Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It would be best if Xabi Alonso can coach Liverpool as he'd be the best replacement for Jurgen Klopp when the former leaves the club at the end of the season. Some will say he's inexperienced and  can't be fit for the job since he hasnt won any title and as this is his first season at Bayer Leverkusen, probably he'd be a 1 season wonder and as such an experienced hand like Gareth Southgate, England coach, be the man for the job.

The English league competition will be much more difficult and if Alonso fails it will mean his career will not develop. I prefer that he train a club in Spain or stay in the Bundesliga because he has just built his career, so making the wrong decision could have an effect on him. Precisely because he hasn't been tested enough, he has to really look at opportunities at clubs that are profitable for him. Becoming a Premier League coach is not as easy as being a coach in other leagues because there it would be so easy for management to terminate the contract even though the time has not yet arrived.

I just feel he'd be able to understand the club better since he has played there before and he seems like a man who doesn't easily cave under pressure. See the record he's setting at Leverkusen and if the season ends like this, he would have managed to go unbeaten since the bundesliga season started.

Even though Alonso has been at Liverpool, it is not certain that he will be able to achieve success there because the competition in the Premier League is so strong. I am more confident that he will be successful in Spain because it will give him more experience to become an experienced coach so he can become a successful coach in the future.

But I am sure that Bayern is still the overwhelming favorite in this game as Dortmund lacks consistency and it is rather unlikely that Dortmund will show their A-game just in that moment against Bayern. It is more likely going to be another disaster for Dortmund.

For sure Bayern Munich is always the favorite in every game and not only in the game against Dortmund.
Even Dortmund was not really playing good the last Weeks and this season i guess its possible that they maybe get a point out of this macth and maybe win.
This means not that it will be easy and they also need a bit of luck also but it can be happen , and i would love to see that.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Xabi Alonso has made quite the right choice for his future and he was also a player on the Bayern Munich team at one time. So choosing to coach the Bayern Munich team in the next season is quite wise for him because considering the quite logical reasons as you say and if Bayern Munich is able to get a more prestigious title through Xabi Alonso's coaching in the coming season, I think that that would be quite extraordinary for the team and also for Xabi Alonso himself. Because this season he is also trying for Leverkusen to win the European League and Bundesliga.

Xabi Alonso joining Bayern Munich next season will benefit his career because he will rise in rank, earn more money, and have the opportunity to win more trophies in a short period of time due to the quality of the team, the players, and the management's willingness to bring in the best players to keep the team shining and in top form in the Bundesliga. I would have preferred that he join Liverpool FC, where he previously played and has a successful career. Liverpool is also looking for a new coach after Jurgen Klopp announced that he will be leaving at the end of the season.

Joining Bayern Munich and playing against Bayern Leverkusen will seem absurd to me; this is where he earned the big name he now has and is sought after by every team. It should not be now; he should be facing them in a few years after leaving the Bundesliga to coach another team in another league before returning to the Bundesliga. I still wish him all the best; he deserves every credit he's getting now.

If Alonso decides to accept Bayern Munich's offer, I think it would be a great opportunity for him to coach. He already knows how the Bundesliga works, so he won't have to learn everything from scratch. This experience will make his coaching journey much smoother and less stressful. While Liverpool might also be a good option, I personally think it would be better for Alonso to stay in the Bundesliga for a bit longer before considering a move to another league. Switching to a new league means he'll have to learn all over again, and that can be challenging.Plus, I believe Alonso will receive many more offers at the end of this season, which might lead to confusion. So, it's important for him to carefully consider his options and make the best decision for his coaching career.

[Minecache]

Yes it makes sense if Alonso prefers Bayern Munich over Liverpool. The Bundesliga climate is very much different from the English Premier League so it might make Alonso's reputation not dim. But I am sure Alonso is a figure who likes challenges is not a problem for him handling any team even though he is still minimal experience. Although he is currently successful with Bayern Leverkusen, I will not consider it too much because changes in every season will also affect the figure of the coach, I mean let Alonso enjoy his beautiful times with Leverkusen first.

