Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Sakanwa]

Seeing the top 4 standings in week 6 is quite surprising because Bayern Munich and Dortmund are in the opposite position. We know that throughout the season these two teams have always competed for places 1 and 2. But it seems that at the start of the season it is still not theirs and for Leverkusen and Stuttgart this is a very good achievement so far. As we know, Leverkusen and Stuttgart are so consistent that they can beat the current dominance of Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the standings. I think if Leverkusen and Stuttgart don't slip up at all until the middle of the season, we will see new competition in the future and that will definitely end our expectations which are always dominated by Bayern Munich and Dortmund every season.

At the season beginning and even before that, people worried that Bayern Munich will dominate Bundesliga after having Harry Kane from Tottenham. So far it did not happen and the ranking is like the past season. Bayern Munich are still struggling to get a first position with other clubs but I am surprising to see Stuttgart in top four. It takes them a long time to come back to top of Bundesliga.

The season is long and Bayern Munich will show their power and domination more with their star players and very deep player resource. They can deal with a long season better than Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Dortmund. I still believe they will win Bundesliga more easily than in the last season with Harry Kane who will play better for the team when he has more real matches with his team mates.

I don't really know where Leverkusen actually got their strength from this season,pushing Bayern, Dortmund and the rest teams down,and climbing that league table.They have shown consistency this season,and I think that is because of the kind of players they signed last season summer transfer window.They signed former Arsenal player Granit Xhaka,who is a born leader,and with his presence at the heart of that midfield,the team have shown that they could stand the test of time,and play consistently.While Bayern Munich signed Kane from Totthenham,and so far,they are still trying everything possible to still be at the top,but this season is definitely going to be more competitive than  last season, therefore,every team must try to be perfect.

[RaltcoinsB]

Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart can't withstand Bundesliga giant in the second leg, because they're not yet ready to keep consistency in winning games. Bundesliga table changing this season, I'm confident it's not yet time for such history to be breaken because these elite competitive clubs can actually bounced back to streak winning ways unlike some random team that's starts the season in good shape, they won't be able to bear the heat when it's been heated up immensely. Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund will returned to their regular domination positions in time, after all there's still a long way go in the league.

It could happen like that, but for now we also have to enjoy the fierce competition at the start of the season in the Bundesliga. I also can't imagine if Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart are able to maintain their dominance consistently enough until the middle of the season, because those two teams could make it difficult for Bayern Munich and Borrussia Dortmund to take first and second place. Although I also don't doubt the strength that Bayern Munich and Borrussia Dortmund have this season to continue to dominate the Bundesliga like last season.

I can't say that for Borussia Dortmund this year. They fell below my expectations in the match they played. I was expecting the impression of a better team, scoring more goals and thinking more about attack, but I was wrong. The only opponent against Bayern will probably be Leverkusen. There may be a championship race between the two this year.

[hahay]

The Champions League it is still quite difficult to see who will emerge as champions because they still have a lot of matches to go through. Currently Bayern Munich is lucky enough to have a sharp striker and if the midfielder is able to provide measured passes it will make it easier for Harry Kane to score goals in every match. This season's Champions League gives greater hope for Bayern Munich and I think it depends on how far they can advance to the quarterfinals.

I think we all know that Kane has only joined Munich for a few matches, he still needs to adapt as do the other players in order to create solidarity between players on the field so that it can make it easier for Kane to score more goals in each match, I think Munich is not in vain spending a lot money to buy Kane from Tottenham to Munich and he has made his contribution to Munich in the last few games.

Kane may not have a future with Tottenham in both the domestic league and UCL, of course this is an opportunity for Kane to show his ability to score goals as a sharp striker for Munich to win the championship title in the Bundesliga and UCL this season. At least Kane can get his first title in Munich this season and I'm sure he wants that.

With Kane in the Bayern Munich squad, there is at least hope for Bayern Munich to have better results in the Champions League. But of course, at this moment, Bayern Munich still have to improve the quality of their performance in the Bundesliga, because up to the sixth week, Bayern Munich is still in third place. Something that may be difficult to accept is that Bayern Munich is below Stuttgart at this moment with one point gap. Therefore, I think Bayern Munich should focus more first on improving their performance in the Bundesliga. Because of course, if Bayern Munich succeeds in improving its quality in the Bundesliga, then that will also have a good impact on Bayern Munich's results in the Champions League.

