Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[GiftedMAN]

I also agree with you that Bayern has the higher chance of winning the league than Leverkusen because Bayern players are to smart, sharp and very fast in attacking and you will see how desperate they are to score goals. Leverkusen showed that they prefer to draw the match instead of losing since they saw the pressure of Bayern on them. Bayern has more quality players than Leverkusen which is a good advantage foe them to be better than Leverkusen. I don't see Bayern losing any of their matches soon.

Leverkusen want to use the strategy and technique they used last season and because it did worked for them last season and they won the league title with an unbeaten record along side, they are believing they can achieve same this season even if it's without the unbeaten record, I'm saying this because like you rightly mentioned, in the game against Munich it was obvious they were playing for a draw and it they didn't mind if they don't win, maybe they are looking at drawing with the bigger teams who may pose some threat and win the smaller teams, that way they may be able to accumulate points enough to get to the top but if they continue with the draw mentality, they are most likely not going to win the league title again, maybe they could just finish at the third or second position on the table by the end of the season.

Even if that is likely their strategy in that game and what they want to apply this season, but best approach to that match is as they drew the gam., Bayern Munich isn't a small team, let alone when the game was hosted on Bayern Munich home soil, if Alonso could go back to its drawing board, base on what they last season and even add some spice to their playing tactics, they will definitely bounce back to form and back to topping the Bundesliga table once again.

If Xabi Alonso decides to stick to a particular playing strategy because of it worked for his team last season I don't think there is something bad about it because watching the performance of Bayer Leverkusen last season I enjoyed their performance and the their strategies helped them to win the league without being defeated.

The performance of Bayer Leverkusen against Bayern Munich wasn't bad and despite Bayern Munich dominating the game more but Leverkusen still performed well and took their opportunity to score the first goal. Bayern Munich is currently in a better form than Bayer Leverkusen this season but Xabi Alonso was smart to have advised his team to defend when the opponent equalized the goal which is a good decision, Bayer Leverkusen is doing bad and I believe they will keep getting better as times goes on.

After 5 league games, Eintracht Frankfurt are second in the German Bundesliga table with just one point behind league leaders Bayern Munich. The truth is that not many of us would've predicted such outcome at the start of the season. I'm beginning to wonder if Frankfurt will be able to maintain their current momentum and results or if they'll soon be sent back to the mid table. Do you think they'll be the dark horse in the Bundesliga this season or are you of the opinion that they don't have what it takes to finish in the top four of the league table? I'll want to know your thoughts

I was surprised at the score line by Frankfurt today, how they went from 3 goals down to winning by 4 goals is something I really couldn't phantom because I was only expecting a draw at most considering they were already loosing with such gol difference already, getting to the second position a d having Bayern Munich at the first is a very good one, it shows they have hopes of making it to top four by the end of the season, but my concern still bothers within Leverkusen, I just hope they will be able to come up to defend their title by the end of the season or in worse case a decent finish around the top four positions wouldn't be a bad idea for them.

Yes you are right Frankfurt amazing comeback win was incredible. They came back from being three goals behind to win by four. I thought they would be lucky to get tie considering how far behind they were. But Frankfurt played incredibly well and now they are in second place right behind Bayern Munich. This gives them good chance of finishing in top four. However I am also worried about Leverkusen performance. They might have trouble keeping their title. Finishing in top four would still be good result for them but Frankfurt momentum has changed everything making rest of season very interesting.

If you were talking about today's game then I wonder why you said being down by 3 goals? This match ended 2 for Holstein Kiel and 4 for Frankfurt.
Frankfurt scored first then both teams added a goal each time so 2 - 2 before Frankfurt added another two goals to win.
Frankfurt is a good team overall, sitting between the 5th and the 9th places with few exceptions. It should not be underestimated.

