Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[DanWalker]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[rendravolt]

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.

I actually think the opposite where Freiburg could have scored their second win after in the previous match they managed to beat Stuttgart. But this is Bayern Munich and any mediocre team will be defeated when facing them. However, there is one good record from Freiburg where they did not concede many goals and this proves that they are not that bad at the start of this season.

For Heidenheim it is usually like this and for a small team they are extraordinary. Not only because they won big but also secured their starting position with a lot of points. This can be a guarantee in crucial matches such as they find it difficult to win and at least they will not be thrown to the bottom of the table in the near future. But in the end their current position is only temporary because they will lose more points later.

[Justbillywitt]

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...

It would have been difficult for Leverkusen to break that record. That record was set by two great managers that football has ever witnessed. Xabi Alonso is still early in his managerial career to be breaking records set by legends of the game. Xabi is destined for greatness in football management. He has already written his name in the history book, by going unbeaten last season. But he can't just take one year or two to break records that it took years for two great mangers to set. These Pep Guardiola and Heynckes didn't achieve this with an ordinary club, they were able to achieve this with Bayern Munich the best team in the league. If it were any minor team like Xabi found himself, I don't think they would have achieved that record. There are records that can't be broken unless one is properly equipped and Leverkusen don't look too equipped with enough squad dept to break that record.

It seems to me that the Champions League will always be a priority tournament for any team, because it is the most prestigious tournament and because there are quite high fees that will stimulate the team to win. Whoever their opponent is, I am sure that they will have the task of getting out of the group to the playoffs, this will already imply very decent bonus payments. Moreover, Bayern has always strived to win this tournament, I think they do not have a task below the semi-finals or the final, so this season they will try to win the Bundesliga and the Champions League, but it is hard to believe in the second task.

The choice is still there for the kompany but there is still a trophy that is indeed a target by kompany must meet in his first season in charge of Munich, I personally may see if the Bundesliga trophy will be the main target that at least the kompany which must get, because after all losing dominance in the league last season has made a tremendous surprise to the management and also the Munich fans, so it seems that in order to restore their status as the rulers of the Bundesliga of course Munich will try to focus to get the domestic league trophies whether it is the Bundesliga or the DFB pokal, but as @Jody.Drummer said, When the Munich squad is able to maximize in the two competitions, of course there is nothing wrong with staying on those two paths competition, but if it is felt that they are better prepared to face one competition, it is clear that Kompany will prefer to prioritize the domestic league this season even though the Champions League is the most prestigious trophy among the other trophies available.

the biggest question is

Can Vincent Kompany handle his Bayern Munich players the same way he did at Burnley and Anderlecht?

Vincent Kompany just started out, and as big as Bayern Munich may be, everyone needs to understand it's a new manager, and all new managers need time at their respective clubs. He had a decent pre-season, signed a few players that they needed, and now it's all up to them how they want to go forward.

The UCL draw just arrived, and I think the matches Bayern are playing are not that hard. Yes, the primary focus might be on the league right now, but they will also have to do at least decent in the Champions League. And that is not hard for the team that Kompany has at his disposal, so I would expect them to give very good fights in the coming days.

If I want to be positive I can say Kompany can be better than this because he is getting more experienced and after getting more experienced we can expect to see better performance from this coach time after time but it was still too soon for him to start coaching a team like Bayern Munich because there is more superstar players there is fans there putting the coach under pressure to getting better result and if he fails in any game he will be under more pressure from the fans and media.

[Salahmu]

This can be a guarantee in crucial matches such as they find it difficult to win and at least they will not be thrown to the bottom of the table in the near future.

If Heidenheim keep up with this performance they will become one of the best club on this Bundesliga, however just as they say that starting point is always important they have started very well, so all they need is just to have this focus and energy against there coming match, I have always perceive this Bundesliga to be different from other ones not because those regular champion will not win but because some of the club we did not expect will put a good energy in wining there matches.

