Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Ndabagi01]

Bayer Leverkusen is one of the clubs that opponents fear in the Bundesliga. Not all clubs can beat Laverkusen easily because they were at the top of the standings last year with good performance. It would be really good, as you said, that Laverkusen should add several senior players and star players, especially strikers and defensive midfielders, so that they can be more confident of winning this season.

I don’t see anything wrong with this squad and they can still fo wondrous things also this season. Adding more senior players to the team will really help them but I don’t think it’s a necessity now that the league have started and they started on a good course. Bayern Leverkusen still remains one of the strong contender for the Bundesliga title this season and without putting that great performance together, they will not be able to keep that consistency of wining the league again. Many clubs should fear them but i don’t think they’ll get it easier as they did last season. The league just started but they can’t keep the unbeaten streak this season after losing their most recent match, that shows how tough this season is going to be for them.

Bayer Leverkusen is one of the few clubs that I have come to respect lately. Their level of optimism and strong teamwork is one thing that has risen the club up to the position they reached last season. What I encourage them to do is to make the team more strong by adding more talented players into the club. If I was the manager, What I think I will do is to purchase a senior and star player.

That's right. Indeed, Leverkusen will remain a strong team in the Bundesliga even though they lost in front of their own supporters in their last match. Because as usual, maintaining an unbeaten record is very difficult, and it is true that the record that was maintained for so long finally lost to Leipzig and this was the first defeat in the Bundesliga after a long time unbeaten, plus at home too.

And usually again, once you lose, you will experience another defeat. Because often it will affect the mentality of the players. The confidence of Leverkusen players will be slightly disturbed plus other teams have also begun to be able to read Leverkusen's weaknesses.
So I agree with your opinion, if Leverkusen really wants to defend their title, they must recruit some experienced players and star players, especially since their focus is also on the UCL league.

[Zaguru12]

Actually this game presents them with an opportunity to get to the top of the table and this is a seeming chance to probably stay in the title race if they can add up consistency from that point, the black and yellow team is known for their proficiency in grooming of quality players,  so I'm believing amongst them now is one player who's going to be of a great performance and help them a whole lot, I see that they were also active in the transfer window and it appears they are aiming for something really huge this season particularly to win the league title possibly, that will most likely be seen in their performances, I'm very optimistic about what dortmund will be able to get in this game.

If you’re going to predict on any top team in the league it shouldn’t be Dortmund, they are the most inconsistent club of recent times when it comes to the league football. How many times have them be presented with wining the league and they ended up not winning. This game against Heidenheim is a very tricky game to me, the Heidenheim team have been excellent since their promotion last season and I think they are building a strong foundation on that, they are on top of the league table with a goal difference it might be way too soon to actually put them up for the title race but they are definitely up there for the European places. This was how Leipzig started and now a team to reckon with. The game will be at Signal Iduna park which should be an added advantage for Dortmund but I have seen clubs take points off them at the stadium so i wouldn’t raise my hope high for them

It would be really good, as you said, that Laverkusen should add several senior players and star players, especially strikers and defensive midfielders, so that they can be more confident of winning this season.

Even though Bayern Leverkusen lost some of their matches, they are unable to keep the same energy as last season. I don’t think it is necessary for Bayern Leverkusen to add another senior player to them. They are still strong and one of the biggest and most competitive teams in the Bundesliga this season. Bayern Leverkusen will obviously face a tough season this season,

even if they will be the winner of the title at the end, but the season just got started; we can’t conclude on that, but to me, Bayer Leverkusen's still strong squad is not compulsory; they should add other senior players, as you said.

Although I know that it will help them in one way or another, I believe they can still go to the top with the same squad they are currently playing; they don't have a have a weak position; they are still competitive like last season, so as it is now, Bayer Leverkusen did not necessarily need any other players to join them before they made things possible for themselves. The coach knows that the current squad can still do it.

Before the rain of Bayer Leverkusen started, it has always been Bayern Munich and after mentioning Bayern Munich the next club that will hit the mind is Dortmund. We have long expected that month to at least for one season take Bayern Munich by surprise and lift the Bundesliga title, but we all waited to no avail. At a point it seems that Union Berlin wanted to do something surprising but they fell short on the way. Even when we thought that all hope Is lost, we really have made up our mind to continue with the monopolized league, from nowhere came Xavi Alonso and his boys and released the whole German league from the hackles of Bayern Munich dominance.