[Hvdv]

Xabi Alonso seems to be suitable for Madrid and to replace Ancelotti, but it all comes down to Leverkusen and his decision because so far at the start of the Bundesliga season it has been seen that Xabi Alonso's performance as Leverkusen coach can bring Leverkusen to control the top of the Bundesliga standings and eliminate Munich as the defending champion. Even though the offer came to him, it is certain that all fans want Xabi Alonso to win the Bundesliga title this season with Leverkusen.

At least Xabi Alonso, if he really wants to be seen as the best coach, should be able to bring Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title this season. If indeed Xabi Alonso can bring Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title this season, of course Xabi Alonso will definitely be truly worthy of coaching in Madrid and of course that is also to add to experience coaching and playing in other leagues such as Laliga.

If Bayer's fans are so naive that they expect a Bundesliga title this year, then they needn't worry - if Alonso leaves, it won't be until next summer. Bayern are showing dubious results so far, but still their chances are higher than those of other clubs, take a look at the bookmakers’ quotes:

Bayern Munich 1.24

Bayer Leverkusen 9.50

RB Leipzig 11.00

Borussia Dortmund 12.00

Bayern Munich is of course the favorite team. In recent years, no team other than them has won the championship. Borussia Dortmund came very close to this last year, but they could not become champions because they could not win in the last match. When I look at the odds, the odds given for Leverkusen can be played at 100 dollars. They have a good squad and technical team this year. If a team other than Bayern were to become champions, it would probably be Leverkusen.

[QueenVera]

I can't say that for Borussia Dortmund this year. They fell below my expectations in the match they played. I was expecting the impression of a better team, scoring more goals and thinking more about attack, but I was wrong. The only opponent against Bayern will probably be Leverkusen. There may be a championship race between the two this year.

Borussia Dortmund was one of the strongest team last season they almost won the Bundesliga trophy but ended up a runner ups and that should had made them very serious contenders this season but instead they've started with a slow pace, though they're on the right track, they're currently in the 4th position on the table and are still unbeaten, that's why I consider them to be one of the contenders of the league this season, in their last match against Hoffenheim they secured a 1-3 victory even after being booked with a red card, that's to show how good they could be when there players are in a good form.

 Their next game is in the UCL against Acmilan Tomorrow and it's a tough one to decide, even though they're playing in front of their fans with a home advantage because Acmilan are the current leaders of their league and won't be easy on Dortmund.

[YuginKadoya]

Darmstadt was finally rewarded. They had already led against Mönchengladbach in the game before but they managed only a draw. In the match against Werder Bremen they also played with a lot of pressure from the beginning and Werder Bremen had no chance in the first half. They only woke up after the 4:0 in the second half. But that was too late. If they had started playing football earlier the game would probably have ended differently.

For sure I was shocked about Darmstadt at the same time I think I will be following Darmstadt for now to if they can do it again or if they can do it in other teams for sure many were shocked and that includes me aswell for sure Darmstadt have done a remarkable job in getting this win they surely are winning with 4 goals to zero lead, then the Werder eventually got 2 goals for them for sure Darmstadt have let them get those goals because the game is already in their grasp,

I am one of those fans wishing badly for a new champion this season aside Bayern Munich, they have dominated the league for more than a decade winning every single league title and making the other clubs looking mediocre. Last season Dortmund were just 90 minutes away from ending that dominance and just like the other past seasons they fell off. So for this reason I wouldn’t be banking on Dortmund this season but rooting for Bayer Leverkusen.

