Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Velvet78]

Also, the loss to Leipzig has ruined Xavi Alonso's unbeaten record with his team. I was expecting him to reach Pep or Heynckes level, but it was wrong. That's sad Xabi's unbeaten record must end this fast.

That's some huge work by Guardiola and Heynckes of course. But doing it with Bayern Munich is easier on paper. I don't mean everyone can do the same though, you know what I mean.

Leverkusen also has really good players but on paper they are still a less valuable team. But it all depends on having a strong team play.    I wish Xabi Alonso broke that record as well. It would be unforgettable...

Bayern won their match, and as for Leverkusen, sooner or later they would have lost anyway, I think it's impossible to go two seasons without losing, so every time such a bet on a win was closer and closer to losing. Leverkusen have already set a record for games without defeat, I think they are proud of themselves and can start working on such an achievement from the beginning, if they have the strength to do so of course

Yeah a decent work done by Bayern Munich. Kane scored his first goal in the season too. I hope he scores more goals this season but this isn't the best start for that.    I really want him to break Lewandowski's 41-goal record in one season in this league...


By the way Heidenheim step forward these days. 2-0 and 4-0 wins in a row. Really impressive! I'm curious what they will do against bigger opponents.

[Hyphen(-)]

Good things often come to an end and I bet you that Leverkusen didn't expect to be beaten by RB Leipzig, the team that Leverkusen utterly frustrated last season. I guess this is pay back and now Xabi will have to work doubly hard to ensure they get back to tip top shape and get back to winning ways because he would not want a situation where fans will begin to fidget and start doubting him.
 It's still quite early for them and they can bounce back but the question they need to ask themselves is will other clubs sit by and fold their hands while they do so because it's looking like Bayern Munich are coming back to reclaim what they lost.

Yes, no team do expect the result they usually get in their games, and same as Leverkusen, they never think of losing to RB Leipzig because they know how well they perform last season as they were able to defeat almost all the big teams in the Bundesliga and they never expect that their current team will not keep the same standard, but other teams went to buy some players that will give them more hope of competing strong against Leverkusen and they are now doing their best to defeat Leverkusen in their second League match of this season. If Alonso didn’t do well, with the Champions League and other cups, they can hardly win the title because Munich and Dortmund are looking serious and they want to take control.

Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany is looking like a team that is back to take their mantle of leadership in the Bundesliga, I trust the team’s performance and I trust the Kompany’s process that they can achieve greatness.

It will not be easy to go through a season without defeat and from several strong leagues, only one team can at least record an undefeated record and that happened once and of course it became a new record recorded throughout the league. Now I think talking about that is like talking about something a little impossible, even though in the end we see a team that managed to do it very well. But that doesn't mean it will be possible again, even though the team is very strong, because there will be many factors that can make them succeed in recording a record like that. I have no choice but to say that one of the factors is luck, although this has also been controversial for us.

Luck is a slight factor that affects a teams success in situations as this actually it's not key but if need be, the key factor is mainly the teams abilities and strength especially when expectations and pressures on them are minimal, but if the reverse is the case, then the team may not be able to maintain such records and Bayer Leverkusen is a typical example as seen, they literally had almost no pressure also season, so very likely this occurs once in awhile and not often and it's difficult for a team to maintain it for more than once in a row, I have not seen that really happen in a long time.

luck is another factor in a fight or match, the rest is how the team as a whole carries out its duties. plus, the coach's system and tactics are also a whole package of a team. talking about a team without experiencing defeat is an achievement that not necessarily most of the strong teams can achieve and break the record, I don't even know if Munich has ever achieved it. in the Premier League, I remember Arsenal at that time undefeated throughout the last season won the title under the guidance of Arsene Wanger. Leverkusen did it very epic last season, they were untouched by defeat in the Bundesliga. but what we should also consider, although Alonso is a smart tactician, even so, other team coaches will also study their systems and weaknesses. plus the consistency of each player cannot be guaranteed to always appear prime, especially in two seasons. besides, last season Leverkusen played without pressure and burden. this season, they are the defending champions who must maintain their performance. clearly, there is a difference between the previous season and this season. Speaking of the Leverkusen vs Leipzig match, Marco Rose is a coach who is very familiar with his team. Also, his tactics worked well when Leipzig was able to make a comeback.

