Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Hirose UK]

All the teams in the Bundesliga have only played five games this season and the top five teams in the standings have also had a very close and even almost the same number of points as Leverkusen and Dortmund. So all of them have to be really consistent in every important game if they still want to be in a better position throughout this season and Leverkusen will definitely try to win more this season in order to continue to compete with their rivals and also with the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

The point difference is not much and those teams at the top like the top 4 or 5 are standing as the best to be at that spot, but when it will be hard is when some of them start playing each other like Bayern going against team like Leipzig or Dortmund against Bayer Leverkusen, something like that. Although the heat is already on so let's see how far teams like Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will step up to handle the pressure of this season. Like we all know, the schedule is very busy and it will get the better part of many clubs which will result to fatigue or injuries, but is a matter of time to figure out which team would feel it first.

I think the match between Bayern Munic and Bayern Leverkusen last weekend already gave us an idea of how some of those big matches will be. Bayern Munic inability to win Leverkusen even after scoring first shows how serious the top teams are this season. The entire fixture of last week was predictable except the match between Freiburg and St. Pauli that St. Pauli won when everyone expected Freiburg to win using their performance this early part of the season. We will see a serious competition for the league title this year.

It is still the same as last season but to talk about the title fight I am not really sure that Leverkusen will be able to easily get the title even though I had thought and assumed about Leverkusen being able to win the title again and defend it.
What is clear is that Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will be the team competing this season to fight for the title, several other teams such as Dortmund and Stuttgart and Leipzig still look less convincing for this season and at the beginning of the season the only one who looked quite consistent among the three was Leipzig, but I doubt they can survive.
Actually it is still too early to talk about the title fight and who deserves to be the Bundesliga champion this season because each team is still focused on the UCL and Europa League competitions so there will be a decline and inconsistent play here, what is clear is that we can judge it more accurately when we have entered the middle of the season until the end of the season later.

In my opinion, this is not so disappointing because Leverkusen is not a club that is easy to beat by Bayern Munich even though Bayern Munich tried to pressure their opponents but Leverkusen has devised a strategy to make their defense stronger because they know they are facing a Bundesliga giant and they always score a lot of goals while Leverkusen's defense is not that weak at least Bayern Munich did not lose points in this match and they are still leading the standings for now. Vincent Kompany's test is not over yet they have only had their first meeting and the second meeting will be held at Leverkusen's headquarters it will be tougher for Bayern Munich but that is still a long time so Bayern still has time to perform better in their second meeting.

Although Kompany was able to ensure that Bayern dominated this match, Bayer was able to hold on to a draw and this is good for the competitiveness of the Bundesliga, where the teams at the top of the table continue to move quite close. This may change later, but for now Bayern does not have a big advantage over other teams and this draw shows that Alonso was able to preserve the Bayer we saw last season, but this time Bayern will definitely not give them the title just like that.

Before the season started, during the summer break, I knew Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't retain the league. Bayern Munich won't just sit by and allow them to have back-to-back Bundesliga titles. Even though it's still in the early stages of the competition, I strongly believe that Munich will win the league this time. 
Bayer Leverkusen are in good form and they might not drop many points this season, but Bayern will take the league more seriously this season. They have already started in good form and they're playing very well.
Teams like Dortmund and Leipzig are not ready to compete for the league title. Fans of other leagues believe Bayern Munich wins the league so frequently because the other teams are not good enough, but that's not true. They win because they're so good and if any other team wants the win the league they have to be better. That's exactly what Leverkusen did last season. They had to go unbeaten to win the league because Bayern Munich are that good.

The draw has shown us that both clubs deserve to be favourites to win the season, Kompany has managed to erase our doubts about him as Munich new coach, as well as Alonso who continues to be able to lead Leverkusen to remain a strong team despite their has failure to maintain an unbeaten record, if we talk about those match, I think by far the match it was the most exciting match in the Bundesliga, the intensity, the emotion and also the quality of the two teams we can really see in the match, Bayern Munich appeared quite attractive in attack throughout the game and they managed to show Alonso that they are not Munich last season that they can slaughter, attack after attack continues to be shown by both teams to score goals but indeed the defense they have also no less great,So that the score of 1-1 was a draw for both teams.

