Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[klidex]

To win the trophy again does not have to repeat it in the same way, Leverkusen does not have to set the standard to be undefeated throughout the season, that is too heavy for the players and for Xabi Alonso himself.

Indeed, in football, there is no perfect standard every year. Their focus is to achieve the target. And Leverkusen's target is to maintain the Bundesliga title to remain with them. Xabi's work becomes more and certainly harder this season. Because Leverksuen will also compete with top European clubs in the UCL, which is a very tight competition.

Playing in the Champions League will make Leverkusen's path to winning the Bundesliga title even more difficult because they will have to divide their focus on both equally important competitions unlike last season where they only played in the Europa League where the obstacles were not as difficult as now, but I think my prediction about Leverkusen is that they cannot go further in the Champions League I mean not to the final or semifinals because to achieve that they have to face tougher top clubs such as Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Arsenal.

Anyway, regarding Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, before the transfer window closes, it seems they have to make a decision soon regarding the player involving both teams, Jonathan Tah.

Leverkusen's center back is still adamant about moving to Bayern Munich. And de Ligt's departure makes the way smoother. But, will Leverkusen let it go?

This is quite a difficult decision for Leverkusen on the one hand they still want to keep their players from last season but on the other hand the player seems not to want to stay and this will affect his performance this season if he forces himself to still play at the club so I think it is better for Leverkusen to let him go even though it is difficult.

I totally agree with you. Leverkusen qualified for the Champions League. And if Xabi Alonso wants to dominate the Champions League and Bundesliga at the same time, it will put extra pressure on the players. Because every team that qualified for the Champions League is strong. And it is very difficult to perform well against these teams. At the same time, the chances of players getting injured will increase due to the busy schedule. As a result, it will be difficult for Leverkusen to perform well in the Bundesliga.

However, Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso is quite experienced. Last season, Alonso led Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga title. He is certainly aware of the strength of his squad. But I think Xabi's main target will be to dominate the Bundesliga. Because Xabi Alonso knows very well that he does not have a squad strong enough to win the Champions League title.

I think only Marco Reus and no one else will reject the offer from Bayern Munich and continue to play in another team in the Bundesliga, especially German players who play in the Bundesliga as if they think the peak of their career is playing in Bayern Munich, that's because Bayern Munich is the most shining team in the Bundesliga.

And now everything is different, Bayern Munich can no longer be easy in the Bundesliga, the proof is last season they failed to defend the Bundesliga title because several other teams have developed and that is also possible to continue to happen next season and I think it's better for the Bundesliga to be more competitive.

Bayern Munich status is exactly the same as PSG in Ligue 1, players are racing to move there for one reason, they are easier to win trophies than the clubs they have played for before. The end of Bayern Munich dominance last season gave a glimmer of hope to other clubs, they can bring in quality players from other leagues to improve their quality to win the Bundesliga trophy. Leverkusen's success last season indicates that it is not always possible for Bayern Munich to win trophies, as long as there is competitive competition and the team is able to maintain its best performance, the possibility of winning trophies is very large.

Bayern Munich always poach top players from other clubs to weaken the competition, they can easily win trophies if the strength of their rivals is successfully weakened. Bayern Munich always uses a similar strategy when there is another team that is considered their toughest rival, they also made an offer for Xabi Alonso to replace Tuchel, but they failed to poach Alonso from Leverkusen. The chances of Bayern Munich winning back the Bundesliga trophy are very slim as Leverkusen is still their toughest rival.

[rendravolt]

The Bundesliga may be the only top European league that will start its season late, but most of the German teams are playing in a different competition, the DFB Pokal. Last night, Vincent Kompany's squad won a landslide victory against SSV Ulm with a score of 0-4 without reply.

In this match, Bayern Munich appeared so fierce where they had taken an early lead in the early minutes through two quick goals scored by Thomas Muller. His goal-scoring instinct is still quite sharp despite his increasing age and if I'm not mistaken, this will be his last season to defend Bayern Munich. In addition, Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane also scored the closing goals that made Bayern Munich secure their victory and advance to the next round. At least this is a warm-up match before they aim for the first point in the Bundesliga next week and I think Bayern Munich can be relied on quite a bit this time.

