Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[SmartCharpa]

Bayer Leverkusen will most likely not experience the problem that Borussia Dortmund experienced last year. I am almost certain that they will be champions at the end of this year and I believe it. Xabi and his players can become champions without loss this year. Despite all these matches, they still haven't suffered a single defeat.

Dortmund's experiences from the previous season will never be repeat by Bayer Leverkusen, this one is completely different. Dortmund did not finish the previous season undefeated, in fact, they gave up points in a game they were intended to win in order to get more points to maintain their position for the title race with Bayern Munich. After drawing in their final match the previous season, Dortmund let their supporters down. Dortmund did not finish first in the league with 10 points difference with Bayern Munich last season. Dortmund failed to break Bayern Munich's record last season, which disappointed me. Dortmund has performed worse this season than they did the previous season.

Leverkusen is now dominating the league by a 10 point distance over Bayern Munich, I did not see why they would make such a mistake like Dortmund because they are playing better than we expected. It will be very difficult for Bayern Munich to close the point gap. I believe Xabi Alonso with his squad won't let us down at the end of the season; they should continue to play this way till the end of the season.

That is the reason why Bayern Munich keeps winning the Bundesliga title. Borussia Dortmund is not consistent in stopping Bayern Munich from winning the Bundesliga title. If not for Bayern Leverkusen, Bayern Munich would have been leading the Bundesliga table as usual. If Borussia Dortmund stops selling out their best players, they will be a threat to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race every season. 

I hope that the habit of Bundesliga teams who often sell players to Bayern Munich will change this season, not only for Borussia Dortmund but also for the Leverkusen team. If this can be realized, I think the Bundesliga will continue to be competitive every season, not just dominated by Bayern Munich.

This season Leverkusen appeared very superior without even losing, if next season they sell their key players it will be the same as Borussia Dortmund. Moreover, currently rumors are circulating that Xabi Alanso will coach Bayern Munich next season to replace Tuchel, of course Bayern Munich's dominance will return again. I don't want that to happen, Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich must continue to compete every season so that the Bundesliga is interesting to watch.

If Xabi Alonso replaces Thomas Tucel as Bayern Munich's head coach, Bayern Leverkusen will not be that consistent in challenging Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title next season because Xabi Alonso would like to sign some players from Bayern Leverkusen to make his tactics work for him at Bayern Munich. Secondly, other big clubs would like to sign Bayern Leverkusen players because of their performance in the Bundesliga this season, and that will make them struggle next season.

I hope that the habit of Bundesliga teams who often sell players to Bayern Munich will change this season, not only for Borussia Dortmund but also for the Leverkusen team. If this can be realized, I think the Bundesliga will continue to be competitive every season, not just dominated by Bayern Munich.

I read from social media posts and some articles that there are various reasons why teams like Dortmund sell to Bayern. Those reasons are related to their financial stability, the purpose of the club itself, the player's choice, and so on. Most teams in the Bundesliga are claimed to be not as financially successful even if they are in the top 4. Their profits are night and day if you compare it to the Premier League top 8 for example. This is why one of the strategies to keep their club profitable is to sell players. The rule that requires the club ownership to be at least 51% also makes it difficult to get sponsorship[1] (I'm not sure if this is still the case or not). So if you have a club like Bayern, who can pump out money for you, then most clubs will accept that. I also heard that Dortmund still does this because Bayern saved them from bankruptcy in the past.

On the other hand, sometimes the player just wants a move to Bayern[2]. They can get a lot of money, more or less guaranteed to get a trophy as long as they play there for a few seasons or so, and so on.

With the current conditions for Dortmund it looks like they really have to give up the race for the trophy because seeing from the current situation they are already 20 points behind Leverkusen and 10 points from Bayern so for now their focus is not on the trophy race but trying to stay in the top 4 because this is still a fifty-fifty and it could be that if they are still like now it is precisely for the top 4 it is also difficult for them to get.

The current situation for Dortmund is still not too certain because their consistency is still lacking, making Dortmund currently not too comfortable with their position. Currently they are in 4th place but looking at the number of points earned it is also not a good thing to boast about because they can still be overtaken.

The difference of 1 point with Leipzig could make them lose momentum and get out of the top 4 this season. So if they really want the Champions League position next season then inevitably Dortmund must be able to improve their performance.
 

