Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Altryist]

Of course, all teams that have new coaches hope to be better than before, including the fans of each team who of course also hope that their proud team will show the best. with Bayern Munich failing to win a trophy, of course it disappointed their fans, but I think the brand's fans can still accept it because just this season they failed to win a trophy, of course they definitely want Bayern Munich back to its glory days, but it's true that you say Leverkusen is still a title challenger for Bayern Munich.

It's true what you said, Xabi Alonso certainly has to be able to balance his focus. With this, Xabi Alonso can definitely do it well, they still have to be able to appear consistent in both. I don't think Leverkusen will experience a decline, but in the Champions League they might have difficulty competing because the teams they will face are big teams. This is actually a good opportunity for Leverkusen, because they will face an experienced team that can sharpen their mentality to become better.

Coaches are changed so that something in the team changes for the better, but it seems to me that this can only be counted on if a truly experienced coach comes to the team, and not one who will gain experience with a stronger team. It seems to me that for the result the level of the coach and the team must match, and I don’t know how ready Kompany is for such a team. On the other hand, he had a very good teacher, perhaps one of the best, and he already had some experience as a coach.

I don't see any reason comparing Napoli with Leverkusen and using that to judge the future of Leverkusen. If I must let you know that Napoli had problem of a coach and that was why they performed eru poor this previous season. Moreover, Napoli didn't finish the season unbeaten when they won the league.
Leverkusen is still have their coach with them that made the victory possible so it is an advantage to Leverkusen to be able to try as much as possible to win the league again because Xabi Alonso will improve the performance of the club as time passes by. I know that they cannot be unbeatable next season.

Yes, in my opinion we cannot compare Leverkusen with Napoli because Napoli performed impressively in the 2022/2023 season but then their performance became very bad in the 2023/2024 season. Leverkusen has a genius coach like Xabi Alonso and I am sure he will be able to bring Leverkusen back to competing at a high level. Leverkusen has a weakness in one-on-one play and it was visible when Atalanta implemented highpress man to man marking tactics. But I'm sure Alonso knows his team's weaknesses and will make several player purchases in this transfer window. I'm not sure Leverkusen will go undefeated again next season. But Leverkusen will still be able to win the Bundesliga and may also be able to reach the UCL knockout stage.

Bayer Leverkusen impressive performance last season makes them strong contender for Bundesliga title. With Xabi Alonso at helm they have talented coach who will push hard for another trophy. However it won't be easy as Bayern Munich has new coach and Harry Kane who will be determined to succeed after failing to win with Tottenham. Competition will be tough but Leverkusen has potential to repeat their success. It is exciting to see how season will be played and whether Leverkusen can overcome challenges and win again. Alonso leadership and team determination will be important in their pursuit of another title.

Bayer Leverkusen shocked everyone it was just as if they changed the way thing are done because it as always be Bayern Munich and Dortmund one of the things that got me amazed was the fact that Bayer Leverkusen did a great job surpassing a lot of clubs, who would have Bayer Leverkusen to top. Xabi Alonso have been a great coach to them and with this he has done a lot of clubs will want him in their club also, just because of what he as accomplished. sometimes you might not know the importance of having a good coach until you see them archiving things, just imagine if pep should leave the city what will become of them.

Having a new coach is also a lot of work because before they start understanding them self it will be a lot of work because the pattern of the previous coach is going to be different from the new one. so Bayern Munich still have a lot of work to do in other to get back their glory but for now I don't think so it will take a lot of time for them to get their glory back even with them having a new coach. Xabi Alonso will do anything in his capacity to keep the club maintain their glory because it will even create more opportunities for him, every seasons is always taking a new shape, you never can tell what you will be expecting.

But Leverkusen will still be able to win the Bundesliga and may also be able to reach the UCL knockout stage.

Of course, it cannot be differentiated from Napoli because Leverkusen has the same coach, so it is very likely that Leverkusen will be stronger next season, I think so after seeing the progress of this team since being coached by Xabi Alonso.
Defending the Bundesliga title is not easy, but what I still believe is that Leverkusen will still be able to maintain its performance next season. Whether it is winning the Bundesliga or not, I think the percentage will not be too big because Bayern Munich has also built its team to be stronger.

And Leverkusen will compete in the UCL stage next season, they will face difficult opponents there so it is right for Leverkusen to build a stronger team.

