Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[AYOBA]

Leverkusen and Dortmund may want to fight for the title next season. If they want to fight for the title, both of these teams should strengthen their squads. If the squads are not strengthened, it will be very difficult for Dortmund and Leverkusen to continue fighting for the Bundesliga title.

This season Leverkusen's performances were weak compared to their last season's performances, when they were able to remain unbeaten throughout the season. Even though Leverkusen and Dortmund fight for the title next season, with how the Leverkusen squad was able to play well in the middle of this season, I still have hope that Dortmund can not bring them down next season.

Dortmund's performance was very weak at the beginning of this season. Especially Dortmund's defense was weak. That's why the team conceded a lot of goals. Dortmund will definitely need to take the necessary steps to strengthen their defense next season if they are to challenge for the title.

We all know that this season Dortmund tried their possible best by conceding a lot of goals, but that doesn’t give you hope that they can be able to have the same capability to fight Leverkusen next season. Because Leverkusen is a team that always makes sure they bring out the best results against their opponents.

I don't see Leverkusen still playing at the top next season now that xavi Alonso is not in the team again alot of things are going to change because a new coach is coming that means a new style of play change in mentality and this is going to impact negatively on the performance of Leverkusen next season in the league


But as for Dortmund I see them doing well next season because this season they where very bad and they where able to pick up form towards the ending of the season so I expect that they can give bayern munich a fight for the title but Dortmund has not been a threat to bayern munich ever since so I don't see Dortmund doing better than the way that they have been playing other seasons maybe finishing second in the table

Even though Leverkusen and Dortmund fight for the title next season, with how the Leverkusen squad was able to play well in the middle of this season, I still have hope that Dortmund can not bring them down next season.

Everyone understands that this season was difficult for Leverkusen, they were unbeaten in the league last season and won the Bundesliga, and Xabi Alonso broke another record this season, they did not lose any game away from home this season, and they remained unbeaten in all of their away matches. However, Dortmund can surpass Leverkusen next season because Dortmund made it to the next Champions League in their last game of the season.

We all know that this season Dortmund tried their possible best by conceding a lot of goals, but that doesn’t give you hope that they can be able to have the same capability to fight Leverkusen next season. Because Leverkusen is a team that always makes sure they bring out the best results against their opponents.

Dortmund conceded a lot of goals this season, and we can expect some changes from them next season. I don't think this will be the same Dortmund that struggles to gain a point until the last game of the season. Remember that Ten Hags will manage Leverkusen next season, Xabi Alonso will no longer be their manager, and you can expect a lot of changes in their games. If Leverkusen can finish in the top four next season, they might be lucky.

Bayer Leverkusen is not a weak team, but we can’t underrate Dortmund. Next season hasn’t come yet you already predicting how Bayer Leverkusen’s performance will be? I will say they are going to be at the top, but they changed their manager, and for that reason I can’t say Bayer Leverkusen will be the same could either increase or decrease because the manager will come with his own style of play, and changing their manager makes me think otherwise till I see how the new coach performs. That is why we will know if they are at the top.

We all know that this season Dortmund tried their possible best by conceding a lot of goals, but that doesn’t give you hope that they can be able to have the same capability to fight Leverkusen next season. Because Leverkusen is a team that always makes sure they bring out the best results against their opponents.

Let's see then, Bayer Leverkusen is not a weak team, and their new coach won’t want their performance to be lesser than this season’s own; rather, they should be better, so let's see what will happen next season. Dortmund will also be ready for next season because we’ve seen their performance this season, and they’ve done a great job too.

In modern football money is very important because teams can buy quality players so they can support the success process achieved by the club, unless the team has academy players and they have the skills to change the competitive landscape in the League. Leverkusen are not one of the teams that are financially focused and maybe this team also does not have the big finances to make a long term project so what needs to be done is to use each player's sale to buy other players. Ten Hag's presence is expected to maintain what Xabi Alonso has done and even though it is difficult, they deserve to give the Dutch coach a chance.

