Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Docnaster]

We haven't seen much of the Leverkusen side in the club friendly games and we already know all they did last season and is like they're resting to prepare for the upcoming season which we know is not going to be an easy one this time around. With Xabi Alonso still with the team who he led to a wonderful finish last season, can we still expect same result or should I say something much bigger and better than last season knowing quite well that Bayern Munich are not backing down with the new manager Kompany, can Alonso's men defend their title and make life unbearable for the other Bundesliga teams ones again? To me I'm not sure about Leverkusen next season, how they'll play but I'll tell you for sure that they are everyone's target next campaign.

Like you rightly pointed out, haven't engaged in many preseason games like their counterparts from the other European leagues. The only preseason friendly game they've played so far is the one they did play against Essen on Friday but before the next season officially kicks off, Bayer Leverkusen have already lined up three friendly games. They play against French club Lens next Saturday before they'll play against Arsenal and then round up their preseason against Spanish side Real Betis. I think playing four games as preseason games as a German Bundesliga club isn't a bad idea considering the fact that the league is less  demanding than other European leagues that consists of 20 clubs

Yes, there are only 4 pre-season matches for Leverkusen before they really focus on the Bundesliga. One friendly match that might be quite interesting is when Leverkusen faces Arsenal at the start of next month because this duel will determine the extent of their concentration level when they meet a stronger team. It will also be a good review for coaches to set the ideal strategy for each pre-season match.
On the one hand, I think Leverkusen is so strong with the polish built by Xabi Alonso last season that they just need to maintain their quality level for this season.
Indeed, Leverkusen's match schedule this season will be tighter because they will be playing in the Champions League, which means their energy must be really ready when at the same time they need to win. But with their performance last season, I don't think it will be too difficult for Xabi to manage it as well as possible so that their targets are achieved this season.

In addition, this also aims to make Nuri Sahin sure for his players because we know that Nuri Sahin is a fairly new coach and his experience is not as much as other coaches because he is new to the world of coaching so it is quite natural if he starts concocting from scratch so that next season Dortmund runs well so I think the final results and performance in this friendly match are not bad for Dortmund.

Nuri Sahin i think knows what he will be doing and how to handle the players he have in Dortmund and a lot of players know him when he was playing there.
An interesting thing i just have seen is that Nuri Sahin was playing in Real Madrid in the year 2011 - 2012 damn.
But anyway for sure the most friendly games before the season starts is testing and to see how far the players are with there fitness and stuff.
Looking forward to see the first official game from Dortmund and who will be there playing.

Currently, Nuri Sahin's pressure is actually the same as Kompany where he is a coach who is relatively new to coaching a big club so he must undergo his first season well.
Although we know as a player he is known especially when he was in Madrid but to be a coach and a player it is clear that it has a difference and Nuri Sahin must be able to make the most of this opportunity because after all, by coaching Dortmund at this time, it can make the situation in terms of his popularity as a coach can be lifted or even ignored.
When he later succeeds in bringing Dortmund to a better direction then there is certainly a condition that indeed becomes very good just like Xabi in these 2 seasons, but when his performance leans more towards a decline in performance then it is clear that the same situation faced by Tuchel at Bayern last season could happen to him in the coming season.

I consider pre-season or friendly matches very important. At least for the big teams, these matches are important. Because only in the midst of these matches can you understand the capabilities of the team. And if the coach is experienced, he sees the performance of the players in these matches and identifies the team's weaknesses, and takes necessary steps to fix the weaknesses. Even in these matches, the coach conducts various experiments with his squad.

Leverkusen will face Lens and Arsenal in the next two friendlies. And these two teams are strong enough. Xabi will get an idea of ​​what his squad is capable of in the match against Lens. And I'm looking forward to Arsenal vs Leverkusen. In this match we will get an idea about the strength of both the teams.

To me I feel these guys need to play less with what they have done but that doesn't mean they should forget what's ahead because when you think of what they (Bayer Leverkusen) did last season you'll be so happy to even say they don't need to play any friendly, just go and rest but in football you need to always be at your best and if you look closely you noticed that Bayern Munich are trying to get back that trophy next season. Not playing much games doesn't show that they (Leverkusen) won't do well, to me this friendly games is just to bring out those young ones, for them to showcase what they have to offer should incase they are given the opportunity to join the senior team and nothing more so I think the Leverkusen side should continue with the lite friendly game. And going against Arsenal is a game I believe they're going to try not to lose while Arsenal on the other hand have been brilliant in the friendly games they have played and the Gunners would like to keep a good record before the start of next season.

Leverkusen will face a much more interesting match because facing Arsenal will provide a real picture of the strength of Xabi Alonso's team next season. Likewise with Arsenal where Areta can make team adjustments before facing the official competition.