It does not necessarily mean that Dortmund do not have good players. They actually produce the finest footballers every season but they do not keep them for more than a season or two. They delight in business than winning trophies. So you trust that kind of club at your own peril. Even if they should occupy the first position of the German Bundesliga table till the middle of this season, I will still not trust them because I know they cannot do anything. I am still believing Bayern Leverkusen to be the ones to give Bayern Munich the fight that they need in this season.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

As I said before at the start of this season, people expected to see a perfect performance from Leverkusen during this season even if they make one mistake that's not right because the Leverkusen fans think they should still stay unbeaten and they should still win the Bundesliga title while even a great team like Leverkusen can sometimes be made mistake and lose points but this is not a reason to say they are weak.

On the contrary, I think adding the so called star players would reduce the team efficiency by creating over dependence on those respected players. They have a good squad and I'll love them to keep on keeping up. Alonso is really doing a marvelous job with the boys. I think they're good to go. They did very well last season and I believe they can do really better this season. Over squad destroys a team and I don't want it to be the case with Leverkusen

Talking about adding more senior players, is it by age or by experience, I don't know which amongst the both you mean but if it's by agree then I can assure you it's not going to help them well enough as you may rather be putting, where they will get the most helpful would be with young players, I even think it's much better maintaining the team as it was last season that they got all they did vet than trying to remodel the team and end up loosing vital players or scattering the pattern that has already been created. They can do much better with their patterns than they would with the introduction of newer faces who will need more time to adapt.

Bayern Munich and Leipzig have won their first two matches. They have been able to perform very well in both the matches. But I had higher expectations from Stuttgart this season. This team performed brilliantly in the last season. And Stuttgart have done their best this season to strengthen their squad. But even then this team failed to win both matches. They lost against Freiburg and shared the points with Mainz. Due to weak defense, Stuttgart lost points in both matches. But I will say that this team will make a comeback very quickly.

On the other hand, the Leverkusen team lost against Leipzig in the last match. Leverkusen suffered defeat in the Bundesliga after perhaps a year and a half. This group is also quite strong. With Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Dortmund and Leipzig fighting for the title this season, the season will be more competitive. Dominating the Bundesliga will be more difficult for Bayern Munich.

I think the single-handed domination of Bayern Munich in the league is long gone. It finished pretty marginally last year, and I don't think it's making a return anytime soon. Now the other clubs are much more aware, more calculative, and more determined to win the Bundesliga title.

I think Bayern had a decent start and Vincent Kompany's men would like to show that they are the best team in all of Germany, and they are not gone. I think Kompany himself was doubted a lot, and he would like to answer on all the criticisms by winning games on the pitch. I really want to see this from Bayern.

Leipzig deserves their praises for having a strong start to the season, by also taking down the mighty Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer was consistent in not losing league games until then. I think Leipzig always has a talented squad, and they deserve to win more games and challenge the title.
Stuttgart is still hopeful of being stronger this season, and I think they will. A lot of teams start the season slow, but the quality emerges and they answer strongly later. Sebastian Hoeneß will ensure that hopefully. Bundesliga this season should be great.

It is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand to dominate the Bundesliga again, Bayern Munich will face more challenges this season, because most likely the competition for the trophy will not only occur between them and Leverkusen. Leipzig surprisingly managed to break Leverkusen's unbeaten trend, this is a signal that there are other teams that also have the ability to disrupt the competition. I even hope Dortmund and Stuttgart can be directly involved in the intended competition, so that this season Bundesliga runs more competitively than previous seasons. Meanwhile, although many doubt Kompany, the fact is that the former Burnley manager has the best squad depth in the Bundesliga at this time, so that it can help make his job easier. Kompany is used to facing big teams in the Premier League, which we know is much more competitive. In my opinion, it is more appropriate to doubt Kompany when Bayern Munich plays in the Champions League, because this season is his first experience.

[beerlover]

After Xabi Alonso successfully led Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal trophies, all teams now respect them and there is no longer the word "Neverkusen". Last week their unbeaten record in domestic competition was stopped by Leipzig, it was surprising and in reality it is not easy to continue to maintain the record. However, considering the journey is still very long, Leverkusen still has the potential to be able to defend the trophy this season, even though we currently know Bayern Munchen is more consistent. I predict Leverkusen will be able to rise in the next match, Xabi Alonso cool hand seems to still work well.

