Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Lykslyks]

We wouldn't be wrong if we say that the winning team will be relieved. The winning team will have won an important victory. Therefore, I think we would not be wrong if we say that it will be a match that will affect the rest of the season. It's a very important match. Even though the season will continue, the result of this match will have important consequences for the championship.

Certainly, this season if Bayer Leverkusen manages to take this championship Bayern Munich now only has 2 points to take the 1st position from Bayer Leverkusen because this is the real deal now on February 11, we will see a spectacular match-up between Bayern Munich VS Bayer Leverkusen as they will now cut their throat at each other this is going to be an interesting match and this is going to settle who is the best as if the match ended with a Draw they Bayer Leverkusen is still in the top, if Bayern Munich win this one they will reclaim their spot and will have a chance to be champion again, but if Bayer Leverkusen win this then we will surely have a new champion this season,

This is like the clasico of the Bundesliga this season

But in this specific situation in the Bundesliga I strongly agree that this game could have an enormous impact on the outcome of the whole season. Nothing would be won or lost if Bayer Leverkusen loses or ties the game, but if Bayer Leverkusen wins the game, I think it would release such a strong momentum for all the games to come that Bayern might not be able to stop Leverkusen anymore.

The effect would be two-fold. It would push Leverkusen further to keep winning their games while media and the club would go crazy when Bayern loses this game. Tuchel would be stressed again and there would be a lot of turmoil.

This game will surely say that Bayern Munich really is champion material as if they are worthy of this season's championship, I really like to make a bet for that but that would be a game that will be pretty hard to predict, and as you said Bayern Munich would badly need this win if they don't want Thomas Tuchel to be stressed and have a heart attack as he wants to leave Bayern Munich because the club is stressing him out so badly that is why he just wants to quit Bayern Munich and go with Barcelona maybe to take a break,

If next week when Bayern Leverkusen play at home to host Bayern Munich win. maybe the German Bundesliga championship race is over. most likely Leverkusen can win it even though they can't lock the championship because there are still many matches. but it can be said that the mentality will rise dramatically. while Munich mentally will drop in addition to the point difference also being away.

It was quite an interesting match this weekend considering that both of them are very close at the top of the standings and are also trying to win the title this season. And if in that match Bayer Leverkusen manages to widen its points gap with Bayern Munich, of course Bayern Munich will find it quite difficult to catch back points from Leverkusen unless Leverkusen can get defeats or draw more in the remaining matches this season. However, for occasional matches, of course the Leverkusen team will try their best to win because they remember that their opponent is the best team in the Bundesliga.

These two teams are indeed strong candidates in the title race, but we cannot yet conclude who will be the best. Bayer Leverkusen was indeed able to perform impressively under the control of Xabi Alonso but Tuchel also didn't want to be embarrassed. The match between these two teams will indeed be a very crucial match, but the result of the match will not ensure the title. What is clear is that I really support Leverkusen to be successful this season for the sake of a better Bundesliga reputation.

[dezoel]

I wouldn't call them not letting anyone take the title from them, it is just an inconsistent performance from their competitors that allows them to win back points. Their closest rival Dortmund for example, always bottles their title charge near the season's end iirc. I don't know what factors affect their performance, but mentality must be one of them. I don't know what Leverkusen players' mentality is. Still, if they play without thinking about useless stuff they should be able to provide better challenges until the end of the season. At the very least, they are not Dortmund with their historic disappointing second-half results. CMIIW.

But it looks like, Bayer Leverkusen will also have the same fate as Dortmund who failed to maintain their top position in the Bundesliga . Indeed, Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten record throughout this season is a big surprise, because Xabi managed to provide new history for Bayer Leverkusen. But ya, the fact remains, that the position of Bayer Leverkusen is still likely to be taken over by Bayern Munich . Because ya, at this moment the points gap between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is only 2 points and therefore, I think it is clear that Bayern Munich still has a very good chance of still getting the Bundesliga trophy this season.

I agree partially because both management are having completely different mind-sets with Bayer Leverkusen record of undefeated is also impressive in this season and now on Saturday we are going to have match which will give all view how things will be gone in rest of this season if we have won for the Bayer Leverkusen then surely we will have no chance for the Bayern Munich because Bayer Leverkusen will be at the top and their 5 points difference will be give them good confident for staying at the top but in case of draw or lost then surely things will be tricky until last game day.

Bayer Leverkusen management is doing good work with Xabi Alonso, and they are also not investing huge funds like we have few other clubs which is also another strong thing happening and if they are going to win then surely this could be one of the best master class from both parties Xabi Alonso and management.