Overall, the draw is fair for both teams considering that both teams are top Bundesliga teams and both are favorites to win the Bundesliga this season, but for Bayern Munich this is a bit disappointing because they played at home and were able to play much better with more dominant control of the match but were unable to win the match.
So I think this draw is only beneficial for Leverkusen.

And for Bayern Munich, in terms of quality this season, they have been much better, and Kompany should have been appreciated even though at the beginning of his arrival there were doubts, but Kompany managed to prove it by making Bayern Munich's performance much stronger this season.

It can be said that Bayern Munich have been going the right way so far this season. Bayern Munich have earned full points in all but one of their Bundesliga matches. Bayern Munich's last match against Leverkusen had expectations that Bayern Munich might be able to beat this team this season but they failed to do so. They were not able to score even if they put the ball in their favor and shot the target. If we discuss the performance of the match against Leverkusen, one thing is clear that if Bayern Munich continues this performance, it will be difficult for them to win the title this season.

Recently until five games, Bayern Munich have been on the right way after won 4 of 5 matches and get one being draw match from Bayern Leverkusen last match. But have good expectation with Bayern Munich performance under Vincent Kompany after success scoring 17 goals of 5 matches and its very good start for Bayern Munich.

Have many matches left in Bundesliga and Bayern Munich still have opportunity on the top performance or return back under performed, if this season Bayern Munich win the domestic league trophy I think incredible start for Vincent Kompany although have bad respond from first time appointing as Bayern Munich manager.

The draw against Leverkusen was fair considering Alonso's squad is a strong candidate and in that match Munich dominated and if Bayern Munich can maintain such performance in every match then it is very clear for them to slowly approach the Bundesliga trophy this season. Another thing I agree if kompany is able to bring Munich to lift this trophy it will be a great success for him in his first season and it is very possible that kompany will be targeted by many big clubs in the future.

The outcome of the game favored both teams since they are the strongest clubs in the Bundesliga currently. Fans were expecting to see this game since it is like the El Classico of the German League. I wouldn't lie, the game fell below my expectations. I expected Bayer Leverkusen to match the performance of the host. It seems the visitors were just defending instead of coming out to play. Bayern had eighteen shots and three on target. While Leverkusen just had three shots and two on target. Vincent Kompany is not doing a bad job, he is gradually exceeding my expectations. Xabi Alonso will be focusing on his game today against AC Milan in the UCL while Bayern will battle with Aston Villa tomorrow.

Under Kompany leadership, Munich managed to top the Bundesliga standings with an unbeaten record in the last five matches. Munich return to form puts pressure on Leverkusen who won the Bundesliga last season, They are currently three points behind Munich after suffering a defeat to Leipzig. The competition in the Bundesliga this season is very competitive, each team continues to compete to reach the top of the standings, the very small difference in points makes the position of each team not yet safe, including Bayern Munich who is only one point ahead of Frankfurt who is in second place.

[Raflesia]

The Bayern Munich vs Frankfurt match will certainly be quite interesting to watch, sharing points with Leverkusen I think is still a reasonable result for Bayern Munich considering the strong performance of Xabi Alonso's squad but I don't think that should have happened in their match against Frankfurt, or I mean full points should have been obtained even though I know they will be playing away.

The condition of Bayern and Frankfurt is quite interesting for this match where both clubs are in quite good condition in terms of performance and they are even in the order of competition in the race for first place.
Their point difference is only 1 point now and indeed this is a very good condition to see how this match will happen.

Frankfurt statistically and player strength is still below Bayern for now but playing at home could make a difference in this match. I think this will be a match with quite good tension, it's just that when talking about victory, most likely it will be Bayern who get 3 points even with a narrow win later.

This may change later, but for now Bayern does not have a big advantage over other teams and this draw shows that Alonso was able to preserve the Bayer we saw last season, but this time Bayern will definitely not give them the title just like that.

