Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Mayor of ogba]

They are players with a lot of ambition and they are trying to score more and more goals day by day. They reflected this on the field in the Bochum match. Bayer Leverkusen has a great understanding. They are undefeated this year with Xabi and if it continues like this, we should seriously consider the possibility of doing so next year as well.

They had a great season this year but I don't expect them to be that good next season because other teams will be more careful against them now. They have 3 games left this season. They have one game left in the league, they will play the German Cup final and they will play the UEFA Europa League final. They are very close to finishing this season undefeated. That would be an extraordinary record. No doubt it will not be easy for another team to break this record. Bayer Leverkusen are making history.

Bayer Leverkusen did give a surprise to its supporters because they managed to win this season. As long as the coach that Bayer Leverkusen has is Xabi Alonso, then of course he will still give his best guidance and try to win again next season. Currently, Bayern Munich's toughest opponent is not in their best condition, making it very easy for Leverkusen to win in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayern Leverkusen did not only win the Bundesliga title, but they are likely to end this Bundesliga season unbeaten. Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is impressive, and their players are committed to doing what Xabi Alonso asked them to do so that his tactics will work fine. It will take a long time before we can see any club that can perform like Bayern Leverkusen is performing this season in all competitions.

Could Union Berlin be relegated this season? considering that they only have 1 match left against Freiburg at the weekend. Previously, Union Berlin wasted an opportunity when they were beaten by Koln with a score of 3-2 and this meant they had to be replaced by Mainz who had got 3 points from the win over Dortmund.

Now the possibility is that if Union Berlin wins against Freiburg they will still be in the Bundesliga next season and if Mainz wins against Wolfsburg then Union Berlin will be in vain with their victory later. But at least it's not complete relegation because Union Berlin will still go through the play-off round for relegation so their option to survive to the Bundesliga next season is still quite safe. How do you see Union Berlin's chances until the final match? is there any magic for this team?

I think that's ironic because last season Union Berlin was quite strong they even can occupy 4th place with only gets 8 loses during last season but i don't know why although Union Berlin bought some players to strengthen their squad but Union Berlin performance this season is compeletely messed up and now they only can occupy 16th place with only gets 8 wins and 19 times lost even last week Union Berlin have to lost from Koln which on the paper the quality of this team is below to them and about Union Berlin last match against Freiburg i think if they win it will not make Union Berlin automatically escape from relegation zone because we have to wait the results matches from other teams just like Mainz and Bocum

So if these teams lost and Union Berlin win then most likely Union Berlin will be avoiding relegation zone but if Union Berlin lost from Freiburg then their position probably will still remains at 16th place but Union Berlin still have any chances to survive at Bundesliga 1 because if Union Berlin finish at 16th place they have to fight against the team from Bundesliga 2 for play off match and Fortuna Düsseldorf will be their opponent at play off stage and in my opinion considering the performance of Union Berlin is very not stable then most likely they will lost from Freiburg

Union Berlin is definitely going to get relegated. Because they will play the next match against Freiburg. It is definite that Union Berlin is not going to win that match. So, unless they are able to win that match, and at the same time the teams that are above them lose, Union Berlin is definitely going to get relegated.

well, I think I should be a little more specific. Union Berlin is definitely going to play in the relegation playoffs. So if they do finish on that position and play well in the relegation playoff match they will have a chance to stay in the Bundesliga, if they win that match. but if they are unable to win the relegation playoff match, considering they finish in the 16th position in the Bundesliga this season, they will definitely face relegation and not play in the Bundesliga the next season. looking at the current performance that they are showing, I think it is going to be foolish to expect a lot from them at this moment.

Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is impressive, and their players are committed to doing what Xabi Alonso asked them to do so that his tactics will work fine. It will take a long time before we can see any club that can perform like Bayern Leverkusen is performing this season in all competitions.

Leverkusen and Xabi's target is to go unbeaten this season. Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen side are unbeaten in the Bundesliga. At the same time, the team is still unbeaten in the Europa League. We see great performances from Leverkusen players in every match. In addition to winning the Bundesliga title, the team is now trying to become the Europa League champion.

If Leverkusen will be the Europa League champion and if Real Madrid will be the Champions League champion then we will see a Madrid vs Leverkusen match. And I am waiting for this match. Leverkusen will likely taste their first defeat against Madrid.