Leipzig has lost 3 matches in a row and they have not been able to win a single match in the last 4 matches. So they are definitely struggling. But they will look at this match as a way of getting back into form and this match is going to be essential for them to actually get close to Dortmund. If they can win this match they will be only one point behind Dortmund.

So this is a great chance for them to get 3 points and get back in form. Union Berlin has been really inconsistent and I don't think it is going to be a good idea to trust them right now. But I believe this match can go either way because both teams have been pretty bad recently. I also won't trust Leipzig at this moment, to be honest.

Leipzig lost a lot of points to stay in the race for the top three and the inconsistency of the game they showed meant that a number of opportunities were lost in vain. Even though they managed to beat Union Berlin with a score of 2-0, Leipzig's position was still below Dortmund because they had a difference of one point. If Leipzig is not able to play much better then it is quite worrying that they will finish this season below the top five in the standings so they will not qualify for the Champions League.

Union Berlin is also experiencing setbacks and they are having difficulty getting wins, currently Union Berlin's position is quite at risk of relegation and if their performance does not change it will be very dangerous. Two points above Klon in the bottom third of the standings and this shows that their position is not secure until the end of the season, especially if they show no changes in the future.

Leipzig was able to win the match against Union Berlin. And I will have to say that they have definitely played a convincing match. The match was dominated by Leipzig. They did not give Union Berlin any chance. It almost looked like Union Berlin was not on the same level as them. That's how good they played.

But at the same time that does not mean Leipzig has fixed all their problems. After three consecutive losses, they were able to win one match. I think this is going to give them confidence and the next matches are also not very hard for Leipzig. So I think they will be able to get another win in the next match.

Yes, Leipzig has lost a lot of points in the last few matches. Leipzig has experienced 3 consecutive defeats, 1 draw and 1 win, where Leipzig has lost 11 points. Therefore Leipzig is quite far behind the top 3 clubs. Even though Leipzig still has the opportunity to occupy the top 3 rankings its performance Leipzig's is are still quite doubtful and unstable, but at least Leipzig can break the series of bad results in the last few matches by winning the match against Union Berlin in week 20.

Union Berlin not only experienced a slight setback but experienced a very drastic decline, in fact I didn't expected Union Berlin to experience a very bad season this season because last season Union Berlin was ranked in the top 4, while this season Union Berlin had to fight to avoid the relegation zone because his current position is very insecure with clubs that are in the relegation zone because he is currently rankings 15th out of 18 clubs.

Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their last encounter they've been to a reasonable extent better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities. Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league.

 Leipzig does have a big chance against teams in the league and their victory in the coming games won't be surprising because they're the stronger team. Not withstanding, these teams should be able to play not forgetting that they still have games left for a couple of weeks in the league too and there shouldn't be resilience. They'll be facing who are in 13th position on the standings, in their next fixture. Augsburg might be very distant from them, on the standings, however they're not a team to be underestimated.

[Jaycoinz]

If Leverkusen can be able to hold on and get a point against Munich, then they can go the complete season unbeaten, and their chance of winning of getting point against Bayern Munich is high because they collected four points against Bayern Munich last season.

That will definitely be Leverkusen's next target against Bayern Munich and in fact they know that winning against Bayern Munich is quite difficult. The first meeting against Bayern Munich only ended in a draw and it is possible that in this second meeting the result will still be the same. But it is quite worrying if Bayern Munich wins and at that time Leverkusen will start to be overtaken.

Even being on top of the league, Bayern Leverkusen will be feeling all the pressure because it's better to chase someone at the top of the table than being chase because only the pressure and demand to be consistent can make you flop so I think Bayern Leverkusen will have to be at their very best if they do want to actually salvage this season bundesLiga title and believe me it would be nice to see Another team win this other than the normal winners of the league and I just hope Leverkusen doesn't fall to the pressure like the Dortmund did at the last minute of the season last year.

Borussia Dortmund was very unlucky last year and lost the championship in the last minute of the last match. I don't think we will see a similar scenario for Leverkusen this year. I don't see any team that can beat Leverkusen this year, other than Bayern. The match they will play against Bayern Munich this week will be a very critical match. It will be enjoyable for two teams with championship claims to compete against each other.

[vennali]

Past 2 games between Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have been 1-1 and with Stuttgart scoring first, it is very likely that this one will end 1-1 as well. It should be a low scoring game by the end of it. Let's see how it goes.