Meanwhile, the challenges faced by Xabi Alonso this season are certainly much tougher, because they will play in the Champions League, their journey there will certainly be very different from the Europa League last season. Xabi Alonso managerial quality will really be tested this season, to prove that their success last season was not just luck. With almost the same squad depth, Leverkusen will clearly be taken into account in any competition.

When other teams take you seriously, they play differently and that is why it makes it so hard to be a team like Bayern who dominates for a decade, because normally they all try to beat you, whereas they play each other more comfortably.

Leverkusen is learning that, there is a reason why certain teams end up winning the league all the time, why Bayern did it, why PSG is doing it and City is now doing it and why Real Madrid and Barcelona does it, because these teams are richer and bigger than every other club and even if they have a few bad seasons, they will have the means to recover. Teams like Leverkusen do not have that means, they can do great for one year, but the moment they become bad, they will be gone. Like Lille in France, or Leicester in England.

The league just started but they can’t keep the unbeaten streak this season after losing their most recent match, that shows how tough this season is going to be for them.

Exactly Leverkusen became a feared team after they managed to become champions last season, because previously they could only compete in the middle or slightly better and even they were once in a very bad situation when they had to fight to get away from the relegation zone. Now their task is to maintain their performance last season, because in my opinion maintaining is much more difficult than starting something, proven now they have experienced defeat at the beginning of this season. They lost to Leipzig in the Bundesliga and that was their first defeat this season after last season they were able to record a record without defeat. I hope Xabi and the players in Leverkusen can show an impressive game again and start their victory again.

Most of Leverkusen's mainstay players last season are still maintained in the Leverkusen team, only adding a few new faces like other top clubs so that they can continue to compete strongly in the Bundesliga, adding a few new faces sometimes does not always have a positive impact but there is nothing wrong if they continue to try because maintaining consistency without experiencing defeat like last season is not an easy thing, getting 1 defeat is not the end of everything Leverkusen still has plenty of time to be able to compete in the Bundesliga title hunt.

I think Leverkusen's defeat in the previous match is understandable because the opponent they faced was one of the tough clubs in the Bundesliga but in the next match against Hoffeinheim I predict Leverkusen will win.

Bayer Leverkusen is an upcoming team with low experience and also low financial stability, so you can compare them with teams like Bayern Munich, PSG, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. This team is far more better than Bayer Leverkusen. So it will not be a small challenge for Xavi Alonso this season because the Champions League is not that easy compared to the Europe League; moreover, even last season that they played an unbeaten season, they ended up losing the trophy against Atalanta. I know Xavi Alonso will try his best, but it will not be easy for them to face these challenges, but at least I know they will try their possible best to see they do something tangible in the season.

If you’re going to predict on any top team in the league it shouldn’t be Dortmund, they are the most inconsistent club of recent times when it comes to the league football.
How many times have them be presented with wining the league and they ended up not winning.

Its true that that there was a lot of games in the past season or years that Dortmund was the favorite of the game and they played a draw or lost.
But there was also other teams like Bayern Munich and Leipzig that happend this also.

This game against Heidenheim is a very tricky game to me,
The game will be at Signal Iduna park which should be an added advantage for Dortmund but I have seen clubs take points off them at the stadium so i wouldn’t raise my hope high for them

I also agree that sometimes it means nothing for other teams to play at Dortmund , but its mostly a big advantage when Dortmund is playing at home.
Even HEidenheim has played there 2 games really good and won i will place my bet on Dortmund for that match to win.

Leverkusen had last year a heck of a season. But repeating that success ain't gonna be easy Right now the Bundesliga is a dogfight. Teams are coming for blood; they have studied Leverkusen's blueprint and are eager to win

That loss in Leipzig is really significant  Leverkusen cannot depend only on the same old tricks. They have to grow, change, become inventive. Perhaps it's time to rotate the team and add some fresh ideas and vitality. I'm not suggesting you abandon the core, but a few deliberate additions might make all the difference

Leverkusen has quality; they have the basis. They cannot afford to become comfortable, though. They must be driven and proactive, also hungry. Though history now, last season was fantastic. It's time to rise, be creative, and demonstrate they are here to stay

Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso last season, he has been quite successful in lifting the performance of this team with all the limitations that exist so that I think that there is indeed a match between the players and the tactics applied by Xabi Alonso so that they can display good performance.