Although the situation is true, I don't believe it will have an impact when the competition is running. Bayern Munich every season is always identical with the transfer of good players at a high price. Last season H. Kane. This season who? and what we have to know, last season's experience itself justifies what I said that in the competition to win the championship trophy, what Bayern Munich management did was unsuccessful because they lost to Leverkusen. This season we also can't be sure that they will be able to win the Bundesliga trophy because the Bundesliga will only start or will only start on the 24th.

The situation in Bayern Munich team last season proved that something was lacking in the team despite the signing of Harry Kane so if they try to do a good job in the transfer market as they have always done it will help to transform the performance of the team and it will help them to move back to the top level where they will find it easy to challenge Bayer Leverkusen and reclaim the top spot from them. Yes I agree that the Bayern Munich team had an unsuccessful season last season as they failed to lift a trophy after making notable signing but they have a great team right now and a new young manager who is expected to make a different this new season so hopefully they will eventually win the domestic league and get better in 5hr other competitions with the quality they have got so far.

Anyway, regarding Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, before the transfer window closes, it seems they have to make a decision soon regarding the player involving both teams, Jonathan Tah.

Leverkusen's center back is still adamant about moving to Bayern Munich. And de Ligt's departure makes the way smoother. But, will Leverkusen let it go?

Now this is where the monopoly of Bayern Munich In the Bundesliga comes to play, although the word monopoly might be too heavy on this case but that’s how feel it’s, Jonathan Tah as been an ever present in this Bayer Leverkusen squad and with the team having a new direction now I expect people Like him to be the main men to take the club back to glory fully and also maintain that standard, He is also the vice captain behind Lukas Hiredecky. This decision somehow doesn’t surprise me because Bayern Munich is still the biggest club and it’s the dream of every player most especially Germans to actually play for them, now is even the more reason why players like Marco Reus needs to be idolized by what they did

That’s actually what the bigger teams does they use the influence of being the biggest team and since it’s every player’s dream to play for such teams it’s always easier to sign the best players from other teams just as they did with signing Lewandowski and many other players. This has been how Bayern Munich has been able to stay ahead of all other teams in the league, they win trophies both domestic and European trophies, they have more improved salary structure among other things which lure players to join them.

I think Jonathan Tah might consider joining them knowing they are the best team and with them he has more chances of winning more trophies and earning a name for himself.

Changing coaches will change everything, in a football team the most important thing is the coach's tactics and that has been done by Bayern Munich to change their team's performance next season.
And what must also be realized is that this season everything is different from what happened last season, we can see the development of other Bundesliga teams, especially Leverkusen who managed to break Bayern Munich's dominance to win the Bundesliga title, making the competition in the Bundesliga much fiercer, and not only Leverkusen but also several other teams have had quite drastic performance developments that make it not as easy as before for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title.

So for next season I think anything is possible for Bayern Munich, and what is certain is that they will not easily win the Bundesliga title and even the percentage for that is not that big.

Source: Leverkusen vs Stuttgart
Of the 5 matches between the two, Bayer Leverkusen won 2 times, and drew 3 times.

We see more goals between these teams when it is a cup game. I think this is likely to be one of those games even though it is only the beginning of the season. Over 3.5 goals and maybe even 4.5 goals are quite possible to be seen in my opinion.    Both teams are productive. Stuttgart doesn't have Guirassy anymore maybe but like I said, the new transfers for the attacking line are also very solid.

I can't wait to watch Xabi Alonso's team for another whole year.    After a dream season, everyone is probably curious what he will do next. He has increased the expectation level to top naturally.

[Adiljutt156]

Yesterday there was already the last friendly game from Dortmund against Aston Villa and they won that with 2 scored Goals.

A good result from a Pre-season match from dortmund. Though they made only two goal attempts, but it's all good. The first half from dortmund is impressing me a lot, it's because  their pressing in the first half was fun to watch. It's also very interesting to see how Bensebaini tried to prove himself in this game. Also, i was focusing on how Reyna did it well in this game, though he can be so much more than it, but it's all good for him. The result from this game makes me very optimistic for how we can play with more time under Nuri. Basically, i was only seeing many positive things from the game against Villa.

That match was planned in Signal Iduna Park and we saw good match. Borussia Dortmund team played well in this match and they were favorite for this match  when they did 2 goals in the start of match . They attacked in the start of match and they were fully prepared for this match . After that Aston Villa F.C. team played defensive and I think they should attack on Borussia Dortmund and also they should defend. But that team could not end up the match with respect and they have to face the lose.  Aston Villa F.C. team performance was very low and we didn't see current in the players of Aston Villa F.C. team and the end result of this match was 2-0.

