Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[snipie]

I almost always avoid betting on friendly matches which always provide unexpected surprises even though strong clubs do not provide a guarantee of victory because strong clubs will only compete with what they are or even just to try young players or players who have just recovered from injury.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Bayern Munich and Dortmund got a draw against a small club and it would look little funny to see this club playing against a weak club but only ending a draw.

Dont worry , i havnt placed any bet on this games of Dortmund and Bayern Munich , just wanted to let others know about it.
Yeah i agree its a little bit funny to see this teams playing against smaller clubs and only getting a draw out of it.

I try to follow these friendlies games to see how well the teams and whether they were playing with the main squad or trying substitutes and to see their results. I know it is just a training more than a serious game but getting a draw remain a bad result whether it was for testing the player or for other things..

In the near future, several Leverkusen players will have to leave to compete in other competitions.

Not only Leverkusen have that problem , nearly every team in the german league will have to face this that players get to there national teams for the Africa Cup.
And maybe some of them will be struggling about that.

This got me to remember what Klopp said about he will be happy if Egypt will not succeed in reaching the next round because Salah will be available for Liverpool at the moment where international players will be out of the league to compete with their nations

I don't think Kim leaving would be that much of a problem for Bayern Munich. They already got De Ligt to play as a replacement for Kim right now. Let's get real, De Ligt is a very good defender. Bayern Munich does not have many serious matches before Kim returns anyway. Even if he does not return then that would not be much of a problem as I have said before. But the thing is De Ligt is probably linked with Arsenal right now, if he leaves then that would become a problem for Bayern Munich.

Isn't it upside down? Here Kim is the one who was just brought in last summer as a replacement for De Ligt and that's why we can see De Ligt spending his time as a bench warmer. So I don't think Kim will leave, especially since he's only been at Bayern Munich for half a season and he still has a lot of work to do to strengthen the defense. Thomas Tuchel preferred to pair Kim with Upamecano and I think that is what caused the relationship between Thomas Tuchel and De Ligt to crack.

It is true that De Ligt is linked with Arsenal but that doesn't guarantee whether he agrees or not, but if there are no other options and he wants to immediately increase his playing time as a player, then De Ligt must leave for a better future. Moreover, Arsenal is also a good team and they can always be relied on.

I certainly agree with you. I think after this move, Spurs will be able to fill the void better which will be created because Son left to play in the AFC Cup. I thought Richarlison would have to fill the gap but I think Timo Werner would do better than him.

Werner is a player who has experience in the Premier League and won the Uefa Champions League. I agree with you that he was kind of unlucky in the Chelsea squad. He kind of returned to his forms after returning back to Leipzig and if he can be provided with chances he might even become the next Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspurs.

Honestly in this case I don't really want to have too big expectations for Werner when his move to Tottenham is currently.
Wener's performance to date still does not look good and indeed when he is in Leipzig now he mostly spends time on the bench and starts from there so when trying to give more hope to Werner at Tottenham when the workings of the EPL are definitely much heavier compared to the Bundesliga to be honest I still have doubts about this.
Indeed for the option he can still be given a chance at Tottenham because however at the moment Tottenham are still struggling to make a breakthrough because the pure striker in their squad is very minimal so this will sooner or later definitely interfere not to mention some of the obstacles they have when players who are used as a backbone like Son cannot play then obviously this will put even more pressure on them.
With Werner at least this can be a good option as a patch in the hope that he can play well unlike at Chelsea and Leipzig at the moment but if in the end he does not match expectations and his performance still remains the same I think that's the point we don't have to expect too much from this player.

There is still no activity on Guirassy transfer for now. But it has been only a week since the transfer window was opened. Therefore in the upcoming days we might see some offers coming for him. In the end he has a very cheap release clause which is active right now. I think there is no way he isn't getting any offers after performing this impressively.

Stuttgart need him for sure in the rest of the season as well to be able to maintain their claim for a top four position. If he leaves then they lose a lot of power which would probably result in with their finishing out of top four area too. 