[slapper]

To be fair they did lose a game to Atalanta quite recently, so it is not their most recent loss, it's just Bundesliga one, which is of course still insane. They went a whole season without a single loss, that is amazing whenever it happens, in any league that happens.

Even Bayern when they dominated didn't do it if I remember right, PSG doesn't, City doesn't, to be fair nobody goes 50+ unbeaten games in a row, that just doesn't happen and they did it. In this season I didn't expected them to do the same, it would have been quite difficult and because of that I did expected them to have this issue, and that still doesn't mean that they are going to end up losing anything, they can still win the title even wit ha few losses here and there.

It will not be easy to go through a season without defeat and from several strong leagues, only one team can at least record an undefeated record and that happened once and of course it became a new record recorded throughout the league. Now I think talking about that is like talking about something a little impossible, even though in the end we see a team that managed to do it very well.

I have no choice but to say that one of the factors is luck, although this has also been controversial for us.

Leverkusen's recent season was a masterclass in coaching and execution; it was not just chance. Alonso created a machine without The Messi or Ronaldo. Flexible, orderly, mentally strong. Leverkusen jumped as Bayern and Dortmund were faltering. They were efficient; they lacked flashiness

Sure, luck does have a role. The strategies, the readiness, the pure bloody-mindedness - that is what distinguishes, though. Could they do it once more? PErhaps. Target is on their rear; pressure is on. Every club will be aiming for them. It's about handling the mental game as much as it is about ability. Leverkusen has taste of the exceptional. Staying hungry, staying focused, and proving it wasn't a fluke is now the issue

I am sure, Xabi Alonso is also ready with the bad results that might happen when extending his contract at that time but unfortunately, the defeat experienced occurred at home. But even so, at least Bayer Leverkusen still has good efforts and or performance because after all, in the two matches that have been played in fact Bayer Leverkusen always managed to score first by leading the match with a score of 2-0. But unfortunately, from the two matches that have been played it seems that Bayer Leverkusen is easy to turn around by the opposing team and thus, whether the problem is in the defense line or are Bayer Leverkusen satisfied with the score of 2-0.

Because after all, in the first match this season against Monchengladbach also in fact Monchengladbach managed to equalize the score to 2-2, but fortunately Bayer Leverkusen still managed to score a goal in injury time against Monchengladbach and was able to end the match with a score of 2-3. But in the home match against Leipzig, I think Bayer Leverkusen maybe satisfied quickly because after all, in reality the Leipzig coach also got a red card in that match.

Thus, Bayer Leverkusen might have felt like they would win after leading 2-0 because Leipzig was not accompanied by their head coach in that match, so Bayer Leverkusen let their guard down and Leipzig managed to get an epic comeback.

They shouldn’t just watch out on Bayern Munich who will want to reclaim back what they lost but they should also put an eye on all other clubs who are also going to fight for the league title after Bayern Leverkusen have made it look that anyone can actually fight for the title if they’re ready for it. The fact about the Bundesliga now is that every club wants to be the best and those that are even performing better will love to do more, maybe they can get the chance to win the league title this season. After Bayern Leverkusen loss to RB Leipzig, it now signifies that no more unbeaten run for them this season and they should just fight for their best in the league title since it’s early and very much still possible for them to win it.

That series is 90% Heikens' merit. He built a team that dominated Europe and not just the Bundesliga. Guardiola just took a top team and was knocked out of the Champions League three times in a row by Spanish clubs, that's his whole story in Bayern 
As for comparisons, yes, they are incorrect in the sense that Xabi had much fewer resources for such an achievement and he was able to do it with an underdog.

[SmartCharpa]

The fact that some people are expecting Leverkusen to play at the same level as they did last season is very embarrassing. Every team they faced last season already knew how to face Xabi Alonso's method, so they will do everything in their power to defeat them this season. This season will be very different from the previous season because every team has brought in better squads to compete for the championship. I won't be surprised if any unknown team wins the league as Leverkusen did the previous season.

However, Leverkusen's home defeat against Leipzig was very strange. Leverkusen led the first half with two goals, and to be honest, I did not expect Leipzig to make such a comeback against them, but that is football, and anything can happen. This is Xabi Alonso's first Bundesliga defeat, but I do not think they will win the league this season.

