Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Farma]

Unlike what was reported some time ago where Xavi Simons would join Bayern Munich or even return to PSG again but now it is all clear where he will stay in Leipzig on loan for one more season. It seems that Xavi Simons still feels comfortable in Leipzig and he has not encountered any obstacles with his current club since last season and is determined to continue to give his best.

I think this decision is quite right considering that even if he goes to Bayern Munich he may not necessarily be the main choice considering that Vincent Kompany is quite sorted for player matters and indeed from the start this was only the desire of the club management who were interested in bringing him in. Even if he returns to PSG he may not find challenges like in Leipzig so if he returns it will only waste the potential that he has built.

If Kompany had considered him to fit into his plans, I believe they would have made arrangements for him to be back but since he's got no place just yet, it would be needless trying to get him on the team, rather it will be even better he stays back there on loan where he's getting more potential development on the future advancement of his career, he's been of help to Leipzig since his arrival even if they are yet to get a trophy just yet but they have gotten some good achievements in the time he's been with them.

Yes Ximon will be loaned back to Leipzig, but if you look back that the opportunity to be in Munich is very right there will be good competition to get into the first team and of course development for him, especially Muellert who wants to retire of course he can open up opportunities there with his playing minutes, especially Kompany is also very interested in the player of course the hope for him to be a starter is there, but it's too late Xavi will be back on loan at Leipzig although I hope he will choose another big club because PSG don't respect him.

Of course for him in Leipzig he will get playing minutes but there is no club that is a title contender, and I see Xavi as a good player he has talent if he chooses the best team of course he will be more respected because he has good skills and can score goals, I think Munich is an option in the future of course he will be a good replacement for Muelert later.

As usual, Kompany will get praise when Bayern Munich wins and will get criticism when they lose, it has become a tradition in football. It is difficult to find a concrete reason why Bayern Munich management is so brave to appoint Kompany as Thomas Tuchel replacement, what is clear is that they do not want to get rejection from the targeted manager again. For Kompany, becoming Bayern Munich manager is a leap in his career, and he must understand very well what is at stake. His job will never be easy because he has to conquer the Bundesliga and the Champions League, that is the target set by management every season. If Kompany is able to record good results at the start of the season, then the journey ahead will be easier. I think Kompany will prioritise the Bundesliga trophy in his first season, and that looks more realistic to achieve.

I think it's not just Vincent Kompany who feels that way, all coaches will be praised and criticized according to the results achieved by their club, it's not easy for Vincent Kompany to accept Bayern Munich's offer, he will also be seen as an ordinary coach compared to previous Bayern Munich coaches who have great experience but if he is able to prove his greatness in the first season he might be appreciated by the club and also the fans and slowly he will be liked by the fans.

Yes, I think the Champions League target is too heavy for the coach because he has to be able to beat Real Madrid and also Manchester City who are strong candidates for the Champions League, winning the Bundesliga title is enough for the coach rather than forcing himself to win both.

Criticism and praise is a normal thing for a football coach to get, in fact, when a team experiences defeat or decline, the coach will be the target of this criticis although in fact the players also have a share in the team decline, whereas if the team wins then 99% of the praise credit will go to the players and the coach will only get the rest, recruiting Kompany as a coach is one of the big gambles that Munich is taking at the moment because Kompany is not an experienced coach, but Kompany who has a lot of experience playing under great coaches certainly won't we can also underestimate at this time, the burden borne by the kompany is very heavy and whatever results Munich gets next season will determine his career in football in future, Kompany failed to bring Burnley to stay in the EPL last season because they did not have a qualified squad, when Munich It is filled with many star players, but Kompany failed to get one of the trophies between the Bundesliga and Champions League next seasons,
of course Kompany will get fired from munchen and he no longer get the trust of other teams to coach the clubs in  future.

[Fuso.hp]

It seems that Bayern Munich did not make a mistake in choosing Kompany as their coach because it could also be a turning point for Bayern Munich in dominating the Bundesliga next season, because last season they were left behind because of a stronger rival. And if Kompany succeeds in bringing Bayern Munich to be champions next season, I think there will be many people who want to praise him like what happened to Xabi Alonso last season. Because Kompany has a difficult task at Bayern Munich even though the Bayern Munich players are very good players and also have enough experience.

We’re yet to see the impressive good work of Vincent Kompany in Bayern Munich. He needs time to lay things down and go completely for the big games. He has priorities to meet up and expectations from the team’s supporters are extremely high, either ways he has to keep the club in good looking shape. Bayern Munich will cope with the new pattern from Vincent Kompany and the players will swiftly fit in and some will not, probably take time.

