Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Roseline492]

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.

Yeah if there is any coach that would value the pre season matches of course Kompany will be one of them because that's the only opportunity he has in regards to building the club the way it will be more suitable for him and also develop a strategic patterns that would make them to be ahead other teams, though already we can see that he has already started doing that because Bayern Munich seems to be on fire on this club friendly matches they are playing, however the good thing I like about there current performance on this club friendly is that Kompany has shown everyone that he has the experience to lead Bayern Munich team to any level because we can see how there performance has been especially on there match between FC Rottach they won 14:1.

[Palakka]

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.

It really looks ridiculous when Wolves was able to destroy Leipzig with a very landslide score, especially previously Leipzig was actually able to win over another English team which was better than Wolves in a friendly match, Leipzig was able to beat Aston Villa with a score 2-0, but who knows what happened when Leipzig must closed their pre-season journey with a crushing defeat against one of the weakest teams in the Premier League,  Previously I saw that in the match against Aston Villa, Leipzig played very well and relied on fast play from both wings, but in the match against Wolves I didn't see that, but even so, this defeat should be a matter of Marco Rose full attention to immediately evaluate his team before the Bundesliga match begins.

The pre-season match should be an opportunity for every coach to evaluate every weakness of their team so that it will make it easier for the coach to form a suitable and solid for team framework next season, next season Leipzig will face a very busy schedule considering that they will play the domestic league and champions league next season, so Rose must be able to optimize Leipzig game and performance well at this time.

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.

Dortmund, constantly turning players for a fast profit, right? Smart corporate strategy; nevertheless, in terms of championship winning, it is a loser's game. You really establish a winning squad by looking at Leverkusen, clinging to their key players. Everyone knows that Dortmund's young academy is now first-rate. Use it, then assemble a team that endures. Give up following transient gains and begin to create a legacy.  Suppose they had kept a person like Haaland for a few more seasons? Thats the way you win big, folks.

[hahay]

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.

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.

Actually, Dortmund is a great team but indeed, Dortmund always fails to win trophies even though they always have the chance. After all, last season Dortmund also played in the Champions League final, while in reality Dortmund experienced difficult competition last season in the Bundesliga standings. Also, even though Dortmund always gets good profits because it always manages to produce great players, but Dortmund also doesn't become bad even though it has sold great players in its squad.

With results like that, at least so far the team still looks fine and perhaps fans will still provide great support for Dortmund even though they didn't get a trophy. Well, I think a team like Dortmund is very rare because if another team sells its key players then the team's performance will decline and get worse, but Dortmund not experienced that, which means that Dortmund is a great team.

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.

Utilizing the opportunity to gain sympathy and confidence is of course very good but it should also not be used as a reference and rule out some players who should be given playing time especially for them young players.
So that there is a balance where when he takes the confidence of the fans to see him as a worthy coach, this is also intended so that he can make young players comfortable because they get flying hours in a club because they are given the opportunity.

With the few games Kompany has played in the pre-season he's done that and that's a very good thing I think. There are some players who are given trust and get a good potential in the squad when the friendly matches can build their mentality to be even better so that pre-season although in terms of results we cannot expect much but it was quite successfully done by Kompany.

[tygeade]

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...

Simmons definitely will go to a better team eventually, we are seeing him improve a lot over the years, he was considered a very good young talent for a good time, and he is showing his improved version now as well. He played a very good period with Netherlands as well during the euro 2024 and I am guessing that he will keep on playing very well this season too. After this season ends, he needs to sit down and think about what's next for him, because he is getting good enough to be at a huge club, Bayern is one, I am not going to say City or Madrid because they have good midfields, but he is almost that level too.

Pep may want to take a chance with him too, because he has a lot of old midfielders, so getting Simmons could help, but not an easy choice. All in all Bayern seems to be the best case scenario for him, he could go there and play there for a long time, and we know how Bayern ended up getting a lot better players in the latest years as well.

[Smack That Ace]

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.

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.

Yes, it is very much possible that the competition is not going to happen between the two teams. And I hope that the competition does not happen only between two teams. I hope that the other teams will also be able to show good performance as well. But if we talk about which teams will be able to compete for the Bundesliga title, I think at the end of the day we have to say that only two teams might be able to do that and those are Bayern Munich and Leverkusen.

Of course, I want that to change. But will it change? I personally don’t think so. I always want to see a team compete for that title very closely is Dortmund. But that also generally does not happen. Leipzig has been showing good signs. I hope there is going to be a good competition between at least four teams for the title.