Money is significant because with money you get exactly what you want, and the reason why most people struggle is that they are looking for cheap things that do not last, and they will not help you. And this is why sometimes clubs need to get more talented players than the previous ones, because you will want a player that you will get results from and not a player that will drag you back, and that is what makes the transfer window very active because people are looking for ways and opportunities to get players that are better than the existing ones in their clubs. And if there is one thing I love about Leverkusen, it is the activity they show every season, and at some point, they were challenging Bayern for the position, and it was very lovely.

No, Leverkusen don't look weak this season, it's just that Munich aren't as weak as last season. Munich have some quality players and that's why it's hard for Leverkusen to compete like last season.
When it comes to the upcoming season, I'm honestly a little skeptical about Ten Hag. I don't doubt the coach but I'm worried that Leverkusen will lose their best form.

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

I don't think that new Bayern Leverkusen coach Eric Ten Hag will consider signing any player from Manchester United because most of those players contributed to Ten Hag's misfortune when he was coaching the club, why will him sign any of them now that he has become Bayern Leverkusen new boss. ETH understands the situation of Manchester United and since Xabi Alonso has developed a good number of players at Bayern Leverkusen, it will be a disappointment to add players that cannot match the energy of the already existing players and Eric Ten Hag should be careful not to ruin the legacy of Xabi Alonso at Bayern Leverkusen before his departure to Real Madrid. Manchester United players cannot be suitable for ETH at Bayern Leverkusen, he rather sort for players elsewhere.

Names like Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Andre Onana who were ETH's mainstays when coaching Manchester United, are now rumored to be moving to Bayern Leverkusen. Regarding Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, although currently under the tutelage of Ruben Amorin their performance has dimmed, but with their young age, I think both players can still develop, especially when they get the right coach. As for goalkeeper Andre Onana, personally I have lost confidence in the goalkeeper, although before moving to Man United he performed quite well when he was still playing for Inter Milan, even with his team he was able to bring Inter to the UCL final in the 2023 season.

Leverkusen has some big problems to solve. Tah is gone, Wirtz, Frimpong, the coach Alonso of course, I don't know who else will leave, but this is serious change going on.

In addition to the players and coach Xabi Alonso, now their mainstay striker Patrik Schick is also rumored to be moving to an English club, because currently Arsenal, Chelsea and several other English clubs are interested in bringing him in. He is a young player who is hungry for goals, he has performed very consistently, so the hope will be better if Leverkusen chooses to keep him.

I disagree with you, Bayer Leverkusen was weak this season because Bayern Munich was no the only team they faced this season that made them end up not getting any trophy. Bayern Munich got better and wasn't in poor form like last season and Leverkusen became weak as they couldn't win matches that was expected of them to win.

Xabi Alonso is out of the team with Ten Hag brought in as his replacement untill the team is in better shape I can not rate Ten Hag well because he failed as a Manchester United coach.

There are going to be some big changes in the Leverkusen squad. This season we did not get the expected good performance from Leverkusen. The team could not compete for the title. they were 13 points behind from Munich

I will say the biggest loss for Leverkusen is Xabi Alonso leaving. The management has appointed Ten Hag as Xabi's replacement. However, since Ten Hag was unsuccessful with Manchester United, yes he is great, but they cannot rely on Ten Hag. Moreover, if they want to do well next season, it is important to strengthen the squad. But does the Leverkusen management have enough money to strengthen the squad?

Ok, let’s wait and see the next season if Dortmund make able to make some changes since you’re trying to use the goals they conceded this season to judge them in the next coming season. And the word football is not about that, because it can change over time. It might even happen as you make them proud now that they might do much better next season, but you never know what their outcomes will be yet, so never underestimate them, mate.

Although a new manager always brings new changes for a team, that’s why a lot of people’s opinions about the Leverkusen performances next season that they will be much different since Xabi Alonso is no longer their manager again. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to make the next season a success for them; Ten Hag can definitely work hard to make the team very competitive next season.

