Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[RockBell]

Unfortunately we all know that the Champions League is a truly hard competition, just see the teams that have been eliminated, the thing that can tell himself the leverkusen is that in the end it managed to get to this point, if you see this thing you understand that it is one of the strongest teams in Europe, certainly among the top 16 and it is not bad as a result if one thinks well
With this awareness he can work to improve more, perhaps next year!

The competition is actually tougher than we think and people who have participated know what it takes to qualify for it and this is why the Champions League is one of the most respectable leagues we can ever mention and that is why if you are bagging it, it makes more sence.

One thing I love about Leverkusen is that no matter the circumstances they are always trying there best even in the Bundesliga they are having serious  drag with bayern Munich so this is enough reasons you need to make more choices at always getting better.

And they are the defending champions of the Bundesliga, no one expected them to have gone this far and it's a good sign that they will go far.

Bayern Munich getting such an easy win wasn't on my cards, I didn't expected them to be this easily dominating the game. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Bayern winning is a shock, of course they could have won and they did in the end, I am saying the amount of domination they had in this game was a new one and I didn't expected this to happen.

Of course it's a very tough one to deal with and we need to realize that things aren't always that easy to handle, we shouldn't really expect everything to be this easy. I get that Leverkusen is normally considered a worse team, but the gap between them isn't normally this big and I am shocked to see this type of game. I am sure the series is over already, Bayern will be in quarter finals.

[hyudien]

In the second leg, Dortmund must try harder to get a win in the deciding match. A draw is not good enough, but looking at the performance of both teams, it is considered fair and quite satisfying for both teams. But in the second leg, of course, everything will be different, Dortmund might be able to get a win with their full effort. I hope to see a really all-out match from both teams in the second leg.

If you look at the appearance of both in their respective Leagues, it is not much different so it is still quite difficult to predict the course of the match in the second leg. Lille is more advantaged by the draw obtained when playing in the first leg so that the game in the second leg will take place at home. In terms of pressure, Dortmund may be much greater, but anything can still happen. Hard work will determine the results and if the coach has a better strategy then one of them still has a good chance of winning, although Lille itself is much more advantaged playing in front of their own audience.

LOSC is a team that is quite tough to beat so for Leg 2 later the chances of both Dortmund and LOSC are still 50:50 even with Dortmund instability being my concern that they will be eliminated later. Then some teams that have pocketed 80% to qualify such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Aston Villa while the remaining teams with thin aggregates can still be considered to turn things around in Leg 2.

The match was Dortmund's home match. So we thought Dortmund would win by dominating. But Dortmund could not dominate the match. Lille's overall gameplay was good. So Dortmund's players played very carefully. Despite being a home match, Dortmund had only 43% ball possession. And made only 7 shots. Lille's players had 57% ball possession and made 9 shots.

Lille's performance in Ligue 1 is very irregular. However, this team is playing well in the Champions League. Lille also defeated a big team like Barcelona. Lille's players are confident. It is expected that Lille's players will perform better in the home match. I will put Lille ahead in the race to qualify for the quarter-finals.

I don't understand why people keep saying that they are back because they won 3 games!
It's even worse when you look at whom they beat:
St Pauli , Union, Heindenheim
Lost to Stuttgart and Bochum.

So they won against teams placed 14th,  15th and 18th and lost against the 9th and 16th.
How can you brag by winning against two teams that haven't got a single win in the last 5 games anyhow?

Way too many look here at the 5 rounds record without actually checking whom they played in those rounds.

I think it's simple, before these 5 games Dortmund scored one point in 4 games. I think you'll agree the difference is noticeable - 1 point in 4 games or 9 in 5. Moreover, the strength of the opponents in this case is not important - everyone is used to the fact that Dortmund does not fall below a certain level and must regularly score points. An additional factor is the unexpectedly easy success in the 1/16 Champions League, where the result was achieved already in the first game (and away).

It still matters, let's see what happens in the next five games and then compare...
But they will meet Augsburg, Leipzig, Mainz, Freiburg...and Munchen.
So places 11th, 4th to 6th and the leader, now if you get 9 points for beating the last teams in the Bundesliga and let's say 6 for winning against a top 5 and drawing against the other two, which is more of a performance?

