Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Fiatless]

Exactly, Bayern Munich has a big challenge this season that cannot be underestimated. Leverkusen and Dortmund, at least those two clubs will be their tough competitors.

Especially if we look at the last match Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg, even though they won, their game was not effective and accurate enough.

Check these statistics:

Google/bundesliga-wolfsburg-vs-bayern-munich

They have 71% ball possession, but only 8 shots on target, and only 2 goals created + 1 OG

The statistics clearly showed that Bayern Munich outclassed Wolfsburg. They had total control of the game and produced several chances but the biggest obstacle was masked goalkeeper Kamil Grabara. The Polish player made six saves denying Serge Gnabry, Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich from scoring. Wolfsburg didn't show much class but they were good in stealing possession and using the counterattack.

It was a good start for Vincent Kompany's side and the Belgian showed some level of tactical prowess. He was able to know when the match needed experienced players like Thomas Müller. The German came in with a written tactical instruction written by the coach which he passed to his teammates. The substitute turned out to be a good one because the attack became more active and Muller also provided the assist that produced the winning goal by Serge Gnabry.

Vincent Kompany seems to be bringing the magic to the Bundesliga like he did when he was handling Burnley in the championship and it got me wondering why he couldn't replicate the same performance when they got promoted to the premier league. Is it that the Bundesliga is not much difficult than the Premier league or was it that he didn't have good players at his disposal while he was in the EPL? Anyways, a good first start for him and even though it was hard fought, three points is still three points and I'm happy he was able to get that because some teams in other leagues tend to get draws in their opening games in the new season.
 It's the start to the season and the whole thing is getting competitive already; let's see if Vincent Kompany can maintain this excellent start.

Kompany has only brought one victory to Munich and even if you look at the match, Bayern Munich had to struggle to secure their victory in that match, so it is too early for us to praise Kompany performance in Munich at this time, I personally am not someone who underestimates him since he took over Munich but I also don't want to praise Kompany just based on one match at the moment, if we compare the Bundesliga and the Premier League of course there is a big difference in terms of competition, so far we know that the English League is a very competitive league compared to the Bundesliga, so every team needs a capable squad to be able to compete in the English league and Kompany didn't get that when he coached Burnley last season.

Typical of Kompanyball, it's strong on offense, but weak on defense. It's pretty much the same as what Kompany did at Burnley, and he is now implementing it at Bayern. The defensive line has become our main issue, but I'm not sure this can be sorted out in a short time. The defensive line looks very catastrophic, especially in the center back.

Kim is a constant liability for us, and he must be benched. And I'd replace him with Dier instead. Though this is the first game of this season, we won't win any trophies if we defend like this all seasons.

Bayern Munich were saved a little by an own goal in the match even though the Bayern Munich front line already looks quite capable. But as you said, Bayern Munich still need to polish their back line as a better defense if they want to compete for the Bundesliga title this season. But I hope Bayern Munich must be able to fix the weak line before the second game of the season because Kompany must make it different in the next match after seeing the result of the first match yesterday at his opponent's home.

Bayern Munich did manage to get a win in the first match against Wolfsburg, but there is still a little concern in the defense. Munich still conceded goals and Vincent Kompany must pay attention to this because last season's mistakes were due to poor defense. Although the attack line is very strong because of Kane, all of that will not be balanced if the defense still looks weak. If we compare it to the EPL, of course Vincent Kompany should be more comfortable and free to manage Munich players because Munich finances and player quality are much better and hopefully this will be a good start for Vincent Kompany.

Bayern Munich opened their journey in the 2024/2025 Bundesliga season with a win at their opponent's headquarters, the score 2-3 lasted until the end of the match and was decorated with an own goal from a Wolfsburg player which made Bayern Munich superior in this match. This victory is certainly very encouraging for Kompany who managed to win on his debut managing Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but there are several tasks that Kompany must prioritize so that his team becomes more solid. Conceded two goals was not a good start for Kompany, had it not been for the own goal in this match, Bayern Munich would have had to be satisfied with a point. Harry Kane did not score in this match, the midfield must be more active in sending passes to the front line to make it easier for the strikers to score goals, but they must also be able to take advantage of opportunities to increase goal productivity.

I watched Bayern Munich game at Wolfsburg over the weekend and if I must say, I don't think it's it's something to become over hyped about considering the fact that they really struggled to get that win. Bayern Munich is still a work in progress which is why I don't think it's okay to put any pressure on the manager in his first 5-10 games in charge. I believe Vincent Kompany will improve the team now that he's getting all the backings of the club's management. The Bundesliga isn't as easy as it used to be because the other teams in the league are now fighting for the title as well but I believe that Vincent Kompany will do extremely well.

Vincent Kompany having been a defender in his football career as a player should be able to make firm the lapses arising from Bayern Munich's weak defense shortly in a matter of time. Frankly, It was an obvious terrible back line against worfsburg not an encouraging start for an elite team despite the victory gotten. Nonetheless, the season has just started so it's too early to escalate issues about Vincent's ability to give Bayern Munich the trophy this season. Best of luck to him as the season rolls on...

All matches in the first week of the Bundesliga have finished, from the results achieved by all teams I think it went according to predictions, almost all teams that were favored at the beginning were really able to win in this first week. Of the 9 matches played, only one match ended without a winner, that happened in the match between Mainz vs Union Berlin. Despite the draw they achieved in that match, I think that result was indeed a fair result for both teams. Both Mainz and Union Berlin were able to perform well so that they were only able to share points in their first week.

