Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Leviathan.007]

The stake odds for this game are 2.55 for Union Berlin, 2.95 for a draw, and 2.75 for Frankfurt, Rani Khedira has a red card and can not play 3 games, David Datro Fofana is suspended for 2 games, and Alexander Schwolow has hip injury Janik Haberer has an illness, Danilho Doekhi has to knock injury, Josip Juranovic has a muscles injury, and András Schäfer has a foot injury, while Robin Koch a back injury, Willian Pacho, has a hip injury, Sebastian Rode has a calf injury, Simon Simoni has an elbow injury, and Mehdi Loune has an ACL injury, for this game, I think that this is going to be a draw game so I will bet on a draw,

Just considering the injured players, so you choose bet on draw? quite surprising for me, but I hope you win with the draw results. Although to be honest I have another opinion, because Union Berlin in last few of matches have been very disappointing. They are trapped in the relegation zone, and are having difficulty getting out of in that zone with a series of consecutive defeats.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt so far has a better record than Union Berlin in standings, also based on Frankfurt head to head statistics it is also not too bad, so there is a possibility that in this match Frankfurt can steal 3 points.

I think drawing is not a good idea for Union Berlin and Frankfurt, They both need to get the full three points in this match, especially Union Berlin, because right now they are on the bottom side of the table and Union Berlin should get out of the danger zone. I think Union Berlin should play attacking style but considering the performance we saw from this team in the past, Frankfurt has a higher chance in this match.

Bundesliga is on fire this season, it will require the best competitive team to win the championship. Shocking stats from Leverkusen as they're exceptionally incredible in games this current season. One of the ways to enchanced a team is appointing a competitive coach that has  solid vision for his team. Bayer Leverkusen appointed Xabi Alonso and he's doing quite incredible for the team. Bayer Leverkusen unbeaten in 9 league games played this season, keeping them first on Bundesliga table this season. Leverkusen faces Hoffenheim next, let's see where Leverkusen will go from here.

The current competitive actions in the Bundesliga has been the spice the league needed all along to get more attention because we were almost getting used to having a particular team go home with the trophy almost every season but it looking different now.

The rise of Bayern Leverkusen and the form other top four teams are exhibiting currently is one which is really going to get Bayern Munich to sit up asa new champion is about to emerge if the slack at any point and I must say I'm enjoying this current trend in the bundesliga, soon it will be a race of which the former big teams will have to battle fiercely with the emerging big team, this was seen in the match between Leverkusen and Munich earlier of which Leverkusen showed a new level of strength against Munich.

The kind of strong competition in the German Bundesliga this season is what we've never seen in the league for the past 11 seasons that Bayern Munich has consecutively won and I think it's very good development for fans of the German League.
Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart had joined the traditional competitor Borussia Dortmund to give current champions a good run for their money and if Bayern Munich fails to continue delivering good results at any point this season, they're very likely to finish the season without the league title. Bayern knows it's not business as usual and must prove themselves to be strong enough for strong competitions

[TelolettOm]

This week there is a big game and from now on it seems we have to start discussing it. Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, the two big Bundesliga clubs which every season always compete in the title race will start their first big match for this season and as we know both Dortmund and Bayern Munich are not in their best place. Currently Bayern Munich is still behind Leverkusen and Dortmund is also still behind Stuttgart in the standings. I think that through this match both teams will have the same opportunity to get the best place and even then they have to fight each other to get full points in this match.

This will be a tough match because both teams are in a good form. In the last 5 matches, both Bayern Munich and Dortmund is unbeatable. If both teams can play with their best performance, the match can end up with a draw result. Of course Bayern Munich has a better squad quality, but we can't underestimate Dortmund, especially when they play at home. They also need points to keep their hope for competing the title. So, the result of the match is difficult to predict. But personally, I think a draw is a fair result for both teams.

After the game between Bayern Munich and Saarbrücken, everything is now worse in Bayern Munich because of losing this game. Saarbrücken is not a strong team to stand against teams like Bayern Munich that's why Tuchel is under pressure after this result.
The relationship between some Bayern Munich players and Tuchel is not good and it seems some players in Bayern Munich don't feel useful in Bayern Munich anymore.

Bayern Munich still maintains levels in all rounds. This is not the first time such incident is been carried out. Bayern Munich are popularly known to compete against elite teams and underperformed against average teams and possibly lose points against these average teams. We know exactly know what's wrong with the Bavarians, they keep underestimating average teams and having little or fewer focused on these teams. Bayern Munich knockout of the DFB Pokal tournament after a shocking defeat from Saarbrücken which are not even up to the standard of Bayern Munich.