Right now Leverkusen are playing vs stuttgart in the german cup and it stand 1-0 for stuttgart. The first 45 minutes have been played and it looks like stuttgart can win today. This game is an extra stress for Leverkusen and they play their most important game in the league at the weekend. Alonso has still take the best team today and I think that is a tough game today. Bayern Munich are rested but still have a lot of injured players. It will be an exciting game.

The problem hasn't been in the last seasons, but the teams that had the chance to win the title but did not. Bayern is always champion material as you call it, but they have had some seasons where they struggled. The issue is that there is no team to fill the gap then and take the opportunity, but this time it might finally be different.

But I don't to be too optimistic too early. Last season I thought that Dortmund could win the title and then the end of the season turned into a horror show for every Bundesliga fan who wanted to see someone else win the title finally.

Past 2 games between Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have been 1-1 and with Stuttgart scoring first, it is very likely that this one will end 1-1 as well. It should be a low scoring game by the end of it. Let's see how it goes.

Well, the tip has aged quickly Leverkusen equalized shortly after the break, but allowed Stuttgart to take the lead again shortly afterwards. After 60 minutes, Stuttgart is the more dynamic and better team and rightly took the lead. Both teams play very offensively, so more goals are to be expected.

[Palakka]

Leipzig was able to win the match against Union Berlin. And I will have to say that they have definitely played a convincing match. The match was dominated by Leipzig.

They finally managed to break bad run when They managed to achieve victory when facing Union berlin. Openda was again the hero in this match because a quick goal in the 11th minute made leipzig even more enthusiastic in fighting in this match. This result made leipzig succeed in improving and continuing to stick closely to Dortmund who are above their ranking.

In that match, leipzig performance was quite good because They were able to take advantage of the home game by playing to come back to winning ways which made them feel like they were under pressure in their game to get 3 point. Union Berlin was very under pressure in this match because the opponents they faced really played well enough that They didn't have any chances to score a goal.

Leverkusen won the match with a score of 3-2, and Xabi fleet had the right to advance to the semifinals. I see Leverkusen chances of locking up the DFB Pokal trophy as very big after beating Stuttgart, their next opponent is an average club. Leverkusen performance is truly impressive, no team has been able to stop their run so far, and at the weekend their strength will be tested again by Bayern Munchen. I think this victory is valuable capital for Xabi team, their mentality has increased and so has their self confidence.

Bayern Munich needs to be careful when visiting Leverkusen headquarters, because the strength of Xabi fleet is still quite stable and it is possible to create surprises. For Bayern, it is very important not to look at Leverkusen unbeaten record, because in my opinion it will make their mentality decline. This match is very important because its impact is very big, directly affecting each other chances of hunting for the Bundesliga trophy this season.

The pressure of been able to maintain a position at the top of the table is even more stressing than just trying to get ahead of someone who's already at a position you would want to be especially at the top of the table, and the only way out to stay safe at the top without much pressure is simply by further keeping the distance even more winder against the other team coming behind.

Staying at least ten points away from the team at the second position behind you is a very good one toe strategically keep them away from you with almost no pressure and that's what Leverkusen would have done and it would have helped them a long way at this time because they wouldn't have had the need to boder too much about Bayern Munich been able to get to them and even get ahead of them especially because their point difference is just small, Leverkusen will have to win a few more games so they can be sure o the security services

The match between these two teams is like they are just playing for the team to be in the first position. The point gap between them is very close that the result of this match won’t make much difference or ascertain the team that will win the league title. Each of them needs to play to their best after their head-to-head matches until the end of the season, only then we can tell the team that is ready to win this league title. This match will only test their strength against each other but it won’t make it be the decider on who will win the league title. Both teams are great and the result of this match cannot be easily decided.

[TelolettOm]

Indeed. Leverkusen has no popular players like Bayern Munich. Leverkusen players are just average players but they can play solidly under Xabi Alonso's management. I know it won't be a big problem, the players' popularity don't guarantee anything. However, we can't deny that the quality of Bayern Munich players are better than Leverkusen players. It is very clear if we look at the productivity of goals from the attackers of Leverkusen. Leverkusen attackers couldn't score as many as goals of Bayern Munich attackers' goals. Xabi alonso still have a problem with the attackers, they still can't be sharp attackers. In many matches, I see Leverkusen scored goals from their defenders. I really hope Xabi Alonso will improve the quality of Leverkusen attackers.

It is pretty incredible to see how even with the squad that they have right now, they are able to continue performing well consistently. Of course, they did drop some points in one or two matches where they probably could have done better.