Is already assured that bottom position is not for Heidenheim however Frank Schmidt is handling the club way more better than last season and from the players they have signed he is making good use of them, the time to no there real performance is there next match with Borussia Dortmund because some persons believe that Borussia Dortmund has the performance of wining this league and I find difficult believing that so if Heidenheim win them or draw the match I will no that they may possibly qualify for champions League next season.

I think he must have gotten used to this situation a lot in his football career because Kompany is a player who has played with many world stars at Manchester City. He must know how to handle the star players at Bayern Munich because he has come from this business. The Bundesliga is a difficult league but Kompany will get used to it right away, he came here from the center of that difficulty, England.

For two league games Kompany has worked well. He got a maximum of 6 points. But I also see that Bayern Munich has not played against a strong Bundesliga team. Like Leipzig, Leverkusen. So the Kompany exam process has not been tested definitively. They will also feature in the UCL so let's see. It seems that he also wants to prove the doubts of his supporters. So far his winning record is still perfect.

Ancelotti had not played against a serious team, but they drew two in four games. Bayern Munich may not have played against a serious team, but we have to congratulate the manager for the way things went. They also played against Freiburg, and Freiburg was a strong team in my opinion. They managed to beat them and left the field with a 2-0 victory. I think they are the biggest favorites for the championship in Germany this year. Bayer Leverkusen has already lost three points.

[Adiljutt156]

Leverkusen got their first defeat this season from Leipzig although playing at home but Leverkusen performing poorly and previously most people at here have been discussed about this match because they are very sure Leverkusen can win the match so many people has starting to bets on them because people thought Leverkusen still able to managed their records on Bundesliga but in fact they lost from Leipzig and indeed this is very dissapointed and i know Bundesliga has just beginning but this result makes me starting to doubt Leverkusen can defend their title because they still unable to playing consistent

RB Leipzig football team played well in this match and won the match in last minutes and before 3rd goal of RB Leipzig team ,goals were equal. But after that we saw decision of match ,that was in the side of RB Leipzig team .  Leverkusen team could not play well in this match but we expected that Leverkusen team is favorite for that match but game is game and everyday is different and every team can win the match against any big  team.  At the 57 minutes of the match ,the score was level but after we saw change in the match because Leverkusen could not defend well in last minutes and we saw  good performance by RB Leipzig team, especially  Openda who did two goals for the team and team won the match against big team . Now, RB Leipzig is winner of back to back two matches.

At the beginning of this season, many people praised Vincent Kompany with the 6 points that Bayern Munich managed to get. I agree with @Luzin opinion that Munich has not yet found an equal opponent. So Vincent Kompany cannot be fully said to be a reliable coach when he has not passed the tough obstacles facing several other strong teams and competing in other competitions. In the next few weeks we will be able to see whether Vincent Kompany deserves to be called a great coach and can bring Munich to a higher level. Competing in several competitions is not an easy task even though he has experience as a Man City player.

Yes he must’ve gotten used to the situation and handling star players shouldn’t be much of a problem for him because he was once a captain to Manchester City when they had lots of stars. I like his football philosophy and the style he wants to instill in the players, it might not be 100% now but with a little time every thing should be good, he is at his earliest coaching career that’s why i have faith in him.

For two league games Kompany has worked well. He got a maximum of 6 points. But I also see that Bayern Munich has not played against a strong Bundesliga team. Like Leipzig, Leverkusen.

Playing against a strong team is the biggest challenge for him and if he should come out on top then he will prove all doubters wrong. He hasn’t played against top teams but having secured maximum points in the two matches played means they have no problem winning smaller teams and if you check properly you will see that smaller teams are more than bigger ones and winning all matches against smaller opponents will take the team even far.

And for the champions league we will see their performance there and that will be the biggest of test for Kompamy.

Bayern Munich match schedule.

Kompany is a player who has played at the highest level, but when it comes to coaching, not everyone can do it. In fact, he has never managed a team as strong and with a lot of opportunities as Bayern Munich. He may seem to have had unsuccessful results because he managed an average team and the opponents he faced were much stronger than him. However, Bayern Munich is a team that can provide him with all kinds of opportunities. The management must have believed in his technical quality and put him in charge of the team. The upcoming matches can be challenging for Bayern Munich both in the league and the Champions League. This is when Kompany will have the opportunity to show himself.