[Salahmu]

Could Union Berlin be relegated this season? considering that they only have 1 match left against Freiburg at the weekend. Previously, Union Berlin wasted an opportunity when they were beaten by Koln with a score of 3-2 and this meant they had to be replaced by Mainz who had got 3 points from the win over

Yeah they have a high chance of only qualifying for Relegation play off although their might be chance for them to improve more but only if they can be able to win their next match against Freiburg because they currently have 30 points while Mainz have 32 points and considering the club Mainz will be meeting on their next match which will also be their last match, they could stand on a higher chance of losing that match because Wolfsburg is currently above them on the table but although checking their last match against Borussia Dortmund Mainz could still possibly win the match if they should be able to perform the way they did on that match against Borussia Dortmund because it takes a good performance for a club like Mainz to win Borussia Dortmund.

So if perhaps Mainz was able to win Wolfsburg then Union Berlin will no longer have the opportunity to leave the relegation zone even if they win or they lose, so if the match plays this way their is no magic Union Berlin will perform that would work for them.

So, unless they are able to win that match, and at the same time the teams that are above them lose, Union Berlin is definitely going to get relegated.

There is a big possibility that Union Berlin will lose in the match against Freiburg, but it does not rule out the possibility, if Union Berlin is able to secure its position. with the condition that Mainz, the team that is above Union Berlin's ranking, suffers defeat. but it seems like Union Berlin is really having difficulty getting up from their downturn, they experienced a series of bad matches this season and were only able to win 8 of their 33 matches.
So we agree, the probability of being relegated is quite high for Union Berlin. It's a shame if that's the case, even though in the previous season Union Berlin was quite troublesome for the top teams in the Bundesliga. well, if in next week's match Union Berlin is unable to win the match against Freiburg. That means, it is very likely that Union Berlin will remain in 16th place.

As for Koln, it seems difficult for them to win the match against Heidenheim with a big score. At a minimum, Koln must score 5-6 goals to shift Union Berlin's position.
Let's just assume that Union Berlin can still fight in the playoffs, as you said. However, with current performance conditions, the chances of dropping from caste seem to be more in favor of Union Berlin. I mean, there is a big possibility that Union Berlin will not compete next summer in the Bundesliga. But we'll see how things develop, because the Union Berlin vs Freiburg match hasn't been held yet.

[kawetsriyanto]

I feel like all three of those games look like it is quite possible for them to win. Atalanta will surely be the hardest one, they are the team that managed to beat Liverpool and we could see them get a win there too, but Atalanta is still not good enough as Bayer leverkusen, it looks like they may not be as good and we may see Leverkusen lifting the trophy at the end of that game.

I think the same, Bayer Leverkusen has a good chance to win the final 3 matches for this season.
Sure, the match against Atalanta in the final Europa league should be the most difficult match. Atalanta isn't a weak team from Serie A, this teams also proved they are strong by reaching the final round in UEL. Xabi must be very careful to prepare Leverkusen lineup for the match. However, I'm sure Leverkusen can beat Atalanta if Xabi applies the tactics and choose good starting lineups.

Augsburg game doesn't look tough, they just need to focus to win, which they are very good, and dfk pokal game looks like it is not even going to be all that complicated for them and they will get a win. I think the best thing to do right now would be just making sure that they do not lose themselves in this high morale situation they are in at the moment.

Just take a look the stats of last 5 matches of Augsburg! It is very bad stats, Augsburg isn't in its good form. So, it is very unlikely that Leverkusen will have a problem playing against this team. I'm sure Leverkusen will score many goals against Augsburg, recently Augsburg got many conceded goals. It indicates Augsburg defense is very weak, it should be an easy match for Leverkusen.

For the final of DFB Pokal, Leverkusen will play against a small team from the second league in German. This team is even not the top team in Bundesliga 2. In theory, there is no way that FCK will beat Leverkusen.

[hahay]

It is natural that Leverkusen is very ambitious because they have the ability to do it after becoming an unbeatable team in every match. Apart from wanting to become an unbeatable team in the Bundesliga, the Europa League Final and DFB Pokal are Leverkusen main ambitions to make treble winner history this season. So far everything is going very well for Leverkusen, they have just managed to achieve a brilliant record after going 50 games unbeaten this season.

Leverkusen is still on its way to a big record, there are still targets it wants to achieve after Xabi Alonso succeeded in making Leverkusen one of the strongest clubs this season. If they are able to seal their ambition of being an undefeated team in one season and add to that by winning the Europa League final and DFB Pokal, it will be a journey that is very difficult to forget and will be recorded in gold ink.