[Tony116]

So who do you think will win in this big match? For me, maybe Bayern Munich will win again, but only by a narrow score.

With the Bayern Munich last match against FC Saarbrücken the way it went through I beginning to doubt their win between then and Dortmund, which Dortmund are the one hosting the match and the two teams really need this win to get the best place for now since Leverkusen had occupied the first place with only two points ahead the second place and Bayern Munich will like to maintain the stand while Dortmund will like to end the history of Bayern Munich unbeaten, this match is going to be a tough one.

Bayern Munich will not repeat the same  mistake. Munich's defeat a gainst the Saarbrücken team was just an accident. An  unexpected defeat was for Munich. Although Munich lost, their  performance in this match was  not too bad. Moreover, the match was not important for  Munich. Bayern Munich will need to earn full points against  Dortmund if they want to retain the top spot in the Bundesliga. Bayern  Munich are now 2 points behind  of Leverkusen. Bayern Munich  is doing its best  to reduce this gap. Munich have a good past record against Dortmund. Still, Dortmund are a strong team. The match is also l ikely to be a draw. However, I expect Bayern Munich to win this match. I think Bayern Munich players will make no mistake in this match and get 3 points.

Now  Bayern Munich was unable to win in the last match. And I am also pretty sure that people around the world had made sure that they had enough of it. And yes, I also agree that this was an accident and it is probably not going to happen again any time soon. they will be playing against Dortmund in the next match. I don't think they are going to lose. To be honest, the bigger argument is, that I don't think Dortmund will be able to win. Even though the performance is a little stable from them right now.

[bering]

Union Berlin home matches records was very poor that they have lose 5 times in a row during this season at home in all competitions and they only can able to scores 2 goals from those matches and their opponent Frankfurt was much better than them because from 4 latest matches Frankfurt still unbeaten and gets 3 wins and last week Frankfurt has been showing impressive performance by stole point from Dortmund

About squad condition of Union Berlin Rani Khedira is suspended for three games and Josip Juranovic still doubtful to play and for Frankfurt William Joel Pacho Tenorio and Mario Gotze probably will not into the squad and according to the odds Union Berlin is the favourite but i am quite doubt they will be able to overcomes Frankfurt even i think Frankfurt had good chances to win the match and collect 3 points and Frankfurt has odds @2.85

Let's just look realistically at the strengths of the two teams, regardless of what Bayern Munich did in their last match when they suffered a painful defeat until they were eliminated from the DFB Pokat because they lost to a 3rd division team.
In terms of team strength, of course Bayern Munich is stronger than Dortmund, but it cannot be denied that the matches between these two teams are always fierce because both are top teams in the Bundesliga, and Bayern Munich has huge motivation, of course after they are eliminated from the DFB Pokat, they will focused on being able to defend the Bundesliga title this season.

If the Bundesliga is no longer labeled as the "Farmers' League", then Dortmund must achieve victory, but it is clear that this is not an easy matter. But forcing Munchen to share the points will be enough if Dortmund is successful, considering that Tuchel squad will act as the visiting team, this seems to be possible. Laverkusen managed to hold the defending champions to a draw in the fourth week, if Edin Terzic squad can do this it will create even fiercer competition in the top four of the standings.

This match will test the strength of both clubs to remain undefeated and continue their respective positive trends. I understand that Munchen has forgotten the embarrassing defeat in the DFB Pokal yesterday, and in this match they are still superior. On the other hand Xabi squad is going to Hoffenheim, I don't expect them to drop points.

Farmers league, lol.
I think Bayern, after losing in the cup, is more dangerous now cause they know they have to deliver against Dortmund, otherwise there will be even more trouble.
And Dortmund, they will try to give their best but in the end it won't be enough I fear. Hopefully I am wrong but I have a bad feeling about this game. In the Bundesliga Dortmund hasn't played against 1 single strong team yet, that's why they are unbeaten. But in many games they had problems scoring a goad, and they played almost all the teams of the bottom 6 already.
If they have a good day they can beat Bayern but I think it's more likely to see a 1:1 / 2:2 or a close Bayern win.

Both will definitely play quite competitively and want to lead the top of the Bundes league standings, both Bayern Munich and Dortmund, both are in pretty good form, I think it's wrong to say their performance is not okay, but overall in their last five matches it shows that they are in good condition.

Dortmund will be more ambitious because of the dissatisfaction of last week's match, Dortmund played with a draw against Eintracht Frankfrut with a score of 3-3, surely the enthusiasm that Dortmund has is excited especially playing at home. I think the Iduna Park stadium will be filled with militant Dortmund fans who always accompany Dortmund like last season, this is a big match and this match can be said to be a match of prestige in the bundes league, the atmosphere of last season's competition is not over, this will be an interesting match because both teams have improved this season, although in the standings they did not get the best position.

