Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[owengtam09]

This looks a little funny for a team that has very competent players and a big defeat with more than four goals conceded is a form of Tuchel's incompetence in facing Frankfurt. No one predicted that Bayern Munich would lose by such a striking score and even the bookmakers placed Bayern Munich as a strong candidate to win the match. Dino's strategy is considered quite effective and appropriate in reducing Bayern Munich's attacks and this will be a reference for other coaches if they want to beat Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen was able to secure a point even though Stuttgart put up fierce resistance, even four minutes later after Fuhrich broke into Hradecky's goal, Wirtz managed to equalize. Xabi Alonso now has a good record in the Bundesliga and I think he will be a target for top clubs next season because if he is able to lead Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title it will make his name even more popular.

For sure many have failed to expect the defeat of Bayern Munich and for sure because many have bet on Bayern Munich and many were frustrated and could not recover from their loss, I surely think that Thomas Tuchel didn't expect this to happen and that Frankfurt have already seen the technique and skills of Bayern Munich for sure that is why they have been defeated,

Leverkusen on the other hand just managed to make a draw game against Stuttgart which is OK as well, and because of the loss of Bayern Munich the score of Bayern and Leverkusen have a 4 points difference making Leverkusen still on the top of the standing, for sure Xabi Alonso is all Leverkusen can thank for because of his approached and technique with the game that if the Leverkusen can not win the game they will focus on defense so they can force a draw for the game making a safer route to victory, which I think is very effective somehow,

[TopT3ns]

I do not know why people have expectation that Bayern should be leading by many points, they are close enough, they have a game missing so they are closer than it looks if they get that win, plus Leverkusen played a wonderful season so far, how much could Bayern play to be ahead of them, they are still so close with all that amazing season from Leverkusen which should mean that Bayern is doing fine too.

Let's not put them at some pedestal, they are playing fine, and Tuchel is fine as well, no need to expect something that would be way too much from them, if we are talking about something realistic then they are doing fine and they shouldn't really worry about anything that would be all that confusing in the end neither. Just accept the fact that Bayern is still the best team in that league, even better than Leverkusen and no team that is leading the league for a while is off the hook that easily, Leverkusen needs to be this good up until the very last game.

If Bayern Munich looks fine, then they shouldn't lose much in the match against Frankfurt. There was something strange in that match, and it looked like Bayern Munich deliberately lost and let Frankfurt win, on the positive side. Maybe there was a strategy directed by Tuchel to let Frankfurt win, and hopefully there will be no internal problems between Tuchel and the Bayern Munich players.

[shogun47]

There is no doubt that the squad built by Xabi Alonso has a very big winning mentality because there are already 3 equally strong teams that they have managed to hold to a draw and the latest is Stuttgart. It certainly wasn't easy with this team's tight pressure and even though they often conceded first, they always ended the match without regrets.

A draw is not a bad result, especially against competitors in the title race and I think Leverkusen are very good and just need to find more points against a team they should be able to beat easily. As long as Leverkusen can maintain its top position, it is clear that Bayern Munich will not be able to catch it this season.

But this is again what we have seen in many of the seasons when Bayern Munich won the title. Bayern loses a game and at the same time their strongest competitors struggle as well. This keeps the advantage at a minimum for Leverkusen and they could have four more points out of those last two games, which I think is again only helping Bayern. It could look much worse for Bayern, but the timing of those other teams to struggle as well is remarkably stupid.

I know what you mean and indeed I don't doubt that fact, but isn't there a time when this prediction can be broken even though it is quite difficult, right?
It's true that a draw like that would help Bayern Munich and the distance wouldn't widen that far, but why when they had the opportunity to shorten the distance again, Bayern Munich actually lost badly yesterday against Frankfurt, which clearly had an inconsistent performance. Bayern Munich should have won yesterday and the statistics are still superior to Bayern Munich and again, whose fault is this. I don't want to involve Tuchel too much, but he is the only one who is most responsible for Bayern Munich's situation this season.