Xabi Alonso did not instruct his players to play more openly and instead they tended to defend more, but even so Leverkusen managed to open the scoring through Anderich but not long after Bayern Munich equalized again through Pavlovic. From what I saw the match should not have ended in a draw when Leverkusen did not defend totally because they could have scored a second goal. Defending totally made Bayern Munich more in control of the game so they could dominate.

Bayern Munich continued to attack but the finishing was still not good enough so that no additional goals were scored. Leverkusen's defense and midfield looked solid so they managed to ward off every attack that Bayern Munich tried to build.

Frankfurt is a good team overall, sitting between the 5th and the 9th places with few exceptions. It should not be underestimated.

The Frankfurt team has been in great form this season. After losing the first match of the season, Frankfurt won 4 matches in a row. In every match we saw good performances from Frankfurt players. Frankfurt's defense is a little weak, but the performance of the attacking players of this team is very good. And this is why the Frankfurt team won against Holstein Kiel.

The first half of the match was quite exciting. Both teams managed to score, and the match was tied at 1-1 at the end of the first half. But in the second half Holstein Kiel players could not make any advantage. Frankfurt's players played in full attacking strategy. And Frankfurt dominated the match in the second half.

[mammusu]

I think the first team to be relegated from the Bundesliga is Holstein Kiel.
They are a very weak team, especially their defensive line is very weak, they concede a lot of goals in their goal.

I fully agree that they for sure in the last 3 spots and my personal opinion is that they end it on the last spot.
Frankfurt played a very well game and they are on fire this season , hopefully we will see more of them.

A surprising result was today the game between Hoffenheim against Werder Bremen , but Hoffenheim got a red card in Min 18.
A lot of destroyed bets this weekend on my end.

Before the match between Holstein Kiel vs frankfurt was played I think frankfurt has been the favorites in the match, if we saw their position and form which is currently better than Holstein Kiel, those who came with great ambitions to continue the positive trend precisly do not get hard resistance from Holstein Kiel who are the home team, a 4-2 victory over Holstein Kiel has been enough to make Frankfurt at the moment to move up to the second position and put pressure on Munich with 1 point difference, if we talk about teams that will be relegated may still be too early to guess, but indeed the situation that occurs with Holstein Kiel is inevitable as one of the teams that are likely to return to play in Bundesliga 2 next season, but what is interesting in my opinion at the moment is Frankfurt who actually appear quite consistent in the league by winning consecutive victories,  They have so far only suffered a defeat to Dortmund in week one of the Bundesliga but amazingly they can rise and continue to win until week 5 at this time, of course it is quite interesting to see how consistent they are this season in the Bundesliga.

[hyudien]

The red card received by N'Soki in the 18th minute was truly a nightmare for Hoffenheim, yes because the red card they received was a very fatal factor so that they had to lose after the 3-goal advantage they got until the 12th minute. I thought Hoffenheim might win with a bigger aggregate after I finally saw the red card issued by the referee. Not long after, Bremen was able to score the first goal to reduce the position, even before the first half ended they managed to equalize the score to 3-3. In the second half, Bremen was able to turn the lead around in the first 4 minutes of the second half, and that became their winning goal. This is why what happens on the field will greatly affect the game, especially if it is a red card that makes the game unbalanced.

Early match days of Bundesliga give us signals of the title race and how it will probably go this season. Bayern Munich are returning to their usual domination, Bayer Leverkusen are losing their strength and possibly will lose their champion title to Bayern Munich in this season. Some other clubs like Frankfurt and Dortmund can make the league more exciting but they will not be strong and competitive enough to join a title race in a long run.

However these clubs like Frankfurt, Dortmund and Leipzig can create pressure on Leverkusen and kick this club out of Bundesliga top four in this season. Leverkusen are eagerly joining Champions League and wanting to show their ability there. It will potentially cause lack of focus on Bundesliga and it will many chances for other clubs in Bundesliga to take over a position in top four of Leverkusen.

