Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Iranus]

So all the title contenders (the top 5 teams from the previous season) delivered this round, except Leipzig, who, despite best efforts, couldn't score a goal against Union Berlin and had to split points by a goalless draw. They've won their first 2 games and are still in the top 3, so not a big deal.

Much needed win by Leverkusen, hopefully the 4-1 away win against Hoffenheim will restore their confidence and help them go back to their previous season form.

As expected, Bayern had no problems in earning points on Holstein-Kiel, but the home team made it very easy for Bayern, the horrible mistakes in defence they made were not what you'd expect from any Bundesliga team.

I think the top 6 of Bundesliga, apart from slight exceptions are something that you would have expected to see on the basis of the last season, and this preseason. All the big teams started well and their performances so far were not unexpected at all. well if you expected Leverkusen to win all games and not lose any, I feel sorry for you.

But from what we've seen from the top four so far, it's been really good to see how they have put up with everything in those matches. A lot of the Bayern fans and football fans in general were really questionable of Kompany, but he has done his job fairly well so far. the real tests start when Bayern plays a few UCL games, we will see how the team performs in bigger stages.

Leipzig, Dortmund, and Heidenheim have been amazing so far, and they deserve their bragging rights given how competitive the league can be, but for now, it's all about keeping consistency and performing at the highest level week in week out. Let's see if they can do that.

When Bayern Munich appointed him as manager, I knew that Bayern Munich had struck gold.
Now it's becoming very obvious that Bayern Munich made the right call by appointing Vincent Kompay.

The season is still young and lets see how they are doing when the big games coming and how he manage all when its not well going.
Winning against Holstein Kiel with 6 scored games is good but not really a surprise against such a small and new Team in the first german league.

Now Bayern Munich are playing exciting football once again and banging goals weeks after weeks.
It's important that Kompay win the trust of the fans and with the way he is going about it with his results, the fans are loving him already.

I agree that they playing an exciting and nice football for now but again this will be not always the case in the coming weeks.
If he get the fans on his side and for sure it will be easier for him and the whole club Bayern Munich.

I love it when bets are this easy, to be fair I also had a bet with Leipzig in the parlay too and one without, and to be fair even small ones for each individual game too, and aside from the Leipzig one every other bet was right. I managed to bet on Dortmund and Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, all of whom won their games. Bayern of course destroyed Holstein, there wasn't any chance that Holsteim would do fine it was clear that they were too small and Bayern didn't want to take any chances and just kept on scoring.

Leverkusen also looks like they are back on form and doing fine, they scared the fans for a minute with that loss but now they look like they are doing awesome, a 4-1 is no joke and not a lot of teams can do that. Bundesliga will definitely be a great league again this season, I am sure that we are going to see a lot of fun watching the season unravel itself and see who will fight till the end.

Good to hear your bets went well with the aforementioned winning quartet of Leipzig, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Bayern. The Bundesliga may throw up frequent surprises but there are some big teams you can almost always count on. Like Bayern Munich, who don't give Holstein Kiel any space as you mentioned. They just know how to dominate opponents, especially in games that look easier on paper. Leverkusen also seem to have found their rhythm again; a 4-1 win shows they are on the right track. This season is sure to be very interesting because the big teams are back in the mix. And with solid form, the race at the top of the table will be tight ones. The Bundesliga this season could be full of surprises and delights... especially with the big teams continuing to show their best qualities.

Leverkusen's performance against Hoffenheim was very composed. In the previous match we saw poor performances from Leverkusen's players. It's been a long time since Leverkusen lost a Bundesliga match. Leverkusen lost 3-2 against Leipzig. Leverkusen lost the match due to the weakness of their defense. And I'd say Leverkusen needed to lose this match. Leverkusen's players will be desperate for a win against Hoffenheim after losing their previous match. And in this match the boys of Leverkusen played brilliantly.

The performance of Hoffenheim players was good in this match. Hoffenheim wanted to win their home match. So Hoffenheim players played attacking from the beginning of the match. But Leverkusen's forwards and defenders both had solid performances. So Hoffenheim's players could not break Leverkusen's defense even after trying hard. If Leverkusen continues this form, Munich vs Leverkusen in the last week of this month is going to be a very competitive match.

