Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[asriloni]

Focusing on the Champions League too much and having problems in the Bundesliga on one hand isn't very ideal for Dortmund at all. Dortmund's main target must always be to finish the season in top 4 at worst. Because the Champions League is like a tradition for Dortmund as they can normally finish the season in this area easily.

Missing UCL would be affecting the financial condition of dortmund. We have seen that many teams used UCL as their source of income as well. So, that makes sense for dortmund to put UCL as the main target to be reached this season. It's quite impossible for dortmund to take the trophy this season caused by bayern munich and leverkusen are leading the bundesliga this time. These team have big gap to the its competitors like dortmund or even leipzig. It makes sense if dortmund was also decreasing its target from trophy to the UCL spot.
It's caused by the competition is also very strict right now. it makes dortmund needs to put sense target to be achieved at the end of season. Dortmund is still playing in the UCL as well.

But right now things are going really badly for them about this topic. While Stuttgart and Leipzig are performing much better Dortmund will need to work much harder than this. As there is a long time to go for next round games in the Champions League Dortmund had better work on their weaknesses in the Bundesliga.

yeah that's indeed, but dortmund is not yet losing against those clubs. Stuttgart and leipzig have consistent performance compared to the dortmund but we are still far away from the end of season. There is still enough time for dortmund to chase those clubs.
Terzic is working so hard to make the club will be going up. Dortmund is still in the process to rebuilding the club. There will be amazing performance to come from dortmund to climb up asap.

Dortmund has not been playing good in any of the competitions. They got punished in the DFB Pokal and were kicked out against Stuttgart and that game revealed all the weaknesses Dortmund is dealing with. The Bundesliga is again revealing everything as they are just not as lucky all the time as they have been in the Champions League. I don't know how often it happened that a team qualified for the next round in the CL when they scored only 7 goals in 6 games and were in one of the strongest groups of this season. Dortmund has played several games they should have lost, but didn't because their opponents were too stupid to score. I doubt that they will stay in the CL for two more rounds. Eindhoven is still doable for them, but I doubt it will be a long adventure for them.

In fact, Dortmund is already 6 points behind Leipzig who are in the top 4. This is quite a drastic decline in their game this season because in previous seasons we saw that Dortmund always managed to stick closely to the top of the standings, but this they are relatively weaker. I think this season from what I've seen they haven't been able to balance their game as well as they could and some players have really found it difficult to develop their best qualities. Well, losing Bellingham has had quite a big impact on them this season because their front line is not as aggressive as last season in terms of scoring goals.

Terzic has a more difficult job this season because they really have to work hard to get back into the top rankings. Terzic must also be able to bring changes for the second half of the season and he must be able to see the weak points in his team that can be fixed in this winter transfer window. If they can't change their performance in the second half of the season, of course this season will be a pretty bad season for their performance in the Bundesliga.

That's how I see it, yes. They are falling behind like they haven't been falling behind in a long time. However, I think it also has to do with the flawless season that Leverkusen is playing. If you have one club playing the perfect season, everyone else is looking worse for obvious reasons. But still this isn't just looking bad for Dortmund because Leverkusen is playing well. It is looking bad for Dortmund because they are playing crap. It is just bad. It is weak and they should have lost more games than they actually did because they sometimes got lucky, which makes it even worse given where they are at in the table. The weirdest thing is that they qualified for the round of 16 in the Champions League. I guess that is what saved Terzic the job until now.

@shogun47 I believe that they’ll need to dip in the January transfer window asap to save their season and the most logical buy would be is Sancho because they’re tailored for each other. Furthermore if they decide against buying or loaning player’s then their season will only get worse hence I hope that they can loosen their purse strings and immediately make some quick deals.

UEFA Champions League have made football to become very interesting and entertaining for we viewers, we can watch the substandard and crucial standards of every club in all categories, both elite and average at their peak. Finishing in top position is definitely for competitive clubs, they're acquainted with the system. Dortmund will lost one significant spot, either in UCL or Bundesliga, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't settle for any loss in Bundesliga, that's one of the basic reasons they're fighting really hard to face their struggles. Borrusia Dortmund is not consistent as supposed, they're distracted because in bundesliga, they're struggling to win matches and currently ranked 5th position while in UCL, Edin Terzic and his team are enjoying football.

I see no problem by focusing too much on UCL. UCL was also giving dortmund additional income too. It will be very beneficial for the club as well. This is also the main reason dortmund puts more effort in UCL instead of bundesliga.
We are still long way to go till the end of season but the different thing when it comes to the how much money that is going to be received by dortmund. Terzic is still having enough chance to push dortmund to go up.
It was not lucky enough in the bundesliga but it doesn't mean dortmund played so poorly in any game. I know some would debate whether dortmund has chance to get the UCL spot by finishing at the top 4 or not.