Before I put in my bet, I want to read other people's opinions here or give me a little advice.
Actually I'm a little doubtful about Leverkusen even though Mönchengladbach is not a strong club but this club cannot be underestimated and has held a draw in several previous meetings.
On the other hand, I'm not too sure in this new season whether Xabi Alonso can still give his best for his club to maintain the consistency of the players.
I have a plan to bet on Leverkusen's victory but are there other more comfortable options?

[Promocodeudo]

I'm very concerned about Bayer Leverkusen and whether they will be able to repeat their success from last season. Bayer Leverkusen will face different challenges than they did last season because every club has gathered more players to win the league title. Bayer Leverkusen still has the same attacking players that they used last season, and Xabi Alonso only bought defenders and midfielders, not attackers. So, compared to the players Bayern Munich signed during the transfer window, do you think Bayer Leverkusen will repeat what they did last season? No need to compare it to the Champions League, the Bundesliga will be very different this season, and I'd be surprised if Xabi Alonso gets the same results as last season.

I don’t think Bayer Leverkusen will have chance to repeat such victories they had last season because Bayern Munich is now ready as they have signed new coach and some good players as well to help the team. Moreover, I can see that Leverkusen didn’t make some changes in their squad and their pattern of play has already been noticed by almost all the teams in the league which will make it difficult for them to win the League unbeaten or even win the League because they have several competitions including Champions league which is very tough and for Alonso to be their for the first time, it will be a bit hard for him because he will be facing big teams in the tournament.

The game of soccer is unpredictable and as it is, anything is possible to occur, before we say Bayern is ready we should watch them play first in the new season, we won't start now to give credence when the jungle has not mature yet, Leverkusen showed a high level of good performance last season and the can still do it again if they continue in such form.
We should know that sometimes when a manager is new in a team it takes time for the entire team to blend with his coaching pattern and this may cause lapses in the team, despite that bayern has signed a new manager and ready to bring more good players in the team, it is still possible that they may not perform well if the existing and incoming players are not managed very well.
When you say Leverkusen pattern has been notice by other teams, this might be true but a good manager can introduce new strategy and pattern since he already knows that if he continues with the former strategy he might not get it right, Leverkusen had all these competitions last season and they were successful, what makes you feel that they won't do the same now, I think the major thing I feel they need to do is to get their team together and restrategize for this coming season, for now it is too early to determines what will likely be the fate of Leverkusen in this new season because bundesliga is not much competive to me, if they are, bayern would have not been champions for very long, so i Believe that Leverkusen can still do it.

[wmaurik]

Playing in the Champions League will make Leverkusen's path to winning the Bundesliga title even more difficult because they will have to divide their focus on both equally important competitions unlike last season where they only played in the Europa League where the obstacles were not as difficult as now, but I think my prediction about Leverkusen is that they cannot go further in the Champions League I mean not to the final or semifinals because to achieve that they have to face tougher top clubs such as Man City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Arsenal.

Last season Leverkusen also put their focus on two different competitions even though Leverkusen was only able to win the Bundesliga and not the Europa League. And for this season it will actually be the same even though the competition is starting to be a little different because it is the Champions League which is very competitive for any team. But I am still quite sure that Leverkusen is able to have a better focus and can even be considered a candidate for champions this season in the Bundesliga again.

Leverkusen against Bayern Munich is goning to be defently the most insteartted ghame to wach for us. Leverkusen had an amazing performance in the last season and they got good results which made Leverkusen win the Bundesliga title while they didn't spend too much money like Bayern Munich and they didn't have superstar players.
Now Bayern Munich wants to take revenge but since they are going to have a new team, I think Leverkusen can have more chance to win this match.

I also think that Leverkusen will not have enough difficulty to face Bayern Munich with a newer team line-up because the coach of Bayern Munich himself is a new coach and Leverkusen is still handled by their old coach like last season. But apart from all that, I just want to see both teams compete more fiercely to show who is the best for this season because their match must be awaited by many people from now on. And Bayern Munich might not be able to take revenge in an easy way because Leverkusen’s strength itself is still unchanged for this season.

