Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[yudi09]

-snip-

Yes, Union Berlin must be able to save themselves from the relegation zone because there are still so many matches this season. They must be able to take advantage of this opportunity and continue to collect points by always improving the team, especially the very fragile defense line. especially after they no longer have matches in the UCL league because they didn't qualify, they should be able to focus more on the Bundesliga.

Because it would be a shame if Union Berlin had to be relegated, last season Union Berlin's game was very impressive and they were even able to qualify for the UCL league, but this season it seems like they have lost confidence. I personally still hope that next season they will remain in the Bundesliga standings.

This usually happens when a team is forced to be relegated even though the previous season it finished fourth and qualified for the UCL. Union Berlin is one of the teams that we have seen in other leagues outside the Bundesliga. So don't think too much about what happens to a team like Union Berlin.
If they don't want to be relegated, Union Berlin must improve the quality of their game for the remainder of this season because the opportunity to survive in the Bundesliga is still strong with the points they have accumulated up to 20 matches. Whether they can do it or not depends on them.

You are right. Leverkusen will certainly not want to disappoint their home fans. Xabi Alonso is a very experienced coach. And I believe he will definitely find the right strategy to perform well against Munich.


Although Bayern Munich is a strong team, they have failed to win in their last four matches against Leverkusen. And in the last home match, Leverkusen defeated Bayern Munich 2-1. For these reasons, although Bayern Munich is strong, it cannot be said for sure that Munich will win against Leverkusen. Both teams have chances to win this match. But the match is most likely to be a draw. However, I am not interested in betting on this match. I am looking forward to enjoy a competitive and exciting match.

Experienced?
I don't understand why you say Xabi is an experienced coach? because as far as I know he has only coached three teams so far, namely Real Madrid juniors, Real Sociedad B and Leverkusen, if you say that Xabi is a talented and lucky coach of course I really agree, but if you say he is an experienced coach of course that is too early because he had just started his coaching career.


Talking about the match against Bayern Munich, of course this match will determine the position for the two teams who are currently on the championship track, so far both teams are still in pretty good performance and consistency in each of their matches so you can be sure that the match will be very fierce, to be honest, for this match I will not rely on statistics and head to head as a reference for betting or guessing who the winner will be, because both teams have big ambitions to beat each other and everything could possibly happen in that match.

Maybe what he means is that Xabi Alonso is a coach who has good experience in the past when he was a football player because in the past Xabi experience was quite good when he was at several clubs such as Liverpool, Real Madrid and most recently as a Bayern Munich player so it's not surprising that he was very intelligent and was able to bring Leverkusen to first place past Bayern Munich because he previously knew the playing style and strategies that Bayern Munich often used.

Betting on the Leverkusen match against Bayern Munich for me is a little risky to determine who the winner is but it would be very convincing if we bet on both clubs scoring.
I'm sure both clubs will at least score and my speculation is Leverkusen will win.

[Lykslyks]

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.

Bayern Munich can look for many options to win this season, last season it was luck that saved them, right now if luck is not on their side in the final game then it is really hard for them to win again, Bayer Leverkusen has proven that they are controlling what may happen in the game, right now Thomas Tuchel would want to be out of the Bayern Munich so this is another thing that bothers them right now Thomas Tuchel might sabotage the championship for Bayern Munich as he doesn't want to continue to be the coach of Bayern Munich right now, and right now Bayern Munich is eyeing in getting Xavi Alonso, from Leverkusen, it was said on the news.

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.

Right now RB Leipzig is a bad match-up for Union Berlin, as they simply manage to win it without much effort, right now Union Berlin is a very different team they are not the same anymore since last season, and after that, they have bad standing this season, Union Berlin is no more but still, they are struggling in keeping their position as Koln, Mainz and Darmstadt is competing for the Relegation if Union Berlin would lose another game then it is over for them, as they could plummet down to the position of Koln right now.

We don't know if Bayern Munich will participate in the Champions League round of 16 the way they did in the group stage. I am not confident with Bayern Munich's performance at the moment, this is not the Bayern we knew for years. We know how they lost against weak teams this season, and it may be possible that their performance will become weak in the Champions League next round. I'm thinking that Leverkusen defeats Bayern Munich in their next meet.

It is not going to be an easy match that can be decided by mere talks or by recent performances. This is a match that could have a impact on who will take over as the league leader. I have confidence in both teams and they are both at a very good state to win the match. The most tactical and strategic team will take the lead and win that game. Don’t be surprised to see a football at its top class form Bayern Leverkusen, they’ve come a long way to reach this position and won’t relent whatsoever to allow Bayern Munich to win the league title after all the efforts they’ve putting in to get here.