Yes, the red card received by N'Soki was nightmare for Hoffenheim because it all happened in the first half which could still be said at the beginning of the match because it happened in the 18th minute, previously I was surprised by Hoffenheim appearance for the beginning of the first half which rained down attacks on Bremen and they got 3 goal very satisfactorily.
There was significant change after Hoffenheim played with 10 players, Bremen took advantage of all that to turn things around and sure enough there was very favorable condition for Bremen until they were able to gain an advantage with 4 goal scored.
Jens Stage became the most meritorious player for Bremen for this match because he created hat-trick, these were his first 3 goal after playing several Bundesliga matches in the 2024/25 season and he became the center of attention for all Bremen fans.

[tusandii]

The big match between the Bayer duo ended up only drawing 1-1 just like last season when Bayern Munich hosted Leverkusen they couldn't beat their opponents who performed consistently so overall Leverkusen's performance is actually still the same as last season they will give Bayern Munich fierce competition in the title race this season and so far they have also only experienced one defeat against Leipzig so I think it's just a coincidence so I think this time Xabi Alonso will make his men appear more focused so as not to lose opportunities and Bayern Munich will not run smoothly to be able to get the Bundesliga title.

The most competitive and exciting match of the Bundesliga took place at the Allianz Arena yesterday. There was a lot of excitement surrounding this match among football fans, many of whom were rooting for the teams they supported. However, I focused more on Bayern Munich's performance while watching this match as they led the match from all sides but ended up with a draw.

Bayer Leverkusen's R. Andrich scored a goal in the thirty-first minute to give his team the lead. However, the players of Bayern Munich did not allow them to hold this lead for long. For Munich A. Pavlovic equalized with a goal after 39 minutes. The interesting thing is that in this match both teams scored in the first half to equalize but neither team managed to score in the second half despite many efforts. English forward H. Kane, who has been excellent in his previous two matches for Bayern Munich, was completely out of sorts in this match. His team expected a little more from him but he failed to deliver.

Oddly enough, even though Bayern Munich dominated the match by 70%, they still couldn't penetrate Leverkusen's defense and they were only able to reply with 1 goal when Leverkusen scored first against them. Bayern Munich made many attacks but Leverkusen's defense was really strong and they were only able to create chances each in the first half and in the second half it wasn't that interesting because both teams couldn't score additional goals. At least this was the result that I actually expected because both clubs looked equal. Xabi Alonso really trained Leverkusen like a club that had dominated the league for years. Even Bayern Munich, which had dominated for years, was defeated by Leverkusen.

Eintracht Frankfurt started this season with a defeat to Dortmund, at that time it was hard to believe that by the fifth round they would be in second place behind Bayern, losing to them by only one point. Competition in the Bundesliga is growing, and while everyone turned their attention to the confrontation between Bayern and Bayer, Eintracht Frankfurt and Leipzig came quite close to Bayern. If we evaluate the game, it seems to me that Bayern should have won this match, they were superior to their opponent but acted somehow insecurely in the final stages, Alonso focused on defense. But Bayern holds first place, which means Kompany is doing everything right.

That was last year when Bayern was under Tuchel. Currently, it will be very hard for Leverkusen to win Bayern because Bayern is faster and sharper that Leverkusen. You saw it in their last clash as Bayern never gave Leverkusen the chance of holding the ball for long so that they can outplay Leverkusen the way they like.

I think Leverkusen only had few opportunities in that game which their first and only chance in the first half was a goal. This makes me feel that assuming Leverkusen had many opportunities just like Bayern had maybe they would have been able to score another goal. The most important thing as a strong team is to settle for a draw rather than defeat, and any strategy can be used to achieve such.

Leverkusen had anticipated this, when they come as a away team then they will implement a defensive strategy because they know Bayern Munich is very aggressive when playing at home well Leverkusen succeeded with this strategy and got one point. This draw will open up opportunities for Leverkusen to continue to catch up 3 points behind is not impossible, right? It will be very interesting to see how these two teams fare at the end of the season and I can't predict who will win the title this season.