The Bundesliga match will be played in another week and unlike other leagues which have now started, and the match between Gladbach vs Leverkusen will be the opening match on August 24, so far the defending champions( leverkusen) have very big ambitions to be able to maintain their status as bundesliga championship and of course they will give all their abilities in the first match to win, before the first Bundesliga match starts, currently several teams are preparing their squads for the first round match of the DFB Pokal and so far Bayern Munich still performed quite well by beating ULM, which is a team in the 2nd division of the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen, who were champions last season, had to face Stuttgart, who were runners up last season in the Super Cup, so I think Leverkusen certainly hasn't thought about the match against Bayern Munich, which is still very far away. Talking about the match between Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen in the fifth week, of course it will present an exciting match, previously, perhaps we would have thought that the match between Munich and Leverkusen was just an ordinary match, but after what happened last season, now we are starting to consider the meeting of the two teams to be no different with big match.

[armanda90]

Last season Leverkusen also put their focus on two different competitions even though Leverkusen was only able to win the Bundesliga and not the Europa League. And for this season it will actually be the same even though the competition is starting to be a little different because it is the Champions League which is very competitive for any team. But I am still quite sure that Leverkusen is able to have a better focus and can even be considered a candidate for champions this season in the Bundesliga again.

Bayern Leverkusen played well last season after winning Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and reach the final stage on UEFA Europe League although have defeated from Atalanta. I think Xabi Alonso have good tactician after success winning two trophies from Bundesliga and DFB Pokal Cup and seems in this season will play well indeed participants on higher level competition at UEFA Champion League.
Bayern Leverkusen keep favorable team for winning Bundesliga trophy in this season after some top players signing and not difference drastically between main or substitutes players, its important thing exactly with Champion League adopt new format and have many matches than old format but Bayern Leverkusen squad keep balance.

Almost 100% old squad last season keep defend make Xabi Alonso easily adapting his tactician, for several news players I don't think difficult for adapting because most of them have been training more than one month and not get problem how game play from Bayern Leverkusen.

I have no doubt over Leverkusen winning of Bayern Munich on this very match day, A lot of things with the team is still very intact , and the fact that Kompany is new to the league makes it even more challenging for Bayern to defeat Leverkusen in this game, secondly Bayern Leverkusen performance today at the DFL Super Cup will further provide more information as regards to the state of their form this incoming season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Meanwhile, Leverkusen, who were champions last season, had to face Stuttgart, who were runners up last season in the Super Cup, so I think Leverkusen certainly hasn't thought about the match against Bayern Munich, which is still very far away. Talking about the match between Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen in the fifth week, of course it will present an exciting match, previously, perhaps we would have thought that the match between Munich and Leverkusen was just an ordinary match, but after what happened last season, now we are starting to consider the meeting of the two teams to be no different with big match.

At least we must first see their performance in the first 4 matches in the Bundesliga before they actually meet in the 5th week of the Bundesliga this season. I think there will be changes from our predictions when we see how they perform this season. After all, their performance this season will greatly determine how our predictions are and will even affect the results of the match.

From their 2 meetings in the Bundesliga last season, in the first round they drew and in the second round of the league Leverkusen was able to win with a fairly convincing score, that's if we look at their last meeting. However, that cannot guarantee that it will happen again, because Bayern Munich will also try to win this match. They will not want to be embarrassed in this meeting by the club that last season managed to overthrow the Bundesliga title that they have controlled so far.

[Marvell1]

The situation in Bayern Munich team last season proved that something was lacking in the team despite the signing of Harry Kane so if they try to do a good job in the transfer market as they have always done it will help to transform the performance of the team and it will help them to move back to the top level where they will find it easy to challenge Bayer Leverkusen and reclaim the top spot from them.

So for next season I think anything is possible for Bayern Munich, and what is certain is that they will not easily win the Bundesliga title and even the percentage for that is not that big.

I am not sure about giving Vincent Kompany to manage a big club like Bayern Munich. I mean everybody already knows Bayern Munich is a big club and if you don’t win games and don’t stay at the top of the league and dominate the league, you might get sacked. Say what you want, but I believe Thomas Tuchel did a very good job last season managing the Die Roten squad. I know he finished 3rd with the club, but the thing is if you check the previous season, He earned more points than the previous season. As for the Uefa Champions League, he did a very well job and lost against Real Madrid who were the champions later.

I think Tuchel should have got another chance. As for Vincent Kompany, I am not too sure. He can do very well or he might flop. He has already started making changes in the Bayern Munich squad so, let’s see, what happens next.
