Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Fiatless]

Mainz has a pretty good mentality for competing in the Bundesliga. I saw it when facing strong teams like Munich and Leverkusen.
They played at home and beat Munich, although they couldn't dominate the match and tended to be under pressure. However, they showed they could take advantage of their few opportunities.
Likewise when facing Leverkusen. Even though they lost, they only conceded 1 goal from so much pressure and opportunities that Leverkusen had.
Mainz is a pretty good team, this season they performed better than the previous season.

Last season Mainz ended in the 13th position. But it looks like they might have a better season since they are in sixth position. The club have mastered the act of withstanding pressure and maximizing a few opportunities through counterattacks. In most of the games they won against big clubs, they had lesser ball possession but they took advantage of limited chances. I didn't expect them to win VfB Stuttgart because this team had a record of three wins in three games. But Bo Henriksen did all that needed to be done to earn the three points.

My favorite team in the Bundesliga is Mainz 05.
Despite their modest squad, they are a real lion when they play at home.
So far, they have defeated Bayern and Dortmund. Last week, they added Stuttgart to this list.
When Mainz plays at home (no matter who they play against), I always put Mainz in my coupons.
So far, they have never disappointed me, thank goodness.

When everyone is making Munich, Leverkusen and Dortmund their favourites, you seem to have a great interest in Mainz which has been a mid-table team so far🤣, I respect your choice to bet on Mainz but you also need to think twice before betting on them even though they have looked quite impressive in the league so far, because to expect them to continue to be consistent in winning is obviously very difficult, although Munich first defeat this season was indeed obtained from Mainz, but that does not mean Mainz will be able to continue to give you victory in their every match, choosing the favorite team is of course something normal by football fans but as a bettor we still have to think logically in making bets including the team that will win.

Sure, it is unrealistic to expect that a team will come out victorious in all their games, because previous victory doesn't guarantee future results and as a bettor, you should think logically before selecting your choice of teams because of what they team dynamics.

However, if one finds out that a team is doing well and can have way more wins than loses in a given season, one can take advantage of this and keep betting on them, even though you will lose some along the line but you will be profitable if team is fair and consistent in their performance.

It's almost a week since Dortmund sack Nuri Sahin but until today there was no progress about new coaches which probably Dortmund still considers several names candidates but unfortunately we only heard Ten Hag who linked to them but seems the negotiation is deadlock because both parties haven't reach an agreement and i think Dortmund should be immediatelly to decided who is new coaches who in charge

I mean it's risky to hold Mike Tullberg for much longer as the caretaker because we have seen Dortmund performance not too satisfied under him when they fight against Bremen last week and for Champion league Dortmund has important match against Shakhtar Donetsk which this is crucial match for Dortmund but judging from Dortmund latest performance i doubt they can win over Shakhtar Donetsk

Aren't they just dealing with caretaker manager instead? I mean if they wanted to really find someone, they would first find someone and then fire Nuri Sahin, it is not really that much of a big deal that they would find anyone really, they could have done it.

What I understood from the situation was that they would end up with just getting whatever they can with caretake manager first until the end of the season, and after the season ends they will get some manager during the summer period. But that's just what I assumed they would do, nothing that would be all that complicated at all, nothing that would be different from what we have seen so far. Of course that's not really that much of an easy issue neither, they just need to probably get someone instead of caretaker too, so I understand your reason too.

Dortmund can go slowly to end the season in a better position in the standings because targeting the championship is impossible, after the season is over Dortmund can look for a new manager who suits the needs of the team. Choosing the wrong manager will make Dortmund even worse so they have to find someone who really understands Dortmund in any condition. It is indeed not easy after a change of coach because there may be many things that need to be changed starting from the style of play, strategy and adaptation that may be different from the previous coach.

Most people choose big teams that have been proven capable of dominating the competition but you are different, Mainz always perform well in every home game and this season they have also made quite significant improvements even though they have not been able to provide surprise by becoming rival for those who are trying to fight for the title.
Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt, Dortmund and Stuttgart have been beaten by Mainz but not Leverkusen, in the next match Mainz meets Werder at away and I think there is still chance for Mainz to win again.