But right now things are going really badly for them about this topic. While Stuttgart and Leipzig are performing much better Dortmund will need to work much harder than this.

I bellieve stuttgart and leipzig are going to decline soon. Im concerning about the news of guirassy to leave from stuttgart. This is going to affecting the performance from the club a lot. Guirassy was the only guy who can carry the club and it's all what dortmund need.
The team can take it as an opportunity to replace stuttgart's position. Dortmund got the job done in UCL. It must be doing even better in bundesliga. There is still enough time to improve.

Talking about  Borussia Dortmund and their different performances in the UEFA Champions League and the German Bundesliga,  I don't think  the club would deliberately want to do well in one competition and falter in the other one. The league campaign is often played almost all the weeks during the season and it takes many more number of matches to decide who will finish in the top four of league or even win the league which is absolutely contrary to what happens in the UEFA Champions League whereby a club only needs to play six games to either progress to the knockout stages of the competition or be eliminated from the competition. 

Borussia Dortmund somehow prioritised and performed better in the UCL group stage because they knew that they were in the toughest group and must perform well to remain in the competition.  Now that the group stage of the UCL is over,  I think they'll shift their attention to the league and start to do well

[klidex]

Dortmund showed a different performance in the UCL, what impressed us all about Dortmund was their success in qualifying from the hell group. However, in the Bundesliga they look a little unstable, usually Dortmund always compete tightly and suppress Bayern's dominance, but this season Laverkusen has taken over that role and appeared more impressive. The time gap until mid-January can be utilized by all teams competing in the Bundesliga, I think even though there are no new player recruitments, this time gap will be used to evaluate their respective performance.

Dortmund is now knocked out of the top four of the standings and has collected 27 points, the opportunity to penetrate the UCL zone is still open. Consistency in securing full points is a priority in the remaining matches of the second half, if they don't do something in the transfer window then they will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings.

Dortmund’s performance in the UCL is way different from how they perform im the domestic league. In the UCL they seem to be one big demon but a shadow of themselves when they get to the league. But rating their overall performance I’ll rate it mid, because this Dortmund isn’t what we know them to be and they’ve been overtaken by the likes of Leverkusen and Stuttgart, I think they need to sit up and maintain consistency.

 Yes, the break is important at this period but without better addition to the entire team, I don’t think this Dortmund side will pose any kind of threat to Bayern Munich or Leverkusen. Rather they’ll try to maintain their UCL spot which is still very open. I think the team needs some key additions especially since the departure of Jude the team’s midfield hasn’t been in sweet shape; more reason for the addition of one or two key players to pilot the midfield.

The difference between Dortmund's performance in the Champions League and the Bundesliga is very clear, Dortmund can play impressively against PSG, Milan and Newcastle and can qualify as group winners, but in the Bundesliga Dortmund is not that impressive, even though in the previous season we all know that Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga is very strong, but this season it seems that since Jude Bellingham was not in the team, Dortmund is starting to have difficulties in the Bundesliga and has been forced to shift its position to clubs like Leverkusen and Stuttgart.

The question is whether Dortmund management is willing to spend money to recruit players? even though Dortmund needs it because usually what happens is that Dortmund sells important players in the transfer market to make a profit, if Dortmund management cares about their club they should do their best and add new faces to improve their performance to compete in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga this seasons.

[bering]

An interesting match after this break is the match between Freiburg vs Union Berlin. I must say that this season both Freiburg and Union Berlin are in decline, but Union Berlin is in a much worse decline than Freiburg. In the last 5 matches played by Union Berlin they could only record 2 wins, and the rest ended in disappointment, 2 defeats and 1 draw and made their position in 15th place, only one level at the safety zone limit.
Freiburg themselves are actually residents in the European zone zone, but now they are ranked 8th in the standings. Both clubs want to get the best results, because it can make them even better in terms of position. But it is not that easy for them to get points, because they have to beat each other.

