Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[W Jr.]

Munich losing by three goals was gut-wrenching. A team of their calibre should fight, right? They gave Leverkusen the win on a silver platter. Think about it; more ball control but no action? What a shame. Instead of penetrating defences, they basically passed the ball aimlessly.

And dont mention Tuchel. I was optimistic, but this makes me doubt his methods. Disconnection is evident in the team. In contrast, Leverkusen played hard. I applaud Xabi Alonso for demonstrating the power of effective management without star players. What a contrast! It makes you wonder if Bayern needs a coach change.

I think it's all over and Tuchel is now in a very deep slump, no one is to blame but Tuchel for this embarrassing defeat.
I didn't expect Bayer, who was struggling to compete for the Bundesliga title, to lose with such a crushing score.

In this match, it was quite visible that Bayern's strength was able to be suppressed by Leverkusen's slick performance. Xabi Alonso's team was really quite surprising in what they showed.

The defeat against Leverkusen made Bayern lose direction even more, but that doesn't mean we have to blame Tuchel for the defeat, tuchel has worked hard to get maximum results but luck has not been on their side, Apart from that, I don't see anything wrong with Tuchel strategy and instead see Bayern players were not able to perform optimally in this match, especially their front line, currently Leverkusen managed to extend their unbeaten record and with a win against Bayern, now Leverkusen is quite firmly at the top of the standings with 55 points, so if Leverkusen can maximize the remaining matches this season, of course they will definitely this season Bundesliga trophy will be theirs as well as breaking Bayern Munich  dominance so far in the Bundesliga.

Bayern was very bad in the match. We wouldn't be wrong if we say that Bayer Leverkusen wiped them off the field. Bayer Leverkusen had 14 shots, while Bayern Munich had 9 shots and only 1 shot on target. In other words, Bayer Leverkusen did not let Bayern Munich play football. This is enough to prove to us that Bayern needs to prepare harder before the UCL matches. After a long time, I wonder if Bayern will not win the league this year?

Boehly would also be interested in signing Alonso to bring change to Chelsea.

Instead of looking to sign a new manager, it's actually him need to be replaced with a new owner.

Is it because he doesn't understand football and is only smart in business matters? Or is he not a football fan like the former owner from Russia so he doesn't understand how to provide development for the club he leads?

Seeing a club that is undefeated certainly make the coach looks at many parties because the coach is the one who is responsible for coaching the club and so far since Xabi Alonso has been at Leverkusen Xabi can give his best I think before big clubs start recruiting him like Liverpool who might take him to the club to replace Kloop, I am sure Xabi will try hard to make Leverkusen wins the title before leaving Leverkusen.

Realizing that he was getting the glances of a big European club, if he continued to think about it it would disrupt Alonso's concentration. So in my opinion, Xabi Alonso has thought about all this regarding his future at Bayern Leverkusen and the management of Bayern Leverkusen has also prepared the best options for Alonso's future because as long as Alonso is coach, Bayern Leverkusen will likely achieve great achievements this season.

If Alonso's decision after this season ends and he decides to go to England, rest assured that the Premier League competition is different from the Bundesliga. Only a few coaches can achieve great success there.

Bayern Munich is in a phase of decline since being handled by Thomas Tuchel. You can see their journey last season, even the title decision had to come down to the last match. And this season it seems like the failure for the Bavarians is starting to become clear, the defeat to Bayern Leverkusen means the points gap between the two is starting to widen and even though the season is still long I am starting to be pessimistic about Harry Kane and his friends.

Meanwhile I really have to give credit to Xabi Alonso, he was really able to do something truly extraordinary for Bayern Leverkusen. Alonso is one step closer to making history and I hope he is able to do that.

Will it be actually right or fair enough to blame the recent decline in Bayern Munich on tuchel?? Because tuchel has definitely our in his very best and wants to win the league so he can maintain the league title as he should, leta not forget that earlier this season Bayern Munich was much ber than they are now u see the management of the same coach.