In fact, besides Munich dominating the match against Leverkusen, there were two shots from Munich players that hit the goalpost. If only the shots were perfectly utilized, Leverkusen would have lost the match. However, in fact, the match ended with a score of 1-1. Based on tactics, Bayern Munich is much better than Leverkusen. Well, this is precisely homework for Alonso, where when Bayern Munich visited BayArena, they were ready to get full points. I mean, if Leverkusen did not experience changes or improve their performance and game. In addition, Bayern Munich remains productive in terms of scoring goals, 5 matches 17 goals they have packed. If Kompany is able to keep his team on the right track, they will slowly widen the points gap from their rival teams. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen's performance has declined. last season in their 34 matches they only conceded 24 goals, this season only 5 weeks running Leverkusen has conceded 10 goals. if, Alonso does not pay attention and fix the weaknesses of his team's defense, maybe this season Leverkusen will often experience draws or defeats. btw, this is just my personal assumption.

[Lafu]

I don't think we can exclude Leipzig from the list of competitors, and because the points difference is still very thin in the top four area of ​​the standings.

I also think that Leipzig should be not excluded for now for the competitors of the first 4 spots on the table.
It need just a few games and all can change quikly and there are for sure some games that Munich and also Leverkusen will be struggling.

The Bayern Munich vs Frankfurt match will certainly be quite interesting to watch, sharing points with Leverkusen I think is still a reasonable result for Bayern Munich considering the strong performance of Xabi Alonso's squad but I don't think that should have happened in their match against Frankfurt, or I mean full points should have been obtained even though I know they will be playing away.

On the paper Bayern Munich has for sure the advantage when it goes for the players.
But its most times not easy to play in Frankfurt and they can be really good at home , so i looking forward to that game in hope Frankfurt can surprise us with a win.

I think now Kompany has managed to break any of our previous doubts when he was first made a coach by Munich, Kompany who is considered an inexperienced coach and failed with Burnley he is now starting to prove that he has the ability to manage a team like Munich, the competition in the Bundesliga standings is currently quite tight when the top 5 teams are only 1 and 2 points away from Munich,  Leverkusen is still one of the favourites to win this season with Munich because the point difference is still too easy for them to chase right now, I think not Frankfurt that Munich should be worried about even though they are in second place at the moment, because I think Frankfurt is not a team that has the potential to stop Munich to win the league, but Munich should still must to focus on Leverkusen considering that the performance they currently have is very comparable to Munich.

[Luzin]

On the paper Bayern Munich has for sure the advantage when it goes for the players.

My view of Kompany has changed slightly. He has made me feel happy with the state of Bayern Munich's game. They did not lose their nickname as a strong team because they were still strong enough until week 5. Although maybe some people are still not sure because this is just the beginning of the season. But seeing them play in the UCL and Bundesliga they have a good attacking pattern. This means that Kompany is right working as a coach.  Kompany understands how he will work with his players. Thursday they will play Aston Villa in the UCl, I think they will win again.

If we discuss the performance of the match against Leverkusen, one thing is clear that if Bayern Munich continues this performance, it will be difficult for them to win the title this season.

If Bayern is on track in this team, I can give them the title of the strongest team.  It is not in every team idea and style to see a performance like this.  Although many teams are ready to defeat them, but after a while Bayern Munich players defeat them due to their speed and strength and that is why it remains a famous and strong team at this time.  I hope he continues to be awesome and strong till the end of this league and into the next season as well.  You have to understand how strong Leverkusen is although they are not ahead of Bayern Munich they are strong and hard work.  But in this match, there was pressure on the player of Bayern Munich, but everyone watching really hoped that Leverkusen would lose.  It will be difficult for Leverkusen if they play again or if Bayern Munich go up through any match.  Because Bayern Munich has already known Leverkusen and now they will not get the defeat and the title.

[Dewi Aries]

In my opinion, this is not so disappointing because Leverkusen is not a club that is easy to beat by Bayern Munich even though Bayern Munich tried to pressure their opponents but Leverkusen has devised a strategy to make their defense stronger because they know they are facing a Bundesliga giant and they always score a lot of goals while Leverkusen's defense is not that weak at least Bayern Munich did not lose points in this match and they are still leading the standings for now. Vincent Kompany's test is not over yet they have only had their first meeting and the second meeting will be held at Leverkusen's headquarters it will be tougher for Bayern Munich but that is still a long time so Bayern still has time to perform better in their second meeting.