So far we haven't been able to map out the strengths because we haven't seen Leverkusen's movements in the transfer market, maybe after the Euro the teams will aggressively recruit players and I really hope that Leverkusen will bring in lots of quality players.

[arimamib]

So far I only see Bayern Munich who are seriously active in improving their squad for next season and therefore they have completed deals with several players. However, other teams such as Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig have not yet seen their movements in the transfer market this time and only a few rumors have emerged.

Is it possible that some of these teams are still monitoring the talents who are currently competing at Euro 2024? because every time there is a competition, it always produces shining players who will be competed for by various teams. On the other hand, I know that the depth of their current squad is no problem at all and I think if this season there are no additional new players then they are confident with the squad available.

After experiencing a slump and also not being able to maintain their dominance this season, of course, Bayern Munich began to try to improve their squad in order to be able to compete next season, this season is certainly the worst season experienced by Bayern Munich after more than 10 seasons dominating the Bundesliga, so it is not surprising that they seem to be very active in monitoring every player who is considered qualified to be able to add depth to the their squad next season, the change of coach is certainly not enough for Bayern Munich to get back on their feet so indeed they continue to target several new players for them to get next season.

Actually several other teams are also doing the same thing with Bayern Munich, but I think clubs like Dortmund and Leverkusen tend to look for new talent and also players who are not famous for them to recruit because indeed their finances are not as good like as Bayern Munich, but what you say is also true, currently Euro 2024 is of course one of the solutions for every club to look for new players because it is usually in the euro we will see Many talented young players stand out but have a low price.

I guess its nomal that there are rumors and maybe transfers speculations for the most of the bigger teams in the german league when the Euro 2024 is running.
Even there are a few transfers from Bayern Munich done i guess the other Teams dont sleep in this time.
So there will be for sure some of the named Teams from you waiting when the Euro 2024 is over or take the chances to get in contact with the players.
Its always a good time for players to show what they can do on the field.

Probably many teams are monitoring players in Euro 2024 as well. Euros have a really good impact on teams to make their transfer choices.  

I think Leverkusen won't need to make big changes this summer. Because they seem likely to keep a serious part of their squad from the previous season. Tah might leave in case he wants to sign for Bayern Munich while they have some interest in him. Then Leverkusen would look for signing a centre-back. Even Wirtz is staying but for only 1 season for now.

Dortmund is closing in on signing Guirassy from Stuttgart. Thinking he has only a release clause like 17.5 million euros, it would be a great job.    They are interested in Ferdi Kadıoğlu from Fenerbahçe too who is a really good talent. Maatsen's loan spell is ending so they will need a LB transfer.

Of course it should be like that, or the point is that a coach must provide everything new and better to his new team to improve the team's performance to be better prepared to dominate next season, Bayern Munich is a big team that has many achievements in the Bundesliga, meaning that indirectly this is a big task that might be quite heavy for Vincent Kompany, I don't know if Kompany will be able to fix the problems at Bayern Munich or not, but the point is there is absolutely no reason for him to make a defense when it turns out that there is no change from Bayern Munich's performance next season. But according to rumors Kompany is the only coach who is considered to be able to restore or improve Bayern Munich's performance for the better, and yes hopefully he will not disappoint us all, especially the fans, because obviously I think Leverkusen will be a much stronger competitor next season.

Bayern Munich are elite team and will make accomplishment for outstanding runs. When we're talking about talents, Bayern Munich ranks first in bundesliga because there's more to handle this season. Bayern Munich will improve thier performance next season and we know how tough they will become. Afterall, they've succeeded in signing one prominent coach, Vincent Kompany. He will definitely make moves for the club and will apprehend good style of play.

[piebeyb]

Yes, of course everyone knows that currently all the key players in the team are competing for their countries in Europe, that's why not many big teams are shopping for players, I actually don't want to know too much about spending on these players because for me it's not just about recruiting players, many new coaches have been recruited by several teams to be able to find new styles of play in their teams, apart from that, many new coaches want new players for the main squad in order to make changes for the better next season.