Indeed, UCL is a different league and it's very hard.
In the quarter-final qualifying competition, the two giant clubs of Bundesliga unfortunately have to meet. I thought, Leverkusen could really match Bayern Munich like in the domestic league heir. but it turned out, it was very unlucky for Leverkusen who had to get a very disappointing result. Not only a humiliating defeat of 3-0 but also a red card for one of their main defenders. So, it seems that Leverkusen has a small chance even though there is still a second leg.

Xabi also admitted that it was their fault, a bad performance, quite bad control, and made a lot of mistakes. They learnt many things from this.
And they need a miracle to pass to the next round in the second leg.

Source: Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso said

What Alonso has done with Leverkusen truly is amazing. He made them a true team. But this loss exposed everything wrong with the "no-striker" strategy in knockout football. Sure, you can get away with flexible rotations in the Bundesliga; but, against Bayern? They left Leverkusener toothless, smothered Wirtz, isolated Adli

Bayern is ruthless. Kane silenced the critics; Musiala is becoming a killer; Kompany is beginning to look like a legit coach. Nine months in, and he already finds himself under comparison to Klopp and Guardiola? That isn't crazy. And the way Bayern publicly flirting for signing Wirtz right before this game? Coincidence? Not a chance

The second leg serves just formality. Leverkusen deserves a miracle. Bayern will play smart, though; back off, counter, kill the clock. Job done. Alonso has a future; yet, this was a harsh lesson

[Akbarkoe]

.........................

at least we all know that in the hands of alonso, leverkusen became a team worthy of fighting in the champions league even though they were unable to go further, but maybe a miracle will happen and Leverkusen can qualify for the next round of UCL hehe.

In the local league, Bayern's performance is very satisfying, Leverkusen is already 8 points behind and it seems like they have to give up the championship title this season to Bayern, while what I didn't expect was Dortmund's position which is very far below.

They performed quite well in the qualifying round and even managed to qualify for the round of 16 without having to go through the playoffs, but they had to face a tough opponent in the round of 16 because they had to face Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich, who has quite high ambitions to be able to win the champions league title, really destroyed Bayern Leverkusen in the round of 16. With a fairly large aggregate of 3-0, it will be quite difficult for Xabi Alonos' team to be able to equalize, even though in the second leg Bayern Leverkusen will appear as the host.

And on the other hand, Bayern Munich's performance in the Bundesliga, it seems like they will lose the title this season, and it will be won again by Bayern Munich.

and regarding Borussia Dornmund's performance, they have still not been able to restore their consistency to be able to achieve more wins. Their position continues to decline and it is difficult to return to the top of the standings.

Lille is doing a lot better on their own league, they are fifth and have a chance to finish fourth and go to UCL again, if not then at least they could go to Europa league, they have that chance and not doing that bad. Dortmund is doing terrible though, it's most likely that we are not going to see Dortmund in any of the European competitions next season, they are going to finish the season out of UEFA competition rankings and they are going to have a season of just being in Bundesliga.

This doesn't mean that Dortmund should lose of course, it just means that you can't look at the leagues and make a decision based on that, it is not the same league, and it is not the same teams in each competition they are in neither.

[kawetsriyanto]

This season Bayern Munich can go far in the Bundesliga and also in the Champions League if Munich's chances are not lost in the second leg by Leverkusen. Because both teams are not only competing in the Bundesliga this season but also have to compete in the Champions League in the round of 16 and the first leg has been won by Munich so Leverkusen might have a little difficulty in turning the situation around in the second leg later. But I am also looking forward to Leverkusen's best performance in the second leg so that there is a sense of satisfaction for Leverkusen fans in going through this season in the Champions League and also the Bundesliga.

In Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is quite safe to finish as a champion. There is no way that Leverkusen can overtake them. They are leading with a large point gap, I'm sure there is no time for Leverkusen to catch Bayern Munich. Moreover, Leverkusen performance is still unstable, meanwhile Bayern Munich performance looks more stable.

In UCL, Bayern Munich looks like to be in the next round. Bayern is leading with 3 goals, it is difficult to equalize the aggregate goal. Even if the next Leg will be in Leverkusen home, it is something very hard to score more than 3 goals. I think Leverkusen players only can hope for the miracle in Leg 2 since the chance is almost impossible.

[KTChampions]

Muh... What new form? Yesterday they couldn't win at home against Lille and now I think they are underdogs as the decisive game will be away. However, Dortmund is volatile/unstable so maybe they will be lucky in France. In any case, I regret that I thought that they could at least win a home game in the Champions League against a clear underdog and I lost my multiple bets.

