Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[TopT3ns]

Leverkusen is performing like they are in their best form while they played 16 games so far in the Bundesliga against strong teams in this league, Leverkusen is still unbeaten and other is not any team to win a game against Xabi Alonso and his players.
People think Leverkusen is having good performance mostly because of their coach which is totally wrong but I think Xabi Alonso was most the only reason for this team.

Leverkusen has a goal to win this season, so in several previous matches, they looked very aggressive and always kicked at goal to put pressure on the opponent. Leverkusen is lucky to have a coach like Xabi Alonso who is able to read the conditions on the field quickly so that the direction he gives to The players on the field always get a very good response and create teamwork, which is very important to create.

I became a new fan of Leverkusen because the quality of its players and coaches is above average. Bayern Munich just lost on points to Liverpool and is in second place. Leverkusen's young players like Wirtz are new stars who have extraordinary abilities. In fact, the 20 year old young player has recorded 20 assists for Leverkusen in all competitions throughout 2023.

The small difference in points with its closest competitor Bayern has not been able to make Laverkusen sit comfortably at the top of the standings, just losing points by drawing is enough for Tuchel and his fleet to overtake Laverkusen. everyone certainly agrees that breaking Bayern dominance is not an easy matter, and anyone who can do it deserves respect.

Although is actually gonna take Bayern Munich time to beat Bayern Leverkusen on the league table because there points different is a bit much because Leverkusen has 42 points while Bayern Munich has 38 points so perhaps for Bayern Munich to beat Leverkusen is only if they are able to win there straight two matches while Bayern Leverkusen will lose there two matches which perhaps we no is not possible because with the performance of Bayern Leverkusen I don't think there is much of a rival against them except Bayern Munich so if they should maintain there current performance Bayern Munich will not be able to beat them on the table.

Leverkusen is as strong as bayern munich. You may be seeing draw for the second leg of the match between bayern munich vs leverkusen. It must be noted that xavi has changed everything in the leverkusen. You can't call it as a bad club anymore.
Bayern munich will not able to beat leverkusen this season caused by its competitor is far strong compared to the munich. I remind you that the result from first leg was draw and it was also happening at allianz arena of bayern munich.
The second leg is going to be another disaster for bayern munich soon. Tuchel needs to be careful with it.

The progress that has occurred while Xabi has been at Leverkusen has indeed made a lot of progress at the club. And this season is their best season in performance, in fact their performance is almost perfect. Currently, Leverkusen can be said to be a club that is very on fire and can also make changes in the Bundesliga over the dominance of Bayern. Yes, although we still don't know whether Bayern Munich will soon take over Leverkusen or not. because unfortunately, there are rumors that Xabi and Real Madrid have reached a personal agreement. but whether this will come true or not. If so, then of course this will have a big influence on Leverkusen.

It seems that everything is just a rumor that is not yet clear because there has been no official statement from Xabi or Madrid. But if they have agreed, of course Xabi must give the best results. At least Xabi can give good memories with the Bundesliga champions.
I think Leverkusen will also immediately look for other coaching options to prepare if Xabi leaves. Because they also don't want to keep Xabi. There is no clause of any agreement, but it seems that Leverkusen supports Xabi to develop. Leverkusen will provide a clear door and discussion if Xabi moves.

I don't know this is just a rumour or true because at to Xabi Alonso contract there was a special clause because although Xabi contract will be ended at 2026 but he can terminate his contract early in Leverkusen if he will train Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Liverpool and next season we all know Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid which automatically Real Madrid don't have a manager and that's why since October Xabi was linked to Real Madrid because his current achievement was impress Real Madrid owner

Leverkusen owner was realized it's hard to hold Xabi Alonso so that's why they will be thinking realistic that if there is any team who showing their interest to Xabi Alonso then they will release Xabi Alonso and find other manager as the replacement of him but Leverkusen has good chances to ended this season with the trophies under him because so far they still playing at several different of competitions just like Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Europa league and if Xabi Alonso can able to managed Leverkusen consistency until end of this season i think they will gets at least 1 trophy

[tbterryboy]

Bayer Leverkusen is doing very well in the Bundesliga this year. They have now won 13 in 16 matches and drawn the remaining 3 matches. I think the fact that they had no defeats in the league was enough to prove Leverkusen's strength to us this year. There is currently almost no point difference between them and Bayern because Bayern has played one match less. Despite this, they are very focused on the league with a great example of struggle. Xabi has leveled up the team.