Why I feel they have all it takes to win the league is that, Bayern aren’t dominating and terrifying as they used to be since last season even though they added some great players to the squad. They are still lacking that playing pattern and it seems Tuchel isn’t get it out from them. Bayer Leverkusen under management of Alonso since arrival in the second half of last season have shown that they can go head to head with just anybody and the acquisition of new players have proven that more this season so I hope they will scoop this tittle

For sure Bayern Munich was surprised by how Leipzig got them and drew the game for this one, Leipzig surely has what it takes even in the recent season Bayern Munich is too early to say they could win this season, for sure as we can see the current standings and the current games that we already had giving my picks of teams that could likely manage to get in the top for sure they are Bayern Munich, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Dortmund, and Stuttgart, for me Harry Kane is still catching up to Bayern Munich gameplay, for sure if Harry Kane gets accustomed to Bayern Munich without any problem Bayern Munich will be the same as a Bayern Munich that likely Robert Lewandowski was in back then,

The season has just started and there are 28 matches to go. The team that is consistent in such a long-term marathon wins the cup. The golden key to Bayern Munich being champions for years is their stability. Stuttgart and Leverkusen started the league very well. What matters is whether they will continue this start or not. If they don't continue, they will look for the opportunity to finish the league in the top four again. I hope they continue it consistently.

No surprise to see bookies gave that small odds for munchen as this club has been winning this league for more than 1 decade. To be honest, if leverkusen has a very big chance of winning the trophy this season. The sense choice to pick bayern as the winner for this season but taking the risk to pick leverkusen was not that bad. The only possible club to recruit alonso was real madrid. I don't see another team who has been declaring their interest to recruit him.

Madrid already listed him as a potential replacement for ancellotti next season but i was not expecting ancellotti to leave from there in winter. He probably stays till end of this season.

It's pretty interesting to wait the performances from those clubs till the middle of this season.

These are not such small odds - last season they were mostly 1.05-1.06 even when everyone saw that Bayern was slipping a lot and was not what it was before.
9.50 is an excellent odds to take a risk, but not in the case of long-term bets - you can wait 15 years for the risk to pay off. Even if you win similar bets after 5 years, it is unlikely to bring joy.
As for Ancelotti, he will work till summer 100%, there is no reason to change him in the middle of the season, his replacement is just part of the renewal strategy for Real, so this will be done in the normal manner.

 Their next game is in the UCL against Acmilan Tomorrow and it's a tough one to decide, even though they're playing in front of their fans with a home advantage because Acmilan are the current leaders of their league and won't be easy on Dortmund.

From my calculations it is almost the same as you @RaltcoinsB, but it seems I was wrong today with the match hosted by Borussia Dortmund who started this season with results that did not meet most people's expectations, I think that Bayern Leverkusen is developing more rapidly than Dortmund which making it superior to the others, from the performance of the match and the temporary results obtained today for Bayern Munich and Dortmund, I also think that Dortmund is a worthy competitor for Bayern Munich because the current standings of these two teams say that.

We already know that Dortmund is in a pretty scary group in the UCL, for the match with AC Milan I also can't decide that Dortmund is able to beat AC Milan easily, because AC Milan is not a small team, they can win if they know where their weaknesses are. and get good luck.

[Weawant]

I don't really know where Leverkusen actually got their strength from this season,pushing Bayern, Dortmund and the rest teams down,and climbing that league table.They have shown consistency this season,and I think that is because of the kind of players they signed last season summer transfer window.They signed former Arsenal player Granit Xhaka,who is a born leader,and with his presence at the heart of that midfield,the team have shown that they could stand the test of time,and play consistently.While Bayern Munich signed Kane from Totthenham,and so far,they are still trying everything possible to still be at the top,but this season is definitely going to be more competitive than  last season, therefore,every team must try to be perfect.

The German bundesliga Is really becoming very competitive than ever before as can be seen by the movement of various teams gaining and dropping points on the standings, most teams be really working so hard to get to the top of the standings and secure a safe position such that even if they will not finish as champions of the league but they can finish amongst the top five teams so as to still maintain some relevance in the league.

Leverkusen has become a very strong and formidable force in the Germans bundesliga most recently, it could be said that the team had the best of transfer as they bought players who have performed really well and the change of coach, all this can be said to be a very good move made by the management of the teams as it's really paying off and desired results are been gotten.

Bayern Munich is indeed trying so hard to stay at the top of the standings but they are just a few points away and there are chances they could still get up there but then never to undermine the fact that Leverkusen will stop at nothing to maintain the top spot as they are as well  a very strong team good enough to contend to be the champions of the league, I think it will definitely be between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich this season.