Sometimes I see it as almost normal and okay for a team to experience decline at a point in the season because they may be suffering from loss off players due to injury or to transfer especially when the team have to sell some of its players, Leverkusen has really shown good resilience this season and it's very commendable, as both Xabi and the whole of Leverkusen has really done a grey job this season and do deserve every every applaud they received for their performance so far.

Munich's weaknesses have actually become apparent this season. The 3-goal defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Munich's top brass. In the game, you can really feel the difference in tactics used by the two teams. However, Xabi is a maestro, he plays a fluid strategy where players can change positions quickly to create opportunities which are converted into goals.
The big question is, will Munich try to redeem Xabi's clause from Leverkusen next season? Munich always does this to buy players and even rival coaches so they can dominate the Bundesliga.

Regarding redemption matters such as Xabi's clause from Leverkusen next season, it is still unclear at this time because Bayern Munich itself is definitely focused on reducing the points gap with Bayer Leverkusen, which at this time has become five points after Bayern Munich lost badly at Leverkusen's home ground. However, that doesn't mean that what you say won't come true next season because remember that Bayern Munich is a team that has enough money to bring in the players they want even though they have to go through a fairly well-planned business route.

After Leverkusen won the match 3-0, we can say that we entered a very bad period for Bayern. Their only chance now is to avoid losing points and wait for Bayer Leverkusen to be defeated. There is a 5-point difference between them, and although this 5 points may not seem like much, it is actually a significant difference. Even in the possibility of defeat for Bayer Leverkusen, the point difference will be reduced to 2. It was a great victory, 6 points went to Bayer Leverkusen.

[hyudien]

If this was a narrow defeat with a score of 1-0 or 2-1 it wouldn't be embarrassing enough but 3-0 is the score where Bayern Munich has lost face in this match. They did not endanger Leverkusen's goal in the slightest and it was Leverkusen who destroyed their goal with 3 goals without reply. I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be this weak when facing their rivals to win the Bundesliga title this season. Xabi Alonso seems to have no gaps and he can always provide impressive performances through his players.

Munich controlled the ball but Leverkusen controlled the match. Absolutely amazing! Statistics show that Munich was only able to make 1 shot on target tonight. I was surprised at how outstanding Leverkusen were tonight. They really answered people's doubts. Now I am even more confident they will win the championship this season. Winning 5 points in the Bundesliga will be very difficult for Munich to catch. Leverkusen are completely unbeaten this season and I also believe they will break Munich's record for longest unbeaten run.

A highly anticipated match and in the end we know who the winner is, yes it's Leverkusen. I think many are happy with this result, of course for Bayern Munich supporters they will feel very disappointed, but I mean those who are Bundesliga lovers who want someone to break Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.
It's going to be an interesting season, with everyone looking forward to seeing if Leverkusen can actually become the team to win for the first time in decades. Leverkusen must be feeling a breath of fresh air, but I hope they don't take too long to celebrate, because they still have a long way to go to actually be on the championship stage.

Now this is also very interesting to be discussed about whether then Bayern Munich will redeem Xabi or not. As you said they always want to have the best and what they do is buy them from rival teams, especially players. A lot of Bayern Munich players come from rival teams, especially Borussia Dortmund.
But this is still a big question, because Tuchel is relatively new with Bayern Munich since he was appointed as coach. But it is not impossible if in the end Bayern Munich will force themselves to be able to appoint Xabi and fire Tuchel.

Harry Kane has lived for years in the hope of titles and trophies. He transferred to Bayern Munich to win trophies. Bayern Munich won the German championship for 11 consecutive seasons. But this season they have fallen 5 points behind Bayer Leverkusen. Of course, I won't call it the curse of Harry Kane, but Harry Kane is very unlucky. If Bayern Munich don't win the title this season, this will be talked about for years.

I didn't expect Bayern Munich to be this weak when facing their rivals to win the Bundesliga title this season. Xabi Alonso seems to have no gaps and he can always provide impressive performances through his players.

