Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[$anounimus$]

I believe that Bayern Munich will be a disappointment in the Bundesliga this year too. Today, Wolfsburg was ahead 0-1 away. At the beginning of the second half, Wolfsburg made the score 2-1. At minute 65, Kaminski scored his own goal and the score became 2-2.  S.Gnabry scored the winning goal for Bayern in the 82nd minute and Bayern finished the match 2-3.
I think Bayern will lose this league again this year, depending on the football played. Maybe there may even be a change of coach before the 10th week.

Yes I felt the same way, but after 45 minutes it turn out that Bayern had change the game.  Work and effort was good from Wolfsburg and they also scored two goals.  The players of both these teams need to improve their pace as their player took a long time to score. They should try to score as many goals as possible with each other and win the match. If they work hard and struggle they can improve themselves, but it is up to them whether they want to be out of this league or in.If this coach is not bring Bayern to a good performance then this coach really needs to change so that Bayern can improve themselves and get interest in the league.

It is not easy to manage a team as big as Bayern Munich and Kompany must be given time and it is difficult for him to immediately be able to transform the team and immediately become champions. I think the first match against Wolfsburg was quite good and it seems that Kompany will improve the permanent quality especially in the lower line which still looks unstable. Unlike you, I feel confident that Bayern Munich will be a challenger even though they are not favored

[Silence Scream]

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.

I think Bayern Munich played very well in the match. They created many chances and even Wolfsburg saved many. Their goalkeeper Grabara played a very good match. They also managed to win 3-2 despite falling behind without losing their game discipline. I think it was a good match for Vincent Kompany. They will gradually get used to the league and play better, I am sure of that.

[W Jr.]

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

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.

Bayern Munich actually only needs to find the key that has been lost or in other words the new coach must find a way to restore Bayern Munich's consistency.
With high consistency, Bayern Munich will certainly regain the dominance that was lost last season, although it is currently more difficult because Leverkusen is on the list of clubs challenging Bayern Munich, but if Vincent Kompany succeeds in finding the right strategy, I am sure Bayern Munich will succeed in getting the title this season.
Vincent Kompany only has to continue to pay attention to every problem that occurs, including the weakness of the midfielders and the defense that must always be changed so that consistency is maintained.

I also think that too many mistakes are made in the defense. A team like Bayern Munich should not have defenders who make so many mistakes. The two goals they conceded in the Wolfsburg match were made by their defenders. Sacha Boey made a penalty kick in one goal, and Kim Min Jae lost the ball and scored the second goal. Bayern Munich came back in this match, but what if they hadn't? So I think the most important thing is to reinforce the defense with good players

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

It's only the beginning but indeed this can be good observation material for Kompany so that he can continue to improve Bayern's performance in the next match.
The situation remains the same as before in the Tuchel era where they will never lose when talking about possession and chances but there is one condition where they are always struggling to deal with counter-attacks and in the match against Wolfsburg we can see that. They are very good at attacking especially on both sides they are good at emphasizing speed which Olise has adapted well to his new club but their defense is too far away from the post when attacking making counter-attacking situations always a major problem for them.
If this can finally be fixed by Kompany then I think they'll be in much better shape.

[MAAManda]

Vincent Kompany didn't bring magic to Bayern Munich, that's the natural result they got with the strongest & most expensive squad in the Bundesliga. He couldn't give his best when he was at Burnley because the leagues in England were too competitive, it was difficult to make a miracle like the one Ranieri made when he helped Leicester win the PL.

Exactly, after all, it is very different between Bayern Munich and Burnley. Bayern Munich is a big club that is already strong, has a lot of money, and many players are stronger than Burnley. While Burnley, in the EPL, their competitors are indeed tighter, and there are many strong EPL clubs. While now at Bayern Munich, Kompany should be able to have much more potential. We'll just have to see how it develops in the future.

Not only you, I think there are many other people who agree with me, a single grape can't be compared to an apple, that's the metaphor. Vincent Kompany's burden is also heavier now, he's forced to unleash all the team's potential because management has spent a lot of money on Vincent Kompany's various plans.

However, the results of latest match can't be used as a reference that now Vincent Kompany is taking Bayern Munich to a better path, just look at how the match went, it was not an easy win and they had to turn things around to get the full 3 points. In other words nothing impressive so far.

Kompany has indeed faced serious challenges since he officially took charge of Bayern Munich. Many people doubt his capacity and I think that is quite logical. But of course Bayern Munich management has examined and of course did not give him a high target in a short time. Kompany is certainly aware of the pressure he faces and he also always works hard to be able to give his best for the team based at the Allianz Arena. The victory over Wolfsburg is certainly the initial capital for Kompany and he will try his best to continue to hunt for victory. I really appreciate Kompany and still consider Bayern Munich as a strong candidate to win the championship this season with Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund.