[Jossque]

Bayern Munich beat Freiburg 2-0 at home and got their 2nd win in the league.It wasn't too hard for Bayern Munich to win with goals from Harry Kane and Müller.
Heidenheim is another team that started the league well.They defeated Augsburg at home with 4 goals and are now the leaders.Looking at Heidenheim's game in general, they are very good offensively.Although they don't have much possession of the ball, they are definitely effective in the goal.

[Webetcoins]

Even if Bayer Leverkusen doesn't win the championship this year, I don't think their fans will be angry with them. Because they played so well last year and finished the season that the fans are in love with the team right now. I think they will finish the season as second even if they don't win the championship. However, the season has just started and they still have a chance to win the championship. Yes, they lost a game, but that's not the end of anything.

I mean of course, we are talking about something much more deeper right now, they already won once, and that's  the biggest thing they can even imagine. It's like Leicester story all over again, they even dropped to championship after the premier league title but the fans are still super happy with every player and even manager of that time, even the rest in peace owner of that time as well.

When you take a fairy tale type of story in football like that, it doesn't end that soon, they can finish 8th this season and it will still be fine for them, they are still quite happy because they are doing fine without much worry, they are happy with what they have. It's clear that they are going to end up with happy result no matter how they finish this season. The reality is that we are going to see Leverkusen still finish strong though, they can be the winners, or they can be in top three, that's the lowest I can see them doing at this point without a doubt.

Come on, a team spent a season without losing a game except one, and you think they can do it all over again, no right? Be realistic man. Bayer Leverkusen had a great season, fair play to them, but let's just not overexpect.

I think Xabi Alonso always had a lot to offer, he built up to last season pretty well, and the last season will always be remembered for a long long time. Only if they had won the UEL final, that would have been an unreal story, only one of a kind.

This season will not be the same definitely, but they still have a long way to go, a lot of games to be played still. If they manage their players properly, give all tournaments an organized approach, they can win trophies this season too, definitely.

[Baki202]

They shouldn’t just watch out on Bayern Munich who will want to reclaim back what they lost but they should also put an eye on all other clubs who are also going to fight for the league title after Bayern Leverkusen have made it look that anyone can actually fight for the title if they’re ready for it.

Bayern are trying everything possible to get their self back on track and it is exactly what everyone club will do, since they were unable to claim the title and even the champions league they did not even look like who had the intention to winning last season because even if they had the intention they will still be unable to still win it, even when I see you talking about reclaiming the Bundesliga title, and another thing is that I feel like is anyone can actually win the title if they are actually working for it.  And Bayern Leverkusen is also doing their best to keep the trophy again this season. RB Leipzig Is also tailing Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen with points, it's a serious competition between this season, and since all the clubs have the chance of winning it, and it is now looking as if all the clubs are well equipped this period and that way they will be able to prey on the weaker once so that they will gather more points to them self, that is the whole, the winner might just still be Bayern Leverkusen.

In the German Bundesliga, while I check the result of Bayern Munich, I also check the result of their counterparts Bayern Leverkusen. It is quite unfortunate that Bayern Leverkusen has dropped point this early period of the season. Actually this was not expected of them from me. I have thought that Xavi Alonso and his boys will maintain the momentum of last season even up to the middle of this season. But I was very surprised they had to drop points. If Bayern Leverkusen should continue to drop more points, it will then be very difficult to catch up with Bayern Munich when the season is about to end. It seems that Vincent Kompany is well prepared for this season's challenge and he might take it home. Let's watch how things will unfold though.

It wasn't easy for Bayern Munich to win but looking at the scores, you might say Freiburg didn't play well but they did although Bayern Munich are more powerful than them. Bayern tried many times to score but couldn't until after 40 minutes before they got the second goal that secured the game for them. This is their second victory and they are second on the league table behind Heidenheim that somehow have outscored them in the opening part of the season and haven't conceded any goals. This isn't a problem yet but Bayern shouldn't underate any team this season before they get a repeat of what happened to them last season that they lost to an unknown team .

This is football for you where nothing is guaranteed of, the unbeaten record that they kept last season has finally been broken, one thing you should take note of, is the fact that a lot of clubs came prepared this very season because of Leverkusen and has Bayern Leverkusen in mind base on that unbeaten record, a team might just have them in mind and decide they will be the one to break that record, even though they had not lost this very game.