I never thought it was bad if Xabi Alonso preferred Bayern Munich, because he knows better the situation in the Bundesliga and what all the clubs there play like, because he has good experience at Leverkusen. However, in my opinion, if Xabi Alonso chooses to move to become Liverpool coach, it might be better for him to look for new experiences and situations to develop in the Premier League. Because in my opinion the strategies and games in the Bundesliga and the Premier League are very different, in the Premier League there are always lots of surprises which really test mental strength in managing strategies and formations in the squad. Therefore, it is very suitable for Xabi Alonso to take part in the Premier League in order to get a new challenge to be able to provide his total energy and abilities as a coach.

But, if Xabi Alonso chooses to accept Liverpool's offer, I think it is very risky that the result is failure. Because yes, basically Xabi Alonso also still does not have much experience although indeed, Xabi Alonso's success at Bayer Leverkusen is certainly a great experience and also a very impressive result. But thus, if Xabi Alonso chooses Bayern Munich's offer, then at least there is a guarantee for Xabi Alonso to still have good results at Bayern Munich. Because yes, basically the competition for titles in the Bundesliga is not as tight as the Premier League and moreover, of course Xabi Alonso will easily adjust many factors that exist when becoming Bayern Munich's head coach. Although indeed, to accept the Liverpool offer I think will still happen in the future, but not at this moment.

I think it is not going to be a bad idea for him to go to England. If he chooses Bayern Munich, it is going to be a safe choice. I guess a lot of people would want him to make safe choices, especially at this stage of his managerial career. But I would certainly like to see him make bold choices. Maybe it is not going to be a bad idea for him to test how it is to be a manager of a big club Bayern Munich. But I believe people are not going to like that idea. And you definitely get more popularity if he goes to a big English Premier League club and brings in good results. That is going to solidify himself as a great coach. But at the end of the day the choice is his to make.

Xabi Alonso is probably the hottest manager out there. He's contract with Leverkusen runs till 2026, but apparently, according to Sport Bild, he has a release clause for three specific clubs: Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. If that's true, I don't think he'll resist taking the offer from any of the three.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Alonso in Liverpool, as probably that would be more of an upgrade. And no one really knows what is Klopp up to, he might take a short break, or he might join Bayern or (more likely) Barcelona.

Bayern Munich are behind while Bayer Leverkusen maintains the lead, always hitting on the their opponents harder because they're aiming to maintain such good run ups. There are elite teams coming for Xabi Alonso but he turned them down because he wants to focused. Xabi Alonso is the best coach in the European football, he achieved quite alot this season and have become one of the best thing to ever happen to Bayer Leverkusen in decades. He's not leaving because he's keen on building something he started, he's victorious in matches.

See the record he's setting at Leverkusen and if the season ends like this, he would have managed to go unbeaten since the bundesliga season started.

I'm not sure if that's a wise move for Xabi Alonso to move to another team and especially another league right now. Xabi Alonso had perfect performance since he started working in Leverkusen and the Bundesliga but can't be sure if he can also have this good performance in the other teams. There is the chance for this coach to have poor performance in the other teams need this way we can say Xabi Alonso was a good coach but only in Leverkusen, not the other teams. now we are talking about another league and there you can see many different things compared to the Bundesliga which is not good for a coach like Xabi Alonso.
Also, Liverpool is currently in a good situation and any coach who starts working there will be under pressure because the fans expect him to have the good performance they saw before from Klopp.

Ancellotti will stay on madrid and it's no longer valid to link him to the real madrid as there was still ancellotti which has been rpeviously extending his contract to stay much longer in the club. The only possible teams will be liverpool and bayern munich but i have heard that if xabi has been leaning toward bayernmunich instead of liverpool.

It seems like that bayern munich is fully ready in acquiring him as a new coach. Bayern must also pay around 22 millions to get him from leverkusen. Leverkusen was willing to see him stay for another season but it's unlikely to happen soon.

In order to strengthen its squad and bayern munich must have recruited a good coach to handle the club. This is a must caused by tuchel's overall performance is not making me as fan feel satisfied with it.

Bayern's officials need to get rid him off from the club. I don't even like the way tuchel was coaching the club, bayern is getting very inconsisten when tuchel has been recruited as a new appointment for the club.