[KTChampions]

Hehe. As I wrote (even before Kane’s transfer), Bayern accepted the inevitable. Sports director Freund said that the purchase of Kane was fully justified and that if Bayern finds similar multi-million dollar transfers and is confident in them, it will carry them out. After the Saudi League heavily impacted the transfer market and it became impossible to get players "for free" as Bayern used to do through their name and title guarantees, it took them a while to adjust, but now they have done it.
This is good news because otherwise it is impossible to resist the expansion of rich English clubs and remain at the required level.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Honestly, I still think that Bayern has the most potential to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. there are many factors that become my reasons for the predictions or speculations that I make. and one of them, the points you have said. we agree, this giant Bundesliga team has a very good combination of players. in terms of team depth, Bayern Munich is stronger than any other team competing in the Bundesliga. even though Leverkusen still occupies the top position in the standings, that doesn't mean Munich can't shift them. it's only a matter of time for Bayern to become top of the Bundesliga standings again. apart from that, maybe Tuchel will bring in some new ammunition to strengthen his team and patch up its weaknesses. even though I haven't followed the developments, what is certain is that Tuchel will prepare his squad to appear more fierce in the match they will play. regarding the Champions League, I haven't heard that Tuchel is targeting that trophy. but what is certain is that the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich's main target.

That is not something wrong because looking at the current conditions Bayern will definitely remain a favorite even though until now its position in the standings is still below Leverkusen but for Bayern's probability is still very high in the trophy issue.
It is not without reason because we know Bayern is the throne holder club in the domination of the trophy for the Bundesliga so it is not wrong when applying them into the top choice for the championship this season.
Leverkusen is a good club and its performance in the last 2 seasons when cared for by Xabi has increased tremendously. with the performance they are showing now it is actually quite reasonable to say Leverkusen is one of the challengers to the Bundesliga championship this season but indeed when the comparison is still Bayern in it then surely Bayern will be the first in terms of speculation.

Werner is a player who has experience in the Premier League and won the Uefa Champions League. I agree with you that he was kind of unlucky in the Chelsea squad. He kind of returned to his forms after returning back to Leipzig and if he can be provided with chances he might even become the next Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspurs.

Actually when discussing this player I think that even though the trophies he managed to get with the club he had defended were quite a lot but in terms of contribution he was one of the very weak players.
Werner was previously transformed into a player who could contribute more to one club but slowly it faded and what was felt was of course when he was at Chelsea.
I don't mind the trophies he has because it's the whole team that deserves credit but individually it's clear he's below par and we know that.
2 seasons at Chelsea with a total of 56 appearances he could only score 10 goals and for Leipzig to date he has played 35 times and has only scored 11 goals including 2 goals this season in my opinion there is nothing special about this player.
So there is no need to expect too much because in the end expectations like this will not be able to guarantee him at Tottenham if he cannot change his performance for the better.

I think Ange main goal in recruiting him is to fill the position left by Son, and then Timo will be prioritized as a cover for Son. For the time being, Son is strengthening the national team, so it is hoped that Timo can be Ange solution in rotating players on Tottenham front line.

I agree with you, that there is no need to expect much from Timo, we have seen his performance while strengthening Chelsea, his high price does not match expectations. His statistics in the first half of the season with Leipzig were also not very promising, perhaps it is quite reasonable why Leipzig management agreed to leave him on loan, reportedly Tottenham will include a permanent purchase option at the end of the season.

Apart from all that, there is a possibility that Timo career at Tottenham will improve again, his statistics could change if he can adapt well under Ange tutelage. Let's see how his second period in the Premier League goes this time, in terms of age, Timo is still at his best.

[YuginKadoya]

Timo Werner is about to be transferred by Tottenham on loan until the end of the season. Leipzig must be contented with the deal because they were already not giving much chance to him. Besides he had some injury problems on one hand as well. Werner isn't playing like in the past anymore even in the Bundesliga while wearing the shirt of his old team.

I don't know how much he can be beneficial for Tottenham honestly. Because you must remember how bad he was when he was playing for Chelsea. Of course there is no guarantee for anything yet but I just don't have big expectations.

Maybe he will be better with Tottenham and he is just on loan if Tottenham is not happy with his performance then they will surely bring him back to Leipzig again but maybe Timo Werner could be happy with Tottenham we can not say for sure and could change his way of playing in another team, well, sometimes there are players that changes their attitude or sometimes and if depends if they are happy with that team, maybe Timo Werner is like that we will not know for sure if we will not see him in action,

Is anyone here betting on the Bayern Munich vs Basel friendly match? and did your bet win or lose?
I missed betting on that match but unfortunately I saw something a little strange in that match when Bayern Munich, one of the giant teams in the bundesliga, ended in a draw against a small team from the Swiss league and even more strangely, Bayern Munich always put pressure on shooting the ball repeatedly but didn't on target but only 1 shot was able to score. Aseko Nkili managed to score while Kane wasted several opportunities.

I'm sure many people lost if they bet on yesterday's match, the draw was very bad and I'm sure Bayern Munich didn't perform optimally because it was only a friendly match.