Union Berlin performance was compeletely messed up this season and at champion league too they have to finish at the bottom of group standings because Union Berlin only able to gets 2 wins from 6 matches and this also caused Union Berlin have to sacked their previous manager Urs Fischer and last month Union Berlin was hire Nenad Bjelica as new manager i think under him Union Berlin has good progress because from 4 matches in all competitions Union Berlin can gets 2 wins in all competitions but the match against Freiburg will being an hard match for them because Freiburg was quite strong during playing at their home

Talking about this match recently i have checked the odds between these teams and i can see it that the bookmakers was placed Freiburg as the favourite but i think it's normal because Freiburg performance was more stable compared to Union Berlin and at Europa league too Freiburg can playing consistent and qualified to play off matches and i haven't checked the squad conditions but if there is no key players from Freiburg who got injured and no suspension players i think they can able to overcomes Union Berlin

Odds for Freiburg in this match are 2.12 and for 3.40 for Union. But this is quite reasonable in my opinion if you look at the situation between these two clubs. At least there are several reasons that make Freiburg slightly favored in this match.
First is the condition of the two clubs which has a significant difference
.
We know that for the problem of dark horse clubs Freiburg and Union are 2 clubs that have always defeated big clubs in the Bundesliga title in the previous few seasons but for now Union is not like them last season which makes the matches they always do end in defeat so it is quite natural for now Freiburg are still favorites because their performance is better than Union.

In addition, Freiburg also has a home status, so it is clear that the advantages of playing at home can be used well in this case so that this is an advantage again for Freiburg, it's just that there are interesting facts in my opinion in this match because looking at the h2h of their last 3 matches, Union is still superior with 2 wins and 1 defeat its just that in the last 3 matches the goals scored in 1 match were not less than 5 goals, hopefully there will be the same surprise this season.

The thing about Xabi Alonso is that he has done great at Leverkusen, which is why everyone highly regards him and he deserves all of that right now. But being the manager of a huge club is not easy, being expected to win nothing and do more than you should is a great feeling and makes you regarded highly, however being expected to win anyway, means that if you win then that was already expected, and if you lose that would be terrible.

Do imagine him getting the spot after Ancelotti, he would be managing Real Madrid, if he wins the league, that was already expected, Real is a team that should win the league anyway, and if he loses, second place is not uncommon, Barcelona does win time to time, but he would not be loved all that much, and at UCL he should try to win too, and if he loses anything but semi finals, then that would be terrible too. Expecting someone to do better than expected is easy when at Leverkusen, not so easy when the expectation is the title.

There were rumors about Xabi and Real Madrid being close, but now Real Madrid have extended their contract with Ancelotti and this is good news for Leverkusen as they have lost a rival to take Xabi away from them. Leverkusen will certainly keep Xabi, because he has given Leverkusen something extraordinary and to get a coach like him will be very difficult. At least they can breathe a sigh of relief with this news coming from Real Madrid and Ancelotti.

But rating their overall performance I’ll rate it mid, because this Dortmund isn’t what we know them to be and they’ve been overtaken by the likes of Leverkusen and Stuttgart, I think they need to sit up and maintain consistency.

Can't deny that Dortmund's performance in the UCL is quite good but on the other hand in the Bundesliga, they are quite bad. But even in the UCL, we don't know whether Dortmund can be that good to maintain its performance and also advance to the next qualifiers. while the competition in the UCL is much tougher track from now on than in the Bundesliga itself it should be. But unfortunately, in the Bundesliga, Dortmund is currently only in 5th position, which incidentally only entered the Europe League. So, Dortmund must really be more optimal and not waste the various opportunities that exist so that they can immediately take over 4th position at least. Dortmund's performance is really in contrast to Leverkusen, which this season is really getting better and stronger.

It seems that everyone is aware of the difference in Borussia Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga and in the champions league, yes that is a true thing. They are struggling in the Bundesliga and now they have even slipped from their usual 2nd place to 5th place by quite a distance too. That indicates that this season they have indeed experienced a significant decline which ultimately makes them unable to be in the competition for the title. Last season they almost became champions, I thought they would continue that, but instead they are now experiencing a lot of decline.

But right now things are going really badly for them about this topic. While Stuttgart and Leipzig are performing much better Dortmund will need to work much harder than this. As there is a long time to go for next round games in the Champions League Dortmund had better work on their weaknesses in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund is currently six points behind Leipzig and that is quite a lot so Dortmund will face quite a lot of difficulty in catching up, especially as the two teams above them can be said to be performing quite consistently compared to them so there is a big chance that we will see Dortmund only playing in the European leagues except for Leipzig and Stuttgart in the middle of the season experienced problems in maintaining their performance and Dortmund managed to make the improvements needed because their front line and their defense line were quite bad this season, of the top six teams in the standings they conceded the most.
After the New Year holiday, Dortmund will face three weak teams, they should be able to get 9 points to continue to maintain their chances of returning to the top four and securing a Champions League ticket.

