Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Docnaster]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Champions League ticket is made the top priority of every club that makes top four. 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.

Last season they almost became champions, I thought they would continue that, but instead they are now experiencing a lot of decline.

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

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.

Indeed, the first and second positions will likely be achieved by Leverkusen and Bayern Munich at the end of this season. The reason is, Leverkusen performance is very impressive, they look so consistent. Meanwhile, there is no doubt in Bayern Munich performance I think they will be consistent until the end. But I also don't know which team will win the title, whether it's Leverkusen or Bayern Munich but I hope Leverkusen can get it.
In my opinion, the third and fourth positions can still change, considering we still have 18 games ahead. Dortmund, although not very promising so far this season, but they has the experience of ending the season in the top four. Also, a difference of 6 points is not too big at all, and I'm sure Dortmund still have big potential to catch top four.

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.

I also think so, where Leverkusen can be calmer with Xabi for the next few seasons and maximize his current ideal situation to continue maintaining his winning trend in the Bundesliga. Don't let Leverkusen lose Xabi too quickly because this season they are enjoying victory after victory. It would be very detrimental for Leverkusen if they had to let Xabi go to Madrid. For Madrid itself, this decision is also the right decision, the chemistry between Ancelotti and Madrid is still irreplaceable.

btw, Bayern Munich has 1 match remaining which they must win to continue to narrow the point difference with Leverkusen. Against Hoffenheim it could be said that it was quite difficult for Tuchel to overcome because his opponent also needed this win to occupy 5th place.

I really doubt Dortmund's consistency this season and also their strength is not that strong compared to last season, especially as Leipzig, Leverkusen and Bayern Munich have more strength than them so it is possible that Dortmund will not be able to finish above them.
For this season, I am sure that only Bayern and Leverkusen will compete fiercely in the fight for the Bundeliga title until the end of the season.

No doubt that even jose has been also telling us the club if xabi will become another great coach in the future. The ability to push the relegation team to perform like the winning team is so amazing.
It's rarely owned by any coaches in the football.

I remember hearing how much Jose Mourinho could be said to admire this young coach and predicted that he would become one of the successful coaches in the future, considering that he played in several clubs coached by quite successful coaches so that Xabi Alonso could be said to be quite rich in strategy and we can see how he was able to bring his squad so far into a team that is very consistent and can quickly recover when they experience unfavorable results such as a draw so that they become a team that can always ensure themselves to get points. After successfully holding strong opponents Bayern Munich and Stuttgart to a draw, in the eighteenth week they will face Leipzig. If Bayer Leverkusen can face this tough match well, Bayer Leverkusen will have more opportunities to become Bundesliga champions.

But indeed, from the information I got, at least Bayer Leverkusen will not stop Xabi Alonso from leaving and with a statement like that, it is very possible that Xabi Alonso will leave at the end of the season and the strong issue is coaching Real Madrid because Ancelotti is certain to leave too . Thus, it is appropriate for Bayer Leverkusen to maximize the moments this season to win trophies.

Indeed, getting a trophy is not easy because it requires high consistency . But ya, at least because so far in the first half of the season Bayer Leverkusen have managed to go unbeaten . So ya, with great results like that, it is an obligation for Bayer Leverkusen to be able to maintain its good performance, of course to maintain its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end of this season.

Xabi Alonso is indeed proving to be a very good coach. His results with his team are saying it all. I mean look at the Bundesliga table, he is still undefeated and that broke a Bundesliga record. And top of that they are ahead of a team like Bayern Munich which usually dominated the Bundesliga. So it is very clear that he is doing very very good and has the potential to become a very good coach. But I still think it is too early for him to join a big club like Real Madrid. The chance of him to coaching his old club has gone.


Carlo Ancelotti is not certain to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. It is not certain yet @hahay. These are still rumors and no one can say it 100% done. I would like to see Xabi staying at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season and grow then join a big club.

Xabi will stay in leverkusen till a few years later. There's no need to talk about the chance of him to go to the real madrid caused by the latest announcement from real madrid has answered it all. So, all of speculations about madrid to sign the new coach becomes obsolete. It's caused by real madrid was not willing to change its coach. The club still stands for ancellotti to stay much longer as a coach. There was no worthy coach to replace him in real madrid. Ancellotti was the only one who is consistently building madrid from nothing to something.

Xabi needs to put all of his focus on how to make leverkusen to be even stronger than before, bundesliga trophy has become the main target owned by leverkusen at this moment. Let xabi cook on leverkusen then makes it becomes the winner of bundesliga this season.
We do really need a team that will able to break the consistency of bayern in winning the competition.

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. 

Union Berlin last season were testifyingly better than they are now. They were threatening and even at the earliest part of this season, they still had that tempo high. Weeks ago, they hosted Madrid and they were able to prove their toughness too but it didn't really get them anywhere higher. Their UCL journey was quite worthwhile for them no doubt and even if they didn't really win all of their encounters, they managed to make an impactful performance in every game.

 Now they'd be onto the domestic league race and on the standings, they're just a point out of the relegation zone and they've got work to do in ensuring that they don't decline in performance or points too. They'll be facing Freiburg away from home, according to records, both teams are more or less on thesame range with the fact of being big team defeaters in past times even though Freiburg currently are higher chances to winning the game. Although Freiburg are the host and so they've got the upper hand, but we hope to see the outcome of the game.