Basically, Bayern Munich still plays and has the same good results as previous seasons . Because after all, in previous seasons also although Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga trophy but ya, the fact is that Bayern Munich also always has a losing record in each season . But what makes the difference this season is, because this moment Bundesliga was surprised by Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten results and therefore, until now Bayern Munich is still in second place in the Bundesliga standing. But even so, at least their points gap is still very close and therefore, it will certainly be a difficult choice to determine whether to bet for Bayern Munich or for Bayer Leverkusen this moment. Because yes, these two teams have good trends and performance so far, so these two teams have a chance to win.

[QueenVera]

for me, Leverkusen does not have a safe position because it continues to be chased by Bayern Munich, which has never shifted its position, but this should be a big question, why hasn't Bayern Munich shifted Leverkusen? meanwhile, Bayern Munich could have replaced Leverkusen since that time because Munich performance was very strong, but it seemed as if Munich was giving Leverkusen a chance and would eventually be shifted towards the end of the season.
what I learned from the journey of these two teams is that Leverkusen is always consistent without being defeated but Munich is always chasing points Leverkusen, but when they had the opportunity to overtake Leverkusen, Munich actually lost against a weak team and after that, when Leverkusen gave them a big point difference, Munich was surprisingly able to continue chasing him with an always narrow point difference.

I'm afraid this is a strategy used Bayern Munich to embarrass a popular team like that time when Dortmund was knocked out in the last match of last season and this could happen if Leverkusen and Bayern Munich don't have a big difference in points. I'm sure Dortmund bad luck will be repeated Leverkusen in the season.
on the one hand, being at the top of the standings but always under pressure makes players have to work hard which results in fatigue towards the end of the season and performance will decline.

Leverkusen are currently still on tope the league but they are chased so dearly by Bayern Munich. Bayern seem not to look tired and are dearly chasing Leverkusen in the league. This is one fun thing about Leagues in Europe. Bayern are traditional winners of this league and know how to go about this league. Bayern Munich though faltered at some points and were given wide gap range but also Leverkusen fell under the pressure and also dropped points which has now given Bayern a glimpse of hope.

 Now i think the Champion of the league will be taken to the very last day before it is decided on as both team are doing pretty well. I would really love to see Leverkusen win this league and for that to happen, they’ve got to keep up the determination level and try to avoid playing under pressure as it could result to unnecessary mistakes.

Yes, Union Berlin must be able to save themselves from the relegation zone because there are still so many matches this season. They must be able to take advantage of this opportunity and continue to collect points by always improving the team, especially the very fragile defense line. especially after they no longer have matches in the UCL league because they didn't qualify, they should be able to focus more on the Bundesliga.

Because it would be a shame if Union Berlin had to be relegated, last season Union Berlin's game was very impressive and they were even able to qualify for the UCL league, but this season it seems like they have lost confidence. I personally still hope that next season they will remain in the Bundesliga standings.

Union Berlin is one of the teams that we have seen in other leagues outside the Bundesliga. So don't think too much about what happens to a team like Union Berlin.
If they don't want to be relegated, Union Berlin must improve the quality of their game for the remainder of this season because the opportunity to survive in the Bundesliga is still strong with the points they have accumulated up to 20 matches. Whether they can do it or not depends on them.

It's a very dramatic situation. On the one hand, Union is competing in the UCL this year, and on the other hand, Union is struggling to avoid relegation from the league. I think this was the biggest disappointment for them over the years. Fans who dreamed of getting out of the UCL groups at the beginning of the year will be happy not to be relegated from the league.

[Zlantann]

Maybe what he means is that Xabi Alonso is a coach who has good experience in the past when he was a football player because in the past Xabi experience was quite good when he was at several clubs such as Liverpool, Real Madrid and most recently as a Bayern Munich player so it's not surprising that he was very intelligent and was able to bring Leverkusen to first place past Bayern Munich because he previously knew the playing style and strategies that Bayern Munich often used.

Xabi Alonso is just a lucky manager that has little or no coaching experience but is doing a great work in Leverkusen. Maybe he has gotten some experience from his playing days but it cannot be counted as a coaching experience. He makes me remember Zinedine Zidane the French icon who has also had a successful coaching career with less experience. The game between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will determine who might top the Bundesliga. The match might end in a draw but if there is a winning, it will be Leverkusen because they have more committed players and the home fans. But I am in no wise doubting the tactical prowess of Thomas Tuchel, he could still make some difference in that game. Regardless of that, I will still bet on the host team.