Leverkusen has everything to make it a history that they will make in a few more games, with all the possibilities of course they are motivated for that, but apart from that I think the most important thing now is not thinking about the unbeaten history that they will make but the 2 games they will play another final, even though Leverkusen has a very large percentage of being able to win these 2 finals, they also have to prepare quite well.

After all, there is only one more match in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen to be able to successfully write new history in the world of football without losing for a full season in all competitions. At least, in the last match in the Bundesliga and the final of the DFB Pokal, I personally am completely sure that Bayer Leverkusen will still win or just draw against Augsburg, but anyway,basically I sure that Bayer Leverkusen will win. Next in the Europa League final match, basically in this match maybe surprises can still happen, because Atalanta cannot be underestimated at all. But despite this, one last match in the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal final and Europa League final, I sure Bayer Leverkusen is still capable of doing their best.

[Oluwa-btc]

Bayer Leverkusen have showcased some good performance, that will create good opportunities for them to dominate through out this game because Atalanta players will experience some mistakes that will make the game easy for Bayer Leverkusen to win.

Now that Bayer Leverkusen have a good coach that is reliable, in every game to help their team to take victory to make their fans feel good because he gave them potential orientation that is helping the players to do well to qualified for final game.

Looking at the two teams in this game, I believe Bayer Leverkusen will be the winner of this final game because they have strong players that will  secure goals that will make the game to end up for their favor.

Bayern Leverkusen having good performance don't mean Atalanta will not be focused to play good football. We also cannot say this when the game ain't going on. How can you predict football this way? This is far from a good analysis to make already.

Respect to Xabi Alonso but you also have to give credits to the home and away fans who traveled tirelessly to support the club, the players and both the manager and his assisting coaches, they have all contributed in different ways to come  to this level finally. Much is expected after the 50 games unbeaten setting their own records.

I'm not even bothering about that game, I'm here thinking how it'll be in the Super Cup Finals between Real Madrid and Bayern Leverkusen.
It's been a great season for Bayern Leverkusen. This is a good one for the managerial experience of Xabi Alonso. I would love to see him as the manager of Real Madrid one day.

[tiCeR]

Which means that even if a big name reaches out to players and makes a great offer, Leverkusen might get some backing from their sponsors to say no for as long as they can.
Seeing this project thrive not only for one or two years, but maybe four or five years would be badass.

For sure there will be some offers from other clubs for a few players , but why should i leave when the team is great and good,
and also they can play next season in the Champions League.

It is now already getting started and it seems that Frimpong is very close to making a decision against staying in Leverkusen. It is said he has a release clause of 40 million euros. Frimpong is one of the key players and I believe it is already damn sure that he won't be the last player who either has some release clause or who will receive an offer that maybe even Leverkusen can't reject. But players like him are so essential. If it was only 1 player leaving the club, I guess that would still be ok and not too much of a hassle for the club. But this scenario where maybe 4-5 players leave Leverkusen, I'd kind of be disappointed as I believe the team as it now is was born to be successful. The football they played wasn't just a season full of luck, it was serious stuff. But they need to keep most of the players in order to continue like that.

[Abu-Naim]

At least, in the last match in the Bundesliga and the final of the DFB Pokal, I personally am completely sure that Bayer Leverkusen will still win or just draw against Augsburg, but anyway,basically I sure that Bayer Leverkusen will win. Next in the Europa League final match, basically in this match maybe surprises can still happen, because Atalanta cannot be underestimated at all. But despite this, one last match in the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal final and Europa League final, I sure Bayer Leverkusen is still capable of doing their best.

I am not taking Leverkusen’s last match against Augsburg as a tough match, in fact I have written it down that they have already make history going the entire season without a defeat in all competitions including the UEFA Europa League; I do think there remaining matches both in the Bundesliga, Europa League final against Atalanta and their cup final will be a problem; although it’s possible for them to lose in any of these three matches, but I am very sure that they will end the Bundesliga undefeated this season which a good record set by Alonso and his boys.
Winning the Europa League will be an added advantage for the team and will make Leverkusen to be the best team in the world this season even though Real Madrid and other teams performed very well.

[Lafu]

It is now already getting started and it seems that Frimpong is very close to making a decision against staying in Leverkusen. It is said he has a release clause of 40 million euros.

This would be for sure a bad thing for Leverkusen if he will be leaving to an other club.
Maybe there will be an offer from Leverkusen that je will be stay.

The football they played wasn't just a season full of luck, it was serious stuff.
But they need to keep most of the players in order to continue like that.

