, good performance and results like this will of course be difficult to maintain, but Heidenheim still has confidence in Frank Schmidt and that is something very extraordinary, I guess.

Leipzig against Augsburg was the cleanest match this week with not a single yellow card issued by the referee. Leipzig definitely closed their victory from the first half because they had broken into Augsburg's goal 3 times. Each goal was scored by Xavi Simons, Luis Openda and David Raum. In the second half there were no significant changes and it seemed that both teams were quite satisfied with the results. This result made Leipzig secure 3rd place, followed by Stuttgart, Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg by collecting the same number of points.

I have had sympathy for Leipzig since last year. They started this year very well and are at the top of the leadership race. They are only 1 point short of their opponents, which means they can take the lead in the matches to be played in the coming weeks.
It is not easy to become a champion when there is a team like Bayern, but we can say that Bayern is not very good this year compared to other years

Last year Munich wasn't really that dominant either. In fact, they almost lost the title last season with the same points as Dortmund.
Leipzig is always consistent with its achievements every season to continue to be at the top of the standings. they are a strong team in the bundesliga that I think is very likely to compete with Munich and Dortmund.
It's still too early in the season for every team. but I hope the competition will remain interesting until the end of the season with several clubs showing consistent performance. when the Bundesliga has strong teams that are very competitive, then it will show better competition, like in the Premier League or La Liga.

Bayern was really not that dominant but there was no team ready to make use of that. Dortmund was a joke at the end of the season, it was unbelievable what they did and also didn't deserve it then.

Leipzig is consistent yes, but it's never enough for them to lead the table and stay there. They are among the top four and that has been like that for quite long I think, but they could never be a threat to Bayern Munich in the race for the Bundesliga title. For 5 years in a row they finished in the Champions League qualifiers, but every time it was quite the distance to Bayern Munich.

What acrazy sunday matchday damn , i never thought and i guess others also that Werder Bremen will be losing against Heidenheim.
And for the other game between Darmstadt against Gladbach its the same , was thinking that Gladbach will win this ,
as Darmstadt got an red card in the 49 Minute and its lucky that this game was ending in a draw.

[YuginKadoya]

my previous prediction turned out to be wrong and surprising when Freiburg was ahead in the first half with a temporary score of 2 in the first half but after entering the second half I saw that the playing style and strategy used by Edin Terzic was slightly different and it turned out to be true if the Dortmund coach gave a new strategy in the second half so some players were able to get additional scores which was a surprise for all of us to see that Dortmund was able to secure this victory from Freiburg and I appreciate the Dortmund coach who was able to quickly understand the situation on the field and change the strategy that had to be used appropriately which resulted in the victory.
If Dortmund is able to perform consistently like this, I am sure that revival will soon be seen in Dortmund.

Actually think is Freiburg an equal team with Leipzig and they have pulverized them completely and doubled their score it really was surprising for Dortmund that have a Draw match with VfL Bochum and Heidenheim on the previous Matchday 2 and 3 it was really something and because of this people are likely saying Dortmund have returned, well for me I still need to see a match for Dortmund that could be Bayern Munich and that will be in a November match-up well looking at the upcoming matches of Dortmund for sure they will go through it with breeze,

Something is going on really wrong with Freiburg these days. Because they conceded nine goals in the last two games while scoring only two. Maybe the red card they got against Dortmund helped quite much but there wasn't such situation in the game against Stuttgart. There is a huge difference between the Freiburg this season and the last one.

They need to make a huge improvement in especially defensive effort. Because it has got much poorer. Dortmund needed this win as well by the way because they got two easy draws against smaller teams before.

Well this is surely also my question on what is happening with Freiburg aswell and maybe the Departure for this season may have to do with the current play for Freiburg and it surely has something to do with it because those departures were plenty and it surely got do to something about the recent Freiburg losses or change of play for sure,

I agree with you. Not all star players make good coaches. And many who are not good players can become excellent coaches. I think a good player and a good coach are completely different.