The entire club did a good job pre-season. The player purchases were all well done and very well thought out. And Alonso did a great job of turning the players into a well-functioning team.

However, it will be exciting to see what things look like after the winter break. Some of Bayer's top players will travel to the Africa Cup of Nations and then it will become clear whether the second line of players can maintain the current level or not.

After the joining of Xabi Alonso changes happen, and then we have good consistency and improvement in quality which are now giving them all success which is surely amazing and players chemistry is also impressive which is having good results in every game without any pressure this is clearly giving indicator how strong and energetic is Xabi Alonso as leader but now can they keep this momentum it's more important because we have mostly teams slips near the end of the season and have problems which hurt them badly.

They are already had good finances so with this all if they are able to keep few players for the long time then surely we can expect results like these for the long otherwise we have few clubs in past they have good success, but suddenly they are also failures due to bad leadership and other bad decisions.

indeed this is just a temporary rumor but it could happen in the next season but what is certain is that Xabi wants to stay until Leverkusen is able to get the title he wants so that when Xabi goes to Real Madrid Leverkusen will have success without feeling disappointed when the coach leaves him because Leverkusen can be as strong as this because they received support from Xabi and got the right strategy, even Leverkusen was almost able to break dominance of this bundesliga giant thanks to Xabi, who currently has very good intelligence.
of course, before losing this best coach, Leverkusen will look for new coach early before Xabi leaves and I am still a little unsure Leverkusen will let Xabi go because in several seasons Xabi has been the best coach.

[klidex]

Whether it's true or not that Xabi will leave Leverkusen, it seems like it's still gray because Xabi is a phenomenal coach at the moment who is able to provide stable performance to the club he manages and many people have acknowledged Xabi's greatness, maybe this could be a rumor. The reality is that Real Madrid will lose its coach Carlo Ancloti and Xabi Alonso is a strong candidate to replace Carlo Ancloti, but this still has to wait for a clear decision from both parties because it is feared that this is just a rumor with no clarity.

Leverkusen will definitely retain this coach because after all Xabi Alonso is a suitable coach for Leverkusen it is not easy to find a suitable coach whereas Leverkusen is very comfortable with the presence of Xabi with his strategy which is able to make significant changes and even makes Leverkusen able to compete with the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich which which is an extraordinary achievement for Leverkusen this season.

Even if bayern munich will be going to win any matches till the end of season will not be changing the situation.Bayern needs to pray for leverkusen to lose some points due to the its blunders. Im not expecting a lot from this but leverkusen is a very strong club right now.
The main problem is leverkusen becomes even more consistent than before. This is also giving an enormous pressure to the bayern munich as a competitor caused by the chance to win the match will be very small when it comes to the end of season.
I will not be blaming bayern but this is tchel's obligation caused by bayern was missing some important points that made leverkusen is leading the competition right now. Being very consistent to get three points will help you once your opponent will be doing some mistakes in the future.
It will mean nothing if your competitor was also getting the same result as yours. That's munich's fans are praying for leverkusen to lose some points or it will not able to climbing up to lead the competition.

[Godday]

Xabi Alonso has to be praised. He has made the team perform well even when he doesn't have the best of players for service. But that's what coaches are supposed to do, unlike a certain someone like Ten Hag 

Xabi Alonso was able to see and develop the team's collective game so that it was able to create a strong game and was able to remain unbeaten to date. Sometimes a coach just needs to find a strategy that suits the squad he has. Or the coach could create a new strategy that is suitable for the team to use. For me, Xabi is great because he is able to create excellent chemistry for Leverkusen. Don't talk about Ten Hag here because maybe there is a problem that befell United so they are still having difficulties to this day.