A new manager has taken charge of a big team so he needs some time to implement his strategy well though the season has not started yet and when the main phase matches start we will know what strategy he has adopted for the team and how well his strategy is working. When a new manager takes charge of Bayern Munich, everyone questions his ability to run the club and it is natural to do so because the current manager's ability to run the club is not much better than the one that Bayern Munich let go.

If the manager that Bayan Munich handed over the responsibility of their club can do something good for the club then the fans will certainly appreciate their decision but if the team under the current manager is doing worse then the fans will question the professionalism of the management.

That's why pre-season tour matches must be maximized well, especially for a new coach like Kompany because he must find an effective strategy to bring the team to victory. Indeed, quite a lot of people will be waiting for Kompany performance with Bayern munich because last season Die Roten's performance in the Bundesliga was so bad because they closed the season in 3rd place.

But in the match against tottenham where Kompany managed to lead bayern to win the match with a final score of 2-1. I also think that a coach must be able to show a positive pace in the first few matches of the season because that will increase the confidence of the players or the coach.

Dortmund will never be able to remain silent in the transfer market, where they always cash in on their mainstay players, in fact this has become their tradition. In every season, Dortmund always succeeds in turning other players into star players, so in this case they have managed to balance quite well. But what Dortmund management is doing is certainly not a good thing for fans because fans always fail to see Dortmund become champions.

Dortmund's habits like that will be difficult to change because their philosophy is to get more money by selling players who are already good after being in the Dortmund team itself. And it is true that a team like that will always find it difficult to become champions because they always let go of what they should maintain in order to increase their own strength. Although at other times Dortmund is always able to produce ordinary players into great players who will be glanced at by more big teams every season.

It's business, and I think what is commendable about Dortmund's management is that they are always able to maintain the stability of the team even though they always sell their mainstay players, I don't think many can do something like that. And I also don't have high expectations for the Dortmund team, I think they will remain the same as in previous seasons, they will build a makeshift team just to be able to enter the top 4 and get a ticket to the Champion League.

Dortmund have always made money from their talented young players, but if they continue like this they will struggle to win trophies. Almost every season Dortmund always sells young players with high talent, then they look for other cheaper young players to fill the empty positions. It is no wonder why Bayern Munich has always dominated the Bundesliga, because one of its toughest competitors always loses quality players every season.

Dortmund habits were also once practiced by Arsenal, but now Arsenal has started to change its strategy, they have started to bring in quality players to win trophies. Dortmund are still able to compete in the top four even though many of their talented players have been sold, but they will have difficulty winning trophies because their level is still below Bayern Munich or Leverkusen who have just won the Bundesliga for the first time in their history.

I just saw that Simpson decided to stay in Leipzig, of course it's his decision, but I think he should take a risk and continue his career in Bayern. I don't think he would have problems getting a place in the team, Kompany would hardly keep such a player on the bench, but sometimes a player gets too used to his team and doesn't want to change anything. On the other hand, Bayern have enough players to feel good without Simpson, this happens in the transfer market, it's very difficult to get all the players you would like to have in the team...

But what Dortmund management is doing is certainly not a good thing for fans because fans always fail to see Dortmund become champions.

Regarding Maximilian Beier, of course the progress of his transfer to Dortmund is almost complete, where Dortmund will complete all the requirements next week. So Beier is certain to be a replacement for Nicklas Fulkrug who left in this transfer window.

Dortmund's management will never learn from their mistakes, they always sell out key players who will help them win championships. Every team sells players to make a profit, but not as much as Dortmund does every season. Dortmund's aim was never to win a trophy, they were always focused on making a profit. They sold Haaland to Manchester City in the last two seasons, when he became the Premier League's top scorer and won the Champions League on his debut. Last season, Bellingham was sold to Real Madrid, and he won the Champions League on his debut. If Dortmund had a striker like Haaland in the last Champions League final, I believe he was going to score with the chance they wasted in the first half.

However, Maximilian Beier scored 16 goals in 33 appearances for his present club last season, while Füllkrug scored 12 goals in 31 games for Dortmund. After Füllkrug, Beisier will be the best choice. If Dortmund completes the deal, they will be able to compete in the league next season, as they have also signed Guirassy from Stuttgart.

Maintain their stability within a good range is something others need to learn from Dortmund, even after sales of key players, they still finish decently and not lag behind the way other team do when they have key players sold of, indeed the management of Dortmund has got the business IQ and understands it too well that they know how well to place their team and always getting that which they want both with finance, team depth and trophies. Last season they appear they were really aiming at trophies so they had most of their players kept to achieve that but somehow it didn't work as planned.