[CroverNo01]

Bayern Munich beat Freiburg 2-0 at home and got their 2nd win in the league.It wasn't too hard for Bayern Munich to win with goals from Harry Kane and Müller.

I do consider the game to be an easy one for Bayern Munich, they're not working up effortlessly but they're concentrated on the improvement and important winnings. On the records, Harry Kane and Thomas Müller listed themselves on the scoresheet, both of them netting goal inother for the Bavarians to seal the winnings. This is crucial start for Bayern Munich and we totally understand the pressure from other oppositions. Bayern Munich secured victory against Freiburg and this was precisely one of the important game for Vincent Kompany. Taking out his time to ensure he obtained three points from Bundesliga games before facing over to the UEFA Champions League.

I agree Bayern Munich game was not very hard but they still tried their best to win. Goals from Harry Kane and Thomas Müller helped them to win and it is great start for team.
Win against Freiburg was very important for Vincent Kompany. It helps them do well in Bundesliga before playing in Champions League. Kompany wants his team to do well so he is taking time to prepare them for tough games ahead.
Bayern Munich needs to be able to play well under pressure from other good teams. With this win they showed they have skill and determination to succeed. I am excited to see how they will keep playing in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Bayern Munich did not play well against Wolfsburg in the first match of the season. However, Munich won the match. However, in the second match against Freiburg, Munich's performance was very organized. Munich played very well and won the match 2-0. Kane and Muller both scored in this match. Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot though.

Bayern Munich will play against Holstien Kiel in the next match. I don't see the possibility of Munich dropping points against Kiel. This team is weak. Holstien Kiel lost the first two matches. Going to be an easy win for Munich. And Munich has a chance to win this match by a big margin. Because Kiel's defense is weak.

[Helena Yu]

Come on, a team spent a season without losing a game except one, and you think they can do it all over again, no right? Be realistic man. Bayer Leverkusen had a great season, fair play to them, but let's just not overexpect.

I think Xabi Alonso always had a lot to offer, he built up to last season pretty well, and the last season will always be remembered for a long long time. Only if they had won the UEL final, that would have been an unreal story, only one of a kind.

This season will not be the same definitely, but they still have a long way to go, a lot of games to be played still. If they manage their players properly, give all tournaments an organized approach, they can win trophies this season too, definitely.

I believe this season Bayern Munich will become a champion because Leverkusen is different now, they're just like other one season wonder teams, make a huge upset and then back become mediocre teams. Xabi Alonso is too confident with the current squad, he didn't sign top players, unlike Bayern Munich have sign 3 great players.

I will be happy to see Harry Kane can win his first domestic league trophy, everyone will cry lol.

[Hirose UK]

In the Bundesliga match, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leverkusen are the favorite team, so Stuttgart and Leverkusen played at home, but all three team failed to win the second week match.
Starting with Dortmund who met Bremen with final score of 0 - 0 and Stuttgart against Mainz with final score of 3 - 3, then followed by Leverkusen who was defeated by Leipzig with final score of 2 - 3, which was quite bad was Dortmund because apart from not being able to beat Bremen, they also had to receive red card.
I took all three in one multi-bet slip along with Bayern Munich as the last team that was the favorite, but unfortunately the other three teams have failed and made everything not according to expectations.

It is quite surprising indeed the results of the top Bundesliga teams this week, especially I see the big surprise is Leverkusen's defeat which previously many said that they would try to maintain the record like last season but unfortunately in the second week's match they had already experienced defeat and even that happened at their home ground
I see this is not Leverkusen who experienced a decline in quality but the increase in the quality of the Leipzig team that made them win the match.

I watched this match, and I saw Leverkusen's defeat was quite painful, they conceded in the final minutes like they can do to other teams when they win but now they are experiencing it.

Well that quite disappointing because after all the top Bundesliga teams are everyone favorites, especially for home games then clearly the advantage belongs to them, but in utilizing all these advantages it turns out that they cannot match expectations.
I don't expect much for Leverkusen to be able to get record like last season which became team without single defeat, but at least they can get win for every home game, this is more than enough for me.
But you are right that Leipzig performance looks much better at the beginning of this season than last season, they have prepared quite well, unlike Leverkusen where Xabi still maintains the same squad as before.
For the future there is another opportunity in the middle of the season for Leverkusen to improve their squad, Xabi must prepare Leverkusen again to be able to finish the season well.