I wonder whether Tuchel's fate is now starting to be threatened? because the difference of 5 points can be said to be a warning to the coach and I don't think the owners of Bayern Munich will remain silent if this season they fail to defend the Bundesliga title. On the other hand, this is Leverkusen's 31st win and one more win takes them to Bayern Munich's achievement of being an unbeaten team in 32 matches in all competitions. I think Leverkusen can reach that record and even surpass it this season. Leverkusen's squad is very even and they don't always rely on strikers to score goals and as we saw, Grimaldo and Frimpong also scored 1 goal each in last night's match.

First I don't understand his signature of Eric Dier to a top club like Bayern Munich. That's the first issue I have with him. Number two, why bench Thomas Muller and also Joshua Kimmich. These are old enough players with good experience of this game. They should have done a better job that these midfielder's I saw yesterday.

There'll be pressure on him most likely, after all these lose, they should condition him, he is gradually turning Bayern Munich into a team no bother is scared of playing.
He should check himself and not the players in the team, he has to show working last season if say it was about lucky for him.

With Bayer like this, 5 points is a lot. Alonso should make every effort to bring the matter to victory, perhaps next season everything will be different, and Bayer will no longer have such a chance, and Bayern will have many more such opportunities in the future.
I think that after a successful season, Alonso may be of interest to Liverpool, he was previously named as one of the main contenders for Klopp’s place, and Bayer without Alonso will most likely become a completely different team. Besides, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to take some good players with him to the new team.

[QueenVera]

It's too arrogant to think like that. If the assessment is that Bayern Munich is still easy to beat and Bayern Munich's strength has not returned, then it is like ignoring Bayern Munich's strength when they managed to beat other teams.
Able to score 4 goals, Leverkusen now has the upper hand in the race for the Bundesliga title.
Bayern Leverkusen's victory yesterday was a demonstration of Xabi Alonso's strategy for Tuchel.
Bayern Leverkusen's victory will have a positive impact on Xabi Alonso because several big clubs have not yet found an answer to his declining performance to hire him.

A look at a team that is still strong enough to be able to carry out future projects for another big team is Liverpool. Boehly would also be interested in signing Alonso to bring change to Chelsea.
Maybe it's true, only Leverkusen can end Munich's dominance, not other teams like Dortmund last season.
Alonso must not dwell on victory after the results his team obtained against Bayern Munich.

Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. Even though it's not so certain yet as there are still games to determine the victor, there's every possibility that there may be change of hands this season.
Munich are doing their best to match up the intensity of contest Leverkusen are putting forward.

 Definitely they can hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. The time is sure going to be tough for all their opponents and the games will go almost to the last end before a victor can be confirmed.

[rahmad2nd]

Stuttgart vs Mainz. 

This team is still at home in 3rd place, above Borussia Dortmund. even though they have quite a big difference in points with Bayern, let alone Leverkusen, the team coached by Sebastian Hoeness remains calm in the ranking they currently occupy. below it, there is Dortmund which is 3 points behind. in fact, Leipzig is 7 points adrift of Stuttart at the moment.
Well, throughout the course of the matches in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart played their 21 matches quite well. in fact, last season Sturttgart was only able to finish in 16th place in the unsafe zone of the Bundesliga standings. on the match against Mainz, Stuttgart defeated their opposing team with quite easy goals. in fact, Sebastian Hoeness' team had several big opportunities but unfortunately they were unable to exploit them very well. Stturgart played the match well by controlling 62% of ball possession, 11 total shots on target, 4 big chances, 3 of which were converted into goals.

On the contrary, Mainz's condition was increasingly cornered by this defeat. even though in reality, Mainz put up quite a fight and even had 3 big chances out of 17 total shots. unable to bring his team to equal their position or win the match against Stuttgart. in the end, Mainz did not move from its position and Stuttgart remained safe in its ranking.

[Lafu]

If at the end of the season Leverkusen manages to climb the podium then all football fans must spell their name properly and correctly "Bayer Leverkusen" and no more "Neverkusen". A new joke might emerge by linking Harry Kane name, he came to the right club but at the wrong moment, where his chances of tasting domestic trophies are dwindling.