Every season teams add several new players to their squads. And in these pre-season matches, the new and young players of the team try to adapt themselves to the other players in the squad, and match tactics. Also the coach can know about the overall condition of his squad. These are the reasons why pre-season matches are important.

There's no doubt that Leverkusen performed well last season. After a long time, the Bayern Munich team lost their dominance in the Bundesliga. However, I don't think Leverkusen will dominate the Bundesliga this season as they played well last season. Serie A side Napoli were champions in the 22-23 season, but performed very poorly in the 23-24 season. So I would say Xabi Alonso has to be very careful this season.

I agree with you. The quality of new players in the squad can be tested during the pre-season matches. New players who are added to the squad can be checked if they are fit for the squad. Also, coaches can experiment with different match strategies in pre-season matches. If the coach can successfully experiment and identify the weaknesses of the team, then it is possible to maintain the stability of the performance from the beginning of the season. But if the internal problems or weaknesses in the squad are not identified, the team's performance at the start of the season will be slow and erratic.

Leverkusen were last season's champions. The Bundesliga title will definitely be their target next season. And since Bayern Munich will be doing their best to regain their old dominance next season, it will be much more difficult for Leverkusen to become Bundesliga champions. So Xabi Alonso will try to stabilize the team before the start of the season.

[klidex]

In last night's match I didn't expect Bayern Munich to only draw with FC Duren even though in the previous match against FC Rottach they were able to score so many goals with a score of 14-1.
And what's worse is that Bayern Munich conceded first in the first half, this is a bad result for a club like Bayern Munich at least they can win the match even with a narrow score, this must be a revision material for Vincent Kompany so that his players play better in the future.

To me I'm not sure about Leverkusen next season, how they'll play but I'll tell you for sure that they are everyone's target next campaign.

At present the matches that different teams are playing these matches are only friendly matches so the teams are not giving much importance to this match but when the season starts but the main competition will be seen with each team. Leverkusen may not perform as well as last season in the friendly matches, but they will surely perform well when the main season starts. It will be very difficult for Leverkusen to do well this season as their biggest obstacle this season will be Bayern Munich. Bayan Munich did not plan against Leverkusen in the last season, but in the next season they will plan hard against Leverkusen, in that case, Bayan Munich may not want to lose points in any match. Leverkusen won last season so I would definitely want Bayern Munich to win next season and lose the Bundesliga title.

I am not sure this match will end in a draw because Munich itself brought some of its mainstay players, and indeed this match is very difficult to win by Kompany's team, but if you look at the overall statistics Munich did dominate the match completely but they could not break through the opponent's goal to score the winning score, and the equalizer was only created in the second half, I see Kompany is not a good coach for a big team but what Munich gave him did not produce results I think he should leave the field. Munich is a historic club in Germany but they trust Kompany in all of this, I can't believe they failed to win against a lower caste club, I don't know how he will develop this team, a team whose players are all star players and he can't run it, from the beginning I myself have been full of doubts about Kompany who was appointed as Munich's head coach because he has not proven himself worthy of being there, but after the draw against Duren I hope he will immediately evaluate with his team so he can find his game to make Munich historic again in his hands.

[tygeade]

Defense is indeed something that Dortmund needs to fix before they start the new season, I see Dortmund's pre-season matches are not too good they always concede goals from weaker clubs, it's useless if they have a good attack line but their defense is weak then their opponents will know their weaknesses and create strategies to defeat Dortmund.
However, I realize that if the coach does not bring out the best players in this pre-season match I think Dortmund still has a good defense let these matches be evaluation material for the coach to solve the problems that occur in his club.

Despite pre-season matches not fully determining the form of a team, the truth is that many teams that perform well in pre-season often do well in the main season. If a team uses its full squad during pre-season and their performance is poor, it's unlikely that they will perform better when the season starts. I haven't been watching Dortmund's pre-season matches, but based on some comments I've seen, it seems they have issues with their defense. If that's the case, the head coach needs to take quick action and find a solution, perhaps by signing great defenders. Sometimes, it's through pre-season that one can start predicting some teams performance.

I disagree about that all together. I think friendlies means nothing and teams do not deal with anything serious and do not play that well at all. Players don't care, they are just playing like it's a practice game and they are just jogging, the mindset of "I must win this game" is not there at all, and this is why we do not see good teams end up getting great results against lower teams at friendlies all the time. What teams are trying to do in these games is to just test players and their fitness, that's it, if a player is fit that's good enough, and they try to see any new transfers and how they are doing too.

So, if you do not play any friendly at all, and suddenly put the players in a real match, they are going to be out of breath within 15 minutes, no matter how professional these players are, and no matter how great their body might be, if you do not give them some friendlies before the season starts, they will not be in shape, even an intra-squad friendly won't help you, you need to play against some other team. We will see teams turn it around when games start to mean something, I can guarantee you that. We are going to end up with Bayern, Dortmund and many others, end up getting their wins as usual.