Alonso has done a great job with Leverkusen no doubt. Last season Leverkusen's performance was not good. This team was in sixth place in the table. But their performance has been very strong since the first match of this season. And they proved their mettle with a good performance against Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga. And Alonso's Leverkusen played very well against them. I think Munich and Leverkusen will fight for the Bundesliga title this year.

For sure there are bad players that turn out to be good at coaching you can never see your talents if you do not explore the capabilities that you have well but I am not saying that Xavi Alonso is a bad player maybe an average player in his past and actually I do not know but one thing is certain that he is doing a great job with Leverkusen right now is pretty much doing great because of him,

Bayern Leverkusen has actually made significant strides under Xabi Alonso direction, temporarily holding the top spot in the standings. Although they have shown progress, maintaining this place is uncertain because Bayern Munich is still a fierce rival. Alonso tactical acumen was on display in their most recent game, which resulted in a draw versus Munich. With Dortmund lagging behind, Leverkusen title hopes appear doable this year, but consistency will be essential. In order to build a serious push for the Bundesliga championship, Alonso must continue to maximise the team potential and make sure they win every game.

If last season Leverkusen only succeeded in finishing in 6th place, then this season Leverkusen's chances of stopping in the top 3 are very big, with Alonso's good experience as a football player, he was able to build a strong team in defense and attack, i see his coaching style is similar to Jurgen Klopp.  So far, Bayern has always been superior to its opposing team when playing at home, but when facing Leverkusen, the two seem evenly matched, Leverkusen's opponent in the next match is Heidenheim, it will definitely be an easy match for them to win.

There were a few surprises this game week. Also, for example, that Bayern Munich played a draw. Werder and Gladbach were actually my favorites today and unfortunately they disappointed me. But at least the Bundesliga remains exciting

Leipzig without doubt has been one of the most consistent German clubs for over five years now and I think they deserve some praises for how well they've been performing with their average players. They're currently in the third position in the German Bundesliga table and are just one point behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen who are also in the same points with second placed Bayern Munich after four league games.
They play their UEFA Champions League game next week Tuesday away at Young Boys and I believe they're gonna have a good result in that game after their comfortable win against Augsburg yesterday.

It's difficult when the difference is so stark in terms of mentality and strength that even when there is an opportunity, it sometimes seems to be wasted.
For example, last season where it should have been easily obtained by Dortmund because of the determination they only had to win 3 points when they were quite favoured but in the end everything returned to belong to Bayern, which is irrefutable evidence that clubs other than Bayern in the Bundesliga seem to lose hope in the title race.

Leipzig in terms of performance I would not say they are stable but they can always be in the top 4 at the end of the season.
The start of this season they did better than before but I agree with you that it won't be a reference point for the title race because in the end all they're after is probably the top 4.

That's one opportunity that won't come to Dortmund again until after a while, if they had won their last game they would had been the defending champions and winning the league would had boosted their performance this season maybe that would had even encouraged them to try strengthening the team to a better standard of defending their trophy.
 
 I think Leipzig are not bad this season and they're on the right track and you're not all wrong when you said they'll finish top four this season, they got a strong team capable of contending for the league they're currently third ín the table and has recorded just one lose and won theee games so far wgich is fair enough still classify them as title contenders this season hopefully in the future they'll be strong enough to challenge Bayern Munich and win the trophy

Results for games Yesterday and it was a great one,

Freiburg (2) VS Dortmund (4) - Dortmund WINS

So far in this season, the game between Freiburg and Dortmund was the game I saw in the last week. Freiburg had a good performance in the first half and they finished the first half with a 2-1 result while the second half was really different for both teams because Dortmund used the chances they had and they better performance during the second half.
However, the red card Nicolas Höfler affected the game.

And for the other game between Darmstadt against Gladbach its the same , was thinking that Gladbach will win this ,
as Darmstadt got an red card in the 49 Minute and its lucky that this game was ending in a draw.