Mainz 05 has been a team that has created many headaches for Bayern. In recent years, Bayern has not been able to beat Mainz 05 in all games of the season. For example, if in a season Bayern has 3 games against Mainz 05, then Bayern cannot win all 3 games. That's why I wasn't surprised when Mainz 05 won the game against Bayern.

I think Dortmund has changed its current coach too late so it seems that it will be difficult for them to at least be able to end the season in the Champions League zone, I think if Dortmund can moved quickly in evaluating the performance of  Nuri Sahin previously maybe they would not have experienced the slump like today, indeed the change of coach will not necessarily have a positive impact on a club but if you look at the quality of the squad that Dortmund have at the moment,  I believe if Dortmund can get the right coach and good tactical ability, of course they have a chance to rise back although ending the season in the Champions League zone will be a big challenge, there are currently several coaches who have been linked with them as interim coaches and I think Dortmund must to be really selective in choosing a coach to coaching in rest of this season

I just think what if Mainz makes some transfers for their attacking line. Getting a dangerous and strong striker in possession of the ball will be good for their counter-attack strategy which they often do. Surely they will be more productive in scoring goals.
Mainz's chance to compete and get a top 4 position in the Bundesliga standings is still very possible to achieve. Of course, they have to be more consistent in winning points. Their competitor Leipzig has also been inconsistent lately. They can take advantage of this situation to continue to rise in the standings.

Bo Henriksen was hire last season to save Mainz from relegation zone and he can reach the target which given to the owner and Mainz last season can survive to Bundesliga 1 and this season Mainz have change became an dark horses team which possibly can make the big teams get in trouble and before beat Stuttgart actually Mainz can beat the teams such as Dortmund, Frankfurt and the most impressive result is when they can beat Bayern Munich at their home

During this season only Mainz who can able to give the loses to Bayern Munich i think potentially Mainz can finish at european zone at the end of this season if playing consistent and they have interesting record because Mainz is not really good from ball possession for each matches but they were playing effective and have dangerous counter attack

Mainz has been one of the most surprising teams this year. They won against Stuttgart with a clear game. Of course, this was a morale loss for Stuttgart before the Champions League match they will play. Considering that they have also beaten Frankfurt and Bayern Munich, they are one of the dangerous teams this year. They manage to score goals in many matches, so we can say that they have a fighting spirit. They are really trying this year and maybe they will be in a better place next year.

Dortmund's performance this season is far from expectations, making them have to be at the bottom of the standings. Dortmund must move quickly to find a successor from Nuri Sahin in order to achieve a better target at the end of the season. Several strong candidates for coach have begun to circulate in the media, namely Ralf Rangnick and Erik Ten Hag, both of whom are considered right to restore Dortmund's glory. But I think it's not wrong if Dortmund management re-invites cooperation with Jurgen Klopp even though it is very difficult to happen. But what is clear is that it is never too late for Dortmund if they are serious about wanting to return to the top position.

Mainz 05 really plays well when they are at home and I am also impressed by the way they play against big teams and take victory when they play at home. They may not be amongst the top teams in the Bundesliga, but their way of playing is very different and impressive and I really like how they keep to that record and make good success in that aspect.

They need to improve their performance overtime, they need to be competing for the Bundesliga title in years to come from now and battle for the top spot. This may take time from now but if they are able to keep up with this performance and advance gradually in the standings, it may become a reality soon.

[bitgolden]

Bayern Munich do not have that many big games left aside from Leverkusen game if you ask me, and because of that I am not sure if they would end up losing after this point. Worst part about them having this kind of return is that they are not looking that great at all, hence I am not entirely sure if they deserve to be even champions.

Kompany may keep his job if he wins the league, he may lose it even if he wins too, but I am sure that they are going to end up winning the league which Kompany didn't deserve at all. Bayern Munich looked not good this season at all, and they are only getting to the title because Leverkusen had a terrible horrible start, they got better eventually but they weren't good at all this season. If Leverkusen could have just won this game, then league would be more entertaining, then Leverkusen could have won against Bayern too and the gap would be only a single point, and that is what this season really deserved, not a six point gap between these two teams.

