Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[fzkto]

I saw Leverkusen's performance since the second half of last season when Alonso managed it and it was quite good and consistent, so it is possible that this season they can disrupt the dominance of Bayern and Dortund at the top of the Bundesliga standings in the competition for the title this season.
Indeed, consistency has often been a problem for Bundesliga teams since the last few seasons, but I think Leverkusen has everything this season to be able to maintain their performance and make Bundesliga competition even fiercer this season.

Bayer Leverkusen will continue to be enthusiastic about erasing Bayern Munich's dominance this season by continuing to create consistency in every match in the Bundesliga. Apart from that, Bayer Leverkusen will also fight hard in the Europa League this season for the title because with the strength they have this season, Leverkusen should take advantage of every match in important competitions such as the Bundesliga and the Europa League.

I'm sure they do, and it's a priority that I think is in the same priority. Leverkusen were outstanding after Xabi Alonso joined, he knew exactly what he had to do to make Leverkusen better and I think he did that.
They haven't lost a game yet, either in the Bundesliga or the Europa League. They also have a good balance between the front line and the back line. Yes their forward line can be productive and their back line is hard to break down.
They are in a good situation and they now have a breath of fresh air to stop Bayern Munich's dominance, they just need to be consistent till the end.

Xabi Alonso made great touches to the team. It was as if Leverkusen became a separate team. Leverkusen is one of the best teams in the Bundesliga and Bayern can now see them as a threat. It seems that Xabi and his students will work harder to break Bayern Munich's championship record this year.

Bayer Leverkusen are really making excellent success early this season, but what is surprising is that Stuttgart also have seven wins in eight games. This Bundesliga season so far the other leaders, not as it was usually Bayern and Dortmund.

I think if Manuel Neuer is not fully fit, it's best not to push the situation too much. However, Bayern Munich are currently in a bad position, so if they lose, it will certainly make their job even harder. Damstadt is a weak team but they definitely know that Bayern Munich don't have a good enough goalkeeper so they will look for opportunities to score goals in the match.

On the other hand, perhaps Damstadt's toughest job is how they can stop every attack from Bayern Munich which is very deadly. So I think even though Bayern Munich will still entrust goalkeeping to Sven Ulrich, I don't think that will be a problem and they will still win because they have a strong defense apart from the attack I said earlier.

I agree with your opinion. There is no need to push their luck with putting Neuer in the starting eleven right away. Because I don't see a big problem for Bayern Munich in terms of conceding goals this season. I must admit that I didn't expect even Ulreich to be made their main goalkeeper. I thought they would sign a new solid goalkeeper instead.

However it didn't happen. But I don't think they are regretful about it at all. Because Ulreich has been really successful so far. For example I really liked a save of him against Galatasaray as the volley was directed towards the corner.

The situation faced by Bayern Munich is due to their own fault. We know that they actually still have enough time to recruit a new, more experienced goalkeeper as a temporary replacement for Manuel Neuer and last summer they failed to get that goalkeeper. I understand that Bayern Munich was targeting Kepa at that time but Kepa preferred to go to Real Madrid even if only on loan.

Now who will Bayern Munich blame for their current situation if not themselves, right? On the other hand, I don't know why Bayern Munich doesn't want to just bring in De Gea, who is currently a free agent, at least he is a good goalkeeper who is experienced and ready to be brought in at any time.

Although De Gea is a free agent, Bayern Munich may not be thinking about him the way we think about him, which is why Bayern Munich are not interested in signing the Spanish goalkeeper. Although Bayern Munich are in a goalkeeper crisis, they may be looking to sign a goalkeeper in the long term, which is why they are looking for a relatively young goalkeeper. De Gea is a 32-year-old goalkeeper and he is now free, age was not a big factor for Bayern Munich if he was a good performer. De Gea's performance is not enough to compete with all the teams that are in the Champions League, which is probably why Bayern Munich are not taking him to the club.

Union Berlin can probably concentrate more about the Bundesliga soon. Due to the defeat against Napoli, they will probably not reach the next round in the Champions League. As I have already written here, it will also be more difficult for the team to deal with the whole situation. David Fofana was substituted and refused to shake hands with the coach. These are the first signs that nerves are torn.

[Velvet78]

Neuer might be able to return after his injury by the Darmstadt game finally. It is still not clear though but he is expected to be in the starting eleven in a short time after his return. Ulreich has already stated it clearly that his role in the team is clear and he has no problems on continuing as Neuer's substitute.

I wouldn't have expected the opposite from Ulreich either. In the end he has always been a backup goalkeeper for Bayern Munich. But I must admit that his performance so far has really been mesmerizing. We might still see Ulreich in the starting eleven for a couple of more games after Neuer returns. Because Neuer would need some time to be fit enough.