You need to be on your best if you hope to beat the best in Bundesliga and Hoffenheim were reminded why Bayer Leverkusen were able to win the league last season with their composed pattern of play, their ruthless attacks and their unending desire for goals. I liked what I saw from Xabi Alonso's boys and I expect to see more of them when they pair against bigger sides so it won't look like they excel when they meet small teams.

Leverkusen is a club that surprised everyone last season because of their outstanding performance which they displayed and it was with the help of Xabi Alonso that brought success to them. I still see them being able to win big teams in their domestic league but I cannot say about UCL.

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

You are right. If Leverkusen want to be Bundesliga champions again, they will have to be at their best. Because Bayern Munich, one of the rivals for the Bundesliga title, is in good form this season. Also the performance of the Leipzig team is very good this season. Dortmund's players are also playing well now. So Leverkusen's players must perform better if they want to occupy the top spot in the table.

Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso is very talented. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season with the help of Alonso. The Leverkusen coach was able to find out the weaknesses of his squad in the match against Leipzig this season. And Alonso has managed to minimize the problems within his squad to a great extent. And that's why we saw a packed performance from Leverkusen's players against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen will face Feyenoord in the Champions League in a few days. This match is very important for Leverkusen. But the Feyenoord team is also strong enough. It will not be easy for Leverkusen to win this away match.

Basically Hoffenheim is not a strong team like Leipzig, so even though Hoffenheim played at home, Hoffenheim also had no chance of winning, because the odds in the match also proved that Bayer Leverkusen was highly favored to win. True enough, because Bayer Leverkusen also managed to win with a big score even though they did not win with clean sheets, but the victory with a score of 1-4 was still a very good result for Bayer Leverkusen.

Although indeed, Bayer Leverkusen has experienced one defeat and unlike last season which managed to end the season without defeat. But even so, of course Bayer Leverkusen still has a chance to compete with Bayern Munich in the fight for the title this season. But indeed, about the match between Bayern Munich v Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend this month, it is clear that it will be a very interesting match, considering that last season Bayern Munich was really unable to beat Bayer Leverkusen. Perhaps, this match will also prove whether Kompany will still succeed in making Bayern Munich get points, or maybe lose, it will certainly be interesting to look forward to.

[Marvell1]

Anyone who is interest in this game will understand the perform of Bayern Munich as they are a strong and well perform team. And they win most of the matches and if they lose a match they play better than before in the next matches and they have shown a lot of speed in this match.   Yes it is but they should have shown some perform. If they continue to play like this they will become even weak. Yes it may be that they will think that they were not good in the first season and will not be again. This misconception led them to defeat.

A victory with a fairly large score for Bayern Munich at their opponent's home is something to note even though it is a very weak opponent because Holstein Kiel is a promoted team in the Bundesliga this season which generally does not have the strength that is equal to Bayern Munich. And for the next match in the Champions League, Bayern Munich must also be able to win because there all teams will always do their best to win, but because the opponent that Bayern Munich will face will not be difficult enough, of course I have confidence that Bayern Munich can still win again in the next match in the UCL competition.

I don't get what you are expecting from Bayern even after they have won three games and scored so many goals. What do you exactly mean by

but they should have shown some perform. If they continue to play like this they will become even weak

- like that's some level of assumption right there. I believe Vincent Kompany had a great start to the season, and it does not matter who you are facing, if you are winning, you're good.

But yes, a lot is still left to see from the in-form Bayern team. And the main test for Kompany will be going into the UCL with this team and keeping the consistency of the team because the level of play needs to be on top if they want to start well in the UCL and go to the knockout stages, and if they can't, Kompany will have to face a lot of pointed fingers at him.

[rahmad2nd]

Leverkusen is a club that surprised everyone last season because of their outstanding performance which they displayed and it was with the help of Xabi Alonso that brought success to them. I still see them being able to win big teams in their domestic league but I cannot say about UCL.

Leverkusen under the guidance of Xabi Alonso has performed very well. I am sure that last season neither the club nor Alonso targeted to win the Bundesliga, but as the competition progressed, playing match after match with victory, in the end they worked hard to try to break the dominance of the German League giants. as we know, they were able to make it happen. in the Champions League, although it can be said that there are many strong teams, especially with the new format. but I am quite sure, their determination and desire to play as well as possible are very great. at least, they will try to qualify in the group phase.