The problem is that Bayern Munich can afford to lose a game like that and usually they never lose games like that a few times a season. It did happen in the past, but it usually was like a wake up call for them and if then their strongest competitors don't win the games when Bayern Munich struggles, they find themselves in a situation that could be much worse but can still be fixed. See how Dortmund did last season and how they wasted the title when they tied games against teams from the lower half of the table. In the end it can be one or two points and that is when Bayern will be there and win the title despite losing a game against Frankfurt conceding 5 goals.

[bering]

I don't think Bayern Munich has suffered such a heavy defeat in the league for a long time.Frankfurt gave them a reminder of what it feels like to be defeated.Frankfurt managed to score 5 goals in 60 minutes, a score that was not expected by everyone.Bayern Munich must have been surprised. They suffered their first defeat in the league and lost the lead.I think it was a shock for them.To score 5 goals in 60 minutes against a team like Bayern Munich is not something that every team can do.Frankfurt did it and was the first team to stop Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich lost, more importantly Bayern Munich conceded 5 goals in this match. I can't remember the last time I saw a Bayern Munich team concede 5 goals. Usually Bayern Munich don't concede so many goals. The defense of this team is strong. Many have questioned Bayern Munich's defense and Manuel Neuer's ability after conceding 5 goals against Frankfurt.

Leverkusen are now 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich after the defeat in this match. However, if Munich win their next match, this gap will narrow. Bayern Munich has 32 points from 15 matches and Leverkusen has 36 points from 16 matches.

If we talking about Bayern Munich huge lose i think it was happened several times and if i am not mistaken before this match Bayern Munich have been suffering lose with 5 goals without conceded on 2021 because at that time they were lose 5-0 from Borussia Monchengladbach at DFB pokal and this is their last defeat with big scores before the match against Frankfurt and about Manuel Neuer just like i said before he wasn't able to performing well like when he was before he got a long injury and he also one of Bayern Munich weaknesses last week

The race between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen hasn't over yet because Leverkusen also cannot be says too consistent because they were just slipped too last week and indeed Bayern Munich has 4 difference points below to Leverkusen but Bayern Munich has 1 postponed match which mean if they can able to win from that match then Bayern Munich can cut the points gap with Leverkusen so everything still possible to happened depend on the consistency between these teams

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Sometimes world class coaching makes mistakes and this is normal. They might use a strategy that might not work in a particular match and this was what happened to Thomas Tuchel. This doesn't mean that he has lost his tactical competence, even Pep Guardiola sometimes makes fatal mistakes.

Leverkusen continued with their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga but they failed to increase the gap between them and Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso's side would have maximized the loss by Munich by winning the game against VfB Stuttgart, but a draw is still better than losing the entire three points.

You are right because even though the coach has good tactical, there are still times when they make mistakes so their strategy is easy for the opposing coach to read. This defeat was quite unnatural because Bayern Munich was beaten by a team that couldn't win the last five matches and even though you mentioned Pep Guardiola had also experienced the same thing. Thomas Tuchel will play the match away to Old Trafford and maybe he needs to restore the morale of his players because even though the defeat did not affect any results in the Champions League for Bayern Munich.

Stuttgart provided equal resistance to Leverkusen and they also played more carefully so that not many goals were scored in the match. A draw was enough because Leverkusen even conceded first and were lucky they were able to equalize so they didn't lose two points at Stuttgart headquarters.

[topbitcoin]

There is indeed another options by maintaining  as much competition as they can afford to compte but if in the end they are too forced to continue to familiarize themselves with the busy schedule and the players are too large portions then this could be very  dangerous for Bayern itself like injury for sme players and inconsistency could happen for Bayern even though they are one of the big club.
Tuchel doesnt have to make a big gamble if in the end he is unable to compete in all competition at least he must find a competition that he thinks is worth defending.
With a big enough defeat  even the biggest during this season at least Leverkusen is still breathing a sigh of relief now even though they got a draw against VFB but the difference is still 4 points adrift now with  Bayern who have one match left to play.
 

There is no other choice for Tuchel other than to create many ways to ensure that the Bayern team's performance remains consistent when player rotation occurs, but so far this has failed. Indeed, in a situation like this, it would be very risky for Tuchel to be able to maintain the team's performance throughout the season. only rely on their main squad because this season is still very long and no one can guarantee that all the players will remain fit.