It has never failed me so far. (while playing in the home field of course)
I made a bet with my friend (Mainz-Bayern match)
He said Bayern would win the match, he even said they would win by 2 points, so I said Mainz would win and I won.
Last week, I bet on Mainz to win the Stuttgart match.
I watched the match a little bit and Stuttgart was getting into positions and missing a goal. I also thought that Mainz lost the bet this time and that they would not be able to win, then I stopped watching the match, but when I learned the result of the match, they won again.
If Mainz's odds are good when he plays at home, he will always be in my bet.
I hope they are successful. Because I always like teams that are humble and play teamwork.
Everyone accepts that Bayern Munich is the king of this league, but Mainz has a special place in my heart.

Losses and wins achieved by a team are common in a match, but when we make the mid-table team the favorite in every bet we make, isn't there a very small chance of seeing them continue to win in a match?
We have to admit that Mainz have been very impressive this season, but I personally wouldn't try to bet on them in the long term although they were able to beat a team as big as Munich in the league previously, because we know that every game will be greatly affected by a different atmosphere and obviously that will affect their performance in one match to another match.

There is nothing easy in the rest of the match this season, anyway, there are still very many remaining matches this season so I think the position of Bayern Munich at the top of the standings is not a comfortable position for them even their competitors Leverkusen continues to show an impressive performance that indirectly things This puts pressure to Bayern Munich.
If the percentage for Bayern Munich won the title this season I think it's not so big even I think it's the same as Leverkusen.

Mainz is one of the teams that is rarely discussed here and is also underestimated by most fans of top teams. However, most people do not understand that Mainz has a fairly strong attack line and looks consistent. It's just that Mainz players are less stable in terms of mentality. So it will be stronger when playing at home than playing away. If someone can see every appearance of Mainz, they can definitely see how the playing style that I think is actually good but requires a coach who is able to raise the mentality of the players. I am sure if Mainz had a very disciplined coach, this team would definitely have a better mentality.

It is natural that there will be less talk about Mainz. The first reason is that there is no known big star in this club. Second, this club is in the sixth position of the points table. If we compare the points difference between Mainz and Bayern Munich, we can see that there is a difference of 17 points between the two teams. Where the difference in points between this team and the first team is 17, it is natural that there will be less discussion about this team. There is a lot of talk about two or three teams writing one, which teams are first, second and third. Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are competing this season and both teams seem to be the talk of the town.  

Bayern Munich is the number 1 team in the points table with 48 points, the second number team in the Leverkusen table is 42 points, the third number team in the Eintracht Frankfurt points table is 37 points. That is, if there is a discussion, then the discussion should be more about these three parties.

Bayern Munich are in a better position to win Bundesliga with the current points gap against Leverkusen who are second. In the 22/23 season when Bayern Munich finished the league have equal points with Dortmund who were in second place, they got 71 points but what put Bayern Munich at the top was the goals they scored, they recorded 92 goals and Dortmund recorded 83 goals, that was a huge difference. Leverkusen haven't reached the level of Dortmund in time of pressuring Bayern Munich and they succeeded in Winning the title. Leverkusen last encounter was a shocked to me when many were saying that they will disturb Bayern Munich in winning the league, both have encountered a lost but Leverkusen played more draws than Bayern Munich.

[Lafu]

Kompany may keep his job if he wins the league, he may lose it even if he wins too,

Even there will be not much big games as you have written are left for Bayern Munich , every game can be that game where they maybe lose it or playing a draw.
This season there are many smaller Teams that can be making a surprise against big Teams.
At the moment i think that the job from Kompany is not in danger position , he have done so far a good job there and surprised the most of us to be honest.
I guess we will see him again next season in Munich for sure.

[Velvet78]

They will play on the 15th of February, if Bayern wins it's up to 9, so Bayern will afford to lose 3 matches and one extra draw since they have the advantage in goals and direct matches, that would be at that point considering two extra round till the data a 25% miss, so it would be nearly impossible for Bayer to recoups, Bayern has lost 9 points until now, hardly see that happening again.

But if Bayer beats them, then it's only 3 points, perfectly doable.

Yeah I'm looking forward to watching that crucial game.    If Bayern Munich win that one, we can basically call them half-champion as long as they don't mess up big time. I want Kane to achieve a trophy in his career finally. So much effort but only individual achievements...

Leverkusen should do something about their defending. They had better reinforce it a little more than this. They concede more than normal level. This also caused them to lose significant points in my opinion.

I don't expect them to play like the previous season of course. That was extraordinary and hard to be repeated. Defending better would do just fine.