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

In the match against Hoffenheim, the squad coached by Xabi Alonso was able to return to winning ways, overall they performed well. so did Boniface, he started to score goals again. although, we know their opponent team is not a very tough team. however, returning to winning ways is part of their progress and plan in this competition. besides that Alonso knows very well that he will always correct his team, especially if their performance is not playing well.
IMO, repeating the success of winning the Bundesliga trophy seems quite difficult to achieve.

When Bayern Munich appointed him as manager, I knew that Bayern Munich had struck gold.
Now it's becoming very obvious that Bayern Munich made the right call by appointing Vincent Kompay.

The season is still young and lets see how they are doing when the big games coming and how he manage all when its not well going.
Winning against Holstein Kiel with 6 scored games is good but not really a surprise against such a small and new Team in the first german league.

Yeah, the number of goals scored by Bayern Munich is fantastic but it is true that a victory against a team such Holstein Kiel is not something to celibate about.
Bayern Munich totally dominated that game that they even scored a goal since the beginning and added the second before even 10 minutes pass in that match.
Later, Kane added more goals and scored a hattrick.
Bayern Munich is leading the ranking with two points difference from the others and 3 points in front of Bayer Leverkusen. It is good but we are still in the first rounds and more serious games will come later.

[Salahmu]

Kompay is a very good coach, it was just unfortunate that he found himself in a team that didn't have what it takes to compete in the premier league last season. When they were still in the championship and playing with teams with same calibre he proved himself and won promotion for the first time of asking.

I have seen the reason Kompany was unable to reform Burnley because the club has gone way poor in performance for him to build to the extend the management expected, however it is funny that it was even through the poor performance of Burnley that made people to see Kompany as an inexperienced coach that has no ability in leading Bayern Munich towards achieving a trophy but just like they said time proves everything and look at how he has been doing since he joined the club, actually with this I'm very confident that after finishing his contract with Bayern Munich he will become one of the most important coach and he would be seen differently.

Imagine what they did to Holstein yesterday, they tackled the club from the beginning to end without given them any opportunity to perform and Harry Kane was even the man of match for Bayern Munich including his hard trick, he has not change a bit, he is always as good as he use to be.

It is very unlikely that Xabi Alonso or Leverkusen last season did not target to become champions in any league they participated in, I think it makes no sense if the goal is just to play, surely every team that enters a competition is to pursue becoming champions, every season changes every team prepares itself to become stronger, not having a goal is a ridiculous thing that I hear.

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

Honestly, if you look at the match when facing Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen played quite well and even took the lead first, it's just that in the 80th minute they were conceded by Leipzig and the score became 3-2, after that Leipzig made a stronger defense and maintained their advantage, but in that match Leipzig had a very good performance from Leipzig

Despite the fact that they have broken their unbeaten record by Leipzig this season, it does not mean that they have lost form but it will be a wake up message for them to improve their performance if they want to win the league this season.

What Leverkusen did last season is a very difficult thing to repeat both by Leverkusen again or other teams in the Bundesliga today, Leverkusen unbeaten record which lasted from last season or almost 462 days is quite impressive because of the status of Leverkusen which was indeed not a big team previously in bundesliga, after a long time of endure, but Leipzig was surprisingly able to break the record.
This season Leverkusen will play in the Champions League and I think it will be a very big challenge for Alonso at the moment, the failure in the Europa League last season will certainly be a lesson for Alonso this season to start their new adventure in the Champions League first time as coach.
Speaking of Leipzig, of course the victory over Leverkusen does not mean that they deserve to be considered as the favorites to win this season, as well as the first defeat obtained by Leverkusen this season which will not make them out of the status of the team as the favorite to win this season, what happened to Leverkusen this season shows if the top teams of the Bundesliga have had a good balance in their squad, so maybe that we will see More competitive competition this season in the title race.

[bangjoe]

Leipzig was quite overwhelmed against Union Berlin, I was a little upset because previously Leipzig was able to beat Bayer Leverkusen but it was very difficult to beat Union Berlin in the match, even though overall the match Leipzig dominated the ball very well, it's just that the opportunities that are obtained do not produce goals at all, Union Belin focuses on defense and makes its defense very difficult to penetrate.