The score of the Rottach match is not important because they had won more goals against them in previous years. Rottach is a very weak team and for Bayern it does not matter how many goals they score against them. Big matches can be considered a measure for Bayern. That is why we can say that Kompany did not play a serious match. His main squad in official matches will give us a better image.

I think Dortmund is making a mistake by letting go of young players. Jude Bellingham and Haaland are the two most obvious examples of this. If these two players had stayed this year, Borussia Dortmund would probably be one of the strongest candidates for the title. However, since they run the team like a company, I think the title is something the management does not care about. It seems like the Borussia Dortmund management is trying to buy players and sell them for more money.

Borrusia Dortmund have messed up big time and they've literally settled for lesser outcomes when it involves major tournaments. Die Schwarzgelben have this special thing called luck when if comes to developing young players. They've incredible players at their ends and making huge profits from these players without hindrance. But they've failed in the actual picture to make these players become top professional and rendering their service and efforts for the club. Instead the are sold to other prominent elite club and becomes huge challenges for Borrusia Dortmund when they meet.

[baeva]

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.

I honestly don't understand how they paid attention to him and at what point they wanted to hire him as a coach. Considering that the team under him didn't just play horribly, they were out of the league altogether. I hope he's ready for a serious team like Bayern, because seeing them not in the top 3 in the table will be very unusual

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.

Yeah, I agree. With a team like Bayern it's quite realistic to win within his league, but he'll still have to try, as having a team like that alone doesn't really do anything, so the only hope really is that Kompany realises what kind of team he's come to. After serving in this position successfully for a few years he will be able to manage teams as good as this one.

[Jegileman]

Yeah if there is any coach that would value the pre season matches of course Kompany will be one of them because that's the only opportunity he has in regards to building the club the way it will be more suitable for him and also develop a strategic patterns that would make them to be ahead other teams, though already we can see that he has already started doing that because Bayern Munich seems to be on fire on this club friendly matches they are playing, however the good thing I like about there current performance on this club friendly is that Kompany has shown everyone that he has the experience to lead Bayern Munich team to any level because we can see how there performance has been especially on there match between FC Rottach they won 14:1.

On this particular friendliest, I won’t rate it to be one we can agree on or bring something good out of it of. Bayern Munich okay with them every preseason games and always win them with large number of goals and this time around is also not an exception. Kompany will lead Bayern Munich to the big game victory next season, he should utilize all the time he has now to make the best out of the club. By doing so, he can now tell who his first eleven to use for the next season are.

Although it doesn’t matter the club to test the strength of the team with, it just have to be tested in any manner to know. Friendlies are not a way to test the strength of a club or the weakness of it. The mentality in preseason is such that the players don’t want to put all their efforts into the match and be trying to avoid injury against the next season, so that the coach can start with them more often.

[Mr.right85]

A team like Bayern Munich can play well even if they are not accompanied by their main coach. They have many quality players ready to compete with anyone, but a coach with good technical ability can push for more options when the team needs a solution. Vincent Kompany is certainly not a great coach, but he has something that can make Bayern Munich strong next season.

I also want to see what solutions Vincent Kompany can provide to Bayern Munich next season because some of Bayern Munich's rivals in the Bundesliga will still look quite strong next season so it will be very interesting if Vincent Kompany has something that can be used by Bayern Munich to dominate the Bundesliga next season. In addition, I also want to see how Munich can win again when facing Leverkusen who last season the team never lost in the Bundesliga including when facing a team as big as Munich.

I don't see Bayern muchen winning the league title this season under Kompany. I will still give it to Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen clearly have the more balanced team of those 3. (Bayern Munich, B.Dortmund, B. Leverkusen).
Bayern Munich have best individuals and superstars but not necessarily a balanced team. B. Dortmund are not even close to Leverkusen in terms of squad balance and depth.

Leverkusen won the most games from the bench last season. As it stands Leverkusen also have the best manager of the 3.

I don't think so. I still consider Bayern Munich as the favorite for the Bundesliga title. I know Vincent Kompany is not an experienced coach. But he is talented. Bayern Munich management is not stupid. Despite Vincent Kompany's lack of experience, Bayern Munich have given him the reins of the team. Munich, of course, has other plans.

Bayern Munich still has the strongest squad in the Bundesliga. And if the company can improve the understanding between the players, then Bayern Munich has a better chance of dominating the Bundesliga. Leverkusen, on the other hand, performed very well last season, no doubt with the help of Xabi Alonso. But Xabi should have taken the necessary measures to strengthen the team this season. Garcia and Terrier have been added to the squad by Xabi. However, this team is far behind Bayern Munich. I think Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga next season even if they don't do well in the Champions League.