[Dzwaafu11]

No matter what anyone says, Bayer Leverkusen will have done a great job if they become champions this season. Whichever team can stop Bayern München's years-long domination in Germany is truly great.
Bayer Leverkusen is undefeated in 16 matches. Despite this, the point difference with Bayern München is only 4 and Bayern has one match less. So the potential point difference is only 1. The only team that could beat Bayern this season was Eintracht Frankfurt. We should give their credits too. Bayern München is now waiting for Leverkusen to make a mistake, like a predator waiting for its prey. When this pressure increases its influence on Leverkusen, they can make mistakes. Xabi Alonso should be commended just for being able to handle this properly. Not even half of the league is over yet. We cannot declare anyone a champion just yet, but this excitement will continue to increase.

You are right. Xabi Alonso deserves to be respected seriously. He lifts the team to be unbeatable. Leverkusen are doing great currently, and even in the standings, they are at the top with 42 points; however, Bayern Munchen are the second with 38 points, so I think Bayern Munchen still have a lot to do. The fact that Leverkusen are doing excellent and unbeatable makes me believe that Bayern Munchen will not be a challenge for them at this time since they are already at the top of the standings. I think they will continue dominating in their matches as they have been doing throughout the season, and I believe they won’t try to make a mistake that will make their point drop and leave that position to another team. However, let's see who will be the champion. We can’t conclude yet, but I believe Leverkusen will continue dominating.

It looks like you need to look again at the current Bundesliga standing table. Currently, Munich has a 4 points difference with Bayer Leverkusen, but Munich still has 1 match pending. If only Munich had played the same match as Bayer Leverkusen, maybe the point difference between Munich and Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't be that big. far, namely 1 point and that could be said to be a narrow point, so it is not too difficult for Munich to catch up with this narrow point difference, so Bayer Leverkusen must be careful not to make mistake that lead to defeated.

For the match in Week 17, it looks like there is a chances that both teams, Bayer Leverkusen and Munich, will be able to win because they are against teams that tend to be weak, but this match will be held at the beginning of 2024 and at the end of 2023, Bayer Leverkusen will be in first place.

[rendravolt]

The beauty of the football game is that Bayern Munich do not even need to beat Bayer Leverkusen, not at all. Bayern munich just needs to get maximum points whenever Bayer leverkusen drops points and the 4 points margin will vanish. Also, recall that Bayern Munich has a game advantage because they have played one game less than other teams in the league.

The title charge is on!!!

Bayern Munich's advantage is that they have good squad depth, but that doesn't guarantee that everything will go well until the end of the season. Leverkusen is more than that, they have a squad that is in its prime and also a young coach who has a modern vision in football, so as long as Leverkusen's strategy cannot be read by Bayern Munich or other teams, they will continue to move forward without losing. I don't doubt this considering that many big European teams are waiting for the arrival of Xabi Alonso and he is the coach who can revive Leverkusen since last season and this season they have far exceeded anyone's expectations. So, Bayern Munich should start to be wary of their chances of winning the title again this season because it could be stolen by Leverkusen.

It sounds so easy to say but it won’t be easy to get all maximum points because not long ago Bayern Munich lost to Frankfurt on a high goal margin of 5-1 which was unexpected. Leverkusen will definitely drop points sooner or later but it will be up to Bayern Munich not to lose any more matches if they want to close the gap but that will be so difficult considering their inconsistent performance. Playing a game less means they will be one points behind if they eventually win the match and it will make the title challenge more intense.

Leverkusen looks like a team that can keep the fire burning but we can’t be so sure yet as we not sure what the outcome will be when injuries hit their key players.