[pusaka]

I think you are right Kompany will get a lot of attention as Bayern Munich new manager. He will be praised when they win and criticized when they lose as we are looking this situation already. It is surprising that team chose him to replace Thomas Tuchel maybe because they did not want to be rejected by other top managers. This is big step up for Kompany and he knows there is a lot expected of him. He has tough job as he is supposed to win two big competitions. If he does well at start it will make things easier. I think Kompany will focus on winning Bundesliga first which is a more realistic goal, and then try to achieve more.

The coach will get two things, the first is praise and the second is criticism. The coach must be able to realize this that before they sign a contract with a team they must realize that they are also risking themselves. I would even say that when playing well the coach must still be criticized to make them more motivated. Bayern Munich I think did not have many choices after getting rejections from several coaches. Finally they appointed Vincent Kompany as their coach in the hope that Vincent Kompany could bring them to a better game. This is also a risk they took and I would not be surprised if Kompany looks like a failure they will immediately look for a new coach.

Borussia Dortmund is a team that can maintain its consistency well even though they sell many of their valuable players. However, it is very unfortunate if they are only able to maintain their good performance but cannot get an achievement. Apart from business and also being able to appear consistently after selling many valuable players, they also need an achievement to present to their supporters, that's all that is lacking from Borussia Dortmund. I am sure they can achieve all of that as long as they can be serious about getting it, because what I see now is that they seem indifferent to it. I hope they can be more serious in the coming seasons.

There is nothing wrong with your statement but maybe you don't realize that Borussia Dortmund is a business club this means they will prefer profit over anything else, if they have a chance to win a title or trophy it's just a bonus. You can watch Borussia Dortmund in recent years if they have a talented player and there is a team interested then they will let him go no matter how it affects their performance because they can look for new talent from all over yeah that's how Borussia Dortmund works.

There is nothing wrong with what Borussia Dortmund is doing because basically they want to make a profit for the club, well other clubs are also pursuing the same thing, just in different ways. In conclusion, don't expect too much from Dortmund don't think that they are aiming for the title because it is a bonus for them, at least this is what we have seen in the last few years.

West Ham United have made an offer of 25 million Euro with bonuses to Borussia Dortmund for Niclas Füllkrug. Dortmund were expecting at least 30 million Euro. Füllkrug scored 15 goals and provided 10 assists in 43 appearances for Dortmund last season. I don't know why Dortmund are so comfortable letting him go, although he is getting a bit older and 25 million Euro might be a good offer. If Dortmund sells Füllkrug, they will replace him with Maximilian Beier. Hoffenheim's young talent has a long way to go. It may seem like a gamble for Dortmund to replace a veteran with a youngster, but we all know Dortmund's track record of letting youngsters shine. I think it will be a good transfer move.

IMO, it is a very good offer. West Ham wants to spend 25 million Euros, it is above the market value of Niclas Füllkrug (15 million Euros). I don't understand why Dortmund doesn't easily accept it? As far as I know, Dortmund bought him only with 17 million Euros. Basically, Dortmund already get enough profits if they accept 25 million Euros from West Ham. Moreover, Niclas Füllkrug is already 31 years old, Dortmund is better to focus on younger striker. Dortmund still has 3 striker even if they sell Niclas Füllkrug. There are Serhou Guirassy (28), Sébastien Haller (30), and Youssoufa Moukoko (19). I think Serhou Guirassy should be the main striker, his stats is much better than Niclas Füllkrug. So, it is actually the right way to sell Niclas Füllkrug to West Ham.

By the way, I just checked the latest news related to Niclas Füllkrug. He will undergo medical test in West Ham today, West Ham and Dortmund already got an agreement about the price (transfer fees). Not sure how much West Ham will pay to Dortmund, there is a media stated it is 27 million Euros but other reported 25 million Euros.

https://greenstreethammers.com/posts/3-reasons-why-west-ham-signed-niclas-fullkrug-as-new-centre-forward-01j4cc3qpbsj

I actually think that 25 Million is simply not enough for a player like him. I thought that they were going to offer 30 million as well. The thing is, if he was not in such good form, I would have said 25 million is good enough and they should accept. But he has performed really well. And for a player who is 31 years old and performing like that, the offer should have been bigger. I mean this is the time when a player like him goes for more than 50/60,000,000 easily. I don’t think they should accept this offer. I think they should wait and they will actually get a better offer than this.

Dortmund always look for young players and makes them turn into great players. So that’s why a lot of players are so much interested in going to Dortmund. But we also know that Dortmund cannot be the final & long-term destination of a player.