In my opinion, Bayern's defeat will not have a big impact and maybe this will be an evaluation material for Tuchel to be able to make the Bayern team even stronger, maybe the impact is that Bayern will only be more points behind Leverkusen and that distance is still possible to catch if Bayern can maintain consistency.

I don't think so, the current situation is still quite comfortable because the match and the Bundesliga season are still quite long but still this defeat will hurt Bayern itself.
Even though with the situation that occurred, Bayern this week should be able to stick tight to Leverkusen at the top but the defeat Bayern got made them have to stay stuck with Margini 4 points at this time even though it was not too far away but it was a loss in my opinion.

Indeed, the impact is not too big especially for now, this is only the first defeat for them but if this is underestimated then I think there will be several situations that actually make Bayern even more disadvantaged.
The matches in December for Bayern are still quite troublesome because apart from Manchester United there is also VFB which is now still quite troublesome also in the Bundesliga so Bayerna must improve their performance after this defeat so that in other matches they do not experience the same thing.

This defeat could be a warning for Bayern Munich that there are teams that can read their game strategy well, even when they make changes after falling behind their strategy can still be read well by their opponents so that all their efforts are in vain.
Against Stuttgart in the 15th-week match will be very important for Bayern Munich because Stuttgart is performing quite well at the moment, even though they have experienced two consecutive defeats, they can immediately recover to collect points again and Stuttgart could be the next team to damage Bayern Munich's fight because when Stuttgart being able to get 1 point in the match later would be very detrimental for Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen continued with their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga but they failed to increase the gap between them and Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso's side would have maximized the loss by Munich by winning the game against VfB Stuttgart, but a draw is still better than losing the entire three points.

Stuttgart played amazingly and this was beyond my expectations. But indeed Stuttgart worked well, they dominated with 12 shots on goal. Luckily both teams appeared open so this match was entertaining. Some of my friends are championing Leverkusen to win. Stuttgart pressed early on and allowed Lukas Hradecky to make a fine save. If not, it is possible that Stuttgart will win. But I'm impressed if I look at the statistics of at least 40 kick attempts.

There weren't many goals in this match even though both teams seemed to play aggressively, the defense was equally good, they took lots of shots, only resulting in 1 goal and managed to draw 1:1. Stuttgart took the lead in the first half and after halftime and the second half started, Leverkusen immediately launched an attack and managed to equalize in the 47th minute, at least both teams must be satisfied with the results of sharing these points and no one suffered defeat.

A draw is not a bad result for Leverkusen because this club has not experienced defeat in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the only club that has not been defeated in all competitions and this is an extraordinary achievement. I did not think that Xabi Alonso could make Leverkusen at an unbeatable level even though the club has played many matches, namely 22 matches, Xabi Alonso is truly an extraordinary coach.

Leverkusen have drawn three matches this season and won all the others. And in these three matches, Leverkusen's opponents were the strongest teams in the Bundesliga. They shared points against Bayern Munich, Stuttgart and Dortmund. It would not be wrong to say that these three teams are the three best teams in the Bundesliga. So sharing points in these three matches is not a bad result.

Leverkusen is arguably the most consistent team in the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Munich suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt in the last match. And because of this, Munich are now 2 points behind Leverkusen. We don't know when we will see Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

They shared points with some of the strongest clubs in the Bundesliga, these are not bad results. But they always take advantage of some weaker clubs to gain the maximum three points. If Xabi Alonso's side continue drawing with top clubs and winning all the game against low-rate clubs, they will win the league title.

Leverkusen is arguably the most consistent team in the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Munich suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt in the last match. And because of this, Munich are now 2 points behind Leverkusen. We don't know when we will see Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

I want Leverkusen to win the league this season to end the dominance of Bayern Munich. Leverkusen's next game in the league will be against Eintracht Frankfurt, the club that whitewashed Bayern Munich. This game is highly unpredictable because both teams are in great form. But the club will be focusing on their Europa League match against Norwegian football club Molde this week.