Although Dortmund seems to have a bit more advantage since they will be playing in Germany, Milan is not a bad team at all. It was last year's semi-finalist team. They lost the chance to reach the final against Inter. I don't know how they will play this year. Milan - Dortmund match looks like it will be balanced.

[beerlover]

There is still a long time until the match, but I think Stuttgart will continue its good performance. I think I won't be wrong because they played very good matches and started the league very well. If Wolfsburg can participate in the match, it will be very good for them.

It seems true. Having some great players made stuttgart has bigger chance to stay at the top 10. The things may change if stuttgart will be selling some of its players like guarrasy in the winter transfer season.
The competition is very hard to predict now as there are some new clubs placed at the top positions this season.

It looked so crazy to see how a team like stuttgart was sitting at the secondf place right now. I don't care so much about how many goals being made by guarrasy as long as the result was on the table was good and it does not really matter in terms of anything else.
Securing three points are the main target from stuttgart. Hopefully, stuttgart can keep up with its good performance till the end of season.
It's good stutgart was finally reaching this level. Things are not going to get easier from here for stuttgart.

This is why transfer season matters a lot, tons of people do not end up getting good teams and a lot of teams do not end up with a good player neither. Stuttgart managed to spend just enough money to build a team that is entertaining to watch and get decent results.

I agree that they are going to do fine and it won't be having any type of trouble at all. The only issue they have right now will be the fact that they are not going to end up with a result that will be all that hard, we are going to end up with a result that should be seeing all those players ending up with some transfers to bigger clubs next season.

[borovichok]

Although Dortmund seems to have a bit more advantage since they will be playing in Germany, Milan is not a bad team at all. It was last year's semi-finalist team. They lost the chance to reach the final against Inter. I don't know how they will play this year. Milan - Dortmund match looks like it will be balanced.

We can not predict the possible outcome of the game because this is UEFA Champions League were average clubs becomes fierce and strong against elite clubs. Edin Terzic is yet to accumulate any points in UCL but looking towards his second game would give supporters hope because it's home advantage for Dortmund. Perhaps AC Milan have brilliant players who are keen on meeting difficult tasks this season. Borrusia Dortmund in trouble as they lost their first UCL game to Paris Saint-Germain. It's a must win game for them at Signal-Iduna-Park against AC Milan.

If they don't continue, they will look for the opportunity to finish the league in the top four again. I hope they continue it consistently.

My prediction is that Stuttgart who have started well will continue in this fine form just like we had surprise packages like Union Berlin last season. They could gather points to finish in the top four and qualify for the champions league. But as for the league tittle I don’t see them fighting for that because of their squad depth. They don’t have enough players on bench to influence any game when they come on.

My surprise pick to challenge for the title against Bayern Munich will be Bayer Leverkusen because they have what it take to win this title due to how they finish last season and the players they’ve added this summer

[AakZaki]

Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart can't withstand Bundesliga giant in the second leg, because they're not yet ready to keep consistency in winning games. Bundesliga table changing this season, I'm confident it's not yet time for such history to be breaken because these elite competitive clubs can actually bounced back to streak winning ways unlike some random team that's starts the season in good shape, they won't be able to bear the heat when it's been heated up immensely. Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund will returned to their regular domination positions in time, after all there's still a long way go in the league.

So far, I have seen trends in some European leagues like this. There are always surprises on teams that were not very good last season to top the provisional class. But in the end they were unable to maintain the stability of the team. So that they decrease and disappear from above. Leverkusen are indeed quite good, they are rising gradually with Xabi Alonso. For Stuttgart this is surprising, indeed they were once a great club. But in some periods they were even close to relegation.

[Lafu]

I can't say that for Borussia Dortmund this year. They fell below my expectations in the match they played. I was expecting the impression of a better team, scoring more goals and thinking more about attack, but I was wrong. The only opponent against Bayern will probably be Leverkusen. There may be a championship race between the two this year.