I think it's time to kick him. There's no better

Liverpool are indeed in condition where they are really interested in bringing in Xabi as the coach who will replace Klopp next season, but this may not necessarily happen because we all know that Xabi himself has the desire to bring Leverkusen to new history with various titles.
Moreover, in the rumors that are currently circulating, the name of the Bayern Munich team has also emerged which is also interested in having Xabi as coach there, clearly this is something that could make things difficult for Liverpool if they want to get Xabi services.
Moreover, the Premier League is not an easy competition and Xabi might be able to do well if he coaches Liverpool, but if there is failure then it is clear that Xabi will risk his career.
I admit that Xabi could have brought Liverpool to much better performance, but when the name Bayern Munich comes up I tend to prefer to see Xabi with Bayern Munich, he will definitely work very well if he trains Bayern Munich.

It just that perhaps there will be some sentiments that arise from football fans if Xabi trains Bayern Munich because in the future they will meet Leverkusen, who is Xabi current team.
But this is competition in football and replacement between players and coaches can occur in any team, even if they are teams that are both competing in the same league competition.

Munich have no chance of winning the Bundesliga title this season. Even so, Munich have one of the strongest squads in the Bundesliga. Compared to the teams in the Bundesliga, Munich is still the strongest.

Bayern Munich will undoubtedly be considered favorites against Dortmund. Munich's past record against Dortmund is very good. Munich have won their last two matches against Dortmund by 4-0 and 4-2 respectively. And of the last 5 head-to-head matches, Munich have won four and drawn one match. So it is expected that Munich will win the next match as well. Moreover, the Dortmund team is not in a good rhythm now.

I also don't doubt Bayern Munich for this match where they will ensure the three points even though it won't affect their position in the standings because they are too far behind Bayer Leverkusen.
Borussia Dortmund is not a team that will give Bayern Munich difficulties later, because the statistics say so, what's more Bayern Munich is in very good condition, after the surprising defeat to Bochum Bayern has not been defeated and is even the team that scores a lot of goals, and considering that Dortmund is also defense is not so good that it is very possible that Bayern will score several goals or the score in their last two meetings will be repeated again in this meeting, although Dortmund certainly does not want to be replaced by Leipzig who are ready to move up to fourth rank because facing Mainz it is very possible to get three points.

there are a lot of people who doubt Xabi when he goes to a team from another league and that's very natural because we only doubt his experience, who currently doesn't have much experience, so there's no harm in doubting Xabi when he goes to Liverpool to serve as coach.
however, I have a small assessment that if Xabi will accept the offer from Liverpool, he will definitely be successful there, even though he will need at least 1 season to see the playing style of other teams and will improve the performance of the players after knowing the right strategy and this is what is being done. Xabi last season could not provide the best performance for his team but he succeeded this season.
even so, there is one very important question, namely will Xabi accept the offer from Liverpool?
from this question we will know that Xabi will remain at Leverkusen for several seasons to come.

I sees this game more like a banana peel to Bayern Munich if they feel too complacent of how it has really been easy in putting dortmund away, mostly at the alliance arena, but if they don't feel complacent and they decide to take this game very serious, them I am quite positive that they can win this game very well, considering the fact that their performance of recent have really improved, so just as favourite as they are now, it wouldn't be ok at all to their fan if they can't win this game, so it's a must win game for Bayern Munich, to build more confidence ahead of their  upcoming encounter between them and arsenal.

Xabi and which team he will go to is just a pure speculation at the moment, I do not believe that they are going to be all that much aware of his decision more than us. Newspapers will just write whatever they want to write and won't care about anything. Bayern is in troubled position right now, sort of because of Xabi as well, so him wanting to go to Bayern would not make sense, but even if that's true, even Xabi doesn't know who he will pick yet as long as it is not official.

We should wait and see, until the very very official deal being public to everyone, I will not believe anyone at all. It should be important to realize that we are going to end up with some stuff that are not easy to handle, so it is not going to be easy.

Newspapers can be great sources of speculations because they're all doing this for clicks. Besides, there's nothing on going about Xabi Alonso. We're all making predictions about his next move and destination.
Personally, I would love to see him end up as a Bayern Munich manager, for the next four years and he will have the chance to work with a good number nine, win the Bundesliga League Competition and also the Champions League Competition to boost his profile before finally leaving for Liverpool so he would be respected.

They're also one more game left until the cup finals. They look likely to win the treble this season if they get to workout and win the European Europa League Competition this season.
Victor Boniface also reported to be back training, we'd see if he would get the selection of joining the weekend game or against West Ham United in the first round of the game.