There are several measurable stats to consider as the board appoints Nuri Şahin as replacement coach. However he is good coach and will always knows the prospects to deliver. He's one of the youngest coach we have around in Germany, 35years old and watching him taking over from Edin Terzic, I give him some accolades depending on his stats for the club. Borrusia Dortmund have main issues and weaknesses that needs urgent fixing. The defendlines is probably a problem for them.

Coaches experiment more when their teams play in pre-season or friendly matches, young players get more playing opportunities so that coaches can assess their abilities. Coaches also often tinker with formations while the match is still in progress, the aim being to test the players' abilities when placed in different positions. The result of the match is not the main goal of the coach when his team plays in pre-season matches, he prefers to review the depth of his squad and also find new talents from young players.

Facing Arsenal is a challenge in itself for Leverkusen, but the coach will still not take this match seriously. The line up will still be dominated by young players and supplemented by several senior players, the coach does not want to take risks in friendly matches, maintaining the fitness of the players is much more important than forcing them to play, if an injury occurs it will be very detrimental to the club.

I can see it based on Bayern Munich squad from this match and some of their key players still unable to played because i didn't see the names such as Manuel Neuer, Harry Kane,Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala besides that Bayern Munich new players such as Michael Olise and João Palhinha still hasn't make their debut with Bayern Munich so in this match Bayern Munich mostly playing with some of their young players and reserved players but this is no excuse for Bayern Munich's failure to get the win from FC Duren because this team is from 4th division of Germany league so although Bayern Munich playing with not their full squad but i think they should be able to win easily or win with big scores

This result indeed unacceptable but some of fans is still considers Bayern Munich under Kompany still required more time to adapt and next match Bayern Munich will fight against Tottenham and if we see from the strength obviously Tottenham is much stronger than FC Duren but i expect they can gets positive results from this match however the match against FC Duren is a nightmare for Bayern Munich new player Hiroki Ito because yesterday he was got injured after playing only 21 minutes and the bad news is Hiroki Ito has been got serious injured and he have to rested at least for next 2 or 3 month

To me I'm not sure about Leverkusen next season, how they'll play but I'll tell you for sure that they are everyone's target next campaign.

Like you rightly pointed out, haven't engaged in many preseason games like their counterparts from the other European leagues. The only preseason friendly game they've played so far is the one they did play against Essen on Friday but before the next season officially kicks off, Bayer Leverkusen have already lined up three friendly games. They play against French club Lens next Saturday before they'll play against Arsenal and then round up their preseason against Spanish side Real Betis. I think playing four games as preseason games as a German Bundesliga club isn't a bad idea considering the fact that the league is less  demanding than other European leagues that consists of 20 clubs

To me I feel these guys need to play less with what they have done but that doesn't mean they should forget what's ahead because when you think of what they (Bayer Leverkusen) did last season you'll be so happy to even say they don't need to play any friendly, just go and rest but in football you need to always be at your best and if you look closely you noticed that Bayern Munich are trying to get back that trophy next season. Not playing much games doesn't show that they (Leverkusen) won't do well, to me this friendly games is just to bring out those young ones, for them to showcase what they have to offer should incase they are given the opportunity to join the senior team and nothing more so I think the Leverkusen side should continue with the lite friendly game. And going against Arsenal is a game I believe they're going to try not to lose while Arsenal on the other hand have been brilliant in the friendly games they have played and the Gunners would like to keep a good record before the start of next season.

There's no doubt that Leverkusen performed well last season. After a long time, the Bayern Munich team lost their dominance in the Bundesliga. However, I don't think Leverkusen will dominate the Bundesliga this season as they played well last season. Serie A side Napoli were champions in the 22-23 season, but performed very poorly in the 23-24 season. So I would say Xabi Alonso has to be very careful this season.

Bayer Leverkusen can't be that bad next season but I believe they can never be seen as the Bayer Leverkusen of 3-4 seasons back, what I mean is that they are one of the big boys in the German league and their games will attract attention more because of how they carry the game and how they performed by dominating one of the strongest of all time Bayern Munich.
Imagine Alonso repeating the same thing by making it difficult for Bayern Munich, I think that would be the end because it only shows that Munich have lost that strength of getting back that glory and Leverkusen is a worthy champions but I can't say it will because even Dortmund are also getting ready to over shine Bayern Munich and the current Champions Bayer Leverkusen.
In Serie A I think is something that always happens when a team win the title they become useless the next season with a very poor performance and you'd be tempted to ask if this was the team that won the league or is there something wrong somewhere? I think is only when Juventus was in their prime that they won their league title severally without doing bad the next season but for Bundesliga I think it will be a different show, Bayer Leverkusen can still retain the title, even if they don't I believe they won't play very bad like Napoli did in the Serie A.

