Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[fullhdpixel]

Although Leipzig lost to Frankfurt, we cannot assume that they are not a strong team. Leipzig are not weak, and I won't be shocked if they defeat Bayern Leverkusen because they can win with their current players. Bayern Leverkusen, still have a chance to win the match, because they haven't lost to any team since the start of the season. We can see if they are going to maintain their unbeaten record in their coming game.

After the break they have first lost at home which is surely important for their progress but still they are having one of the best team in Bundesliga and their performance against top teams are also reasonable which can bring them to good spot Bayer Leverkusen is also team to watch for the season, so this could be big game for the both clubs, but Bayern Munich could be the biggest beneficiary in case of win for Leipzig because they will overtake leaders and having good chance for the another title even nothing is predictable because in this season we have good challenging matches at the top of league table and few teams are now trying to regroup themselves for the staying into hunt for their Champions League spot which is not easy for any team.

Yes, it's true that so far they haven't been defeated, but the difficulty of getting a goal against Augsburg last week almost made Leverkusen frustrated during the 90 minutes of the match, obviously they also didn't want to lose points and share points with Augsburg but were lucky in the last minute Leverkusen was able to score a goal so they helped and got the full three points, after that against Leipzig this week it was not an easy thing because we all know that in their meeting in the 1st week playing at home Leverkusen won 3 - 2 against Leipzig, they put up tight resistance and made it quite difficult .

Leipzig will play as host this week, of course it will be a tough challenge for Leverkusen, because Xabi Alonso must be able to evaluate the shortcomings that occurred last week against Augsburg which made the Leverkusen players a little frustrated, of course Leipzig will prevent Leverkusen from getting full points from match later, but I'm sure Leverkusen also doesn't want a draw and share points with Leipzig.

Xabi Alonso must prepare a different strategy to face Leipzig and pressure his team to play optimally, because if they want to win the title this season they must not make mistakes and stay on the winning track and cannot lose points. Munich is always ready to overtake them at the top of the standings at any time.

Achieving victory in the final minute provided a very different kind of pleasure, Leverkusen with all their luck managed to secure full points after 90 minutes of normal time. Their unbeaten record continues, various appreciations and flashbacks to their history have now become a hot topic of conversation in the media, questioning how far Xabi Alonso can go in bringing Leverkusen to stay in top form. Finishing a season undefeated is not impossible, we know that several European clubs have done it, such as Arsenal in the EPL, and AC Milan in Serie A.

At the weekend Leipzig will again test their endurance, mentality and put pressure on Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso has certainly evaluated his squad, he doesn't want his club to win in extra time like in the match against Augsburg, that's too risky but can be understood because several of his mainstay players are absent. Statistically Leverkusen deserves and really deserves to be at the top, but Leipzig will test the limits of Leverkusen abilities for the second time this season, I don't think Leipzig will be able to get revenge this time.

Augsburg really tried to put up a good fight to get points against Leverkusen in that match, but unfortunately Augsburg had to give up because Leverkusen, who kept trying to look for opportunities, finally managed to score a goal and win. It was an expected victory for Leverkusen considering that Augsburg looked busy defending completely, but it is true that Leverkusen took a long time to overthrow Augsburg who were playing at home.

This season, Leverkusen is a team that is unbeaten in the Bundesliga in the last 17 matches. Right now Leverkusen has created a 4 point gap with Bayern Munich, but considering that Bayern Munich has one game in hand, Bayern Munich will probably only be 1 point behind Leverkusen. The next match is difficult for Leverkusen, while Bayern Munich has an easy match against Bremen.

To be honest i think that match was one of their hardest this season and Xabi Alonso would had really cracked his brains to make sure he gets 3 points from the game, if you observed very well you'll see that they were very dominant and passive but luck wasn't on their side when it comes to finding the back of the net. It took them about 24 shots with 6 on target just to score a lucky goal that gave them the 3 points, Augsburg would had exposed their wickness if they had won or drawn Leverkusen, but the constant pressure from Leverkusen caused them to give up at last.

 I think Leverkusen should use this game as an eye opener for the outcome of their upcoming fixtures if they don't cover some of their errors, other teams might begin to come up with a pattern of beating them and ending the unbeaten record they've kept this season. Leipzig is a team they shouldn't take chances with, cause they could  be more dangerous than Augsburg.

The future challenge faced by Leverkusen when facing Leipzig is the absence of several of their key players, Xabi Alonso lost five players due to injury and is strengthening the national team. The match against Leipzig also looks like it will be tough for them, but I think Xabi will emphasize his players to score quickly, because we know Leipzig is tougher than Augsburg, hoping they let their guard down in the last minute is not a good strategy, and I feel that in the match Leverkusen yesterday Xabi fleet was lucky to secure full points. Leipzig is of course very ambitious to break Leverkusen unbeaten record, especially since they will have the ambition to avenge the first leg.

