Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[pawel7777]

Predicting this match will be difficult, both teams will take the match very serious for their personal reason; Leverkusen will be serious to win the match because they want to keep mounting pressure on Bayern Munich in the title race, while Bochum will want to win so as to leave the relegation zone.

I'm not sure if Leverkusen still have faith in their ability to defend the championship with 6-point gap and only 8 games to go. But Bayern's recent failures against weak teams might have sparked some extra hopes and motivation.
Leverkusen is obviously a big favourite against Bochum, with odds of x1.25, but it's hard to write Bochum off given they defeated Bayern 3-2 only 2 weeks ago (red card for Bayern in the 42nd minute played a big part though). Can they do it again against Leverkusen? I doubt it. Both teams will be motivated, but Leverkusen is simply a level above.

Bayern Munich have a fantastic record against Inter Milan. In there last five meetings Bayern Munich has recorded four wins which obviously means Bayern Munich have a huge advantage going into this game except Inter Milan put out a surprising show come 8th April which is the date for the first leg of the quarter finals meeting of the champions league.

I wonder where you looked at the statistics. I see that in the last 5 official games Bayern have 3 wins and 2 losses. This is a fairly close result that does not indicate an advantage of one of the teams. And in any case, what does this stats from 2022, 2011 and 2010 have to do with modern realities? Bayern has become much less strong since then, so I would not take this historical data as a basis for predictions.

Maybe @SatoPrincess meant overall stats (ICC, friendlies and UCL) So he said 4 wins.
And these are official statistics, right?


Head To Head

Anyway I support you. Since then Munich has undergone many changes and for now, Munich actually only looks strong. But in terms of performance, Munich is still doubtful to face Inter who cannot be underestimated.

A mediocre team under great pressure can sometimes perform beyond expectations. Bochum is an easy opponent for Leverkusen in theory, people can easily predict the match result. Xabi Alonso chances of leading his team to secure full points are clearly higher, especially since the match will take place at BayArena. I don't think Bochum luck will repeat, unless Leverkusen plays very poorly throughout the match.

Anything can happen in the remaining 8 matches of this season, the situation can change quickly. Leverkusen only needs to focus on maintaining consistent performance. Leverkusen chances of retaining the trophy are indeed low, especially if Bayern Munich can also maintain the point difference between them. However, Leverkusen must remain optimistic until Bayern Munich has truly lock the trophy.

Bayern Munich fans are like that, as are the Munich coaches and players who are also still optimistic about doing their best in the Champions League even though the predictions from most people are very different. Because everyone also sees which teams are still left in the Champions League at this time so that the predictions regarding their chances are clearer for Munich. As for the Bundesliga trophy, I personally am also quite optimistic that Munich can win it this season and that will be quite an extraordinary proof for the Munich coach this season.

Bayern Munich's good record against Inter Milan makes Bayern Munich's chances to continue this trend wide open in the Champions League.
Of the six meetings, four meetings were won by Bayern Munich and two were won by Inter. The average goals scored can be said to be 2 goals.
Referring to the performance of both, there is a possibility that it will be balanced.
In the Bundesliga, the trophy is almost theirs (Bayern).

I hope you know that the current Bayern Munich squad or players are not playing like the Bayern Munich that beat Inter Milan four times in their past 6 meetings, so the past winning record of Bayern Munich against Inter Milan isn't a guarantee that Bayern Munich is the favorite to eliminate Inter Milan. In my opinion, the current Bayern Munich squad and Inter Milan players have the same strength, and they are topping their domestic league, which makes the Bayern Munich and Inter Milan match difficult to predict because both teams have what it takes to proceed to the next round of the UEFA Champions League competition.

[adultcrypto]

Obviously, Bayern Munich team is favorite for next match and that team has good stats as comparison to FC St. Pauli  team

Its nt only Bayern Munich that is the favorite for the next matchday on the coming weekend , also Leverkusen is the favorite in there game against Bochum on friday.
But to be honest Bayern Munich and also Leverkusen should not underestimate their opponents for the coming matches.
Both teams Bochum and also St. Pauli have shown that they can make some struggle against bigger teams.
Normaly Munich and Leverkusen should be win there games.

Next weekend have exactly the same resemblance as two weeks ago in that both Bayern Munic and Bayern Leverkusen  played against teams that they are stronger than. Funny enough, all the big teams lost their matches including Borussia Dortmund. The champions league match may be seen as excuse for such losses which is why I think such will not repeat this week. So it is a good option to combine few of these matches for good gains.

[Luzin]

Sancho presence at the beginning had a positive impact, but it didn't last long. Sancho had a bad season, the joint stats at Chelsea are not getting better. Rumors circulating there is a loan contract with Man United. They have a mandatory clause to give a permanent contract at the end of the loan period with a value of 25 million pounds. Although the contract can be canceled, Chelsea still has to pay Man United. This condition certainly makes Chelsea's dilemma because he is unable to compete. There are rumors that he may return to Germany.