It's a bit strange to say that it's a philosophy, but in reality they are like that. A philosophy should have a good impact on them, but this is the opposite. Maybe in terms of profit they get it, but in terms of achievement it's empty. I always emphasize the same thing, namely Borussia Dortmund must be able to change their habits, because they will never be able to achieve if they continue like this. Even though if you look at a potential they really have it. Borussia Dortmund is one of the best teams in developing young players, many young players are born from them. Their talent scouts are very smart in finding players who will be very valuable. But unfortunately they only use it for profit, they don't want to use it to make them achieve more. Their failure in the Champions League last season I hope it will be a whip for them to be able to change their old habits.

Dortmund looks confident to win this match although Villarreal also has a chance to draw the preseason match. Dortmund several times in preseason matches may only get one win and although Villarreal has a chance to draw but Dortmund seems more agile.

There is a comfortable betting option on BTTS but unfortunately the odds are too small around @1.4. Or choosing the over 2.75 option with odds @1.51 is a good choice.

[rendravolt]

However, this is very unreasonable, especially with the 3-0 defeat to Wolves, which certainly hit Leipzig quite hard. Although Leipzig did not use the full main squad and played more of their second-string players, this defeat was still too much and I am not sure if this will make them experience a decline in performance in the next match.

Of course, the pre-season match is a proving ground for several teams to be ready to welcome the new season and here Leipzig seems not serious at all. But the score should have been cut and they did not have to lose badly against a weak team from the English league. Even though Leipzig was certainly very favored, it seems that only disappointment remains from all this. Lucky for anyone who did not bet on this match because they would definitely lose money if they bet on Leipzig's victory.

Haha we have no consideration to predict this match and generally both teams don't care about the final result so there is no reason to favor any of them except on the betting options you mentioned both teams to score is an interesting bet even though the odds are low but it is not bad for making money with low risk. I just checked the match history of both teams in preseason and yeah totally unpredictable and nothing impressive, I also think a draw is possible.

I also noticed that Dortmund's defense was very weak they have conceded more goals in the last 2 games, I know maybe it's part of an experiment but I think it will have an impact on today match so it's best to avoid betting on Moneyline, BTTS and over goals seem reasonable.

Dortmund, sure, they are excellent in terms of profit generation and talent output. Realistically, though, that revolving door of theirs is It is destroying their prospects to be a real powerhouse. You aim to take home the major titles? You have to assemble a team instead of a business plan. Looking at Arsenal, they solved it. They doubled down, invested, and today they are a legitimate threat instead of selling off their stars. Frankfurt? They are caught in the past. Leverkusen excelled in the Bundesliga since they did it right. They laid a strong basis, held their core together, and profited. Get woke, Dortmund. This is about winning championships, not about turning around a fast profit. You will be seeing Bayern Munich hoist medals from the sidelines for years to come; you keep giving short-term benefits top priority above long-term success

After releasing Jude Bellingham, it can be said that last season Dortmund did not have many players with high value for them to release. That's why not many Dortmund players attracted much attention, although some names like Moukoko were of interest to Premier League clubs. IMO, I don't see Dortmund focusing on competing with Bayern Munich last season. I mean, after they almost broke Bayern's dominance, they failed. Dortmund didn't make many changes after that, but in this transfer window there is something different about this BVB squad. Although if we try to compare, Bayern Munich is much stronger based on team depth. What's unique about Dortmund, even though they released their star players, they were still able to consistently stay in the top four of the Bundesliga. Only last season, Dortmund struggled to finish in the top four. But amazingly, they entered the Champions League final even though they lost to El Real. The 2024/25 Bundesliga season is coming soon, we will see Nuri Sahin's performance with Borussia Dortmund. Can he, it's interesting for us to follow every development. Moreover, several other teams also seem to be providing tough competition in the fight for the trophy. My guess for now, Bundesliga is quite interesting with some changes that have occurred. which means, it is possible that the competition will not only occur between two teams. I mean, whether it is Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, they will overtake each other after the new competition starts.

After signing Serhou Guirassy, they needed to sell a CF as the number of forwards was like 4. They chose to sell Füllkrug after getting a good offer for him. Otherwise maybe Haller might be the one leaving. Because Füllkrug had a really great season so he would still be very useful as a backup striker. Anyways, in the end they are always ready to fill someone's space quickly.

This is why it isn't much possible to see them silent in a transfer window.    This is their main job though, making big profits in player deals. This is like their main source of income while not being able to win a Bundesliga title.