No doubt with Bayern Munich have many top qualities players but lack experienced of their manager Vincent Kompany could be big problem later how to make his team has the winning mentality exactly on crucial matches.
Actually Bayern Leverkusen as the defend winner have top qualities player too after defending all their key players and sign some top qualities players not big difference for both teams squad between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

In my opinion, Bayern Leverkusen still the most favorite team for winning Bundesliga trophy after success defending their important players last season and signing any top qualities players to make balance with team composition between regular and not regular players. Currently Bayern Munich performance not get consistent yet on several pre season matches, they have few weeks left before first match on DFB Pokal first round and facing Wolfsburg on the first Bundesliga match on August 25.

[Hirose UK]

Today Dortmund will return to the pre-season match and will face one of team from La Liga, it is clear that Dortmund is still the favorite in this match.
Villarreal last season experienced significant decline in performance and failed to get single ticket for other European competitions, in the previous season they were still able to get Europa League ticket but they had to fast for other European competitions next season.
Nuri Sahin as Dortmund new coach hopes to still be able to see his players play well and really take advantage of every pre-season match with different game tactics adaptations from before and be able to play well in the Bundesliga next season.
I still hope they can play according to expectations and can really prove that they are still worthy as team that is favored.

Xavi Simons re-joins RB Leipzig on season-long loan:

Xavi Simons has officially re-joined RB Leipzig for the 2024-25 season, signing a new season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday.

The player completed his medical and trained alone on Monday, but will train with his teammates on Tuesday, when the squad convenes after completing their first-ever preseason tour of the U.S. last week. It was at the start of that tour when head coach Marco Rose said that Simons decided to return to the German club for another season, though he recognized at the time that the deal had yet to be formalized.

Simons, a promising midfielder who many hope will become a fixture at PSG sooner rather than later, initially joined Leipzig ahead of the 2023-24 season on a loan deal and impressed during his first spell at the club. He scored 10 goals and notched 13 assists in 43 games, playing a crucial role on a team that finished fourth in the Bundesliga and made it to the round of 16 in last season's UEFA Champions League, being eliminated by eventual winners Real Madrid. Simons' performances were strong enough for him to earn a spot on the Netherlands' roster for the Euros, scoring once and registering three assists in six starts for the semifinalists.

The 21-year-old is set to be welcomed back with open arms in Leipzig after carving out a big role for himself last season.

I think Bayern Munich will dominate the Bundesliga next season even if they don't do well in the Champions League.

I know the Bundesliga tittle race will not be easy this season. But there’s no current proof that Bayern Munich is stronger than Bayer Leverkusen that they beat last season. No, Bayern Munich aren’t playing like they used to. Bayer Leverkusen is the face of Bundesliga.

Remember what everyone said that,  Arsenal’s first title race in the EPL was a fluke and that they won’t finish higher than 4th or even out of the top 4 last season.

The disrespect towards a team that won the league unbeaten is what I won’t have.

"It won’t be easy" is a conversation that makes sense because it makes sense. They are weaker than Bayern Munich because they are far behind Bayern Munich is not a tenable conversation for me.

[Farma]

With a team like Bayern it's quite realistic to win within his league, but he'll still have to try, as having a team like that alone doesn't really do anything, so the only hope really is that Kompany realises what kind of team he's come to. After serving in this position successfully for a few years he will be able to manage teams as good as this one.

Seeing their match a few days ago Kompany has a good goal with Munich in terms of their game they put it quite solid and of course I think Kompany will maximize the opportunity given to him by Munich management as best as possible, in terms of players they have many names so they have a full opportunity to maximize next season.

It is undeniable that if they optimize as best as possible with their talented players of course to maximize the champion next season is certainly very wide open, but it all depends on how they maximize what is already there in my opinion Kompany can bring Munich to continue to advance with what he implements I think he has talent with what he does.

[knowngunman]

If these two players had stayed this year, Borussia Dortmund would probably be one of the strongest candidates for the title. However, since they run the team like a company, I think the title is something the management does not care about. It seems like the Borussia Dortmund management is trying to buy players and sell them for more money.

What they are doing is not longer a mistake, it is a deliberate attitude and I think it's the way they plan to be carrying out their operations. Assuming it was a mistake, they would have realized the mistake after selling off a few players and see how great they become especially the goal machine Haaland. After Haaland they have built and sold players that are extremely doing well too. Assuming they are interested to build a squad ready to win trophy, they would have been convincing these players to stay with them and achieve positive results together. The fact still remains that they prefer and  Prioritize business over building the team for competition.