I agree with you and although statistics are the basic reference in determining predictions, but if that is the reference then of course no team has managed to beat another strong team. Bayern Munich in the previous five matches against Inter Milan is also different from now because as far as I see they are slightly lower based on match statistics so it is difficult to say that Bayern Munich will beat Inter Milan.

The reality that I see is that Inter Milan's defense is much better and we can see how they played against Manchester City in the previous seasons in the Champions League, even though they ended up losing narrowly.

[Velvet78]

Hmm... an interesting option, although it seems to me that it is literally not beneficial for anyone, maybe only for Liverpool, but even then in the short term. They are happy with him in Bavaria, he is doing his job, I think he is happy too - this season he will finally get the title. With all due respect to Liverpool, further titles are much more likely in Bavaria than in Liverpool. The only thing that speaks in favor of this is the return to England.

Considering his age yeah I could agree with the "short term" statement. But he can still preserve a good level for at least a few more years I think.

Liverpool is likely to lose Salah at the end of the season. He has been their main goal source. Then they will need another good scorer to maintain his work from where he left. 

He has always been a great player, but he never played for a team that could actually win something. For the first time in his entire career, last season, he played for a team that wins all the titles and cups, and they ended up losing it yet again, somehow Kane curse continued. This season, that looks like it is going to finally break, and at 30+ years old he will finally win something.

Not a shock for Bayern to win the league, they always do that, last year was the weird one. However, can you imagine how weird it would be if Bayern Munich somehow loses enough points that Leverkusen ends up winning the title again? Every Munich fan will hate Kane lol, and the curse will not be just a joke, but people would start to consider it real.

Oh, you are talking about the cursed Harry Kane thing.    Of course there is no such thing as curse etc. but he has really been unlucky with achieving a trophy. But he also played a role in that by not leaving Tottenham much earlier. I hope he will get his first trophy this year.

Bayer can now focus entirely on the Bundesliga, they don't have any prerequisites yet to hope that they can defend their champions title, but they have to try to do it, and for that they need to win all the matches, they can't lose points, so even though Bochum is not the easiest team, I expect Bayer to beat such an opponent. On the other hand, I doubt that Bayern will lose the difference that they were able to make.

Despite losing and dropping points I feel Bayern Munich have a better chance of finishing top of the league this season ahead of Leverkusen. Leverkusen are lacking consistency in their performance this season it’s not like Leverkusen will be able to win all their remaining games if Bayern Munich lose more points in the remaining games. This six points gap gives Bayern Munich a good advantage over Leverkusen in the race.

I don't see any comparison of Leverkusen's performance this season to what they did in the German league last season. Leverkusen was an undefeated team last season and from the beginning of the season they performed very well and gradually moved forward and ended the season with good results. Their results in some matches this season seem to be erratic and it is because of their erratic performances that Bayern Munich always have a good chance of winning the league title. To catch up, there is a slight difference in Leverkusen's points with Bayern Munich, and the way Leverkusen is performing, I think for now, their points gap with Bayern Munich will increase. If the points gap increases, the end of the season will see Bayern Munich winning the league title and Leverkusen finishing second or third in the points table.

[cande86]

its a well calculated match because they can get enough points that will sustain them for some time and that is exactly what is supposed to be done, and there are clubs that use this technique very well, and it is always working for them and bayern played a very smart move and even if they dont win all the matches they are still able topping the table and this why consistency is very good.

And even leverkusen are playing really hard to be able to maintain there position and to see if they will surpass bayern munitch and for some time now things are looking a lot different and the six point as given then advantage and it was already something that is planned and this is why i have a lot of confident in bayern winning the bundesliga so there is more advantage than leverkusen.

Is a well-studied game because they can get enough points that will sustain them for a while and that's exactly what should be done. There are clubs that use this technique very well and it works quite well, although not always

Bayern played very intelligently and even if they don't win all the games they still manage to be at the top of the table so it means they use good strategic planning in the use of their energies. As a lay person it seems to me that this is it

Facing Inter is not easy for Munich, especially with their unstable performance and also their doubtful defense, it will be difficult for Munich to beat Inter. We know that Inter is a team that has developed a lot lately with a stable performance, of course Munich must prepare well to destroy Inter.

In this meeting, Munich is very disappointing, especially with the defense they currently have with the main goalkeeper missing due to injury, so the possibility of them falling is 65% in my opinion, and also seeing Kompany's strategy is not good enough to compete in the Champions League, so I will bet on Inter.

[jaberwock]

I think Bayern Munich's failure to get full points in their last match does not need to be considered too much because Bayern Munich is currently still quite comfortable at the top of the standings with a 6-point advantage over Leverkusen who is in 2nd place and also overall Bayern Munich has shown its best performance, it's just that in their last match they were unlucky so for the next match I don't think Bayern Munich will have any difficulties.
This season Bayern Munich's performance and consistency have been quite good since Kompany's arrival, he made many positive changes and on the other hand Leverkusen's performance has also decreased slightly compared to last season so for the Bundesliga title this season I think Bayern Munich's percentage is quite large.

Yeah, people should realize how true this is because we are talking about a much better result here and we can't really change this any other way neither. We have to realize that Bayern Munich is six points ahead, and even with a loss of momentum, now that they already lost points, they will recover and do better and people will not have the right way to grow, which will make it very difficult for them and everyone else.