Dortmund in previous seasons have been very much active and eager to chase the trophy. Although at the moment the chase isn't off, they've still got every chance in store to prove themselves. Their game against Wolfsburg was scheduled for yesterday and it was technically a determinant of how good they've been but one certain way, the host kept up the tempo and intensity of the game and ensured the visitors didn't get to outshine them in their home ground.

 They've had scaly strides from the start of the season up till now, they've managed to scale through in the UCL, no one knows their fate in the next round but there's certainty that there's difference in their performances now and then too. They're a good team that just needs to find back their balance, there confidence level has dropped big and corrections needs to be made soon enough too. There's no time out to let go off winning chances, it'll keep drawing them back. This season, there's been a switch in the dominance that occurs in the German league, the professor Xabi is one key threat to Munich who's in time past being the head and leaders of the league.
 
 Even though last season, there's been a trail behind from Dortmund, comparing all the years, only Leverkusen have been overtime been able to maintain the difference in standings on the contention battle. Tuchel knows that a serious tussle lies ahead and as the season draws to an end, there's greater chance to create growth opportunities too. I'll love to see how the end of the season will look like for the German clubs as it's highly expected that unlike Dortmund, Leverkusen would make the big difference.

Xabi and his players can become champions without loss this year. Despite all these matches, they still haven't suffered a single defeat.

Bayern Leverkusen's performance has surprised everyone this season, as they did not finish in the top four last season, which would have qualified them for the Champions League. This season's performance was unexpected and shocking to everyone. With their level of confidence and their track record of winning game after game, they should be able to win the league title and crown the winner by the end of the season, which is quickly approaching. After this season, it would be difficult for them to continue this form because they'll be losing their current coach, and all teams will not want to play average football with them but an intensity one in which if they’re not ready, they can easily be defeated by it.

There is no doubt this is one of the best season for them in years, and surely they deserve praise because they keep things at the top level even mostly players are not top quality as we have in other clubs like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid which is also at the top of La Liga their consistency and their quality was at his best and coach bring good chemistry in players which help them throughout season for keeping things at the top level having result like this with average players is surely best from the Xabi Alonso which is also having first full season as coach after joining Bayer Leverkusen at the end of 2022 now they need to keep him for more seasons because his presence will bring good improvement in quality and their consistency will be surely at better level which will help them for having good results in future as well.

Dortmund is not consistent in stopping Bayern Munich from winning the title? Dortmund is not able to do it at all. The last time they won the Bundesliga title was in 2012. That is now soon going to be 12 years ago. They have been doing well financially and they did great scouting all the time and signed super talents and so on and so forth. They had a lot of different coaches and yet they were not able to stop Bayern Munich a single time from winning the title in 12 years. That's why their talk about their ambitions is useless by now. At every start of the season they say their goal is to compete for the title and to give Bayern Munich a hard time, but they never really get close to it and if they do they fail miserably like last season.

Now we have Bayer Leverkusen at his best even mostly believe they will keep their team and things will be also good for the next season as well if we have no changes then surely we can expect good competition in next season as well and Bundesliga could be on another level which will surely increase their fan base and quality as well which is important.

If this happens, it will make the Bundesliga League competitive and interesting to watch because Bayern Munich will have clubs that will rival them for the Bundesliga trophy. I see this as not happening because Bayern Leverkusen will want to sell their best players to raise money for the club, and Bayern Munich will want to buy some of their players so that they will not be a threat to them next season.

Dortmund have had a lot of very skilled players in this time period indeed. Haaland for example was a great transfer for them. But they sold him and many such skilled players like him. They have been making a lot of money thanks to this kind of agreements though. But selling so many players such as Haaland, Bellingham and many more is moving them away from a title chance. 

They were actually quite close to achieve a title in the previous season but they wasted a huge chance there as well. Leverkusen are about to make it in only one season with Xabi Alonso after starting to compete for the title. 

[fuguebtc]

I'm actually very happy because I am finally watching some other club giving competition for the Bundesliga title. For quite a long time it was just Bayern Munich and Dortmund. And sometimes it was Leipzig. But this season Leverkusen has been showing a great performance and looks like if something really unexpected does not happen they will take the Bundesliga title. They have created a big difference in terms of points with Bayern Munich, 10 to be exact

But they will also have to realize that there is still a long time to go in this season.
Only 24 matches have been played.
So there is still a chance for Bayern Munich to make a comeback.
Alonso will have to be careful that the squad does not have or fall into any big injury problems.

[Alpha Marine]

That's not really a good thing for Bayern to be fair. You may think that every player wants to play there, but you do not realize what that causes and what that means. It means that everyone will want to play much better against Bayern so that they would be scouted and Bayern may end up getting them, so players will play their very best against Bayern, if you play against them and you suck, there is no way that they would buy you.