Bayern Munich didn't play well at all in this match because in terms of strength they were superior but they conceded early. A draw was the closing result in this match and if I pay attention, Bayern Munich were not serious in this match because not many main players played in this match. You are right, of course Vincent Kompany must be able to revise to improve young players so that they are able to show the best quality so they can join the first team.

Dortmund also lost in a friendly, so the friendly match is not important for the final result but is a match that is an opportunity for coaches to look for talented young players. Dortmund and Bayern Munich, these two teams must be able to improve their strength as best as possible for this season because if they fail to do so, Leverkusen will become champions again this season.

Honestly I expected Bayern to put up another land slide victory even if I know FC Duren is much better if compared to the other team Bayern played against earlier. They will be glad it's pre season games, so kompany will get a better insight from here on what to do and where to best make adjustments so as to fit in the kind of results he's aiming at. It's even a perfect scenario he got a draw immediately after a win so he se quickly how it can look like and what are the things he needs to quickly address as the season is few weeks ahead.

Pre-season or friendly matches are an opportunity to see the quality of the players before joining official competitions and usually the coach will try to give opportunities to young players. The goal is to get the level of weaknesses that can be improved and find young talents to be included in the main squad. With the presence of pre-season or friendly matches, the coach can test several strategies so that he can decide to use them. Pre-season matches are considered important as an evaluation step and the coach has a view regarding the position that must be maximized and evaluated.

Leverkusen will face a much more interesting match because facing Arsenal will provide a real picture of the strength of Xabi Alonso's team next season. Likewise with Arsenal where Areta can make team adjustments before facing the official competition.

Coaches experiment more when their teams play in pre-season or friendly matches, young players get more playing opportunities so that coaches can assess their abilities. Coaches also often tinker with formations while the match is still in progress, the aim being to test the players' abilities when placed in different positions. The result of the match is not the main goal of the coach when his team plays in pre-season matches, he prefers to review the depth of his squad and also find new talents from young players.

Facing Arsenal is a challenge in itself for Leverkusen, but the coach will still not take this match seriously. The line up will still be dominated by young players and supplemented by several senior players, the coach does not want to take risks in friendly matches, maintaining the fitness of the players is much more important than forcing them to play, if an injury occurs it will be very detrimental to the club.

Leverkusen is currently retaining almost all of their players from last season, so it is not difficult for Alonso to be able to maintain his team  performance next season, Currently all European teams are busy with pre-season matches to see how the strength and fitness of the players are ahead of the official matches being played later, even though we can say that Leverkusen can still maintain the majority of their old squad, but it seems like Alonso is still trying to continue experimenting in order to further strengthen his squad to face the Bundesliga and Champions League next season.

The match against Arsenal will be an interesting match, even though it is only a friendly match, but still both teams will field their best squad in that match, becuase I think facing a team of equal strength in a friendly match will be an opportunity to test the mentality and also the readiness of the main squad ahead the league starts for both teams later.

We haven't seen much of the Leverkusen side in the club friendly games and we already know all they did last season and is like they're resting to prepare for the upcoming season which we know is not going to be an easy one this time around. With Xabi Alonso still with the team who he led to a wonderful finish last season, can we still expect same result or should I say something much bigger and better than last season knowing quite well that Bayern Munich are not backing down with the new manager Kompany, can Alonso's men defend their title and make life unbearable for the other Bundesliga teams ones again? To me I'm not sure about Leverkusen next season, how they'll play but I'll tell you for sure that they are everyone's target next campaign.

At present the matches that different teams are playing these matches are only friendly matches so the teams are not giving much importance to this match but when the season starts but the main competition will be seen with each team. Leverkusen may not perform as well as last season in the friendly matches, but they will surely perform well when the main season starts. It will be very difficult for Leverkusen to do well this season as their biggest obstacle this season will be Bayern Munich. Bayan Munich did not plan against Leverkusen in the last season, but in the next season they will plan hard against Leverkusen, in that case, Bayan Munich may not want to lose points in any match. Leverkusen won last season so I would definitely want Bayern Munich to win next season and lose the Bundesliga title.

Lemme stop you there brother, Bayern Munich wasn't good not that they never saw the threat coming from Bayer Leverkusen, they felt relaxed like it was business as usual and when you see a team that wants to get what the other team have you'd know so Bayern Munich wasn't good enough to stop Leverkusen. And I believe Leverkusen next season, they will continue making Bayern Munich struggle to even get 3 point from them.
The friendly games isn't an event to say which team is going to be better when the main event begins, is like a trial and I don't think Bayer Leverkusen are thinking much about their friendly games but the league title they need to defend because like I said before, is not only Bayern Munich they need to worry about but Dortmund need to be included to their worries and is going to be a tough season, can't wait.