Very true that the football they played this season was awesome and nice to watch.
So i guess that the Leverkusen management will be try all that they can keep the players.

[Ndabagi01]

Leverkusen is still on its way to a big record, there are still targets it wants to achieve after Xabi Alonso succeeded in making Leverkusen one of the strongest clubs this season. If they are able to seal their ambition of being an undefeated team in one season and add to that by winning the Europa League final and DFB Pokal, it will be a journey that is very difficult to forget and will be recorded in gold ink.

When Bayern Leverkusen wins the treble this season and completes their unbeaten run, it will be a record that will take years or decades before another team can achieve that same record. I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon. Bayern Leverkusen form should continue next season and not be like other teams that shines in a season and go off again for a very long time. They’ve a bigger season awaiting them by next season, I just hope they can match up to the standard of that competition that’s going for them by next season.

[red4slash]

Bayern Leverkusen did not only win the Bundesliga title, but they are likely to end this Bundesliga season unbeaten. Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is impressive, and their players are committed to doing what Xabi Alonso asked them to do so that his tactics will work fine. It will take a long time before we can see any club that can perform like Bayern Leverkusen is performing this season in all competitions.

Currently, their unbeaten record has increased to 50 matches after a big victory against Bochum with a score of 5 goals 2 days ago so this is definitely a record that is difficult to break.

At the moment their targets are still the DFB final and the Europa League on the horizon but a Bundesliga win, even if it doesn't really matter because they've already got the trophy, can be a good morale booster and of course it's a good thing to keep their record intact.
Next week it looks like against Augsburg they will make a few rotations to keep their players from feeling shortchanged especially in the next 2 weeks they will have 2 finals so that their treble target is obtained according to plan.

I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon. Bayern Leverkusen form should continue next season and not be like other teams that shines in a season and go off again for a very long time. They’ve a bigger season awaiting them by next season, I just hope they can match up to the standard of that competition that’s going for them by next season.

Even if Leverkusen fails to win the treble, their unbeaten record of 50 matches will be very difficult for any team to surpass in the future. Moreover, if Leverkusen is able to finish the remaining 3 matches with a win, they will win the treble by never being defeated. Maybe the opportunity for another team to win the treble in one season is very open, but it would be a little impossible if they did it the Leverkusen way.

Talking about next season, the challenges that Leverkusen will face will certainly be different, and Xabi Alonso is of course very aware of this, so maintaining performance at the same level as this season will not be an easy task. Xabi Alonso must be able to manage Leverkusen to remain stable and consistent in domestic competitions and the Champions League, and that clearly requires harder work. All contestants will definitely rebuild their squad, in the Bundesliga Bayern Munchen and Dortmund will still be Leverkusen toughest rivals in defending the trophy.

After reaching the final of the Champions League, Dortmund have secured their place in the Champions League next season. Dortmund will face Mainz, the team that knocked them out of the title last season, away from home. Mainz are struggling to stay in the league and this is a make or break game for them. However, Dortmund will want to avenge last year's defeat. However, Dortmund have won their last 6 away games against their opponent. I will choose a side for this bet and my favorite in this match will be Dortmund.

Yes, fortunately they actually did very well in the UCL. So they still have a chance in the Bundesliga even though in reality in the domestic league, their performance is not that optimal. However, Dortmund's success in the UCL is also thanks to their very significant efforts in every match, not just because of luck. Anyway, yes, in the Bundesliga itself, they only have to face Darmstadt. Forget about the embarrassing defeat against Mainz and it's time to switch focus to the next match in the Bundesliga against Darmstadt.

Bayern Leverkusen did not only win the Bundesliga title, but they are likely to end this Bundesliga season unbeaten. Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is impressive, and their players are committed to doing what Xabi Alonso asked them to do so that his tactics will work fine. It will take a long time before we can see any club that can perform like Bayern Leverkusen is performing this season in all competitions.

More interestingly, not only in Bundesliga, but also so far in all league matches, Leverkusen has not been defeated. they have the record of unbeaten so far and hopefully this record can be maintained until the end of this season. they still have one remaining match in Bundesliga against Augsburg. And I do believe that Leverkusen will win this match, although this may not as easy as we think. And in the UEFA Europe league, this is still final against Atalanta which will be very interesting to match.

[EL MOHA]

Currently, their unbeaten record has increased to 50 matches after a big victory against Bochum with a score of 5 goals 2 days ago so this is definitely a record that is difficult to break.