Teams indeed play their best against Bayern, not just because the players want to impress, but because it's a bragging right if you win against a team like Bayern. The same can be said about other LA Liga teams facing Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Bayern always ends u winning those teams most of the time. That goes on to show how hard they need to work to stay at the top. That is why I don't agree with people that try to belittle Bayern's achievements with excuses like "they play in an easier league".

Secondly, not like they are a poor club, so whenever someone is requested by Bayern, they end up asking for a lot more, if the same player is wanted by a team like Freiburg, there is a limit on how much they could want, but if Bayern wants them, they will want much more money than other teams.

This, I do not agree with. Bayern Munich doesn't buy players from other Bundesliga clubs for high prices. Look at the amount they got all the players from other Bundesliga teams, they're not expensive compared to when the clubs are selling to other big teams in Europe. Usually, Bayern don't even sign ridiculously expensive players. Kane is the first 100 million signing they've made.

Wolfsburg also lost their last game. They did not win a single game since the start of the second half of the season. That' are already 7 games. Nevertheless the club is still holding on to coach Nico Kovac. But with a gap of 8 point to place 16, things are becoming increasingly critical. The next game is against Leverkusen and that will probably not be a game in which anyone expects a win for Wolfsburg. The goal for this season were the international places. But they are a long way apart from that.

Dortmund fans will always be disappointed with the management of their favorite team who always releases star players, maybe that's how they have survived all this time as a big team. Last season was very disappointing for Dortmund, and this season they failed to appear to be a team challenging for the title, Leverkusen appeared impressive so they were able to distance themselves from Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso is now a cool-handed manager, in a short time he was able to build an unbeatable squad, the way Xabi Alonso manages Leverkusen is truly great.

Yes, Bayer Leverkusen this season has been truly extraordinary, Munich's hard-to-break dominance can finally be broken this season by Bayer Leverkusen.
There are still 10 games left and a difference of 10 points. There may still be changes at the end of the season. If Leverkusen makes a mistake, it is not impossible that Munich will take over the top of the standings.
but looking at Leverkusen's performance this season and the 10 point gap, I think it will be very difficult for Munich to catch the extraordinary Leverkusen this season.
and everyone hopes that Leverkusen can win the German League title this season, because everyone is tired of seeing Munich who is always dominant, I see this will be good for the Bundesliga because Leverkusen's victory indicates that the Bundesliga is becoming more competitive.

This probably won't be a big problem for Bayer Leverkusen because the team can buy other players to be trained well by a coach who is currently quite successful. I think there are many teams who really want a coach like the one Bayer Leverkusen has now, which makes Leverkusen unbeaten to date in the Bundesliga. Next season, Bayern Munich will not only be targeting new players, but will also be targeting a new coach to make the team better so that it can continue to compete competitively in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

But they are a long way apart from that.

Niko Kovac last season almost bringing Wolfsburg to playing at European competitions but unfortunately in the last match of last season Wolfsburg lost so they have failed to finish at top 7 because their position on league standings was overtaked by Frankfurt and i think this factor makes Wolfsburg owner still hold Niko Kovac as the manager but indeed Kovac have to bringing Wolfsburg to bounce back immediately because if Kovac unable to do that then i am sure his position will be threaten and not impossible he will be sacked before this season ended

Wolfsburg last win happened on December and during 2024 Wolfsburg was never able to gets win results again in Bundesliga and i am not sure Niko Kovac can be considered as good manager for Wolfsburg because during his career Nico Kovac has experienced being sacked several times in the previous teams he handled because before handle Wolfsburg Kovac was sacked from their position as manager of AS Monaco however regarding Wolfsburg upcoming match unfortunately when they required more points to improved their positions on league standings Wolfsburg will fight against Leverkusen and with their condition certainly Wolfsburg will be lost again

So far, Leverkusen has been very good at rotating their players, so I think Alonso will keep the performance of his players in good condition and of course ensure that his team can perform optimally in facing each opponent, therefore we have never seen Leverkusen lose because they have been very good so far. Consistently maintaining their winning streak, Alonso is very smart in managing each of his team's plays so as not to experience unnecessary defeats and they have maintained that record this season.