Bayern Munich should take a lesson from the heavy defeat to evaluate what's going wrong with their team setup. They cant keep playing with the same tactics and strategy throughout the season, because many teams would be able to read their gameplan. Bayern  need to have adaptability and perhaps some unpredictability in their approach of each game. Tuchel have to prove himself, Fans and the board that he has capability to manage a team as Bayern calibre.

The upcoming match against Stuttgart, especially considering Stuttgart's recent good form despite two consecutive defeats, becomes crucial for Bayern Munich. Perhaps Stuttgart have the ability to recover and collect points again adds an element of challenge for Bayern. Stuttgart could potentially indeed be the next team to disrupt Bayern Munich's fight. In football, a team like Stuttgart can pose a threat to Bayern's stability. The match becomes significant not only for Bayern Munich but also for the larger context of the title race.

I still can't believe that Bayern Munich suffered a crushing defeat against Frankfurt and conceded 5 goals, which proves that their defense is not doing well. Manuel Neuer's performance is also not as good as in the previous season and he is actually very old for a goalkeeper in a big Bundesliga team. I doubt whether Bayern Munich can defend their title this season if their defense is getting weaker and there is no regeneration from the goalkeeper side.

Stuttgart will be quite a strong opponent for Bayern Munich and even though Bayern Munich are favored as hosts, of course that will not guarantee their victory at home. So far, Stuttgart has been able to hold off another strong team, Leverkusen, and managed to win against Dortmund. So this will be a tough challenge for Bayern Munich and if they lose again or even draw then they will be even further left behind by Leverkusen.

If you check the lineup they used against Frankfurt you'll see that Bayern Munich featured most of their key players in that match, so it's not as if they rested lots of players maybe due to the UCL match they're to play against Manchester United today,  therefore I fail to understand why they lost that match with an embarrassing scoreline, maybe they underestimated Frankfurt and paid dearly for it, well whatever the case may be, i believe they've learnt their lesson the hard way and most do everything possible to make up for it in their next fixtures.

 They're now in the 2nd place, giving Leverkusen an advantage to maintain their position at the top of the league and even widening the gap separating both teams, however in their next match against Stuttgart they need to avoid unnecessary mistakes that would make them drop more points cause they would be giving Xabi Alonso's team more opportunities in ending their dominance in the Bundesliga, a record they've kept for so many years.

This is not the first time that Bayern Munich has been embarrassed, if you still remember in the DFB cup match, Bayern Munich was defeated by a division 3 club, even though logically, Bayern Munich is in the Bundesliga, the strongest club and still performed well when facing Dortmund, Leipzig and Leverkusen, but Bayern Munich can be beaten by an average team, but yes, in the DFB cup, maybe Bayern Munich doesn't really need it because they are more focused on the domestic league and the UCL.
However, what surprised me was that in the match against Frankfurt, Bayern brought out their best squad, including Kane, but in that match, Kane couldn't do much and didn't even score a goal like he usually does.

They have felt victorious from the start and that mentality is what broke Munich. Frankfrut managed to make a surprise by winning 3 goals first. During the game Munich also lacked the spirit to win and Tuchel seemed difficult to resurrect that at half-time. Munich at that time was indeed very bad. In other news, they canceled the holiday after losing heavily to Fankfrut. They do exercises in scheduled sessions off.

Sharing points with strong teams is a natural thing to happen when strong teams meet, Bayer Leverkusen has been able to maintain an unbeaten record this season since the season started. Anything could still happen if they are not careful in the next match, Bayern Munich is still chasing them with a very close point difference. Bayern Munich still has one match left to play, if they manage to win the match, the gap between the two will be one point. The race to win the Bundesliga is still very tight, Stuttgart also still poses a threat in third position.

Three teams made Bayern Leverkusen failed get three points are Stuttgart, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, they are top three teams success made Bayern Leverkusen loss with three points but Leverkusen is the only one unbeaten Bundesliga team until right now after Bayern Munich get losses last match. Current standings of three teams success held Bayern Leverkusen on the top place and no doubt they are favorite teams can't stop three points winning for Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich losses last match give benefit for Bayern Leverkusen have many points left including Bayern win with their postponed match keep give the first place for Leverkusen, but warning for Xabi Alonso must return to winning trend after two consecutives draw from two matches. Next match Frankfurt with team stop unbeaten record from Bayern Munich will make Leverkusen get difficult or Alonso will make Leverkusen return to winning trend.