For sure they are behind my and i guess anybodys expectations from there playing that they can.
But i think that Dortmund can be still count for an race between the other teams like Bayern Munich and Leverkusen for title.
Maybe there are mor teams coming into that race like Stuttgart and maybe Leipzig.
In the whole Dortmund isnt that bad and they got a few times unlucky only.

[Rengga Jati]

-snip-

So far they're the only team that's pressured Bayern Munich this season and it now looks like they know the secret of beating them but luckily for Bayern they escaped today's defeat, Bayern dominated the game most times but were so unlucky with their finishing but I love how the players of Leipzig were so composed and scored early goals that would that made Bayern got their first defeat in the Bundesliga this season.

We can say that's the fact. It cannot be denied that Leipzig and Leverkusen are tough enough to be Bayern's opponents. Leipzig, they have been opponents of Bayern several times which is quite worthy of consideration, moreover they also have good experience in the UEFA league, so at least, the players' mentality is quite tough. Leverkusen, this season is really on the rise, their competence has really improved and is consistent. They were also able to hold Bayern to a draw at that time. However, they also have to prove themselves in other matches because sometimes, playing well and consistently is difficult at certain moments.

I think nobody could ever predict to see Stuttgart at this place. Because compared to other teams like Dortmund and especially compared to Bayern Munich Stuttgart is not a strong team and they didn't buy players this season. Also, Stuttgart didn't have a high amount of investment. I think Stuttgart doesn't have enough potential and they will lose this place sooner or later in this season.

[Marvell1]

Although Bayer Leverkusen has been leading this season, I can't say or believe that they will win the league. Everyone wants to see a team surpass Bayern Munich's records, which have stood for more than ten years, but it's very difficult to do. As you mentioned, Dortmund tried to do this in their final game of the previous season, but Munich ultimately came up and won the league. Even though Stuttgart is already in the top 2, their performances this season have really taken me by surprise, it will be difficult to predict for the time being whether Leverkusen will stay at the top to win the league. Leverkusen is currently leading Bayern Munich by just two points, and while I do not believe that Leverkusen will be able to win every game they play until the end of the season, I am still unsure that Bayern Munich will win the league at any point this season. They are not as weak as people may perceive them to be based on their performances.

It's still too early to predict who will win the Bundesliga title this season, but as usual I think Bayern Munich is the favorite team to defend its title every season. Leverkusen are a few points ahead of Bayern Munich at the moment, but I really struggle to expect them to be consistent and not drop points even for the first half of the season.
Bayern Munich certainly had competition at the start of this season in the league standings, but I don't doubt them any more than I doubt Leverkusen and Stuttgart. I believe Leverkusen will decline slowly, but they have hopes of leading the standings for the next few games.

In the Bundesliga almost every season we see several teams competing for the title at the beginning of the season. But in the end the teams cannot survive in the competition. Last season we saw Union Berlin at the top of the table for a long time. Besides, the Dortmund team also tried till the end of the season to win the title. However, at the end of the season, we saw the Bayern Munich team become champions.

Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig are doing very well this season. But I have considerable doubts about whether the parties will be able to maintain consistency. It is very difficult for these groups to maintain consistency. But I guess the Leverkusen team will fight hard for the title this year with Bayern Munich.

ShowOff, I will say that if they are able to perform well continuously till the 25th match, and if they are also able to stay in the first three positions consistently, they will probably give a good fight to Bayern Munich for the title. And it is still definitely very early to say what is going to happen at the end of the season. But I believe they will be able to finish in the top four easily. Unless something really bad happens. Something like they fall into a big problem of injuries or something like that. Otherwise, I see them performing consistently.

Of course, the rivalry between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund has continued but the two clubs are not the strongest subject of view for now though they will still find their way to the top as they always do. They play almost the same way now, and as you had said, it's too early to pass a good judgement on what they could eventually end with. Still, the 25th match might be too long to pass judgment as the club that didn't perform well in the Bundesliga to that extent might not be able to find their firm feet anymore. Bayern, in particular, should get more serious, too much drawing might cost them a lot, while my doubts on Dortmund is minimal, yet they should still maintain a top level so that it wouldn't be a hard task when the pressure is becoming high.