Say never " never " and there is still a long way to end the season and so many games to play to get title.
But if Leverkusen will keep there playing performance it will be them to get up to the podium.
About Harry Kane , he came to to the right Club and i think to the right time and thats what Bayern Munich needed to score goals , unlucky that other teams and players also scoring goals.

[FanEagle]

Honestly even with this it doesn't mean that Leverkusen will win the league. I understand that Leverkusen fans are super excited for now and I can see why and there is nothing wrong with that, I do get that it is going to be something that will benefit them for the long term to have that five point lead. But do we really think that they will not get a tie?

Not even a single loss all season long? They have 5 points now, if they get a tie and Bayern wins then the difference is 3, if they lose and bayern wins then Bayern is right there. So, they need to do very well and it is a risky thing. Doesn't also mean they will lose, they could very well win more points than Bayern for the rest of the season and looks like they probably will.

[Slow death]

With the victory achieved by Leverkusen showing that Bayern Munich is still easy to beat and it seems that Bayern Munich's strength has not yet returned, so Leverkusen managed to take advantage of this situation by scoring lots of goals and becoming the winner in this match, the league journey this season seems to be approaching. the end, and Leverkusen must always win in every match to be able to secure first place until the league ends this season.

It's too arrogant to think like that. If the assessment is that Bayern Munich is still easy to beat and Bayern Munich's strength has not returned, then it is like ignoring Bayern Munich's strength when they managed to beat other teams.
Able to score 4 goals, Leverkusen now has the upper hand in the race for the Bundesliga title.

Alonso must not dwell on victory after the results his team obtained against Bayern Munich.

In my opinion, it would be a serious mistake if Leverkusen's coach were to become Chelsea's coach, because Chelsea's problem lies with the club's owner and not the coach. Talking about Bayern, I think it's normal for Bayern to have seasons that they lose, it would be impossible for them to never lose the title, the most important thing is that the team stays focused on the next games and manages to win in all the games they have ahead of them and wait until the last round to see how the league ends, thinking that Leverkusen is already the champion, I think that would be something hasty, it is true that Leverkusen has not had any defeat so far and has a good defense, so it is difficult to imagine that Leverkusen will have many defeats to the point where Bayern will surpass them. Today I saw this news:

Bayern CEO Dreesen has announced that Tuchel job is NOT in danger

“Nothing has changed for Tuchel, deserved defeat for us today but we won’t give up, we have to keep going”.

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3Lr5EioZM7/

This means that we will see Tuchel next season, but in the case of the Leverkusen coach, I think that if he manages to be champion, then he will be the next Liverpool coach, because for me he is the best fit as a future Liverpool coach, liverpool has kept its coaches for many seasons and xabi was once a livepool player, in addition to showing great talents as a coach, he was also a good liverpool player, so he knows liverpool well. So he would be an excellent signing for Liverpool

[hahay]

Honestly even with this it doesn't mean that Leverkusen will win the league. I understand that Leverkusen fans are super excited for now and I can see why and there is nothing wrong with that, I do get that it is going to be something that will benefit them for the long term to have that five point lead.

At least, the results they have throughout the first half of the season have at least proven . Although Bayer Leverkusen quite often get a draw but ya,at the same time also Bayern Muich sometimes surprised with a draw and or even lose . Afterall,although sometimes Bayer Leverkusen is also not lucky enough because sometimes they only get a draw but still , the fact is that Bayer Leverkusen is still very consistent to be unbeaten . With such great results, of course makes the morale of the Bayer Leverkusen squad at this moment will be well maintained so that it can promise to keep good results until the season ends.

But I think Leverkusen is in the situation in which they can win the Bundesliga title because the performance we saw from Leverkusen against Bayern Munich was epic. Leverkusen won the game with a 3-0 result. However, I think Leverkusen could never beat a team like Bayern Munich without Xabi Alonso in this team.
Tuchel was very sad and he said it is a shame for them to lose the game like this with 3-0 result.