I think with the last match they will be confident again because they did get a win. They were also supposed to win because that matches against the team that is absolutely at the bottom of the table. But still, three points is 3 points. The improvement has definitely been made by the coach. And of course, people are going to expect more improvement. I think even if they can finish in the top three, the point will be proven. let's be honest, everyone wants to see them win the Bundesliga title.

Yepp, they probably couldn't get several full points in the match, but it is not a loss, so, for now, they are still unbeaten club in Bundesliga. Every player can be optimized very well by Xabi. We can imagine how if Leverkusen can get a very talented striker, it will be exactly very great to see their performance to rise much better, moreover in the attacking lines. But for now, it seems that they are still with the current squad that is also awesome enough in every match.

Moreover if we look at their performance yesterday in DFB Pokal, finally Leverkusen could beat Stuttgart withy 3 - 2. We know that Stuttgart is also a strong club, they are now in top standings, too. Stuttgart also led the match at first and quite give the domination. but, Leverkusen as always is able to handle it successfully. they played calmly and could beat the opponent in unexpected times. So, as in this match, finally Leverkusen could really turned the posiiton to lead the match until the end.

[vennali]

Well, the tip has aged quickly Leverkusen equalized shortly after the break, but allowed Stuttgart to take the lead again shortly afterwards. After 60 minutes, Stuttgart is the more dynamic and better team and rightly took the lead. Both teams play very offensively, so more goals are to be expected.

I was just making an observation and stating how things stood at that point in time. Being a Cup game, it does get a bit unpredictable and that's how this one went as well. Stuttgart did lead the game twice but couldn't hold on to it and lost by conceding 3 goals in the 2nd half. The game ended Leverkusen 3-2 Stuttgart.

Bayer Leverkusen's win has made them only the 2nd team in German football history to go unbeaten in 30 consecutive games across all competitions. Bayern Munich leads with 32 most consecutive wins. So, Leverkusen just needs 3 wins to be the only German team to consecutively get a result in 33 games. Can they do it?

[klidex]

Yes, Leipzig has lost a lot of points in the last few matches. Leipzig has experienced 3 consecutive defeats, 1 draw and 1 win, where Leipzig has lost 11 points. Therefore Leipzig is quite far behind the top 3 clubs.

They'll be facing who are in 13th position on the standings, in their next fixture. Augsburg might be very distant from them, on the standings, however they're not a team to be underestimated.

Leipzig perform well in the league when they faced Union Berlin last weeks but before that Leipzig had lost a lot of points which means Leipzig performances is still far from consistent and tend to be less stable but they are still in the same row as the top clubs in the Bundesliga where their rankings is currently at The top 5, Stuttgart and Leverkusen which made Leipzig fail to rank 3rd because the club performances was much better than Leipzig this season. I hoped that with a winning against Union Berlin Leipzig can break a series of bad result in its last few match and returned to competing with top clubs.

Against Augsburg is not something that is difficult for Leipzig because in their last 5 meetings Leipzig has dominated over Augsburg with 3 home wins and 2 away draw, so Leipzig must maximize their performance so that Augsburg cannot hold Leipzig to a draw when Augsburg plays at home because this match will be held at Augsburg headquarters.

[Josefjix]

Past 2 games between Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have been 1-1 and with Stuttgart scoring first, it is very likely that this one will end 1-1 as well. It should be a low scoring game by the end of it. Let's see how it goes.

When it coms to Bayer Leverkusen game, there's absolutely no room to worry because the best results comes from this club in the whole of Bundesliga, not even matchable with Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso deserves his flowers, he's the best coach currently with his streak unbeaten run for the club since his appointment as headcoach. The board was patient with him to deliver good job for the club and he happen to elevating the club in time like this, they're the top favorite team to win the Bundesliga this season and it will be triggered without stress.

Past 2 games between Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart have been 1-1 and with Stuttgart scoring first, it is very likely that this one will end 1-1 as well. It should be a low scoring game by the end of it. Let's see how it goes.

Leverkusen managed to win over Stuttgart with score of 3 - 2 and this was great victory for Leverkusen because Stuttgart is team that can be said to be quite strong but Leverkusen managed to make Stuttgart suffer defeat.
In the first half Stuttgart managed to score their first goal and until the start of the second half Stuttgart had dominated the match but when entering the 60th minute everything turned around where Leverkusen was much more dominant.
Just look at some of the opportunities they created and control of the match changed significantly to Leverkusen and this was surprise that was truly unimaginable, but this victory was indeed worthy of Leverkusen.
Moreover, this is home match for Leverkusen so if they lose it will be clear how all the fans will respond, and after this Leverkusen will face Bayern Munich so let wait and see what Leverkusen will get in the meeting with Bayern Munich later.