The previous season saw the  Union Berlin team at the  top of the table for a long time. This  team was able to  perform very well. But Union Berlin's  performance this season has been very disappointing. Union Berlin is  currently at the bottom of the points table.

In 20 matches, Union Berlin's players managed to  score only 19 goals and conceded 35 goals. This team's performance is poor  both in attack and defense. This is why this team has a high chance of going to the relegation zone. This  team needs an overhaul. And now first of  all they should bring changes in  match strategy. If the match strategy does not improve, it will  not be surprising if Union Berlin  go into the relegation zone.

I am not confident with Bayern Munich's performance at the moment, this is not the Bayern we knew for years. We know how they lost against weak teams this season, and it may be possible that their performance will become weak in the Champions League next round. I'm thinking that Leverkusen defeats Bayern Munich in their next meet.

Are you serious? Lazio is nothing, I believe Bayern Munich will easily beat them. Slipped is nothing new for big teams, become a big team doesn't mean they will always win against weak teams and only lose against strong team.

Leverkusen might able to beat Bayern Munich, but this results can't be used to compare with Lazio which currently at 9th position in Serie A.

Bayern Munich will have no trouble defeating Lazio, it will be really easy to defeat a team that is already at 9th position in the Seria A table. After all, this season Bayern Munich have already lost to Werder Bremen, who are currently at 9th position in the Bundesliga.  Even in their previous two Champions League meetings, Bayern Munich won over Lazio, though i believe that Bayern Munich will still win their next champions league game, but this season, Bayern Munich has lost to weak teams, so I'm not just confidence with their performance at the moment. Lazio could surprise everyone by beating Bayern Munich in the round of 16,anything can happen, I won't be surprise if Bayern Munich lose.

[Leviathan.007]

Bayern Munich if you monitor them closely have been a good side but no at the standards we saw them few seasons ago, I'd say a season or two backwards.

I agree about the look of Bayern Munich this season. They had much more convincing seasons than this in the past. They have some inconsistencies this season not only in the Bundesliga but also the Champions League. I know how many points they collected in the Champions League group stage but I meant their performance quality in general.  

This look of them is really helping Leverkusen on one hand for now. In only three days there is a big game between these two teams you know. I hope Leverkusen can manage to win to have a nice gap with their opponent in the standings.  

Bayern Munich's performance this season can be said to be a bit bad because they were beaten by a mediocre club when Leverkusen achieved a draw Bayern Munich failed to take advantage of this opportunity well and instead they lost 3 points, so in my opinion Bayern Munich has not completely performed well under his guidance Tuchel because a club like Bayern Munich not experience defeat when facing a club that is not too strong, while Leverkusen is still unbeaten to date and this has made Bayern Munich frustrated because they failed to take advantage of the opportunities that existed.

Yes, Leverkusen is happy with Bayern Munich's performance this season even though Bayern Munich is still a tough rival in the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich still hasn't given up on continuing to pressure Leverkusen at the top of the standings and trying to regain first place, and their match this weekend is also proof of who is who strongest this season. If Bayern Munich is able to beat Leverkusen, which has not yet experienced defeat, then Bayern Munich can regain first place, but if it is the other way around, the distance between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will be even further.

The match between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich is definitely the most interesting and important game I have seen in the Bundesliga because Leverkusen was unbeaten and now for Bayern Munich to break the record of Leverkusen in any situation they should try hard for it, in fact, one reason for Bayern Munich to chose Tuchel was they were expecting him to have much better performance than Leverkusen and win the Bundesliga title without a problem.

[alankasman]

Bayern Leverkusen vs Bayern Munchen

This will be a match that can provide an analysis of who will end this season with Bundesliga champion status. Leverkusen leads the standings with a difference of 2 points.
Leverkusen became a team that was difficult for Bayern Munich and other teams to beat while Alonso was coach. Unbeaten this season makes Alonso the best coach who has ever managed Leverkusen.

If Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are both strong in the big Bundesliga match this week, then a draw would be the best result so that the continuation of the title competition between these two teams will continue until the end of the season.
How do you think about the results of this match?