Among the other teams Hoffenheim is the one that caught my attention, last season they finished in 7th place and got a ticket to the Europa League but for this season Hoffenheim is in 16th position or in the relegation zone, Hoffenheim suffers 4 consecutive defeats and only win once. we don't understand what's happening, but it's definitely strange.

I think you mean Werder Bremen. Because Frankfurt won 4-2 and they did not fall behind by 3 goals in the match. However, in the match between Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim, Werder came from 3-0 down and won the match 4-3. We watched 6 goals in the first half and I think this was one of the matches with the most goals scored in the first half in Bundesliga history.

Bundesliga have been conquered by the Germany giant, we formerly referred to Bayern Munich because they have climbed greater heights over the decades and have maintained absolute consistency in winning games. Bayern Munich have dominated the entire league, they're currently top and we know what it means. They're thrashing oppositions without hesitation and time, winning the Bundesliga title is ultimate priority. As for Bayer Leverkusen securing draw points, Xabi Alonso was confident of grabbing a point when he shook hands with Vincent Kompany. There's whole lot happening against these elite clubs. What were the expectations of Bayer Leverkusen when they visited Allianz Arena previous weekend?

Frankfurt scored first then both teams added a goal each time so 2 - 2 before Frankfurt added another two goals to win.
Frankfurt is a good team overall, sitting between the 5th and the 9th places with few exceptions. It should not be underestimated.

Frankfurt is generally a good team. They won their last match by four goals. They have the image of a team that has been pushing for the top ranks in the German league recently. They are also one of the strong teams in the Europa League. Although they were leading 3-1 in the first match of the Europa League, they tied the match with two goals they conceded in the last minutes, which was unfortunate, but they are still one of the teams that can advance in the Europa League. They are currently in second position in the league. They are running towards success in the Bundesliga behind Bayern Munich. Probably wrote the wrong match in the comment above. Because Frankfurt did not concede three goals.

[TelolettOm]

The Frankfurt team has been in great form this season. After losing the first match of the season, Frankfurt won 4 matches in a row. In every match we saw good performances from Frankfurt players. Frankfurt's defense is a little weak, but the performance of the attacking players of this team is very good. And this is why the Frankfurt team won against Holstein Kiel.

Yes, they tried last season, but they could only finish in 6th position and enter the Europa League group stage. It's just that the club's performance at the beginning of this season was quite good and stable, they won 4 times and only lost 1x. even more consistent than Leverkusen.

Even though there were not many changes in the team, both departures and arrivals, so they are still quite solid and just need to optimize it. Well, we will see how this club performs in the next match because they will meet Bayern Munich, and this will be quite tough for Frankfurt, to be honest it will be quite tough. But, this will be a much tighter match as previously.

Frankfurt is doing what they could not do on there  last season and I like there ability of deciding to step up on this season, however concerning this there match yesterday if not for the penalty they conceive, Holstein Kiel would not have score up to two goals against them but I'm very happy seeing Frankfurt playing this good on this season and Bayern Munich is not even too far from them because is only one point that demarcate them.

However about Leverkusen the only reason why they were a bit affected on the table was there match they lose to RB Leipzig because that three points they missed would have actually take them to the second position instead of Frankfurt but they still have a good chance because there is no way Frankfurt will play all there matches without losing anyone, so anyone they lose will become an advantage for Bayern Leverkusen.

This season the bundesliga is getting really intriguing and it will be more intensed when Bayern Munich will be ahead by over 5-10 points then it will be clear they are dominating the title race but for Leverkusen the former champions, we hope they are able to still compete hard enough this season because a with the pressure at which Bayern Munich is going, maybe Leverkusen may not have a privilege anywhere around them if they further broaden the gap by 5-10 points, they may just have to settle for a spot around top four, kompany is making Bayern Munich proud and giving them hope of getting back their dominance and they continue on the winning ways this season.