If Leverkusen can finish in the top four next season, they might be lucky.

In the last two seasons, Dortmund's focus has not always been on the Bundesliga at the beginning of the season. Toward the end, they always shift their focus to the Bundesliga, and that is the reason why they often perform better in the Champions League than in the Bundesliga, where they always struggle to make the top four. Dortmund have not been performing like this in the Bundesliga before.

If Dortmund do not give most of their focus to the Champions League next season, I believe there will be changes, and Dortmund may possibly compete for the Bundesliga title. However, if they continue to focus mainly on the Champions League, their form in the Bundesliga will likely remain the same unless they add more quality players to strengthen the team.

Without that, I can't say much, but I will not be expecting any special performances from them.and for byer leverkusen i did not expect much great performances from them but let just see what will happen maybe ten hag will have better seasons with leverkusen and not be like it experience in manchester united.

[Agbamoni]

Even though Cesc Fabregas is not coaching Como, which is owned by a rich man, it is not even right for Cesc Fabregas to be in a hurry to leave Como and join Bayer Leverkusen because he just started his coaching career, and Cesc Fabregas needs to stay at Como and gain more experience about coaching so that he can be able to perform well in any club he will coach next.

What do you mean by "he just started his career"? I was watching the news today where a military guy Lance Corporal Alexander Kennedy displayed an act of bravery six months after joining the military. He was just 18 years old when he saved his Capt. and other soldiers from danger. What I'm saying in essence is how long you are into that path doesn't define your success. If you have potential you will excel.

Fabregas has shown he is capable, I support his move to Bayern Leverkusen and I also believe he will do well.

When it comes to the upcoming season, I'm honestly a little skeptical about Ten Hag. I don't doubt the coach but I'm worried that Leverkusen will lose their best form.

Compared to the previous season their performance has declined slightly, this season they have had quite a lot of draws with 12 draws and 3 losses, while in the previous season they really performed extraordinarily, namely not only undefeated but also very few draws with only 6 draws.

And Alonso is a coach who has succeeded in improving the team's performance, but the surprising news is that he has to go to Real Madrid. Of course, the departure of this coach raises its own concerns about whether the performance of his players can survive and improve, and I think this is the background to why Bayer Leverkusen chose to release more of its players and rebuild the team under the guidance of its new coach Erik Ten Hag. And I do not expect more that next season Leverkusen can compete at the top of the Bundesliga and in the Champions League.

I didn't pay attention that the relegation play-offs second leg was already played and that Heidenheim has suffered until the last minutes of the game to stay in 1.Bundesliga. That wasn't the best finish of their season, yet it remains a victory after all.
Koln and Hamburg promoted to 1.Bundesliga and from what I saw, they will not last long with the same players and tactics. Schalke 04 and Hertha Berlin are two known teams of the league that failed to step to the first half of the ranking table of 2.Bundesliga. It was very disappointing from them, I was waiting to see them closer to the top positions if not promoted..

[SatoPrincess]

Ten Hag has already said his first words "We want to play attractive, dominant and exciting football". But we don't know yet how he will act in the transfer window, the departure of star players will definitely affect Leverkusen performance next season. Leverkusen will definitely be quite active in recruiting new players, Ten Hag will try to build his ideal squad depth, I think he will spend a lot of budget like at Man United.

Leverkusen only managed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League this season, Ten Hag might be able to take it further next season. But all that will not be easy, Ten Hag must go through an adaptation phase, which of course will take time. In the meantime, I think Ten Hag can easily understand the dynamics of competition in the Bundesliga, they will compete with Bayern Munchen, and I hope Dortmund will also be involved in the competition for trophies next season.

Certainly the departure of some crucial players in the team would have a negative effect on the team but if Ten Hag and his team are able to sign the right players they could even further strengthen and improve their squad to be good enough to battle for the league title next season. I hope he doesn't repeat same transfer strategy he used at United here with Leverkusen.