So, the result of the match is difficult to predict. But personally, I think a draw is a fair result for both teams.

A draw is still possible but it feels like it is a result that will definitely not be accepted by both teams. I think if Dortmund can put pressure on Bayern Munich from the start and often threaten Bayern Munich's goal, it's possible they can take the lead first. But that won't last long for Dortmund because we know that Bayern Munich has a more solid squad for this season, especially since the arrival of striker Harry Kane, who is very hungry for goals, will definitely be ready to score in this match.

It is likely that Harry Kane will at least score a brace in this match and for Dortmund perhaps they will continue to rely on Sebastien Haller to score goals. Home advantage cannot guarantee that Dortmund can win and it can be seen from previous meetings at Dortmund's home ground that they always lost against Bayern Munich. This match is quite difficult to predict and we'll just have to wait and see who will get the 3 points.

Neuer returned to the team in time, since Ulreich fell ill and missed today's match. But I think that Neuer will need some time to return to his previous form, long breaks always affect a player. Both teams have a good attack, so I think that both teams will score and it will be TO 3. I don’t know who will win, but I expect an interesting match and a lot of goals, and I’m probably more inclined to think that Bayern will win. Dortmund have a long unbeaten run and Bayern are the team that can break it.

The relationship between some Bayern Munich players and Tuchel is not good and it seems some players in Bayern Munich don't feel useful in Bayern Munich anymore.

where did you get this news? Or is this just your personal opinion? This defeat was indeed difficult to accept because the team that beat them played in Division 3, where people would definitely judge the quality of the players to be quite different but it is not impossible for any club to beat Bayern Munich, and I think this defeat will not affect Tuchel squad so far, because in the Bundesliga they still performed very impressively, maybe Tuchel implemented the wrong strategy in this match so he didn't anticipate that his opponent could beat them but it could be because they will only focus on the Bundesliga and the champions league, but this is just my opinion because of course a team like Bayern Munich will try to get as many trophies as possible every season so there is no such thing as sacrificing other competitions just because they want to focus on other competitions.
And now they have to forget about this defeat to focus on the match against Dortmund, this is very important because winning over Dortmund could reduce competition in the standings because the point difference will be further between their competitors.

Maybe I'm not the only one who feels the Bundesliga is boring because there is only one winner, not two or three seasons, but it a decade since Munchen won the trophy. Regarding Dortmund chances of beating Munchen, it is very difficult, but they are at an advantage because they act as hosts. Their performance is also stable and are unbeaten in the 9 matches they have played. So I think that even though on paper Tuchel squad has all the attributes to win, it is not impossible that a surprise could happen.

I want to see Munchen stumble, by sharing points in this match. Actually, I want to see tight competition in the top four of the standings, which is better than previous seasons. so that the Bundesliga becomes more interesting and gets more attention.

Now  Bayern Munich was unable to win in the last match. And I am also pretty sure that people around the world had made sure that they had enough of it.

It seems like Bayern Munich doesn't really care about the DFB Pokal tournament because they focus on the match in the Bundesliga and also in the Champions League, Tuchel did not rely on some of his talented player in thats match. I think by relying on several other player, Bayern Munich is quite strongs, but in fact Bayern Munich suffered a big defeat it's quite embarrassing because Bayern Munich was beaten by an division 3 club.

and in the match against Dortmund, I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will be serious in that match even though Dortmund is a tough club, but looking at the statistical data, Dortmund is not strong enough Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

[shogun47]

I think they should be an easy win for Bayern Munich. There is no reason for them to end up losing. If we look at the last 5 head to head matches between these two teams we will see that Bayern Munich has been the team to win 4 out of the matches and the other one was a draw. So I think Bayern Munich is going to go into this match being very confident. But at the same time, Dortmund should be very determined to win this match because of what happened in the last season. If that does not get the blood boiling for them, I don't know what will.

Head to head is good for determining who has been the better team for a certain period of time, but it is weak in giving you information about the status quo. Leaving this aside, I wonder how many head to head statistics there are that suggest that Bayern should not win a game against any of the opponents in the Bundesliga. When Bayern lost a match in early 2023 against Leverkusen, before that they also lost none of the 7 games before that and won 6 of them. It is really no good precursor to draw on for any predictions.