For sure if I bet on that game I would likely lose it because I would surely go with betting for Bayern Munich, and because Basel is in the Swiss Super League and Basel is on the 11th position in standing in that league what makes Bayern Munich in making this a draw game, for sure Bayern Munich stats is great and all in this game but the defense of Basel was all they have but for sure this is the Club Friendlies so what will we expect Bayern Munich can likely be taken this game lightly,

I think Werner could succeed at Tottenham, because Ange has mode things change massively at Tottenham. I remember people, including Tottenham fans, said that most of their players were bad, but they change drastically under Ange this season. Player transfers and loan moves often bring about changes in performance and attitude, and it's reasonable to consider the possibility that a change of scenery could benefit Werner.

The fact that the move is a loan implies that there's flexibility for both parties. If Werner finds success and satisfaction with Tottenham, it could lead to a more permanent arrangement or a positive change in his playing style. He will be  the successor of Kane. Players indeed have the capacity to adapt and evolve based on the environment and the team they are a part of. A change in team dynamics, coaching style, or even the overall atmosphere can sometimes bring out the best in a player. Timo Werner may find a better fit at Tottenham.

Bayern Munich is one team that has very good player combinations, they have in the team quality and skilful players who are in their various positions performing their best. Yes there are competitions from Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a lot more competitions in the UCL but the team is capable of subduing the stress of the competitions. Tuchel has his eyes on the Bundesliga trophy and a bigger eye on the UCL trophy.

No doubt that Bayern Munich is a big team, they have many top players in their squad. But this season, Bayern Munich has a tough competitor, it is Leverkusen. Although Bayern Munich performed quite well in Bundesliga but Leverkusen is leading the table now. Leverkusen could play more consistently, they never got a defeat. Leverkusen also performed perfectly in UEL, they also never got a defeat, too. Tuchel must get difficulty to compete with Leverkusen in Bundesliga because Leverkusen is on fire this season.

Although Alonso seems as a threat with the current performance and display from Bayern Leverkusen but Tuchel who's more experienced has drafted out his plans, processes and techniques and he seems ready for any competition that awaits him. He's got a good team for himself and I believe he'd be able to be victorious in 95% of his encounters. Bayern Munich is just one good team that are a general threat to every team they're up against and they have better victory chances too.

Although Tuchel is more experienced than Xabi Alonso, it can't guarantee Bayern Munich to win the title of Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso has a great history as a player in many leagues, he must understand how to deal with the long season. As long as Leverkusen has no many injured players, Xabi Alonso is capable to lead Leverkusen to win the title of Bundesliga.

Tuchel is more experienced than Xabi Alonso but Xabi has been gaining more experience with his team and seasons. Xabi can be considered as a new version of Tuchel when Tuchel built up his coach career with Dortmund.

What Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen have been showing since the last season is very impressive and they actually are improving themselves a lot. Beating Bayern Munich in this season is harder than the last season because since the summer transfer, they got a world-class striker, Harry Kane. It is what Bayern Munich did not have last season after letting Robert Lewandowski moved to Barcelona.

I really want to see Xabi Alonso and Leverkusen win Bundesliga because the domination of Bayer Munich in the league is so boring.

I always say congratulations whenever I see them win though but how can we best watching a league that has to do with so much dominating and domination from the Champions ( Bayern Munich ) they have won more than ten times and people who are tired of seeing and watching so much of it.

They deserve to win the tittle, Bayern Leverkusen has shown a great performance in the first half, now Into the the second half let's see how they go with a case like this!
Bayern Munich are lucky they made a deal with Harry Kane, such a huge professional.

The competition is tough, Bayern Munich are just 1 point down if they won their 16th match which they probably would. The league is not through it's halfway yet. Leverkusen taking the lead for so long is a win itself and they proves Bayren Munich can be replaced even if not this time. Xabi Alonso has done an impressive job with what he have in his hands and created one of the most balanced team. He have established himself as a coach with this.

I admit that Leverkusen is really in a very strong condition this season, having never been defeated in the bundesliga or even in other competitions. but I never thought that Bayern Munich would have difficulty catching up with Leverkusen because we know that Tuchel main goal is to bring his team to a higher level to win the title in the UCL and this is what causes Munich to seem to have difficulty catching up with Leverkusen points but we shouldn't think like that because both teams there is only a difference of 4 points, while Bayern Munich match against Union Berlin was postponed so the points are a little further apart or maybe if the match had not been postponed it would have been certain that Bayern Munich would have won and only had a difference of 1 point.

from this fact, I never thought that Tuchel would find it difficult to win the bundesliga title again, although I also hope that Leverkusen will continue to be at the top of the standings, but Bayern Munich is more experienced in terms of strategy to shift first place in the standings, while Bayern Munich has very great players.
so if Bayern Munich is having difficulty reaching the top of the standings, it doesn't seem to make sense.