At the moment their targets are still the DFB final and the Europa League on the horizon but a Bundesliga win, even if it doesn't really matter because they've already got the trophy, can be a good morale booster and of course it's a good thing to keep their record intact.
Next week it looks like against Augsburg they will make a few rotations to keep their players from feeling shortchanged especially in the next 2 weeks they will have 2 finals so that their treble target is obtained according to plan.

If you ask me the final game against Augsburg definitely matters a lot to Bayer Leverkusen. They have all the season been producing back to back stoppage time comebacks just to keep up their unbeaten record and you think they would want to just let it slip away at the die minutes. I don’t think they will have to rest players for Augsburg Game as it looks clear that Xabi Alonso definitely eyes the unbeaten record which will be the first of its kind in the Bundesliga and since the one achieved by Arsenal invincibles in 2002.

They play more less 3 finals in less than 10 days and seriously I am backing them to win the games comfortably. I see Xabi only dropping players at most in the DFP pokal final due to the team in contention.

[entertheabyss]

I feel like all three of those games look like it is quite possible for them to win. Atalanta will surely be the hardest one, they are the team that managed to beat Liverpool and we could see them get a win there too, but Atalanta is still not good enough as Bayer leverkusen, it looks like they may not be as good and we may see Leverkusen lifting the trophy at the end of that game.

Leverkusen are aiming for heightened targets and will not back down from accumulating huge points for themselves. Xabi Alonso will be ever ready to lead his team to glory because he's the master mind behind their successful run all these months past. Bayer Leverkusen are simply the best team to come out this season. They're unbeaten and they're also on the verge of winning treble which happen to be thrilling for them. They will meet Atalanta in the Europa League final which also consider a tough one for both sides.

It actually matters the most, because because being unbeaten winner in the league is more historical than DFB Pokal or/and Europa League trophy. That's why Alonso keeps pushing his team to put efforts in their every game. Usually a team who has won the league tend to lose in their remaining games because they don't put effort anymore.

There are 3 teams who won their league with unbeaten record; AC Milan in 1992, Ajax in 1995 and Arsenal in 2002. Arsenal went unbeaten only in the league, the other two went unbeaten in all competitions, including won Champions League trophy. Leverkusen will be on this list, if they can prevent a loss against Augsburg, and this gives more prestige in the historical sense. The last 3 games for Leverkusen are 3 finals in literal sense, because each win will be a history for the club.

[TelolettOm]

This would be for sure a bad thing for Leverkusen if he will be leaving to an other club.
Maybe there will be an offer from Leverkusen that je will be stay.

It cannot be denied that Frimpong is one of the key players at Leverkusen who has made a very good contribution to his club. At least, he has contributed to providing 14 goals and also 12 assists in the 44 matches they have played. In fact, his performance, which was considered quite brilliant, was able to attract the attention of some big clubs in other leagues. Like Man City, MU, Arsenal, Real Madrid and others. And this will be quite bad for Leverkusen if many more key players leave them. But, it will be again another challenge for Xabi to bring Leverkusen much better than this season, of course.

They are players with a lot of ambition and they are trying to score more and more goals day by day. They reflected this on the field in the Bochum match. Bayer Leverkusen has a great understanding. They are undefeated this year with Xabi and if it continues like this, we should seriously consider the possibility of doing so next year as well.

They had a great season this year but I don't expect them to be that good next season because other teams will be more careful against them now. They have 3 games left this season. They have one game left in the league, they will play the German Cup final and they will play the UEFA Europa League final. They are very close to finishing this season undefeated. That would be an extraordinary record. No doubt it will not be easy for another team to break this record. Bayer Leverkusen are making history.

Bayer Leverkusen did give a surprise to its supporters because they managed to win this season. As long as the coach that Bayer Leverkusen has is Xabi Alonso, then of course he will still give his best guidance and try to win again next season. Currently, Bayern Munich's toughest opponent is not in their best condition, making it very easy for Leverkusen to win in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayern Leverkusen did not only win the Bundesliga title, but they are likely to end this Bundesliga season unbeaten. Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season is impressive, and their players are committed to doing what Xabi Alonso asked them to do so that his tactics will work fine. It will take a long time before we can see any club that can perform like Bayern Leverkusen is performing this season in all competitions.

This season's Bundesliga is coming to an end. This season, Bayer Leverkusen has performed very well and provided a surprise for the Bundesliga audience. Hopefully in the next Bundesliga season Bayer Leverkusen will still provide excellent results. I'm sure there are many opponents who will prepare their strategies to try to beat Leverkusen next season and will not let Leverkusen win easily again.