Do you really think Bayern Munich's performance in the first match was satisfactory? Sorry I can't agree with you. Munich's performance against Wolves in the first match was not a good one for me.

Bayern Munich has a very strong squad. Even the strongest squad in Bundesliga is Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich conceded 2 goals against Wolves. Bayern Munich won the match 3-2. And I would say Munich were very lucky to get 3 points in the match. Wolves conceded their second goal of the match thanks to a mistake by defender Kaminski. Had Kaminski not made this mistake, the match would have been a 2-2 draw. I will say that if the performance of Bayern Munich does not improve, Bayern Munich team will not be able to dominate the Bundesliga this season. Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Dortmund are very strong.

A win is a win and the bookies still favour Bayern to win the title, with the outright odds currently being x1.53 for Bayern to win the title, while Leverkusen's odds are at x3.10.

I'm rooting for Bayer though. I'm pretty sure Xabi could've left for much bigger and richer club after the last season (as there have been quite a few big clubs looking for new managers) but he decided to stay for another season, which must mean he believes he can replicate the success. But to be fair, the club owners will probably still be satisfied with 2nd place and with going through the League stage (which replaced the group stage from this season) of the Champions' League.

[Adiljutt156]

Bayern Leverkusen continues where they left off in the league, they opened the new season with a win.
We watched an enjoyable match tonight. Let's see what kind of B.Leverkusen we will watch this season.
Granit Xhaka opened the season with a very nice goal tonight.

It is very impressive to see that Bayern Leverkusen have started on a remarkable note this season again. They’ve come a long way to make things work them this season also and what with their opening game, it’s sure going to be an entertaining season for them just like the previous ones. They scores an extra time goal in this game and that’s to say they haven’t left scoring final minutes goals again. However, they should be careful because they can’t always be lucky with this type of goals. Being a defending champion and still wanting to defend the championship requires extra effort and dedication, they should give their all in this season to make things work for them.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen team should work more on their skills. Because every day will be different and if they played final match and in final match they faced that kind of situation, they will lose the match. F. Wirtz did two goals and played crucial role in win .  After his second goal his team  won the match by 3-2 goals.  He did goal in the 101 minutes of match and before this match was tough for both teams but after his goal his team was very close to win and we didn't see next goal  in this match and Bayer 04 Leverkusen won  the match easily.  The shots of  Bayer 04 Leverkusen team were  very wonderful and many shots were on target.

I also think Kompany has tough time since becoming Bayern Munich manager and it is normal for people to wonder if he is up to job. But club leaders have been realistic about what he can do and have not put too much pressure on him. Kompany knows people are watching him closely and he is working hard to do his best for team. Win against Wolfsburg is good start and I think he will keep trying to succeed. Even though some people doubted him at first I still think Bayern Munich can win championship this season along with Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund. Kompany hard work and determination will be important for team to reach their goals.

The answer is quite simple because competing in the Premier League is not as easy as when in the Championship and Burnley could not keep up with the game of the clubs in the Premier League even though they are the weakest clubs there, the lack of quality players is the cause of Burnley's performance not being optimal I think it is very reasonable because this club is also not a top club they also have difficulty recruiting quality players while when Kompany was at Bayern Munich he could be more free because he was filled with talented players so he could maximize their performance. Bayern Munich is not the only club that won 3 points, Leverkusen, Dortmund and Leipzig also won full points in their first match so there is still a lot of work for Vincent Kompany to make Bayern Munich continue to perform consistently.

There is a lot of criticism and also fan distrust of Kompany's current coaching even though so far he has managed to lead Munich to victory in the first Bundesliga match, I think what the fans actually feel is quite reasonable considering Kompany experience and also his failure at Burnley previously, but regardless of that, of course the trust given by Bayern Munich management should be able to be paid by Kompany with the get achievement of the championship trophy at the end of the season Later, in my opinion, although currently the management gives great trust and freedom to Kompany, but he also has a very big burden and risk to coach Bayern Munich, so when this season Bayern Munich is not better than Tuchel coaching in last season, then maybe we are will not wait for the season to end to see Kompany fired by Munich later.

[rendravolt]

It seems like Stuttgart just finished a bad start and this defeat to Freiburg seems unforgivable. In fact, Stuttgart is still one of the favorite teams in the top four and with obstacles like this it seems they will have a hard time getting to where they deserve to be. Guirassy's departure should not be a problem because they still have Denis Undav but unfortunately he played quite badly.