[bitLeap]

If I want to be positive I can say Kompany can be better than this because he is getting more experienced and after getting more experienced we can expect to see better performance from this coach time after time but it was still too soon for him to start coaching a team like Bayern Munich because there is more superstar players there is fans there putting the coach under pressure to getting better result and if he fails in any game he will be under more pressure from the fans and media.

We all know that Kompany experience as a club manager is still very minimal, but if he keeps saying that it is too early to hold a club as big as Bayern Munich, then when is the right time?
There is nothing wrong with giving Kompany the trust to prove that he also has the right to try to give his best. Let's give him one season and see how far the results he can show. Because, Bayern Munich problem from the past until now is the dissatisfaction of the club's top brass. If they are not satisfied, they are immediately fired, if they make a small mistake, they are fired, if they fail to win a trophy, they are fired and so on. This has resulted in many famous coaches being reluctant to accept offers. As far as I know about Bayern Munich, they are not ready for the arrival of new threats from Bundesliga clubs who can pull Bayern Munich from the top of the standings at any time.

Yes, that's why Vincent Kompany accepted the offer from Bayern Munich and accepted all the risks. Bayern Munich is a big club in the Bundesliga and has dominated the league for years. Of course, the top brass wants high expectations for the coach and Vincent Kompany tries his best so that his club continues to perform well in the future. So far, Bayern Munich has won 2 matches in a row, even other rivals such as Leverkusen and Dortmund have drawn at the beginning of this season. With this result, of course, Bayern's top brass are not satisfied if it is not until the end of the season we also do not know in the next matches whether Bayern Munich remains consistent and wonders how Vincent Kompany provides his best strategy.

It's funny, but the odds for Bayern and Bayer are currently equal to the odds for the Real Madrid - Barcelona pair:

Fc Bayern Munich - 1.50

Bayer 04 Leverkusen - 3.40

The only difference in my opinion is that in this pair the odds are such because Bayer is not considered a strong enough team, and in the other pair it is because Real is considered a superpower against any opponent.

[pawel7777]

Bayern's next game is as easy as it gets: Holsten Kiel. HK got promoted to the Bundesliga this season and have so far lost the first 2 games, making them a massive underdog against Bayern and I don't think home advantage would be much of a help.
The problem is, Beyern is playing an opening round against Dinamo Zagreb on Tue, the week after, so Kompany might be tempted to let some key players rest on Sat, to make sure they're 100% on Tue. But at this stage, Kompany and the club are almost definitely more focussed on winning back the Bundesliga than on the Champion's League, so I imagine they will approach Saturday's game with full seriousness and maybe if all goes to plan and if they work out more than 1 goal advantage, he'll let some bench players in earlier.
But if Bayern is also committed of getting through the group stage of the UCL, they really need to win with Zagreb, as next games will be much harder (Aston Villa, Barcelona, Benfica, PSG).

Bayern management continues to experiment with risky coaching positions such as trusting Tuchel last season and this time trusting Kompany, to be honest, looking at Kompany's history, i'm not sure he will be able to bring Bayern to the top, he is still quite young and has never won a trophy with the teams he coached before, i don't know how Bayern management sees the potential of a coach now.

Another interesting fact, Dortmund is also trying to use the services of a young coach, the trend in coaches in the Bundesliga is young coaches.

Holstein Kiel seems less ready to compete with stronger teams in the Bundesliga. Their new promotion and very surprising to their opponents so it is difficult to get opportunities. I do not expect Holstein Kiel to survive in the Bundesliga and only one season here. We can see the competition between teams in the Bundesliga is currently quite tight. If Holstein Kiel wants to compete I think it is not too late and they can try harder to face the matches after this. They must get points and try to escape from the bottom of the standings. But facing Munich in the next meeting, it will clearly not be easy for them.