Ulreich is doing good currently but the turn of Manuel Neuer would give a very big boost to the Bayern Munich squad and I'm pretty sure alot of their first team players would be very happy to welcome him back into the squad,well it's a good thing Ulreich already knows his stands in the club, cause Neuer would work into the the starting 11 and bench for him probably for a long while, therefore Ulreich should enjoy his moments until Neuer fully returns.

 Well this is a good news for Bayern Munich cause i heard a news that they might be looking to sign another keeper, however they won't waste any funds to go for another when they got a very good keeper that would  be returning soon to the team, well I think Ulreich won't be left out completely cause there are some matches in other competitions that he could participate in.

Neuer's recovery is happening too slowly, much longer than expected, but there is definitely no need to rush. I assume that’s why Sommer left, because he understood that he would lose places in the team as soon as Neuer returned, and he didn’t want to sit on the bench. Ulreich has always had very little playing experience, perhaps he will need some time to reach a new level, now is his chance, he will either do it or remain number two forever.

Losing the main goalkeeper is still a problem for Bayern Munich, but it is not a serious problem because the substitutes in the squad can still fill the void left. Yes you're right, Neuer's recovery is taking longer and it's not coming back as quickly as expected. Bringing and making him the main goalkeeper is quite risky in my opinion, because maybe he will need more adaptation time to restore his lost performance because he had to be sidelined due to injury.  Bayern Munich do not have to rush into this, because they still have players who can close the gap.

Because Neuer would need some time to be fit enough.

The only thing I can imagine is that Neuer will be substituted just before the end of the game. Or when Bayern Munich is leading 4:0. But I think Neuer is more likely to play from the start.

Sven Ulreich has shown that he is a good backup goalkeeper. That was clear to him since he signed for Bayern Munich in 2015. He has come to terms with this role. And he has shown that they can rely on him.

[Hirose UK]

There are many rumors circulating about Alphonso Davies player in the defender position owned by Bayern Munich asking or demanding from management for an increase in his salary but Bayern Munich has not received or provided clarity on this issue.
And of course the case of salary demands requested by players from Bayern Munich is also not the first time that Alphonso Davies has done this because previously there were David Alaba and Toni Kroos but Bayern Munich rejected them until they decided to move to Real Madrid.

If Alphonso Davies does not receive the salary increase he is asking for, perhaps this will be the third time Bayern Munich has lost player because Alphonso Davies is linked with move to Real Madrid squad if he does not get a salary increase.

This is still just a rumor and has not been discussed more accurately.

Defeats in a row and for the third time meant that they no longer had a chance to qualify for Group C of the UCL this season, but even if they managed to get UCL tickets this season, they are already considered a great club, because not all great clubs can easily get UCL tickets here. In some leagues, many great clubs don't enter the UCL. I think it's true that Union Berlin should focus on the domestic league because securing its position is very important.

Union Berlin looks bad this season, even in the Bundesliga they lost five times in a row and it would really be very bad if they don't recover from their downturn and that will make them fall to the bottom of the standings and approach the relegation zone, which is definitely very dangerous.

Xabi Alonso made great touches to the team. It was as if Leverkusen became a separate team. Leverkusen is one of the best teams in the Bundesliga and Bayern can now see them as a threat. It seems that Xabi and his students will work harder to break Bayern Munich's championship record this year.

It would be amazing to see that this season if Xabi Alonso is really able to do it this season, because the competition will be even tighter and fiercer in the Bundesliga this season. And this has also been seen in the eight matches at the start of the season with very close points between the four teams in the UCL zone this season. So Bayern Munich will probably have a tougher season to win the Bundesliga trophy even though last season Bayern Munich again benefited from this.

Neuer will be also making his comeback after he has been absent for so many months. I hope that with the comeback of neuer will able to make bayern to play even better than before.

That news has reported that if neuer may comeback very soon and start his first match with bayern after he got serious injury last year.

I think this is a really good news for anyone to see how good neuer is as a goal keeper. he was in the same level as petr cech from chelsea.
Having him will able to make sure if the goal net of bayern will be save from any threats that would come from its competitors.

I can't really wait to see he will be trying to start his debut again. This will become the most anticipated comeback for all of bayern fans.

I won't be safe rushing a player who has spent a long time away due to Injury back into the squad too fast. Besides, he is already getting age and he would get Injury prone if it results to that.
Bayern Munich already has a player in goal that gives the club his best at his best and worst, it's time they focus on promoting a world class number one to replace Neuer.

I'd love to see him returning but forcing him into the line up after this recovery stage is too fast I'm my own opinion. He and Peter Cech has made history for them various clubs.