I watched Bayern Munich game at Wolfsburg over the weekend and if I must say, I don't think it's it's something to become over hyped about considering the fact that they really struggled to get that win.

It was Vincent Kompany's first official match with Bayern Munich after being appointed to handle Bayern Munich this season. Overall, their performance was good in that match although there are still some notes that they need to improve in the upcoming matches. I highlighted their defense in this match, maybe they are still adapting so they are easier to break through by the opponent, but as time goes by I think their defensive line performance will be even better. With longer togetherness it will create harmony in the defensive area, at least that's what we hope.

The only reason I'm yet to be particular about making conclusions on Bayern Munich is that this happens to be their first bundesliga game for the season of which they appear to still have some more time with which they can make up for these times but it's still not enough to not have an excellent start, tho they won but the performance was such a struggle which we did expected much more from them. Kompany at This time appears to still trying to get along with the Germans football pattern because he's not been in the German league before so he's going to need a whole lot of the time to fit in and become productive enough to meet up with expectations.

This should be a sign for Bayern that this season they cannot relax like previous seasons because indeed the clubs in the Bundesliga are now increasing in quality which makes it difficult for us to predict what happens in 90 minutes of the match.

Exactly, Bayern Munich has a big challenge this season that cannot be underestimated. Leverkusen and Dortmund, at least those two clubs will be their tough competitors.

Especially if we look at the last match Bayern Munich vs Wolfsburg, even though they won, their game was not effective and accurate enough.

Check these statistics:

Google/bundesliga-wolfsburg-vs-bayern-munich

They have 71% ball possession, but only 8 shots on target, and only 2 goals created + 1 OG

A win's a win. It shows they still have that championship spirit. Vincent Kompany is adaptable. He's a legend. And even legends require time to find their place on a different squad. Though I see this eventually strengthening Bayern, there are some issues to sort out. Dortmund and Leverkusen have sharpness. Xabi Alonso's got Leverkusen protecting the title, and Dortmund's got a new energy under their coach. For the Bundesliga this is fantastic. The league is more competitive than ever.

Folks, they must translate possession into goals. Its as simple as that. Their defense must remain concentrated for the whole ninety minutes; their offense must be more clinical. Remember that late Gnabry goal? They most require more of this kind of deadly instinct.

Indeed, there is work to be done; yet, Bayern has the capacity and expertise to win. They just need to execute their game plan.

That happened because Wolfsburg also played very well in this match, especially for the problem of fast counter-attacks, which in the end made Bayern a little confused with the scheme they did.

Bayern dominating the game is a natural thing but Kompany's problem in yesterday's match seems to be the same as what Tuchel feels where for the problem of attack and possession of the ball they are always the same (very good) but the problem of defense which is sometimes unprepared for fast counterattacks because it is too focused on attacking it is always disastrous for them. In addition, the mistakes of the players must also be minimized because we must have seen for the process of Wolfsburg's second goal because of the mistakes of the defenders who actually became blunders for them.
But 3 points is still very good for their first match because this is a good start for Kompany.

I look forward to a time like this where the Bundesliga would not be a sole dominated league as it has been for many years with Bayern Munich going unchallenged. It’s always difficult to even gamble on them even as the odds are always very low, 1.2 odds and below for Bayern Munich win and at times, you find them loosing when least expected.

Bayer Leverkusen did the unexpected last season and such performance is anticipated this season with Dortmund on the side to challenge Bayern even further. RB Leipzig is one team that would have been added to the least of contenders but, even them are not so consistent.

So indeed Wolfsbrug played well and Munich was the same, it's just that Munich didn't seem to be lucky. The first match was quite good for Kompany. But this condition must certainly be evaluated, they have not competed with the top team. Kompany has to make a lot of improvements to maximize the players to be able to compete with other big teams. Indeed, ball dominance is not a measure of victory, Munich must be able to play more effectively and improve the final finish. They also have to avoid being caught in the penalty box so that there are no penalty kicks for the opponent.  Because I believe other teams will be better and have varying strengths.

Bayern Munich encountered numerous difficulties against the tight, resilient play of the home team. Thanks to an own goal and a goal near the end of the second half, coach Vincent Kompany's team was able to defeat Wolfsburg. Bayern's victory over Wolfsburg was not as easy and smooth as the way they exploded on the summer tour. As for the home team Wolfsburg, although they were outnumbered, their counterattacks were quite sharp.

Bayern still fell into a state of overwhelming attack and broken defense like last season.I think coach Kompany still has a lot of work to do at Bayern, one of which is to fix the defense. Bayern almost paid the price for mistakes by Sacha Boey and Kim Min-Jae. Musiala is still Bayern's number 1 inspiration at the moment. Gnabry is showing positive signs after a long period of decline.

Trying t think Leverkusen and Dortmund will perform any lesser than they had done in months most recent times would be a very dangerous underestimation which may be a huge problem to Bayern Munich and I believe Bayern Munich are never going to do such because they know for sure that these guys have go their eyes on the trophy and aren't going to stop trying for any reason until they are able to get to win the trophy. Bayern Munich has got a whole lot to tackle at this point especially trying to get their stance with their new coach who's still figuring it out around the bundesliga. Against Wolfsburg they did tried but that performance isn't the type they will go against bigger teams with, even with them having the most possession, they still were able to show the perfect dominance by the score line.