Union Berlin has also been forthcoming in holding Leipzig tight when they played in their previous fixtures. Analyzing from the last five games both clubs had fixtured each other, Union Berlin had won 3 times over Leipzig home and away combined while Leipzig won twice of the fixtures which are found in the most recent games. This suggests that both clubs are working on understanding their patterns with Leipzig improving more on the performance of their games. What caused the draw in this match was not far fetched from the lack of efforts made by the strikers which made the offensive side more weak and struggled to convert their opportunities to goals.

Leipzig managed to win over Leverkusen last week because they implemented a defensive strategy and relied on quick counterattacks, they knew Xabi Alonso squad played aggressively and attacked too much, leaving their defense more open. The same strategy will not be effective when facing a team that implements the same strategy, as proven by both teams being unable to penetrate the opponent defense. While the head to head record could have other influences, what is clear is that Leipzig victory last week was more based on luck. Union Berlin is actually trying to rise, after last season slump and almost being relegated. A draw is actually quite fair for both teams, because both teams were unable to score goals. Indeed, in terms of ball possession, Leipzig is more dominant, but in terms of scoring opportunities both only collected 3 opportunities.

Your view is correct, if you look at the strategy used, Leipzig really played a fast counter-attacking game because that was their chance to get a win from Bayer Leverkusen, but I don't agree that the victory was lucky, I agree more that they deserved to win because they had the idea to get a win from Bayer Leverkusen.

Yes, Union Berlin were almost eliminated from the Bundesliga last season, they had a very significant decline and finally survived, they should have corrected their mistakes in the past, and they learned how they can survive Leipzig in yesterday's match, a draw is better than defeat.

[Egii Nna]

Later, Kane added more goals and scored a hattrick.
Bayern Munich is leading the ranking with two points difference from the others and 3 points in front of Bayer Leverkusen. It is good but we are still in the first rounds and more serious games will come later.

Bayern Munich really tried in their game yesterday to score up to six goals, even though we know that one of the six is an own goal. They are now at the top of the table, even though a lot of games are still coming. I know they will try their best because they are normally the well-known winners of the Bundesliga, and I think that is what they want to achieve this season. That is why they are playing with a nice and good performance.
 
More over, even though it is the beginning of the league this season, there is still an interval between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen because Bayern Munich are the first in the table and Bayer Leverkusen are the 5th in the table, even though there is only an interval of 3 points between them.

[EarnOnVictor]

What differentiates a club that's for a winning mentality from the others is their ability to get back up when they fall and that was the case for Bayer Leverkusen. Infact the scoreline I saw yesterday wasn't surprising as thats their stock in trade and I hope to see more from them. As it is Bayern Munich are back to contending for the title and not just them but others as well and this means more competition so they need to continue the way they did last season if they hope to repeat the action of lifting the trophy.

What's happening with Leverkusen was my fear before the beginning of this season, it's not really bad yet but if Bayern gaps it more, it can't regain it, mark my word. These underdog clubs do not often replicate the success, it's often as if they were injected with adrenaline when they win big but wears off over time. It happened with Leicester City in the EPL, and Napoli in the Serie A, why can't it happen with Leverkusen in Bundesliga? The fear is worth it.

With the 3 points away from Bayern, Leverkusen is losing it gradually and beating Hoffenheim is nothing to me because it's obvious they were many times better than the club, it's when they face tougher clubs that we will be able to effectively judge their current standing which would also couple with more matches of random challenges faced over time. But I doubt if Leverkusen will lift the trophy this season.

[Majestic-milf]

You are right. If Leverkusen want to be Bundesliga champions again, they will have to be at their best. Because Bayern Munich, one of the rivals for the Bundesliga title, is in good form this season. Also the performance of the Leipzig team is very good this season. Dortmund's players are also playing well now. So Leverkusen's players must perform better if they want to occupy the top spot in the table.

Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso is very talented. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season with the help of Alonso. The Leverkusen coach was able to find out the weaknesses of his squad in the match against Leipzig this season. And Alonso has managed to minimize the problems within his squad to a great extent. And that's why we saw a packed performance from Leverkusen's players against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen will face Feyenoord in the Champions League in a few days. This match is very important for Leverkusen. But the Feyenoord team is also strong enough. It will not be easy for Leverkusen to win this away match.