The whole tour turned out to be interesting and I see that the average goals scored (3.7 in this round) is something other leagues can only envy. The standings are also encouraging - 7 teams are within 2 points and there is no single leader.
In the next round, Bayern plays at home with Bochum, and Bayer with Heidenheim are also at home, most likely the duo lead will remain.

A big setback for the big teams when they faced unseeded teams but they failed to secure full points. For Gladbach, they were lucky not to be beaten in this match because the hosts performed better than them in this match. Even though they managed to dominate possession of the ball, it didn't mean anything because in the end they failed to achieve their target of getting full points. So what's interesting is that Heidenheim was able to give Bremen a big warning not to underestimate them in front of their supporters because despite their status as a promoted team this season, they were able to provide something surprising for Bremen. Bochum is still having difficulty getting their first win this season, even their final results in the standings table are almost the same as last season, which was filled with draws. Yes, next week Bochum will face Bayern Munich, of course it will be easy to choose who will win this match.

Freiburg had a good performance in the first half and they finished the first half with a 2-1 result while the second half was really different for both teams because Dortmund used the chances they had and they better performance during the second half.
However, the red card Nicolas Höfler affected the game.

that right, after Nicolas Hofler got a red card in the second half approaching the final minute gave Mats Hummels a bigger chance and Marco Reus found the net for Freiburg to give Dortmund 2 scores to win. I think if the Freiburg players did not make the mistake that caused Hofler to get a red card, its possible that the score would be a draw at the end of the match because after all, playing with 10 players would be very difficult to defend Freiburg defense.
is like luck for Dortmund to win and get additional points to improve their position in the standings.

Dortmund were so lucky that Freiburg got a red card, cause it gave them a boost and they took advantage of it to win the game,  i think Freiburg were so unfortunate in the match and i think maybe they would had won the match if not for their misfortune, the lucky winners Dortmund needed  win the league to get a boost in the table and though they're currently in the 7th position but they've been unbeaten so far whích is a good record.
 
 Its not easy playing with one man down against a stronger side and I believe that's what made Freiburg to suffer in the 2nd half of the game,  because they were impressive in the 1st half and even had a come back to Hummels goal and end the 1st half of the game with a 2-1 then during 2nd half Dortmund equalized to make it 2-2 then a card was given to Nicolas Hofler which gave them a set back in the match.

Xabi Alonso's has had a positive impact on Bayern Leverkusen and it can be seen that since being coached by Xabi Alonso, Bayern Leverkusen has been able to improve its performance and managed to occupy first place in the standing. Even though it is still a new start for Leverkusen, I hope Leverkusen is able to be consistent and maintain it's position and be able to increase its strength and capable of appearing impressive in the current Bundesliga matchs.

Of course, when facing Heidenheim it will be an easy matchs for Leverkusen because they are playing at home and see that Leverkusen chances are bigger, but in their last match Leverkusen lost to Heidenheim but I think this seasons is different, Leverkusen has experienc a lot of improvement and is believed to be able to win match.

Last season Leipzig competed for the Bundesliga title but unfortunately in the middle of the season they were not very consistent. Talking about top competition, I think it is still too early for Leipzig to be able to match Bayern Munich, even though in recent weeks they have consistently won, but just like last season they will always experience inconsistency.

Maybe it's clear and it seems like you also understand that the top competition will forever belong to Bayern Munich and Dortmund (even though we also know they can only finish in 2nd place in the end). I think on the contrary, as long as a team continues to consistently achieve wins rather than defeats, so far the team will still be good and I think Bayern Munich will be fine this season.

Now regardless of what happened to Dortmund last season, they should try to play better this time, but if you look at the beginning of the season, it is inversely proportional to their performance in the previous season.
Indeed, for the beginning of last season they were also almost the same because in the first 10 matches they could not play well but this means that they have not changed and their performance remains the same as before which makes hope in the Bundesliga competition this time most likely will not be seen again.

As for Leipzig, no matter how bad or good they are at the beginning of the season in the end I still think the top 4 is their place only for the title competition even if they play well they still won't be able to do that now.