Acting as host certainly gives Leipzig a good sense of confidence, because it gets full support from its own supporters. However, in their previous match Leipzig lost points after being beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt, if Xabi can explore their weaknesses like Frankfurt did, I think Leverkusen will re-affirm their position in the standings. Leipzig will certainly try their best to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, because Dortmund has the potential to overtake them because they are only 3 points behind at the moment. Personally I have a tendency that Leverkusen will win the match, but we'll see how the match ends.

In the next five matches, Leverkusen will face its toughest challenge. If Xabi can make his squad stable and consistent then their chances of winning a trophy will be even greater. Maybe it wouldn't be wrong to call the January to February period a reference for Leverkusen peak performance, I think Xabi and his fleet can conquer the various challenges that lie ahead. In the end, Laverkusen consistency has put pressure on Bayern Munchen for a long time, half of the season has passed for Bayern with Laverkusen leading the standings. The competition will get hotter when Bayern has finished the postponed match against Union Berlin, because Tuchel fleet has the opportunity to cut the gap with Leverkusen to 1 point.

I wouldn’t say that match was the hardest or most difficult match for Bayern Leverkusen, the game against Bayern Munich is actually the toughest they have had last season. The game against Augsburg was just a real of resilience, it was the first game after the winter break and everyone will definitely be relaxed and that’s why the players were a bit down in the game. This weekend game against Leipzig is definitely part of those games that will be a tittle decider, Leipzig have cemented there status as a top club since they got promoted to the Bundesliga and they can beat just any team. Throughout this season I have been confident in almost all the game Bayer Leverkusen had played but this one is just so unpredictable.

The injury to Boniface is definitely a huge blow to them although even if he wasn’t injured he will still be on AFCON duties so it was already known that he will miss this game. Still they have a strike problem because the second option is which is Patrick Shick seems to be way out of form at the moment. I could remember when Shick was at the top of his game, right now they will definitely need that old Shick back. Dropping points this January wouldn’t be a good start for them seriously but I still predict they will win because Xabi Alonso always comes out with some plans

[Leviathan.007]

This season anyone who faces Leverkusen must have a higher spirit to be able to beat the team that has not been defeated until week 17. Playing at home is an advantage for Leipzig, yes one of them is a team that can be strong when playing at home. This will be a very interesting match and I am sure they will present a game that is easy to watch. Playing defense is not a good choice for Leipzig because they need goals to win, as well as Leverkusen, they will appear to attack to be able to maintain their winning record and also maintain their position in the standings. I think these two teams will be able to score goals, and a draw is a great opportunity in this match.

In last game we have some hard work needed Bayer Leverkusen for having full 3 points and things were not favourable specially after break but still they have done good job and achieve their target which is good but now as we are in second half and Bayer Munich is looking for their best with title into their mind, so both teams will be tried their best and Bayer Leverkusen is surely having match which is going to give indicator can they win title, or they will break deadlock and have lost of points it is big game which will decide about how things will be in last this half of the season.

RB Leipzig is one of the toughest side even they lost their first game after break but still they can do their best for staying into better spot with Dortmund and Stuttgart are also doing good and things will be not easy for these teams which are at the top and also have fair chance for replacing opponents.

Bayer Leverkusen got the full three points from the last game and that's the only thing that matters regardless of what happened in the game or how hard they tried for it but they did it.
I think Bayer Leverkusen still is going to beat Leipzig in the next game however this match won't be easy for them since we are going to see a game between two teams at the top of the Budesliga table.

The match against Augsburg looked indeed so hard for Leverkusen to build their gameplan, but Xabi Alonso was able to strategize extensively to secure the three points suggests the intensity of the encounter. Augsburg looked able to expose Leverkusen's weaknesses, but unluckily they losed the game against them that emphasizes the fine margins in football.

Leverkusen surely have become a team to be anticipated by many teams. Xabi Alonso should have various solutions for the upcoming fixtures that might pose similar challenges, because it's crucial for maintaining their unbeaten record. It would surely be harder to face Leipzig, because they are adangerous opponent. It needs a cautious approach with an awareness of the potential threats from other formidable teams.

Leverkusen needs to be strong in the next game against Leipzig, because the both teams will want to win. Leverkusen needs to win in order to continue battling with Bayern Munich for the league title. Leipzig, on the other hand, needs to win the match to avoid dropping back from the top four of the league table, Leipzig is ahead of Dortmund with three points, they will do anything to maintain the position, the match will be difficult Leverkusen to win because Leipzig is not a weak team, I want Leverkusen to win the match so they can break Bayern Munich record this season by winning the title.