[Rengga Jati]

Bayern Munich will have no trouble defeating Lazio, it will be really easy to defeat a team that is already at 9th position in the Seria A table. After all, this season Bayern Munich have already lost to Werder Bremen, who are currently at 9th position in the Bundesliga.  Even in their previous two Champions League meetings, Bayern Munich won over Lazio, though i believe that Bayern Munich will still win their next champions league game, but this season, Bayern Munich has lost to weak teams, so I'm not just confidence with their performance at the moment. Lazio could surprise everyone by beating Bayern Munich in the round of 16,anything can happen, I won't be surprise if Bayern Munich lose.

Based on H2H, it is true that Bayern Munich has won more and Lazio has not even had one. So if it can be like that again, Bayern Munich should have a much greater chance of winning even though they will play away to Lazio. However, Lazio are also quite troublesome at times, so I don't think it will be that easy. Lazio can also provide resistance that is quite difficult for Bayern. However, in the end, Bayern will still win. Because Bayern is much stronger on various fronts compared to Lazio. Bayern has Harry Kane and friends who will certainly be very troublesome for Lazio's movements. Bayern's attack line is very sharp and they also play offensively.

The previous season saw the  Union Berlin team at the  top of the table for a long time. This  team was able to  perform very well. But Union Berlin's  performance this season has been very disappointing. Union Berlin is  currently at the bottom of the points table.

That's why, Union Berlin has very decreased performance this season. They are not only bad at the back which means they often concede goals, but in all areas, they are very weak. Even though last season, Berlin wasn't this bad. This is truly a completely opposite appearance to the previous season. In fact, even though they have changed coaches, it seems like Berlin is finding it difficult to rise again to the top club. This must be very frustrating for them.

Leverkusen might able to beat Bayern Munich, but this results can't be used to compare with Lazio which currently at 9th position in Serie A.

Considering the current performance of Lazio in Serie A, I can agree that Bayern Munich looks like to beat Lazio. Lazio also didn't play very well in UCL, they already got 2 loses and 1 draw during the group stage matches. It is very different with Bayern Munich which is unbeatable in UCL so far. Bayern Munich also performed quite well in Bundesliga.

Yep. If we compare with Leverkusen, the condition is different. I also no doubt to say Leverkusen is very possible to beat Bayern Munich. Leverkusen experienced a great season, they are unbeatable in any competition. It is different with Lazio that often got losses this season. For the next match Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich, I expect both teams to play with their full teams. I can bet Leverkusen to win if they are playing with all the key players.

This usually happens when a team is forced to be relegated even though the previous season it finished fourth and qualified for the UCL. Union Berlin is one of the teams that we have seen in other leagues outside the Bundesliga. So don't think too much about what happens to a team like Union Berlin.
If they don't want to be relegated, Union Berlin must improve the quality of their game for the remainder of this season because the opportunity to survive in the Bundesliga is still strong with the points they have accumulated up to 20 matches. Whether they can do it or not depends on them.

It's a very dramatic situation. On the one hand, Union is competing in the UCL this year, and on the other hand, Union is struggling to avoid relegation from the league. I think this was the biggest disappointment for them over the years. Fans who dreamed of getting out of the UCL groups at the beginning of the year will be happy not to be relegated from the league.

It is the oldest news in the book about small football teams that does well for a year. If you are a team that is not historically dominant, like Dortmund or Bayern, then you are going to have one year, probably get all your players sold, at least good ones, and nobody will play as good as the previous year as well.

Look at Girona right now, I guarantee you 100% next season they will not be as good as this, they will struggle to be mid level team for sure. Look at Napoli, won the league with ease, claimed the title weeks and weeks before the season ended, what happened? They are much worse now. Teams who are not usually good, having a good season means that they are going to end up with some trouble next season, it's cliché at this point.

[borovichok]

That's right and maybe this will be one of the deciding matches to win the Bundesliga title this season. I would be very happy if this season would belong to Leverkusen and also be the first trophy with Xabi Alonso. With a fantastic record of 30 wins, 0 losses and 90 goals scored so far in all competitions, these numbers are very special in his coaching career as a coach.

I often hear rumors that Xabi Alonso is the main candidate as Liverpool's new coach next season and after the departure of Jurgen Klopp, he is the only one who can replace his role at Liverpool. However, what is clear is that currently Xabi Alonso will only focus on winning the title with Leverkusen and if everything can be won then Xabi Alonso will be more comfortable leaving Leverkusen at the right time.