I don't know what makes Union Berlin so very different this season compared to last season and unfortunately, the difference is not leading to good things but actually the opposite and it is almost the same as what happened to Schalke in 2017-2018 season, they managed to perform well but the following season they always struggled in the relegation zone, until finally the 2020-2021 season was relegated.
In contrast to Stuttgart, whose last season was very bad, only managed to survive the relegation play-offs, and this season they are a pretty good team, and maybe next season Stuttgart will be like Union Berlin in terms of fate, and only teams like Bayern Munich, Dortmund will be consistent enough in the Bundesliga game. Even though does not appear dominant, its appearance is not much different in each season

Neuer has just returned to training with the team. I think the coach can give him a few more weeks to really make adjustments. however, Neuer is also a good player and still plays for Munich. He was out for quite a long time, so he had to make some adjustments to be able to return to the squad.

maybe this will be bad news for Ulreich. but he has carried out his duties well. He will definitely still get the opportunity to play in several matches. Tuchel certainly won't let him continue on the bench.

[bct_ail]

They have brought the problems to themselves. In the past they brought in players from abroad who were not so well-known or players from other German clubs who did not play so much there. Then they developed these players and with this philosophy they were able to integrate the new players into the club. This summer, however, they brought in experienced players like Robin Gosens, Leonardo Bonucci, Kevin Volland or David Fofana. Some of these players are at the end of their careers and have changed the philosophy. It is no longer a unit that has grown.

These are the first signs that nerves are torn.

It is possible that this is the cycle that Union Berlin will face because getting through to the next round of the Champions League is already impossible so they no longer have the opportunity to do so. Concentrating again on getting the best results in the Bundesliga is something they must do because it is impossible for them to continue to stay at the bottom of the table and even get closer to the relegation zone this season. I quite regret their performance this season, even though last season they were quite strong and managed to get rid of several top 4 teams.

[swogerino]

Dortmund is surprising me the more time passes,I thought they would never recover from that lost title last season in the last game when they could not win it at home.Now though they have been doing really well in the Bundesliga and yesterday night I choose to watch Newcastle vs Dortmund game as for me it was the most beautiful to watch from the Champions games,it turned out to be really intense and beautiful,Dortmund after scoring got back in defense but when they were in counterattack they had a lot of missed chances to end the game even more than 0-1 which they won and now are in the fight again not only on Bundesliga,also in the Champions League.

We are only seeing the start of his career as a manager, I think he will be a better manager than him as a player, which is saying something because he was a great player. Dude just started to show the world how great he is with Leverkusen, I think he will manage one higher level, like maybe Dortmund, or Chelsea seems to be doing badly so there maybe, or even United, basically a place that has money but no success could be a good place to start.

Then I believe in 10 years or so, eh will be managing one of the best teams in the world, maybe not the best but one of the best, who knows which team that would be but I feel like that is the possibility. Dude is good enough for any team but needs to gain experience.

Read the latest news and neuer will be coming back as soon as possible. There's no doubt to see him back again as a starting line up. The current goal keeper was so bad but we shall not feel worry as neuer is fully ready to protect bayern's goal net again.
Having neuer will be also strentgthening the defensive line of bayern. neuer has been known as a goalkeeper with a bunch of experiences. He had been playing with bayern even since the match between bayern vs chelsea.

We will not feel worry again when neuer has become the main goal keeper of bayern. he was as good as some old goal keeper like casiles or even cech. There's no need to feel worry and i think bayernw ill be conceded less goal after neuer will be taking over the spot to become bayern's goal keeper. Let's see how good his comeback after he was not playing for so many months.

I quite regret their performance this season, even though last season they were quite strong and managed to get rid of several top 4 teams.

In the Champions League, I think Union Berlin is finished, because their chances of qualifying are very impossible. In fact, they also had difficulty finishing in third place in Group C and continuing their journey in the European League. It would be wise for Union to choose to shift their focus to the Bundesliga, and improve the situation slowly, the UCL is still quite difficult for them. Their performance is very different from last season, where they managed to finish in fourth place in the Bundesliga and scored 62 points. In the eight matches they have played this season, they have only managed to achieve two consecutive wins at the start and the remaining six matches have been lost in a row.

But on the other hand, I admire Union Berlin who have succeeded in realizing their dream of competing in the highest caste of European football. Having the status of a small club but always fully supported by its sportsmen with a close sense of family, even though their favorite club experienced consecutive defeats, they did not leave the field before the match ended.

I have no doubt at all that Neuer is the best goalkeeper ever, but then again usually when a player comes back from a long injury he needs time to adapt again to get his game back. I don't know what will happen to Neuer after he returns, and I hope he can quickly find his form just like before he was injured.
I'd say it's a risk if he comes back, because there are many goalkeepers who decline after an injury and have to take a long break.
His association with Bayern Munich has been very long, and that will help him to find his form again because the chemistry I'm sure will not be lost, it just takes a little adjustment.

Some of these players are at the end of their careers and have changed the philosophy. It is no longer a unit that has grown.

It is a pity if Union Berlin changes its philosophy like that, because it makes Union Berlin this season get bad results in all competitions. Whereas usually, when a team brings in experienced players, then at least such a squad still has the ability and a good chance to be able to make the team get good results. But yeah, it doesn't seem to apply and/or not work well on Union Berlin, because Union Berlin in this season experienced a very severe decline I think, and it looks like it will be difficult to recover in the near future too.