[mv1986]

If they really want to win the league then the winning mentality is the basic they need and try to be consistent in order to capitalise on every mistake or drop of point by the mighty bayern munich, who was really disappointing yesterday and got trash by Frankfurt 5 goals to 1 but is usually like this for them every season when they get a shocking defeat but i hope Xabi and his men will not slack off because of this

Unfortunately Xabi Alonso team did not profit much from Bayern Munich humiliating defeat and got only one point from their game against Stuttgart. Bayer Leverkusen were playing away vs a team that is doing pretty good this season in Bundesliga. They were pushing and trying to score and Leverkusen tried too but their opponent were concentrated to not lose home.
This round in Bundesliga is crazy with a lot of unexpected results. Even Dortmund lost home vs Leipzig which increased the gap to 4 points.

Dortmund is the roller coaster team of the Bundesliga. I still struggle to understand how they were able to pass the Champions League group and get into the next round early. But I highly doubt that they will be able to pass two more rounds in the Champions Leagues they are just too weak and unstable. I am sure they will soon be punished for that. 11 points behind Leverkusen, only 1 win in the last 5 games... Is Terzic going to be sacked soon?

Dortmund erratic nature is unquestionable because thats how they started out. Its just that their performance is actually still very good in my opinion.
Their situation with this tight schedule is complicated. They previously lost to Leipzig also because they lost a player due to a red card but were able to hold back and even continue to reduce the gap but on the other hand they still have a number of things that need to be improved so that their very good performance is covered with inconsistencies in defense which sometimes it is detrimental to Dortmund itself. 

Losing a player due to a red card is part of the game and I saw the scene how Hummels knocked down the Leipzig player, come on what did he think when he is going to go through with a tackle like that? It was strange because it was complex for the referee to make the right call as it wasn't clear whether it was inside or outside the box, which means inside the box it is penalty + yellow card and outside the box it is free kick + red card, which was then corrected from yellow to red + free kick.

But I am confused that you say their performance is very good as they have lost most of their games in the last few weeks and only won a single game in the Bundesliga besides the game in the Champions League. They got eliminated from the DFB Cup as well. It doesn't sound to me as if they are performing well.

[piebeyb]

Leverkusen is arguably the most consistent team in the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Munich suffered a humiliating 5-1 defeat against Frankfurt in the last match. And because of this, Munich are now 2 points behind Leverkusen. We don't know when we will see Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

Munich's defeat could be an opportunity for Leverkusen to win the title this season and also break the dominance of Munich who have been champions of the Bundesliga consecutively. I am sure that Leverkusen can maintain their consistency until the end of the season, Xabi can really rotate all his players well, at the same time ensure that the performance stamina of all players is on fire to be able to face each opponent and achieve victory.

Leverkusen is consistent with their wins so far and seeing Munich's crushing defeat is an opportunity for Leverkusen to maintain the point difference with Munich so that they can be more calm and smooth in winning the title this season without the shadow of Munich always haunting them and are ready to replace Leverkusen at the top of the standings, I hope Leverkusen can maintain their consistency,

[hahay]

If Bayer Leverkusen is able to maintain good performance and results like this, then whatever the points gap with Bayern Munich will of course remain difficult for Bayern Munich to take over the top position. Because ya, at least with the big defeat suffered by Bayern Munich in its last match it might be evidence, that it is still not easy for Tuchel to make Bayern Munich have high dominance for Bayern Munich this season.

So ya, with that factor I seem to be doubting Bayern Munich at this moment because it is clear, that Xabi Alonso has also been very successful in improving the quality and performance of Bayer Leverkusen to be very good this season. But indeed, when it comes to football, then any result can still happen. But ya, considering about impressive Bayer Leverkusen has been so far this season without being defeated, it is certainly feasible for Bayer Leverkusen to remain at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the season ends.