I'm sure that Munich will not catch Leverkusen with a difference of 10 points at this time even though they will recover from adversity especially just because seeing them win against Lazio yesterday it is not something to worry about with that victory especially as Munich hopes to catch up with Leverkusen now it looks impossible , because Alonso really maintains his consistency in maintaining their record of being an undefeated club this season, I am sure and confident that Alonso will break Munich's dominance this season and will win the Bundesliga title this season without too many obstacles and they will complete the results which was good in the last few games at the end of the season.

But they are a long way apart from that.

Even though I thought Wolfsburg would be a tough challenger in the top 10 of the standings since the start of the season, but in fact that couldn't be maintained and they continued to get bad results which made them now fall further down to closer to the red zone. There are times when a team cannot be stable in maintaining its performance, then the next thing they get is destruction and Wolfsburg actually wouldn't go down so badly if the results could still be maintained well.

Coach Nico Kovac is responsible for all the less than optimal results obtained by Wolfsburg so far but I am still optimistic that this coach will improve it before the season ends. There is no chance for Wolfsburg to win and just being able to hold a draw is something they can be proud of against Leverkusen who have been so crazy this season. It should also be noted that Wolfsburg has the same 25 points as Union Berlin and Bochum, this means the three teams will compete with each other so as not to fall into a lower position.

But they are a long way apart from that.

Wolfsburg performance is indeed surprising this season with too many defeats, last season Wolfsburg was able to end the season in the top 10 but it seems that it will be difficult for them to repeat it again this season, although currently Wolfsburg only has a gap of 8 points from Bochum and may reduce it to 5 points in the Leverkusen match later, but somehow it seems that Wolfsburg's chances of staying in the Bundesliga are still very large,  Because at the same time in Wolfsburg match against Leverkusen, Cologne also has to face Gladbach who is indeed stronger than Koln at this time, as well as Bochum who has to face a strong team Freiburg, and Union Berlin looks like it will be impossible to get 3 points against Sttugart, so it seems that next week we will not see significant changes occur in the bottom standings so the gap between 8 points will still separate Wolfsburg from 16th place.

The chances of Wolfsburg surviving in the Bundesliga can also be based on the factor of their frequent draws at this time when facing stronger teams, besides that so far I think Wolfsburg performance is still better than teams like Koln, Mainz and Darmstadt which is currently in the relegation zone.

If this happens, it will make the Bundesliga League competitive and interesting to watch because Bayern Munich will have clubs that will rival them for the Bundesliga trophy. I see this as not happening because Bayern Leverkusen will want to sell their best players to raise money for the club, and Bayern Munich will want to buy some of their players so that they will not be a threat to them next season. 

This probably won't be a big problem for Bayer Leverkusen because the team can buy other players to be trained well by a coach who is currently quite successful. I think there are many teams who really want a coach like the one Bayer Leverkusen has now, which makes Leverkusen unbeaten to date in the Bundesliga. Next season, Bayern Munich will not only be targeting new players, but will also be targeting a new coach to make the team better so that it can continue to compete competitively in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

It's no wonder that the Leverkusen coach is currently in the spotlight for his fine performances in the Bundesliga and even in the Europa League. And it's no wonder that many clubs want Xabi to be their coach, especially Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich will always target players and even coaches who pose a threat to them, this is one way they can continue to dominate in the Bundesliga. Some people, especially fans who have to lose their mainstay players because they were bought by Bayern Munich, will definitely think it is something cheating, but this is football, sometimes the strategy must be done not only on the field, but also off the field must play a strategy.

This is easy for Bayern Munich because they have good financial strength, so that helps them realize what they want. Borussia Dortmund is a clear example of something done by Bayern Munich, we can count how many players who eventually became Bayern Munich players after performing brilliantly for Borussia Dortmund. Moreover, Borussia Dortmund is also a club that likes to sell players.

But I'm sure, Bayern Munich only failed this season but for the next season I'm sure Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga again. But indeed, with the note that Xabi Alonso leaves Bayer Levserkusen, because if Xabi Alonso still stays at Bayer Leverkusen until next season, then of course the competition in the Bundesliga will remain competitive. Apart from that, I will also still be waiting for Bayern Munich new manager for next season and if everything has been decided then yes, of course the considerations for next season may change or remain about the return of Bayern Munich's dominance.

Because after all, this season Bayern Munich only failed because of the great success of Bayer Leverkusen, and Bayern Munich did not fail because of Tuchel and it is also not about a curse about Kane. So yes, basically I am very sure, that this season is purely because of the great success of Bayer Leverkusen, which makes Bayern Munich fail this season to win the Bundesliga trophy.