And so far Leverkusen is still strong with wins except for a draw which has only been experienced in 3 matches so far in the Bundesliga. It is indeed difficult when we have to favor the club that will win the title if for years the league has always been dominated by Bayern Munich and until now Bayern Munich is still chasing Leverkusen with a difference of 4 points but Bayern Munich still has 1 match remaining, but if Bayern Munich fails to take advantage of the remaining matches then the gap with Leverkusen is a little big but still Bayern Munich can still catch it so Xabi Alonso must really focus on building so that the club's performance does not slip. Many Bayern Munich fans want Leverkusen to slip and their favorite club to return to the top position and win the title.

Yes, in this first round Leverkusen should be appreciated for his success in bringing Leverkusen through without defeat, he is truly an extraordinary manager in building an ordinary club into an extraordinary one, of course many want Leverkusen to break Bayern Munich's dominance. So that the league becomes more competitive.

Thomas Tuchel was eyeing another title this season but it seems it would be really difficult for them because they have Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen in the picture. We know the top contenders that would become headache for Bayern Munich and they will compete with Leverkusen for the title long run this season. The Bundesliga is tough but in the hands of Bayern Munich, alot of things doesn't go as planned because they're elite club and have grown to become fierce and dominating against their opponents. Bayern Munich have turned the Bundesliga title their heritage and over the years, alot of things have always been favorable for the path of title race.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

In friendly matches, sometimes a team will not appear with their main players because the coaches of course give rest time to their main players to maintain the players' fitness and also avoid injuries during friendly matches. So it is not uncommon for coaches to play second tier players to give them playing minutes and also be able to monitor their improvement in quality. Yes, I agree with you that in friendly matches it is wiser not to place bets because the opposing team may perform better than them.

I think some people are sometimes able to read the conditions in terms of the game that will be arranged by the coach so that they will be ready to try their luck in the bets they place. Well, even though sometimes the odds are very attractive, I don't think that's a strong reference for betting on friendly matches if doubts surround our feelings.

That also depends on the level of gambling activity carried out by a person and most people prefer to place bets on official matches compared to friendly matches, but it is also not uncommon for people to use friendly matches to gamble. Rotation needs to be carried out in friendly matches so that young players have the opportunity to make their debut and coaches can also see the development of young players to be included in the first team in turn. That's why friendly matches are an opportunity for young players to show their abilities and perhaps it is appropriate for coaches to do that.

Gamblers have their own views when they place a bet, especially if the game is unbalanced, so after they analyze the match they decide to place a bet or not. Making predictions about an unbalanced match may be much easier because one knows who will win. Therefore, it is important to see who the opponent we are placing a bet on is because we will have an insight into the outcome of the match.

In terms of reputation and player quality, this tournament does not have any club worthy of Bayern Munich. They have the finances to recruit quality players. This season, they brought in Europe's top striker, Kane, with the ambition to win the Champions League. Not simply for this tournament, because it is almost destined to belong to them.

Bayer Leverkusen is completely transforming under coach Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen is like a European football phenomenon this season. They are truly a team that rose from a collective effort. They have no stars, but their coach, Xabi Alonso, is talented. After more than a year in charge at Leverkusen, coach Alonso has surprised everyone with the club's achievements despite a difficult start with a series of 6 matches without a win from the penultimate position of the Bundesliga rankings. Now, Xabi Alonso has turned Leverkusen into an unbeatable team.

Xabi Alonso has done an impressive job with what he have in his hands and created one of the most balanced team. He have established himself as a coach with this.

Xabi Alonso has proven he's ready to contend Bayern Munich and possibly end their dominance and possibly win the league title this season and not only is Leverkusen trying to displace Bayern Munich but other teams such as Stuttgart are also looking forward to topping the table and win the league too aswell.

Bayern Munich has got a really experienced coach and so Leverkusen should be weary of not loosing a point because if they do at this point Bayern Munich will stop at nothing to getting back at the top of the table and reclaiming back their dominance in the Bundesliga this season which I'm sure is one of their greatest wishes this season. If Bayern Munich wins their next match, they will be a point behind Leverkusen as they are currently four points behind and if Leverkusen is able to win their next match, they will be able to maintaining the margin between the.and Bayern Munich only that Munich is still goals ahead.