Bundesliga top second standings automatically will be for Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, third and fourth standings seems will be place for VfB Stuttgart and RB Leipzig with both teams left one point only. Have problem for Dortmund can't return with top performance and left 6 points behind Leipzig on the fourth position standings. Dortmund performance in this season not promising yet and out from top fourth standings much problem for them how to get Champion League ticket next although their performance in Champion League most impressive get qualify to next round.
Dortmund have several easily matches after Bundesliga resume on middle January, if can take three points will not close for raising Champion League spot standings but depend on top fourth teams on impressive perform or not.

[piebeyb]

After the New Year holiday, Dortmund will face three weak teams, they should be able to get 9 points to continue to maintain their chances of returning to the top four and securing a Champions League ticket.

That was Dortmund's opportunity to get full points after experiencing bad results in the last four matches, getting three draws and one defeat, of course it was a bad result which made them have to be in 5th position, that's why they have to be able to change their position. better, at least Dortmund is in the top four to be able to get a UCL ticket next season.

I think maybe Dortmund really have to be able to divide their focus on the UCL as well as in the Bundesliga so they have to get less good results in the Bundesliga. That's why it's important to keep the players' performance in good condition so that they can at least play better in the UCL as well as in the Bundesliga, especially Against a bottom club in the Bundesliga like Darmstadt they should be able to get full points and get back on the winning track to improve their position better.

At least they can breathe a sigh of relief with this news coming from Real Madrid and Ancelotti.

Of course, many people will feel relieved by this news, even Bayer Leverkusen also feel the same way because Xabi is no longer a target for Madrid. Ancloti is a coach who is very suitable for Real Madrid and Ancloti has also been an important part since he coached a big team like Real Madrid. He is able to works together well so it is only natural that Real Madrid extends his contract because Real Madrid wants to achieve brilliant achievement with Ancloti.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen certainly doesn't want to part with Xabi because they have been very comfortable with Xabi coaching so far, if it weren't for the strategy thats Xabi maybe Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't be as consistent as it is now.

[borovichok]

After the New Year holiday, Dortmund will face three weak teams, they should be able to get 9 points to continue to maintain their chances of returning to the top four and securing a Champions League ticket.

Dortmund can easily fall back into the race since I don't see any important contenders, Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are temperamental clubs that will step down when their time comes. Borrusia Dortmund are not regarded a threat in the next 4-5 Bundesliga matches because they are unimpressive and have nothing to compete against. Edin Terzic will either make substantial purchases in the January transfer market in order to assist his club return to a competitive level. There is no time for any side to rest because everyone is focused on earning three points for their personal gain.

I think this is not in line with what Dortmund achieved in the previous season because we know that Dortmund's environment, which always sells its talented players to gain financial gain, cannot make its team continue to maintain the same performance. I don't think it's a new secret and everyone knows, so yes Dortmund will still be a strong team but not with the consistency they have been better from season to season.

Now perhaps Dortmund's target is to reach a place in the top 4 in the Bundesliga because they are no longer able to compete with Leverkusen or Bayern Munich in the standings to win the title. Moreover, Dortmund also managed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League this season, so there are only two things they can focus on this season.

Nonsense.
Another person saying that Dortmund is selling players for financial gain, you have 0 clue, seriously.
Every big sell in the last 5 years they tried to extend, but every player wanted to a "bigger" team with a bigger salary compared what Dortmund offers, yes Dortmund offered more money. So why would they do that if they want to make a profit on these players?

Of course the focus is now on getting a spot for the UCL for next season, everything else is out of reach already.

[Plaguedeath]

He is able to works together well so it is only natural that Real Madrid extends his contract because Real Madrid wants to achieve brilliant achievement with Ancloti.

Or this might create a new rumor if Brazil will make an offer to Xabi to manage Brazil's national team?

I think this is not in line with what Dortmund achieved in the previous season because we know that Dortmund's environment, which always sells its talented players to gain financial gain, cannot make its team continue to maintain the same performance. I don't think it's a new secret and everyone knows, so yes Dortmund will still be a strong team but not with the consistency they have been better from season to season.

The other teams are same, they're making money by selling their top players. Dortmund could keep the players, but this will make the players will not happy if they want to join other teams that convincing. So I guess that's how it works, if Dortmund can't get a title, they still can make money from it.

Dortmund's current status is discouraging. They're caught between points and consistency. Their recent matches? Draws and losses. The Dortmund we know is different. They must step up significantly

They face teams they should beat after New Year's. Football isn't played on paper. Dortmund must use these matches to generate momentum and points. They've done well in the Champions League, but their Bundesliga play needs improvement. As they balance the UCL and domestic league, they're wavering. If they can't finish in the top four, their UCL goals may remain dreams