But the interval of match is also affecting how strong the head to head can also help us in predicting the outcome from the upcoming match. You can imagine when you were using head to head that was already a few years old. It's not reliable enough in helping to determine which club that is going to win the game. I think that the result is still remain unpredictable but some aspects may help us in increasing the chances for the club to win the game.
The match between bayern vs dormtund is still quite hard to predict. The head to head can be reliable enough in helping us to predict as long as there were no lots of change happened to the composition of clubs.
Let's said that if we were using the result from head to head a few months ago and this is still helping a lot coz there were no huge changes being made for upcoming match.

A head to head statistic might be helpful when the conditions in the next game are the same as in the last game. For example, if team A plays with the exact same players this time like they played last time when they beat team B, which also plays with the exact same players, then it can make sense to say that a game went this way and could go that way again. But maybe it rains this time or a team lacks motivation or so many other things could come into play here. Head to head helps more in tennis than in soccer I think and it is particularly helpful when someone has no clue about the players or the teams and has to come up with an educated guess.

[Essential10]

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Bayern Munich is going to face off in a big match in the Bundesliga today. Dortmund have not won a Bundesliga "Klasiker" against FC Bayern Munich since 2018. FC Bayern Munich is second in the points table and Dortmund is fourth. Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last five matches and now it remains to be seen if they can take their home advantage. There have been more than 3 goals in each of the last five matches between the two teams.  The possibility of more than three goals in today's match is very high. If Bayern Munich win this match with full 3 points then they will go to the top spot. All things considered, I think Bayern Munich will win 3-1 against Borussia Dortmund. Today is going to be a very interesting match.

I think by relying on several other player, Bayern Munich is quite strongs, but in fact Bayern Munich suffered a big defeat it's quite embarrassing because Bayern Munich was beaten by an division 3 club.

and in the match against Dortmund, I am quite sure that Bayern Munich will be serious in that match even though Dortmund is a tough club, but looking at the statistical data, Dortmund is not strong enough Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

I don't think so, in fact Bayern Munich were very unlucky so they lost against a weak team, Tachel fielded the second tier in that match. I think that's normal because Bayern Munich's chances of winning are very big, but they had a bad day.
In fact, since the previous season, Bayern Munich has always focused on the DBF Pokat tournament.

The match against Dortmund will certainly be fierce because Dotmund is also in its best form at the moment, and I think the chances of Bayern Munich and Dortmund winning this match are 50-50, especially since this match will be played at Dortmund's home ground.

I dont seem to agree with your opinion and if you think Bayern Munich focused on yesterday DFB match, do you see Kane being the main player?

from the formation of the main players used by Tuchel, it is very clear that Munich will definitely not be chasing the title in the DFB competition too much, even though they are very disappointed to see the defeat, but in fact Tuchel prefers to save his best players to compete in the Bundesliga and UCL to get prestigious titles. so I will not agree with your opinion about Bayern Munich focusing on the DFB competition.

and regarding the Dortmund vs Bayern Munich match it depends on whether Tuchel will use a first tier player like Kane or will only use a second tier player. If Tuchel uses the main players, it is certain that victory will belong to Munich, but if Tuchel uses second string players, I think it will only end in a draw.

[Oneandpure]

Neuer returned to the team in time, since Ulreich fell ill and missed today's match. But I think that Neuer will need some time to return to his previous form, long breaks always affect a player. Both teams have a good attack, so I think that both teams will score and it will be TO 3. I don’t know who will win, but I expect an interesting match and a lot of goals, and I’m probably more inclined to think that Bayern will win. Dortmund have a long unbeaten run and Bayern are the team that can break it.

Seems Manuel Neuer have bigger chance to be main goal keeper for Bayern Munich against Dortmund will play few hours later, after returning to the team and played two matches its enough for Neuer get back his main position from Sven Ulreich. Interested match between Dortmund vs Bayern Munich exactly as classic match and both teams have good history when facing each other. Bayern Munich won't continue bad performed after eliminating on DFB Pokal and want to pressure Bayern Leverkusen standings position.

For Dortmund its their moment if want take Bayern Munich position, with two points left have bigger chance for Dortmund drop Bayern Munich on 2nd standings and move up several place to 2nd position behind Bayern Leverkusen keep lead top position awhile.

I don't particularly like how Bayern Munich is handling the goalkeeper position as they have never announced a fair competition between Neuer and Ulreich despite Ulreich playing so well when he was needed. I am not convinced that this is ever the right approach since Ulreich also has shown a level of loyalty that so far no goalkeeper has ever shown before for any team.

I think it would have been fairer if they said that Neuer has to prove himself before he gets this backing from the coach that he will play every game no matter what. But they literally said that whenever he wants, he will play regardless of how Ulreich is performing. Neuer carelessly went skiing during an important time of the season, broke his leg, is out of the game for about a year, comes back and immediately is guaranteed his position in the goal.