There are contenders fro the title now no doubt but I think Xabi Alonso who was able to win last season despite the fact that these teams you mentioned were on their above average best so I feel he can still do it again. Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany are on fire but let's see for how long they can hold up. When the going gets tough is when we'd know who is indeed deserving of lifting the trophy this season.

[GiftedMAN]

Kompay is a very good coach, it was just unfortunate that he found himself in a team that didn't have what it takes to compete in the premier league last season. When they were still in the championship and playing with teams with same calibre he proved himself and won promotion for the first time of asking.

Imagine what they did to Holstein yesterday, they tackled the club from the beginning to end without given them any opportunity to perform and Harry Kane was even the man of match for Bayern Munich including his hard trick, he has not change a bit, he is always as good as he use to be.

I think the squad in the Bayern Munich team can not be compared to that of Holstein, if you watched the game you will observe that the away team has a lot of average players which is not up to the standard of the players in the Bayern Munich team so the result is always expected to go in favour of Bayern Munich because they have the better team.

Bayern Munich showed high Level of superiority against Holstein trashing them to prove that they are the better team I think the score line may not have been expected but the win was expected because Bayern Munich is the better team.

Harry Kane was instrumental in the team helping them to get an easy win and scoring his first hat- trick of the season to keep his goal record to 49 in 49 games played for Bayern Munich.

[Fuso.hp]

But if anyone is saying that Brussia Dortmund is better than Bayer Leverkusen such a person is absolutely not making a wrong claims. The only arguments you guys are making here in favour of Bayer Leverkusen is their last season's unbeaten campaign which culminated to their winning the Bundlesliga title  whereas Brussia Dortmund has consistently been in a top outstanding form in all seasons for the past one decade both in the Bundlesliga and champions league competition's.  

For this current season we don't know for sure how far Bayer Leverkusen will go in maintaining their performance especially in the champions league and even in the Bundesliga but am quite sure that Brussia Dortmund as usual will make it far than Xabi Alonso and his boys this time in all competition's.

I don't see much chance for Leverkusen to win the title this season. This team did great last season and they went undefeated to win the local league title but this season is definitely tough for them. Bayern Munich have played two matches so far this season where they have earned full points in both matches. Leverkusen, on the other hand, have played two matches but lost one, meaning they are currently 3 points behind Bayern Munich. If we compare the performance of Leverkusen with Dortmund then we must put Bayern Munich ahead in the performance of the first two matches because they have not lost any of the two matches, they have won one match and they have drawn one match.

Whether Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga title is not possible so quickly. Bayern Munich have won their first two matches. However, Munich's performance in the first match against Wolfsburg was not good. Several weaknesses in Munich's squad are still quite visible. Leverkusen, on the other hand, lost against Leipzig. However, the teams have barely played two matches each. There is still a long journey ahead. Therefore, it is not yet possible to say for sure which team will be the Bundesliga champions.

I think if Kompany's target is just to dominate the Bundesliga then maybe Munich can win the Bundesliga title. However, if the KOmpany tries to dominate the Champions League and Bundesliga at the same time, it will be difficult for Munich to maintain the consistency of good performances.

There is not much difference between the teams that are in the Bundesliga and the teams that are placed as favourites. There is no way to say that Bayern Munich's performance is much better than any other team because I still see some obvious weaknesses in Bayern Munich's defense and finishing positions. There is no doubt why Harry is a great finisher but he is not getting good ball supply from midfield or from left or right wing positions due to which he is not able to finish well. If the defense midfield and finishing positions are not better then a doubt will remain about Bayern Munich winning the title this season.

[Weawant]

There are contenders fro the title now no doubt but I think Xabi Alonso who was able to win last season despite the fact that these teams you mentioned were on their above average best so I feel he can still do it again. Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany are on fire but let's see for how long they can hold up. When the going gets tough is when we'd know who is indeed deserving of lifting the trophy this season.

Actually xabi may not have too many challenges with replicating the results he got at the end of last season but the challenge will fall back to trying to replicate the records, the team that are present now wee actually present when he did all he did last season, the difference now is going to be in that there's a new and different realization than there was last season when they are dealing with Leverkusen, least season, most team may have been seeing them as a weak or probably average team and that was an advantage for them but now they are definitely seeing them as an A-lister team and wouldn't compromise any Chance against them so for Leverkusen it's more challenge.