Xabi Alonso certainly doesn't want to take rash actions, especially in making decisions because he could make the wrong purchase and recruit players who are truly productive and of good quality. Xabi Alonso may also need time to get the players he really wants, of course he can carrying out the strategies and tactics that he will apply in the new season, the defeat against Atalanta in the UEL yesterday certainly left scars that must be paid in full in the new season through the UCL. It seems that Leverkusen will not bring in many new players in their main squad because they will definitely focus more on using the players currently in the main squad.

Leverkusen is the only team that has been able to break the dominance of Bayern Munich and the last decade, so this is indeed very surprising at the moment and of course makes Bayern Munich quite embarrassed, but even so we cannot deny that Bayern Munich is still the favorite team to be able to win the Bundesliga next season, currently Bayern Munich is starting to approach several new players in order to be able to restore their pride and dominance in the Bundesliga Next season, in my opinion, although currently Leverkusen has the quality and ability to destroy Bayern Munich, but next season they will be very difficult to compete with Munich.

You and I have the same thoughts to see Bayern Munich will be successful next season, but I don't agree when you say that Kompany is a well-known coach because indeed his experience in coaching is still very little, but the gamble that Bayern Munich is currently making by appointing Kompany as a coach, certainly has a lot of considerations and of course it may be the right decision to bring Munich back to dominate next season.

[FanEagle]

Getting a title is definitely something that makes players more valuable, but also not getting it will make them go down a lot more. Meaning, if any player at Leverkusen is overvalued right now, that means they could be even more overvalued next season if they win it again, however they would crash harder if they end up failing.

Look at how valuable Osimhen was last summer, you could have found a team willing to spend 100 million on him easily, look at him now this season, still the same? Of course not. Meaning, if Leverkusen wants to make a profit from their players as quickly as possible, then they should sell them right now, or they are facing a possibility of losing their value next season if they end up failing to win the title. Or they can wager on their talent, and if they win again, it could be even more valuable as well.

Xabi Alonso and his team have achieved great success. It is very difficult to continue this success. It is wondered what the players in the European Championship will do during the transfer season. They left behind a very good season and their fans expect another successful season from them. It is difficult to maintain success in football every season, and great teams can achieve this. I wonder what Leverkusen will do next season.

They could not show what they wanted on the field in the Atalanta match, and Atalanta made good use of the opportunities they found. They managed to stop Leverkusen with a tough game approach. If Xabi Alonso can learn from this match and apply it to his team, Leverkusen will continue on its way successfully.

I don't think Leverkusen will make money by selling their players right now. If this is what Leverkusen wanted to do, then Xabi Alonso would have been the coach of a new team this season as well. He did not stay as Leverkusen's coach. I think Leverkusen will definitely try to win the title next season. Leverkusen will want to dominate the Bundesliga. Selling the players will transform Leverkusen back into a mediocre team. I think Leverkusen management will not make this mistake.

If Leverkusen is like Napoli next season, Leverkusen will surely suffer a big loss. You are right. But what if Leverkusen can win the title again? Indeed we should think of two options.

Let's see how it goes if the season starts, because I can see that different discussions have been made about Kompany since he got signed by Bayern Munich. Some people are saying he won’t be able to restore the squad's performance as they want to perform aggressively this season, while others are thinking he can do that in a short period of time. I know that the Bayern Munich squad is good and they have experienced players, but the thing is that the fact that Kompany is going to come with his own style of play that the players are not used to will make their performance kind of weak a little at the start of the season, and it may happen when they start getting to the company strategy.

 Bayern Leverkusen have taken over because I’m still hoping for Bayern Leverkusen this season again; they are very good and strong. Furthermore, Bayern Leverkusen have been promoted to the Champions League, which will make them tougher than last season.

You just called Vincent Kompany a prominent coach when a lot of people are arguing that he is not the best choice for Bayern Munich and he can’t bring them to success next season. In as much as I believe that  Kompany shouldn’t be underrated on what he can do with this wonderful squad, I still think it’ll only take a lot of efforts by him to make Bayern Munich be the best team next season in the Bundesliga. As we await the season to begin, I’m optimistic for him to surprise all those that never trusted in him to make Bayern Munich succeed.

Getting a title is definitely something that makes players more valuable, but also not getting it will make them go down a lot more. Meaning, if any player at Leverkusen is overvalued right now, that means they could be even more overvalued next season if they win it again, however they would crash harder if they end up failing.