Maybe when you meet frankurt bayern munchen is not at its best or can't show its best quality. because in the champion league it became an unbeaten team in the group phase.
And also at that time Bayern Munich played away at Frankurt's home ground. but I also don't believe and don't think can lose badly to 5-1.

[piebeyb]

Leverkusen looks like a team that can keep the fire burning but we can’t be so sure yet as we not sure what the outcome will be when injuries hit their key players.

I think Xabi Alonso has thought about this, that's why he always maintains the performance of each of his players and rotates his players very well, at least playing the key players in important matches and saving his key players for games that are not too important so that injuries don't occur. on key players which will certainly be detrimental to Leverkusen, especially if they lose points, it will make Munich move them at the top of the standings.

There is still a lot of time and matches left, so Leverkusen must really maintain that fire, where they must be consistent until the end of the season if they really want the title this season. I hope that Xabi Alonso succeeds in bringing Leverkusen to become champions and breaks Munich's streak of champions in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Leverkusen have been enjoying the first place position on the standings for quite a long time now, this is due to their great football and ability to remain consistent in their gameplay overtime. This is the time for them to be more serious with their games and not fall of performance because Bayern Munich are just looking up to one mistake from them to take over the league title and when they take over, it will be very hard for any team to beat them from that position till the end of the season. The league looks to be getting more interesting as we approach the end of the midseason. Looking forward to an interesting and more competitive game by the teams in the top of the standings. A match between Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen could determine the potential league title winners very soon.

Another thing that surprised me that bayern had lost against third tier club in the DFB pokal. These are the worst result achieved by bayern munich this time. I could not sure which thing that had been preventing bayern to get the perfect result against those teams but the lost against frankfurt with non sense score was actually a very embarassing result. This makes me think that if bayern may have a smaller chance to win the UCL. Leverkusen is still leading the competition and people were expecting bayern to pass it just by getting the perfect result.
Come on, man. Bayern munich will never win if leverkusen will not be getting a flop in the upcoming fixtures. This is the main problem owned by the club.

Bayern is always like that. The club keeps give its supporters another surprise. The big lost against frankfurt was obviously another setback for bayern but it can pay it off in the UCL as bayern was able beating manchester united when the club was playing away.
It's very good to see that bayern has been doing it right.

Yes and also, Bayer Leverkusen players like Victor Boniface, who at least has the most goals in the Bayer Leverkusen team at this moment, but in fact Victor Boniface also sometimes only plays from the bench. In this way, Xabi Alonso really makes the right rotation of Bayer Leverkusen's key players in every match.

So yes, of course it is natural that Bayer Leverkusen managed to remain consistent without defeat so far in the first half of this season, because Xabi really has good management to make his players fine. Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen players are not in the highest competition on the list of top scorers Bundesliga like Kane, because Xabi does not prioritize his players to become the Bundesliga's top scorers.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

No doubt that you are probably right here. I only wanted to remark that when you just look at the table without checking some of the results, you would think that Darmstadt's chances are dead, but that isn't yet the case as they have played some games where it almost felt sad for them that they lost the game. The last time I had a look it was the draw against Hoffenheim that got me thinking maybe a miracle can be possible. I think the same about Luton Town in the Premier League. Now they won at home against Newcastle and three weeks before they had a lead against Arsenal, conceded a goal, which made it 3-3 and then they conceded another goal in the 97th minute. But Luton Town is still alive and I think Darmstadt is similar.

Maybe there is still hope to get out of the relegation zone in the next few matches because there are still quite a lot of matches, but when we compare Luton Town in the English league with Darmstadt in the Bundesliga it will be very different. Darmstadt have only scored two wins in the matches that have taken place and this is a bad achievement if they want to stay in the Bundesliga. The quality of players is important because they have to work collectively to bring victory in every match.

Likewise, if they don't try to play better in the next match, then their position will be much more difficult to get out of the relegation zone. Without changes implemented by the coach, I doubt Darmstadt can get out of the relegation zone because the competition in the second half of the season will be much tighter.