Leverkusen is currently improving its performance and we cannot deny that their excellent consistency has still kept them in first place for quite a long period of time. However, we also admit that Leipzig is not an easy opponent to beat, and is indeed considered a top club in the Bundesliga, although recently, its performance has not been that optimal and has only experienced defeats and draws that could actually be optimized.

However, we will not know whether Leipzig's performance against Leverkusen will be the same as yesterday or whether their progress will actually improve. So, in this case, Leverkusen must be quite careful. both of them certainly dream of victory. However, the final result will really depend on how the coach makes tactics and the players compete on the field later. However, I personally think that Leverkusen will lead and win the match.

Tough game roughly played with so much eagerness and desire to win, you could see those lads pressing and exchanging the ball quickly so they could open down spaces and break the walls of Jericho set and built solid by the defense if Augsburg.
The wait, fight and patience was worth it finally at the end of the game.

It's feels good to see how they have also started the second half of this season with a win, they shouldn't slack ahead because they will be seeing the game go hard.

I'm not happy they're not making plans to at least get a player for backup! Could be that the manager or management has no such plans, I don't know!

Bayer Leverkusen leading till this very moment and they're still unbeaten in league matches. Unbelievable to watch the incredible work triggered by the unity of Leverkusen players and the coach takes the higher portion because he's the main reason Leverkusen is where they're today. Xabi Alonso have really gone extra length and measures to watch the prosperity of the club. Before we would be seeing Bayern Munich ans Borrusia Dortmund but things do changes and this time we're watching Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title race, how time flies.

Leverkusen is currently still quite consistent and their performance has not decreased so I think they might be able to beat Leipzig even though they have to fight harder because the opponent is quite tough, Leipzig is not an easy club to beat because as you said, Leipzig is an elite club. Bundesliga from season to season and Leipzig's performance is also not too bad so Leverkusen must be careful in this match to achieve the expected results.

I think Leipzig's performance is a little different because this will be held at Leipzig headquarters. Of course Leipzig is at an advantage and home strength makes Leipzig much stronger, but Leverkusen is also strong in the away game so Leipzig cannot underestimate their opponent in this match and the two teams will fight fierce in winning, I am very curious about Leverkusen performance without its mainstay striker and against Leipzig, will Xabi Alonso be able to maintain his club consistency in this match because Bayern Munich is really waiting for Leverkusen to slip up.

[bering]

After the loses against Mönchengladbach Stuttgart will facing Bochum this weekend and on the paper this should be easy match because at the beginning of this season both teams has been met and at that time Stuttgart can win with big scores 5-0 and Stuttgart conditions doesn't really good recently because they only got 2 wins from 5 latest matches in Bundesliga moreover losing some players just like Guirassy makes them in the difficult situation so if Stuttgart failed to win again from this match then their position will be overtaked by Leipzig if this team win from Leverkusen

Bochum has interesting records at their home because from 8 home matches total they got 5 draw and only lost once so these records is proven Bochum at home was hard to defeated so although from recent performance and the position on league standings Stuttgart was more better but i think Bochum had a potention to make Stuttgart get in trouble especially just like i said before Stuttgart will playing without their main striker Guirassy so my prediction is Stuttgart will be very difficult to scores and i think big possibility this match will ended to draw

Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again. In general, Bochum is not a very strong opponent, but sometimes this team also performs well when facing quite strong opponents, especially being at home makes them get additional energy from the fans.

I think Stuttgart without Guirassy is just an ordinary team and that cannot be allowed because they have worked hard to reach this level and compete at the top with other strong teams. So what I hope is that they can quickly forget their previous defeat against Gladbach and step back to win against Bochum later. I turned away from your prediction and my prediction is not that complicated, winning by just one goal is already a blessing for Stuttgart with the reduced strength in their attack line.

[Blitzboy]

True, Leipzig is one of a strong team when they play at home.
In this season they only lost once in 8 games at home, even Bayern and Stuttgart are not able to get 3 points there.

It will be interesting to watch this match, there must be many goals because Leverkusen will play attacking and Leipzig is good with counterattack.
Also Leverkusen will host Bayern on Feb 11th, a very very important match for both sides.

For Leipzig, the opponents in this week's match must also be considered tough because Bayer Leverkusen also often carry out deadly attacks which will make it difficult for any home team to create a good defense. I also think that their match this week will be quite interesting because considering that both of them are very good teams this season and are also both in the UCL zone so it is quite possible that the match will look fierce and tough.