I can't really put my finger on what makes this better or worse, but Leverkusen had a bad start of the season which I am sure is the main reason why they are second now, if they had a better start to the season then they could have been at the top by now and making Bayern fear them.

We've seen the outstanding performance of these elite performances, they've proven to be always on track and wouldn't relent when it comes to the main league. Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are very much competitive, similar in game pattern because they want the same objective, winning in all directional rounds.

Fingers crossed, mind settled, Bayern Munich are winning the Bundsliga title this season. There's this strong feeling for the Bavarians, they're coming out stronger and wouldn't settled for lesser outcome. Vincent Kompany will make sure his team is not relenting, always fuming out stronger and competitive.

Leverkusen focusing on Bundesliga is an opportunity for to strengthen their performance and again prepare for the next season. Despite their less schedule I still don't believe they can claim back their champion again because bayern Munich have taken over the position and I don't see anything that can stop them from winning the title this season. Bayern Munich eliminated Leverkusen from champions league is also an indication that Leverkusen can do anything to overcome bayern Munich in times of Bundesliga title. I think what they have left in to maintain their position to finish as the best runners-up of the season.  Bundesliga teams still have ten matches to play before the season end, so with this I will still be expecting more changes on the table.

--snipped--

Harry Kane has been very remarkable not only to his team Bayern Munich but also to his country England and he's always on the score board both on International duties and his domestic league.

Yes, it's true, his career in the world of football is indeed very high. with the number of goals he has produced so far both in Bayern Munich and also his national team. Unfortunately, so far, he has not received any Ballon d'Or, only entered the nomination. The competition with other top players from other clubs is indeed very tight.

Leverkusen focusing on Bundesliga is an opportunity for to strengthen their performance and again prepare for the next season. Despite their less schedule I still don't believe they can claim back their champion again because bayern Munich have taken over the position and I don't see anything that can stop them from winning the title this season.

Actually, Leverkusen also still has a chance in DFB-Pokal, because now they have entered the semi-finals. And I'm sure they will win. But for the final, between Stuttgart or Leipzig, it will also be quite challenging. Yes, although the level of difficulty will not be like in the Bundesliga, let alone the UCL.

I agreed with you that even if Leverkusen focuses on the Bundesliga, they can't win it this season. The points difference between them and Bayern Munich is not that much, but I am confident that Bayern Munich will never allow that. In fact, I will say that Bayern Munich is still stronger than Leverkusen.What Leverkusen should do now is target the players they would like to sign for next season to strengthen their team. If Leverkusen had signed more quality players this season, as they did when they won against Bayern last season, they might have had a better chance of winning this season's games. I believe they would have been stronger than they are now.I wish they could get quality players to strengthen their team further. If not, it is possible that it will take Leverkusen a long time before they get another opportunity to win the Bundesliga again.

[Lafu]

Funny enough, all the big teams lost their matches including Borussia Dortmund.
The champions league match may be seen as excuse for such losses which is why I think such will not repeat this week.
So it is a good option to combine few of these matches for good gains.

Its mostly every time the same when Bayern Munich and also Leverkusen are losing there games that the other teams losing there games too.
There was a few chances for all the teams behind them that they can catch up , nobody toke this chances.
This time there are no excuse from the champions league but a few players are injured from there National Teams when they played.
I just know that from Munich are 2 back injured.

I don't see the possibility of Leverkusen winning the title . Leverkusen's performance  is not consistent. And that's why they are behind. Bayern Munich is still 6 points behind Leverkusen. Will Bayern munich lose 6 points in 8 matches ? Maybe bayern  munichen will lose 6 points, but will Leverkusen win all their upcoming matches? This possibility is very low. If Leverkusen's performance is consistent, they had a small chance of becoming Bundesliga champions.

In the upcoming matches , Leverkusen will play against Mainz and Dortmund. These two teams are quite strong. It will be difficult for Leverkusen to win these two matches. Also,  Freiburg and Augsburg are quite strong teams.

If not, it is possible that it will take Leverkusen a long time before they get another opportunity to win the Bundesliga again.

For the results, we'll just have to see at the end of the season, which team will really lift the Bundesliga trophy, because the most important thing right now is how Xabi Alonso can maintain his team's consistency and his players' performance well. Bayern Leverkusen must not lose until the season really ends, regardless of whether in the middle of the journey Bayern Leverkusen can shift Bayern Munich from the top position or not, the most important thing is that Leverkusen has shown that they are always strong competitors in winning the Bundesliga title.

And regarding your opinion that Leverkusen is currently better off focusing on targeting and recruiting new talents to strengthen their team, it needs to be understood that even though Bayer Leverkusen's financial condition is currently quite good, but to be able to compete in the transfer market to get the best players with high transfer values, I think Leverkusen's finances are not strong enough to be able to do that. Therefore, Xabi Alonso's current focus as a coach is how to maximize the potential of existing players, and help young players who are currently in the team to deepen their talents, improve their abilities and help them to reach their best performance.