As much as I agree with you, you know at some point someone has to kickstart his or her career from somewhere and Bayern Leverkusen might be just one of those clubs that he can use to spice up his coaching curriculum vitae. Bayern Leverkusen is an upgrade to Como and this might further project his career to possible bigger clubs around Europe. I read a rumour that Ten Hang has been contacted by Bayern Leverkusen and I don't how true that is but sooner or later we will know who's where and whose not.

Benjamin Šeško has a contract until June 30, 2029, but with Leipzig's terrible situation, playing for Arsenal will be a good option for him, because he will play in a good league and in the European Champions League.

Over time, Leipzig's ranking has indeed declined. In 2022/2023 they were even able to enter the top 3, and dropped in 2023-2024 by finishing in 4th place, but this was still quite good because they were still able to qualify for the UCL. However, this season, yes, they have declined quite a lot, Leipzig could only finish in 7th place, even out of the Conference League.

And yeah, it was the right decision for Benjamin Šeško to move to Arsenal, Arsenal are trying to get this one striker, even though the price is quite high. It's £92.5m and is included as one of the sensation signatures.

No, Leverkusen don't look weak this season, it's just that Munich aren't as weak as last season. Munich have some quality players and that's why it's hard for Leverkusen to compete like last season.

We can't deny that Leverkusen is weaker in this season. Meanwhile Bayern Munich becomes stronger under Kompany's management. Regarding the squad quality, I don't see significant change. It is only about the decline of Leverkusen performance. Other teams in Bundesliga may be improved their performance, they also may know better Xabi's tactic. So they can deal with Leverkusen game this season.

When it comes to the upcoming season, I'm honestly a little skeptical about Ten Hag. I don't doubt the coach but I'm worried that Leverkusen will lose their best form.

Ten Hag is actually one of top coaches, he also won some trophies already. There is nothing wrong with his quality as a coach. I think we don't need to underestimate him. Let's see first how he can manage Leverkusen in the few early matches next season. Now, it is not the right time to judge him!

Certainly the departure of some crucial players in the team would have a negative effect on the team but if Ten Hag and his team are able to sign the right players they could even further strengthen and improve their squad to be good enough to battle for the league title next season.

So far, only Jonathan Tah is leaving the team. It is because he doesn't get a contract extension. However, there is no big problem because Leverkusen has enough players in the defense line. As far as Florian Wirtz stays in Leverkusen, I think Ten Hag still can expect for the competitive team. But the problem is Florian Wirtz seems to leave. Ten Hag must be ready to sign a new player who can be the right replacement for him.

Leverkusen is like a one-season wonder team. Their performance last season was truly invisible. If only they had won the UEL then they would have become the first team in history to achieve an invisible treble where they became champions without being defeated in all competitions. After that magical season ended people have started to analyze Alonso's tactics well and that makes Leverkusen this season look weaker than the previous season. Plus some of their star players have moved to other clubs. Basically Leverkusen is not a team with qualified individual quality but Alonso managed to make them a solid team. Leverkusen's weakness is that they will be weak when under pressure from one man marking like Atalanta did last season.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Yes, the Dutch manager may deserve a chance. Bayer Leverkusen has signed him at the moment and must be confident in his abilities. He had a few good seasons with Ajax and went to Manchester United as a coach in form. He fell short of expectations at Manchester United and had some real problems. He also had similar problems with the players. This was his biggest criticism. Leverkusen is a team that is still dreaming of winning the championship. I hope Ten Hag will be a coach who can contribute to that.

The decision taken by Leverkusen was right because Xabi Alonso's departure to Real Madrid needed a coach who could understand Leverkusen's overall style and although Ten Haq had not succeeded in handling Manchester United, he had a good record when he was a coach Ajax. The English League is slightly different from other leagues and that is why Ten Haq failed and did not fulfill expectations when he was a Manchester United coach because the competition there was quite competitive and a number of players he had were also not in good performance.