You know winning the league is one thing and sustaining it by retaining the title for the second term is another extra effort needed from them. Bayern Leverkusen should be ready to face a more difficult challenge than last season. Talking about an unbeaten run, they’ll need to x200 their effort to attain anything close to that. All teams have seen their potentials, so they won’t be so lenient playing with them.

I am trying to speculate wildly, next season will be a crucial season for the Bayern Munich squad in the Bundesliga. not only because of the players, but also more because of their new coach. yeah, Kompany's performance is still very questionable before he can prove it. although we can assume, he will do his job by giving all his attention and energy when rebuilding Bayern Munich under his guidance. however, there is something that concerns me, as was the case when Nagelsmann was still Bayern coach. He has a not so good relationship with the Bayern Munich players themselves, especially the senior players. the breakdown in relations within Bayern Munich resulted in Nagelsmann being removed from the coaching chair. at least, one rumor related that there was a problem in the Bayern Munich dressing room with the coach at that time.

Now Bayern is managed by Kompany, who in fact is a young coach, if Chemistry doesn't go well it will be difficult to achieve what Vincent Kompany is targeting, planning and implementing for his team's squad. that's why, I say that the season that will start later will be a crucial season for Bayern Munich under the guidance of Vincent Kompany. either he can do it, or his career at the Allianz Arena will not last one season. moreover, his rivals are now trying to build their squads to compete before the competition starts. Well, that's why I prefer to wait first to see how Kompany plays match after match with his Bayern Munich squad.

@rendravolt

I have not heard Leverkusen trying to bring in really big players. Yes, they are well-known celebrity for growing up young talent, but now they have to change their mindset a little. I expect German champions are not thinking that the squad that they had in the last season is going to be enough for them. I hope after an undefeated season Xabi Alonso are actually trying to improve the squad because maybe, just maybe there is a possibility that the squad that they had in the last season is not going to work in the next season. You know, this is the first time in their history they have achieved the Bundesliga title, so now the opponents of Leverkusen, they know about the tactics that Alonso is going to use.

and again let’s just say they are still unable to stop Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso will still need to improve the depth of the squad. He will have to bring in players so that if the players of the main 11 get injured, he has suitable replacements for them. They are the winner of the Bundesliga title. Nothing less is expected from them other than defending the Bundesliga title successfully.

Indeed no team should come close to Bayern Munich when it comes to record and domination in the Bundesliga, they are the elite team as you said and they are team with the highest number of world class players in the league. Just because they failed to win the Bundesliga title they used to win back to back last season, many people had started to doubt their ability to stop Leverkusen next season especially because of the manager Vincent Kompany they signed. Some of us are underrating Kompany’s ability, we are taking him as a coach with no big team experience, but for Bayern Management to chose him among all the coaches they listed before signing him, they know the potential they see in him that made them sign him, and I am hoping he will do his best to stop Leverkusen and win trophies for Bayern.

[bering]

Dortmund is closing in on signing Guirassy from Stuttgart. Thinking he has only a release clause like 17.5 million euros, it would be a great job.    They are interested in Ferdi Kadıoğlu from Fenerbahçe too who is a really good talent. Maatsen's loan spell is ending so they will need a LB transfer.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1805998938417213870

This is officially that finally Dortmund being an the winner to gets Guirassy signature and previously i was discuss about Guirassy next clubs because after decided will leave Stuttgart then Guirassy was targetting with some of European big clubs and even AC Milan and Arsenal is really serious want him but apparently he choose Dortmund as his next club and i think this is good transfer for Dortmund because with his quality Dortmund can gets Guirassy with release clause price which very cheap and the detail about his duration contract with Dortmund will be announce soon

One of Dortmund weaknesses this season why they performing poor is their front lines is quite weak because this season in Bundesliga Dortmund only scores 68 goals from 34 matches and these records is decline because on season 2022/2023 Dortmund can scores 83 goals which these records too makes them can able to occupy runner up place at that time

I think Dortmund current manager Nuri Sahin has realize these weaknesses so that's why he was immediatelly targetting new forward player and now Guirassy has become theirs and i have positive thoughts about this transfer because probably Guirassy can being an important player for Dortmund for next season and since Haaland leave to Manchester City Dortmund doesn't have sharp striker so maybe Guirassy can became an the replacement of Haaland who potentially can scores a lot of goals for Dortmund