[Furious 7]

I'm very contented with what I saw in the Leverkusen - Bayern Munich game.    Leverkusen showed such a strong character in the game and completely deserved this 3-0 win.

I wasn't expecting Bayern Munich to be this ineffective though. It was like nearly everyone played horrible. I saw Boey in the starting eleven in his second game already but he also couldn't show a good performance just like the others. Now the point gap between these two teams has become five. While we are slowly getting near the end of the season Leverkusen have a huge advantage to go for the league title and finally break Bayern Munich's streak. 

Bayern Munich was completely helpless under Leverkusen control. Xabi attractive game was able to beat Tuchel and his troops completely. This victory was purely Xabi Alonso strategy which everyone should see. The attack system implemented by Xabi Alonso is clearly different from the one implemented by Tuchel. With 31 matches without defeat, anyone would definitely be amazed by these results and managed to collect 93 goals. I want Leverkusen to survive until the end of the season and win a trophy because if it continues with Bayern Munich the Bundesliga will be boring.

My expectation of an even match actually didn't really happen in this match because the 3-goal loss scored by Leverkusen honestly became very unexpected because their opponent was Bayern.
But indeed I am quite happy with this because however with the defeat obtained by Bayern this clearly benefits Leverkusen because they can stay away with a difference of 5 points. In addition, Xabi's record until now is still unstoppable, which means that Leverkusen have played 31 matches without losing even once and this increasingly makes Xabi one of the coaches who has indeed become phenomenal this season.

Bayern were quite good in possession but Leverkusen performed much better where they could take advantage of counter attacks and when talking about shots and on target in this match Leverkusen were far superior.
With this result, I honestly doubt whether Tuchel can survive next season or not because in the last 2 seasons Tuchel seems to have great difficulty controlling Bayern, which in terms of players their quality is much better than other clubs in the Bundesliga today.

[red4slash]

Munich's weaknesses have actually become apparent this season. The 3-goal defeat to Leverkusen was a hard blow for Munich's top brass. In the game, you can really feel the difference in tactics used by the two teams. However, Xabi is a maestro, he plays a fluid strategy where players can change positions quickly to create opportunities which are converted into goals.
The big question is, will Munich try to redeem Xabi's clause from Leverkusen next season? Munich always does this to buy players and even rival coaches so they can dominate the Bundesliga.

Their instability is increasingly felt now and indeed with the results received in yesterday's match making their probability even lower when talking about the trophy hunt and maintaining their hegemony that has been done for the last 11 seasons now allows lost if Leverkusen continues to play well and Bayern is still stagnant as now.
This 5-point difference can still be pursued when looking at the remaining matches they will do, it just depends on the performance of Leverkusen because if they continue to maintain hope as it is now, it is certain that Bayern's hopes of maintaining their dominance that has been embedded for a long time must be destroyed this season.
If indeed the worst possibility like this happens to Bayern then it is certain that Tuchel's future now will not be long because for whatever reason he will be regarded as a coach who is unable to make a good contribution to Bayern during his tenure as coach.

Bayer Leverkusen put on a fantastic performance by beating Bayern Munich 3-0. Bayer Leverkusen's three goals were scored by Josep Stanisic, Alex Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong respectively. This result makes Bayer Leverkusen even stronger at the top of the Bundesliga standings, five points ahead of Bayern Munich who are below it. Leverkusen won a very crucial match. Even though Leverkusen lost possession of the ball, that didn't make Leverkusen back down. They were focused and aggressive in taking advantage of every opportunity that existed, so that 3 goals were scored and lasted until the final whistle. This victory put Liverpool at the top of the standings with a difference of 5 points from Bayern Munich.

[Lafu]

Stuttgart also have won there game against Mainz and i have nothing else expected as that.
They catched up now to Bayern Munich and it looks like that all gets a bit closer now as Dortmund is on there neck too.
Hoffenheim with that draw is a little bit disappointed as i thought that they win against Cologne.