You definitely do not know what it means for a team that's plugged in this kind of form that they are this season wins two games in row and still in a competition like the Champions League then you will learn to respect such a team a bit. You're only bittered because you lost your bet.  Apart from Bayern Leverkusen who won the and Bayern Munich who are still in the competition, can you mention another German team that's still in the competition?
Both Stuttgart and Leipzig are ahead of Dortmund in the league currently and both teams also went to the champions League this season alongside Dortmund, where are they now???

And you don't know where they are now? Just look at the league table - they are above Dortmund. And in the Champions League they are together with City.
And yes, I don't need to know anything about Dortmund "which won two games". I saw this team even when Klopp was coaching them. This is a clown team, unstable results, rare ups and frequent downs. If you watched this team for a long time you would know that two or three, etc. games won mean nothing.

Moreover, Leverkusen performance is still unstable, meanwhile Bayern Munich performance looks more stable.

An 8 point gap is too difficult to catch up with, especially since Bayern Munich is in its best condition. Leverkusen bid to retain the title they won last season is slim, it is very difficult to expect Bayern Munich to slip up if they continue to perform like this. Now there are only 10 matches left in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich only need to win 8 of the remaining 10 matches to become champions again, I think it is not difficult for them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It is obviously a difficult situation for them, because I am sure if they were given the choice they would not want to meet so soon because they are in the same league and if they had the choice they would prefer to be in different tables. The match is currently underway and Bayern Munich are already ahead through a goal scored by Harry Kane. The first half is also about to end so this is a good advantage for Bayern Munich. Let's see who will come out on top in this second leg, because there is still a lot of time left to turn things around.

Yes, you could say that things with these two teams are really difficult, but it's the same as you say, Bayern's superiority was incredible, in fact things went wrong for Xabi this time, they still have a second chance, but it's very difficult for them to get close to a score like that, we're talking about Bayern and although it's not impossible because Xabi really has to do something incredible, it's among the possibilities that they can achieve it, but honestly things are very difficult for him.

of course Bayern is currently very extraordinary because they can lead the standings where last season Leverkusen always led the standings but now Bayern is leading the standings which of course now there must be a sense of satisfaction for Bayern fans and of course in the UCL also now Bayern has indeed managed to beat Leverkusen with a good score of 3-0 and of course we will not know whether Leverkusen will be able to beat Bayern by scoring a lot of goals or not because of course if Leverkusen does not score a lot of goals it will certainly be difficult for Leverkusen to qualify for the UCL quarter-finals.

but yes I personally also look forward to the revival of Leverkusen so that of course the match later will be more exciting and of course it is also possible that Leverkusen will play better by scoring a lot of goals in the second leg later. but for the Bundesliga it seems that it is currently very difficult for Leverkusen to become champions because their points difference is far and it seems that Leverkusen must let this season's trophy be taken by Bayern.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Yes, Lille will benefit from playing with their fans' support. The situation is still difficult to predict and will depend on the team's readiness and the strategy used by both coaches.
Dortmund or Lille still have a chance to win. It's just that there is a possibility that the match will be decided by extra time or even a penalty shootout. When both teams cannot win in normal time, then the next thing is about their mentality.

I don't see the chance of the game ending in a draw for the second leg and I am sure both Lille and Dortmund will try their best to finish the match in normal time. The situation is indeed quite advantageous for Lille, but that does not mean Dortmund will let them play more openly to beat them easily. The coach's strategy will determine the steps of one of the two to qualify for the next round and I am sure there will be a surprise later. The question of mentality may be determined based on experience and in this case Dortmund will be much better but there is no greater guarantee for them to win the match.

Dortmund did have a high mentality in the Champion League match but now everything is different because it is not only the mentality that determines but the strength and performance of a team that we can see as a whole this season.
Dortmund's performance this season has been inconsistent even though after changing coaches their performance has improved slightly and even showed impressive performance in the Bundesliga but what happened in the first leg against Lille proved the fierce competition in the Champion League.

now we are realistic that Dortmund will have a little difficulty in the second leg later because Lille who will play at home with Agg which is still a draw of course has much greater motivation.