For this season, it is also not much different compared to last season because Xabi Alonso did not make many changes, but regarding whether or not Leverkusen will be able to defend the title, I think it is regardless because Bayern Munich has also improved its performance and also several other top Bundesliga teams that are increasingly developing so that the competition for the title will be even fiercer.

And for the defeat experienced by Leverkusen last week, I think it will not be significant, in fact, the defeat could be a benchmark for Leverkusen to build its team much better in the future.

Everyone acknowledges how Xabi last season was able to bring Leverkusen to break the latest record throughout the season. But this season it seems like it will not be easy to maintain the unbeaten record. Even bookmakers favor Bayern Munich as the holder of the Bundesliga title this season because the performance of several other teams such as Dortmund and Munich is increasing. So Leverkusen will have difficulty in winning the title again this season and my prediction is that Bayern Munich will return to win the bundesliga title after losing dominance last season. There is no other choice but to fight for the runner up that Xabi must pursue.

The league just started but they can’t keep the unbeaten streak this season after losing their most recent match, that shows how tough this season is going to be for them.

This season, of course the competition is getting tougher and Bayer Leverkusen is impossible to show the same results as the record in the previous season, the teams that previously experienced a setback would definitely make improvements to the squad to be better and become a heavy competitor again, so this is very Naturally, especially this is a season that is still early for us to watch.

In another perspective, we don't know what Xabi Alonso planned with Bayer Leverkusen, whether he was testing a new strategy or what, because the previous season must have been predictable to be easily defeated, adding senior players or stars might be done But I think they are not ready with salaries that must be given with a large risk, because not necessarily also adding new experienced players will make them much better if they are not accompanied by the strategy needs made by the coach.

Ever since Leverkusen lost in the Europa League final, they have been constantly conceding a lot of goals and that is not a good sign. Most teams that become champions do so because they have a good defense, and at the end of the league they have not conceded more than 25 goals. In many cases they even end up conceding less than 10 goals. But look at Leverkusen:

1 - In all the friendly matches they have conceded a goal

2 - They have played 2 games in the Bundesliga, conceding at least 2 goals in each game

3 - They have only signed 1 defender this season: Jeanuël Belocian

https://www.transfermarkt.pt/bayer-04-leverkusen/startseite/verein/15

In just 2 games they conceded 5 goals. This number of goals conceded should be at least 10 or 15 games, normally for a team that is a candidate for the title. By this I mean that the Leverkusen coach has reason to be worried, because it is possible that they will not even finish in the 3rd position. This weak defense will also be a problem in European competitions.

[rendravolt]

Anyway, I still can't believe the draw that Stuttgart got last week because they could have actually secured the win but unfortunately a mistake at the end of the match ruined it all. It really doesn't make sense where what was initially leading by 2 goals was immediately equalized by Mainz and not long after Stuttgart took the lead again but once again it seems that Stuttgart really made a fatal mistake.

I bet on this match and that's why I was quite emotional when I saw their game especially the defense that was easily penetrated by the away team was very inappropriate. Now I'm starting to be wary of betting on Stuttgart again and in the next match they will face Gladbach and of course this is a difficult match to predict considering Gladbach always presents surprises for anyone they will face. On the other hand, I am also increasingly doubtful that Stuttgart can compete again at the top and it will be an unexpected decline.

There is no other choice but to fight for the runner up that Xabi must pursue.

Yes, Xabi Alonso's arrival at Leverkusen has had quite a significant impact. He was able to bring the club that was less favored last season to become undefeated and seize the throne of Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga is getting more competitive with the presence of new competitors. This season, Leverkusen could retain the trophy, although as you said it will be difficult because we all know that other competing clubs are also not sitting still with a number of new ammunition and the competition looks increasingly tight. Bayern Munich is no exception, they have shown good development under their new coach. The bookies provide opportunities according to the progress shown by each club. so it is natural that Munich is favored in this case. But it is still too early to judge all that, this is only week 2, the journey is still long. surprising things are still hidden ahead. It could be that Leverkusen and Munich are not the ones lifting the trophy this season. this is still a mystery, we just enjoy it.