I understand Xabi Alonso. Great tale. Like world-class football experts, everyone has an opinion. Me? Waiting for the official announcement. Despite their appeal, rumors are pointless. Bayern is a shambles, even for Alonso, so moving there is risky. Football is unpredictable, right? Maybe he can repair things.

Bayern and the treble - that's ambition. Every manager wants that ultimate flex. Talk is all there is until then. No need to guess the ending; we're just watching the show. Relax and observe what Xabi does, as you indicated. Stress not. We have the greatest seats in the house.

I believe Xabi will move to Liverpool rather than Bayern. Although both are still rumors and there has been no official announcement. I think Xabi will focus more on developing a Leverkusen squad that can adapt to Xabi's playing tactics rather than having to build the same tactics for Munich. It's not like Girona where they are a mediocre team that is surprisingly able to compete at the top of the standings. Leverkusen is a solid team and is able to beat Munich and dominate the Bundesliga. Of course all rumors can come true. But I won't believe that Xabi will choose Munich for next season.

You are right. Dortmund are not a team that can resist against Bayern Munich. A few days ago Bayern Munich players were not in good form. But in the last few matches we have seen excellent performances from the players of Munich. Munich's players are in good form now.

The Bayern Munich team has performed well in the last two matches. Munich won by 81 against Mainz and Munich won by 5-2 against Darmstadt. Although Dortmund is not such a weak team, Munich's players will also try to dominate this match. And since the match is Munich's home match, Munich's win is more likely. Betting on Bayern Munich to win, hopefully Munich will not disappoint us.

There is no need to make assumptions here, but you need to see what Alonso says about this and what the mood is in the teams. It is strange that with all this movement, Bayer has chosen a rather passive role, and is not trying to keep him in his team.

The Munich team are actively negotiating both with Alonso’s agent and with him personally, so it seems to me that everything here looks pretty obvious, although there is no signed contract yet, anything can happen. And if you believe what you can hear from Alonso, he is more inclined to move to Bayern. If he achieves good results with Bayern, then doors will also be open for him in any team, so he has nothing to lose.

So far still not announced yet with personal verbal agreement between Bayern Munich and Xabi Alonso and seems want to focus with Bayern Leverkusen until the end of this season. Have rumor linked with Xabi Alonso's future will be Bayern Munich manager but have many teams waiting for him not only Bayern Munich but also Liverpool and Barcelona without manager next season announced their interested for Alonso.
Actually little interested if next challenge from Xabi Alonso keep staying with Bundesliga next season by becoming Bayern Munich manager, he almost winning Bundesliga trophy in this season Bayern Leverkusen and has unbeaten record almost one season what the difficult in bundesliga again? better accepting with Liverpool's offer for next season and fell how compete Premier League as the most difficult competition around the world.

[klidex]

Yes it makes sense if Alonso prefers Bayern Munich over Liverpool. The Bundesliga climate is very much different from the English Premier League so it might make Alonso's reputation not dim. But I am sure Alonso is a figure who likes challenges is not a problem for him handling any team even though he is still minimal experience. Although he is currently successful with Bayern Leverkusen, I will not consider it too much because changes in every season will also affect the figure of the coach, I mean let Alonso enjoy his beautiful times with Leverkusen first.

Maybe this is because Xabi Alonso still has to hone his skills in the Bundesliga so he dared to explore other leagues to increase his experience in the world of coaching, and I also understand that because every coach definitely needs a long process to become the best coach. Slowly but surely, the most important thing is Xabi Alonso continues to hone his strategy so that it is not easily read by other clubs because this is very important to achieve victory. So far, the strategy that Xabi Alonso has choaching Leverkusen is very good and not easily read by opposing clubs so that this season no one has been able to beat Leverkusen in all competitions. And if Leverkusen wins the title with a complete victory it will be a truly amazing achievement.

But even if Xabi Alonso finally leaves Leverkusen, I don't think so now because Leverkusen has just tasted the Bundesliga title with Xabi Alonso, it would be more fun if Xabi Alonso presented several trophies before he left, or if Leverkusen didn't want the coach to leave, at least Leverkusen did something to make an offer according to his abilities so he remains at Leverkusen for a longer period of time so that big clubs have no chance of getting him.