[Promocodeudo]

of course Bayern is currently very extraordinary because they can lead the standings where last season Leverkusen always led the standings but now Bayern is leading the standings which of course now there must be a sense of satisfaction for Bayern fans and of course in the UCL also now Bayern has indeed managed to beat Leverkusen with a good score of 3-0 and of course we will not know whether Leverkusen will be able to beat Bayern by scoring a lot of goals or not because of course if Leverkusen does not score a lot of goals it will certainly be difficult for Leverkusen to qualify for the UCL quarter-finals.

There's one thing that's giving me joy currently thats bayern defeating Leverkusen in the UEFA champions league, there was no excuse in case some people will say that there was a red card, the red card came after Bayern has scored 2 goals already, so for me it was a convincing winning by bayern, i think this season German bundesliga title is for Bayern, there's nothing stopping them again this time, yea there are still more matches remaining but this winning will boost their moral and confidence to tackle any team in their league side as it is now, 3:0 is not manage, it is a good winning, a perfect one as such, though foitball is full of surprises but Leverkusen defeating Bayern in their next match with 4:0 is what I see being impossible.

Leverkusen may score goals in the second play but having that number of goals seems a bit unrealistic, I see Bayern moving to the next level of the championships league, Leverkusen made everything very difficult for themselves and easy for Bayern unless Bayern will allow things to go sideways in their next meeting aside that, there's nothing leverkusen can do to change the handwriting on the board.

8 point gap is not difficult to catch up in football anything is possible but the most difficult thing I see now is the ability for Leverkusen to stop the good form of Bayern Munich who is not thinking losing any match now, at this point I think Xabi Alonso and his men should start working hard for next season because from the performance of Bayern Munich in all competition they are not playing like a team that want to stop winning matches any time soon they have 10 matches as you said if you look at the games you will realize that Bayern Munich is capable of winning the 10 matches left with their current form, I think I'm it's all over for Leverkusen this season they should focus on finishing behind Bayern Munich that's a good result for them.

[Pandu Geddon]

Let's see in the second leg later, I'm sure all possibilities can still happen. In the first leg, both teams did not have many opportunities, but the situation in the second leg will definitely be different. Lille will probably control the second leg better than Dortmund. If both teams play openly, then the match will be interesting. But if on the contrary if both teams play too carefully, it could be a boring match, and hopefully the Lille vs Dortmund match in the second leg will not be boring.

[HajiBagi]

Bayern Munich getting such an easy win wasn't on my cards, I didn't expected them to be this easily dominating the game. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Bayern winning is a shock, of course they could have won and they did in the end, I am saying the amount of domination they had in this game was a new one and I didn't expected this to happen.

Of course it's a very tough one to deal with and we need to realize that things aren't always that easy to handle, we shouldn't really expect everything to be this easy. I get that Leverkusen is normally considered a worse team, but the gap between them isn't normally this big and I am shocked to see this type of game. I am sure the series is over already, Bayern will be in quarter finals.

The match between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich was not as tough as we expected because Bayern Munich won the game easily with 3 goals, Leverkusen's defeat was the cause of the team coach, Leverkusen is the reason why the team was defeated, Leverkusen had many strikers that can score goals in the match and Xabi Alonso decide to start another player that is not good scoring to play against Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso underate Bayern Munich that is why he didn't use that striker that will score goals in the match.

With the way Leverkusen is going and Bayern Munich knowing how to play against them Leverkusen will not like that because they will start feeling like Xabi Alonso doesn't want to coach the team next season, Leverkusen still never had any hope of winning any trophy this season, the 3 goals Bayern Munich score has give Bayern a lot of opportunity to qualify to next round, Leverkusen can not equalize those goals because they lose the opportunity they have a place.

[Roseline492]

It still matters, let's see what happens in the next five games and then compare...
But they will meet Augsburg, Leipzig, Mainz, Freiburg...and Munchen.

The only level I believe Dortmund are not going to fall is their relegation but anything outside that they don't have a limitation, so actually I think they will fall a little more because of what they have to faced, so the few matches you said is what will justify it. Augsburg which is led by Jess Thorup can make his team to resist Borussia Dortmund since the both has the same to loss, however is a club with higher prestige Augsburg usually knell down, though they have not done it to Leverkusen but Borussia M'gladbach got it two match ago from Augsburg 3:0. However I have Freiburg on mind to also win Borussia Dortmund along the way.