Bayer Leverkusen have a target this season, they hope to strive for the Bundesliga title but achieving it comes with different goals. Xabi Alonso is giving the topper strategy for games, there's records of defeats in the long run of the team and under his regime, there's no level of good performance than the current situation of Leverkusen, however there's nothing solid but happiness on the ends of Bayer Leverkusen. The fans steadily chanting songs of victory because they're unbeaten this season, not holding back but bringing on their best performance in league matches.

[Dzwaafu11]

Bayern Munich can look for many options to win this season, last season it was luck that saved them, right now if luck is not on their side in the final game then it is really hard for them to win again, Bayer Leverkusen has proven that they are controlling what may happen in the game, right now Thomas Tuchel would want to be out of the Bayern Munich so this is another thing that bothers them right now Thomas Tuchel might sabotage the championship for Bayern Munich as he doesn't want to continue to be the coach of Bayern Munich right now, and right now Bayern Munich is eyeing in getting Xavi Alonso, from Leverkusen, it was said on the news.

Yes, you are right. I also think this way because Bayern Leverkusen have been unbeatable throughout the season; they have performed well from the start of the season until now. And from the way their performance is going, I think they will continue this way, and if they continue, I think they will be the winners of the league this season. However, Bayern Leverkusen are the favorites this season. And Bayern Munich have not shown any consistency, that we will say they are fully ready for the race of the tittle this season, unlike Bayern Leverkusen, who have been showing how good they are throughout the season, and again, even if Bayern Munich get lucky by winning the tittle last season, I don't think the same thing will happen this season because of how Leverkusen are doing. They don't take it easy with any team, so I believe even if they meet with Bayern Munich, they are capable of beating them.

[bestcoins1]

Bayer Leverkusen have a target this season, they hope to strive for the Bundesliga title but achieving it comes with different goals.

The fans steadily chanting songs of victory because they're unbeaten this season, not holding back but bringing on their best performance in league matches.

And this weekend Bayer Leverkusen will also welcome a very special guest team in the category of real rivals, because Bayern Munich is also fighting for the Bundesliga title again this season after last season no one was able to stop it. However, I actually really hope that this season there will be another team capable of winning the Bundesliga and that team now seems very real, namely Bayer Leverkusen. So this weekend everyone will see quite a tough and dramatic match at BayArena.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

Leverkusen was lucky this time because the game was about to end in 90 minutes with a 2-2 draw and this could put Leverkusen in trouble because of playing for a longer time and even the penalty kicks against Stutssgart but in the last moment of the game Xabi Alonso and his player scored the third goals and the game evened with a 3-2 result which means Leverkusen can have hope to even achieve something in DFK Pokal.

[Josefjix]

Leverkusen was lucky this time because the game was about to end in 90 minutes with a 2-2 draw and this could put Leverkusen in trouble because of playing for a longer time and even the penalty kicks against Stutssgart but in the last moment of the game Xabi Alonso and his player scored the third goals and the game evened with a 3-2 result which means Leverkusen can have hope to even achieve something in DFK Pokal.

DFK Pokal is also an important competition for Leverkusen, they don't underestimate there opponents, one of the good reasons they're reaching greater heights these present days. They sights at their opponents strength and weaknesses, they keen on invading their weaknesses with appropriate formidable actions.Leverkusen possess the desirable luck as an elite team, they always go for the best results. It's surprising to see Leverkusen ontop on the Bundesliga table with 0 defeats, an achievement Xabi Alonso should be confident and bragging about because it's not an easy race for the club.

[ginsan]

Leverkusen was lucky this time because the game was about to end in 90 minutes with a 2-2 draw and this could put Leverkusen in trouble because of playing for a longer time and even the penalty kicks against Stutssgart but in the last moment of the game Xabi Alonso and his player scored the third goals and the game evened with a 3-2 result which means Leverkusen can have hope to even achieve something in DFK Pokal.

Leverkusen performance this season is quite impressive because they are so focused on every competition they participate in. Leverkusen managed to advance to the semifinals after beating Stuttgart with a score of 3-2 where this match was quite fierce because Leverkusen had fallen behind at first but they were able to turn things around and managed to secure victory in this match. I see Leverkusen playing like a team full of ambition to win the DFB cup this season because when they faced Stuttgart they were able to show their best game because they were able to do a come back to beat their opponent.

For this reason, Xabi Alonso has secured one hope of being able to secure the DFB Trophy this season. I think with their current strength, Leverkusen will certainly be the most favorite team in the DFB competition. Yes, apart from that, none of the candidates from other teams seem to be strong enough and if you say Leverkusen is the strongest team in the semifinals.