Although Kompany was able to ensure that Bayern dominated this match, Bayer was able to hold on to a draw and this is good for the competitiveness of the Bundesliga, where the teams at the top of the table continue to move quite close. This may change later, but for now Bayern does not have a big advantage over other teams and this draw shows that Alonso was able to preserve the Bayer we saw last season, but this time Bayern will definitely not give them the title just like that.

In my opinion, in yesterday's match, Bayern Munich could have maximized their performance to be more aggressive because they were also playing at home, but maybe they didn't want to take the risk because they remembered that their opponent was not an ordinary team, and maybe this is also what Xabi Alonso did to his team, which added to their journey this season is still quite far so they prefer not to be too aggressive in running the match and prefer to play with great caution to avoid unnecessary carelessness. And I'm sure that the story would be different if it was a decisive match regarding who will win this season.

On the other hand, overall, of course this season will certainly be much more interesting, the competition in terms of points is very thin and this makes most teams, especially those in the top area, more careful in every match and will certainly be more optimal in every opportunity. Leverkusen is still a strong team, but their journey this season will not be as easy as last season.

Xabi Alonso will be focusing on his game today against AC Milan in the UCL while Bayern will battle with Aston Villa tomorrow.

Referring to the last 4 matches, Leverkusen has conceded 9 goals, this is an unfinished homework, therefore in this match Alonso changed his tactics by focusing more on defense because he knows that if he plays with Munich's style of play he will most likely lose and I am sure Leverkusen will not be able to match it, especially the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena is different, the host's motivation to win is very big. This 1 point achievement is enough for Alonso's squad to prove that they are still strong candidates even though on the other hand I am more sure that Munich is getting closer to the championship trophy this season considering the game they have shown so far is very good under Kompany's command. Regarding the UCL, Leverkusen's opponent is tougher even though acting as the host, Milan is not an easy opponent to beat, this will be an exciting match. And the Munich match which will be held tomorrow I am sure Kompany's team will be able to steal points at Aston Villa.

Thursday they will play Aston Villa in the UCl, I think they will win again.

Kompany has proven his capacity, so far he has been able to make Bayern Munich appear stunning with a series of wins and also many goals. I previously also doubted him, but if you look at the pattern and teamwork on the field, it seems that the Belgian will soon lift the trophy with Bavarian. Although my statement is a bit excessive, the reality is that Kane and his friends are really able to understand what is the big target that Kompany has set.

[Mame89]

Although Kompany was able to ensure that Bayern dominated this match, Bayer was able to hold on to a draw and this is good for the competitiveness of the Bundesliga, where the teams at the top of the table continue to move quite close. This may change later, but for now Bayern does not have a big advantage over other teams and this draw shows that Alonso was able to preserve the Bayer we saw last season, but this time Bayern will definitely not give them the title just like that.

Since the beginning of Kompany's selection as Coach, many doubted him, but slowly he began to prove that he would be successful with the right team, and this was slowly proven at Bayern Munich. The philosophy he built was not digested by Burnley in the Premier League, but at Bayern Munich with good material he succeeded. Under Kompany's guidance, Bayern Munich changed a lot.

It was proven in this match that Bayern Munich was very dominant, maybe if Leverkusen did not play full defense Leverkusen would have suffered a big defeat, kudos to Bayern Leverkusen who were able to hold a draw. And indeed the draw obtained by Bayern Munich was not so perfect but this was a good start for Kompany especially this draw did not make Bayern Munich drop in ranking.

Leverkusen this season will still be a tough competitor for Bayern Munich, many thought that Leverkusen had slumped and returned to factory settings but it turned out that they were still scary this season by managing to hold Bayer Munich to a draw. Both teams are indeed favorites to win the Bundesliga, we just have to wait and see who will be consistent until the end of the season. Although many said that Leverkusen parked the bus, and that is natural because Leverkusen was forced to 'park the bus' by Bayern Munich due to being inferior in terms of material, quality and tactics.