Freiburg even occupies the top position in the Bundesliga so far thanks to a victory with a large goal difference. But they should not be proud first because teams like Leverkusen, Dortmund, Leipzig, and Bayern Munich have not started their goal rain party and it's just a matter of time. Moreover, this week Freiburg will also face Bayern Munich and the previous victory seems quite impossible to repeat in this week's match.

The risk that Kompany had to accept from the start. He himself accepted the offer to become the head of Bayern Munich and he already knew that there would be many people who doubted his capacity as a coach of a club as big as Bayern Munich. Personally, I would not blame the fans for their comments and doubts, and I would not blame Kompany either. Because in the end, what will speak is the final result. The good and bad of Kompany where the fans can only be resolved with trophies, if it fails then Kompany can be fired again.

Of course, a sharper assessment will occur when Bayer Munich will meet Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund. Kompany must be fully prepared for the situation that occurs, but if he is able to win the match, it is very possible that the assessment will be reversed and people will slowly stop making fun of him. If we trace it back to the previous season, who would dare to say that Alonso would be successful with Leverkusen? Of course not. But that's what happens in a competition, many things will happen beyond reason.

Moreover, this week Freiburg will also face Bayern Munich and the previous victory seems quite impossible to repeat in this week's match.

The match against Bayern Munich could be very hard for Freiburg because they have poor records from Bayern Munich and we can see it based on head to head statistics between them that in the last 8 meeting Bayern Munich can able to gets 5 wins and only lost once so this is probably could being an one side match because Bayern Munich is too strong from Freiburg and here is meeting statistics records from both teams below



I didn't watching the match of Bayern Munich last week but based on their match statistics i can see Bayern Munich is very aggressive with 71% ball possession and for this match because Freiburg quality below to Bayern Munich i am sure since the beginning of match Bayern Munich will do the same thing that they will be dominate the match too

Bayern Munich good for attacking but they seems not too solid for their defense it proven Wolfsburg can scores 2 goals from them last week so i think there is potention for this match to ended with over 2.5 goals or other option just like both teams to scores also good

The problem is not as if they can not do it but they have to be very careful since there jobs are always at stake, if you have not achieved it people will look down on you and people don't want their expectation to be high to much so that he wont disappoint them when they have started believing in him and if you look at it Bayern Munich is already a made club, I don't think he should be struggling with trying to put Bayern in place so that when ever they did not meet up with their expectation they wont be carried unaware. I will say that he his actually trying is best but you know just because we are not in his shoe we are not going to know what he is facing as a coach, he should be given time so that they wont make decisions just because he wants to please people which will affect the team i feel even the management should not bother him they should allow the man showcase himself, and been free is the best thing, because again when the pressure become to much their wont be any tangle result coming am not sure if Bayern will be able to win any trophy.

Yes, the real challenge is to beat Bayer Leverkusen and reclaim the Bundesliga trophy that was stolen last season, this is real proof that Kompany must show this season to eliminate all doubts that are currently pinned on him, if you look at yesterday's match that Bayern Munich played when they beat Wolfsburg I see Munich ready to fight for the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen and Dortmund, as long as in every match that they will play "Munich" can be consistent.

Bayern lost two strong defenders who moved to Manchester United, De Ligt and Mazraoui are reliable defenders. After the departure of these two defenders, Bayern's first match in the Bundesliga slightly declined in its defense. Although they managed to score 3 goals, they also conceded 2 goals to their opponents. Wolfsburg is not a strong team in the Bundesliga, but they were able to make Neuer have to pick up the ball in his own goal. which means, Kompany has homework to devise a strategy so that his players play optimally. especially, so that their defense line is more disciplined. for the front line and midfielders, they performed quite well. Kompany's first match in the Bundesliga and he needs adjustments. next, I am optimistic that they will perform better from match to match. I am quite sure that if Bayern's top brass want Kompany to bring his team back to win the Bundesliga trophy, they still have a chance to make it happen. the problem is, how consistent are the Bayern Munich players and Kompany as the boss in the squad. therefore, we just follow each match that they will play to ensure each performance.

I love that the Bayern Munich management didn’t give Komoany a very big target for this season, with that, he will have extra time to achieve that target and may possibly want to get something better than that in order to win the favour of the team’s management in the future. I really love his coaching style even though I haven’t really examined how far this style will be useful for him in the league and the champions league. They’ve started well and if they continue on this trend, they will be topping the table if not being one of the major contenders alongside Bayern 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund.

The champions league is also a very important competition for them to also prevail in. They are always competent team in the champions and always make if far in the competition. Most of their players now have a lot of experience of the champions league, Kompany just need to use the right tactics in order to make them more competitive in the competition and try to win the trophy alongside the Bundesliga trophy too. Bayern Munich have started well I must say, hope they continue this good performance to the end.