Honestly, I'm super hyped for this Leipzig vs Leverkusen match. From what I've seen, Leipzig is a beast at home, and Leverkusen, even without Boniface, isnt a team to underestimate. They managed to control the game against Augsburg, but Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena is a whole different challenge. I reckon Xabi Alonso's got his work cut out for him, especially considering Leipzig's thirst for revenge after their last defeat to Leverkusen. This clash has "epic" written all over it. Both teams are gunning for those crucial UCL spots, and with the kind of form they're in, its anyone's game. Cant wait to see how this plays out!

Considering the home record of RB Leipzig since the start of the season, playing against them in their own home ground is actually one of the toughest games any team in the German Bundesliga can play in and against Bayer Leverkusen, I also expect  the very strong game. The rate of media hypes and preview of the game alone tells how strong it promises to be when the two German clubs meet on Saturday.

That being said, I'm still backing the away team Bayer Leverkusen to grab all three points from the game despite the fact that they'll not be playing the match with their top goalscorer this season Victor Boniface.

Before we would be seeing Bayern Munich ans Borrusia Dortmund but things do changes and this time we're watching Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title race, how time flies.

Time feels so fast that we don't realize that Leverkusen has become an extraordinary team this season and thanks to Xabi Alonso as coach Leverkusen can reach the level of competing for the Bundesliga title. With the current Leverkusen squad, Xabi Alonso has turned him into a very dangerous player and in almost all positions there is no weakness at all. But the time will come, including Leverkusen and maybe they will start to experience a decline in performance at the end of the season and if that happens, Bayern Munich will be the team that will benefit again like what they experienced last season when they managed to get rid of Dortmund.

[Velvet78]

Leverkusen and Bayern Munich just continue on their way strongly. Bayern Munich really need to win their absent game to follow their opponent more closely. I'm hoping to see Xabi Alonso maintaining this performance to become the champions at the end.  

These clubs were getting good result but leverkusen seems quite struggling to beat augburg. I know that if augsburg was a strong club, and this is the main problem. Bayern munich has been beating its opponent with huge margins which was showing the capability of bayern to win the competition.
Leverkusen needs to increase its performance. The attacking line has been so wasteful against augsburg and this is the fact. It's hard to remove the image if leverkusen was so struggling to beat augsburg in the last match.

Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well. 

Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible.

The match will be easy for Stuttgart when competing against Bochum but if you fight Leipzig it seems it will be very difficult to get a victory even without Guirassy is big problem for Stuttgart because the player is one of the players who is very relying on no other player who can replace his position and If in the Bochum match, Stuttgart still gets defeat, I think the hope of surviving in position 3 is very thin.
Guirassy is indeed very influential on Stuttgart future, even though he will be competing against clubs that are far below him, but without Guirassy presence, Stuttgart will not be able to become a strong club and on the one hand, Guirassy absence will be a big disaster. If he doesn't appear immediately, maybe Stuttgart will have to experience successive defeats. because next you also have to face Leipzig, which is one of the strongest clubs at the moment and it looks like Stuttgart will experience consecutive defeats.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I believe that it's definitely got a great ring to it and I think they are still beating everyone they should, waiting for Bayern to be the first one to make a mistake. I know that it doesn't look that great at the time, but it does look like it is going to be quite great for them. I hope that they do not lose or get a draw before Bayern does, after Bayern does end up losing points somewhere, I would feel more comfortable with Leverkusen losing points somewhere as well, that would be fine, they won't lose position.

Leverkusen were still able to survive without losing or drawing in this match, even though they played a little more under pressure like usual and were lucky to score a goal in the extra minute, thereby avoiding a draw and keeping them at the top of the standings But I think Xabi Alonso should have an option when the game is much more difficult because without a goal will make them lose full points.

This concern is justified because if they experience a draw in the next match it will make Bayern Munich's position very profitable. Moreover, the difference in points is only one after Bayern Munich plays their 17th match and Xabi Alonso must be careful so that they are not displaced as the top of the standings.

The match will be easy for Stuttgart when competing against Bochum but if you fight Leipzig it seems it will be very difficult to get a victory even without Guirassy is a big problem for Stuttgart because the player is one of the players who is very relying on no other player who can replace his position and If in the Bochum match, Stuttgart still gets defeat, I think the hope of surviving in position 3 is very thin.

Although Stuttgart's performances have been erratic in the last  few matches, this team is much stronger  than Bochum. Stuttgart is now third in the points table. Bochum on the other  hand have won only 3 matches this season. This team is in the 14th position of the points table. And Bochum's defense is very weak.

Without Serhou Guirassy, it will be a bit  difficult for Stuttgart to score. Serhou  Guirassy is an excellent player. He scored 17 goals and 1 assist in 14 matches. However, since Bochum's defense is not strong, the team has conceded 34 goals in 17 matches. So I will put Stuttgart ahead in this match. Stuttgart will be able to get 3 points in this match.
