Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Velvet78]

Antony could be a decent addition, considering his impressive performance on loan to Real Betis.
But do we know if Man United is even interested in selling him? I've read somewhere that Betis is interested in signing him but United don't want to give him away for cheap.

If United's manager, Amorim, decided he would rather keep him. I don't think Leverkusen's owners would be willing to make a convincing offer. They might be getting a fortune for Wirtz, but they would probably prefer to keep most of it for the future, rather than splash it out instantly.

How much does Manchester United want for Antony? Normally his market value is 20 million euros and I don't think he is worth more than that now. 

While he has a good chemistry with Betis, the Spanish side is doing good by going after him. But probably Leverkusen will offer more.

And I assume he would also choose to play in the Champions League with them.

[Nanga Parbat]

Leverkusen can actually finish in the top four position next season despite selling some of their players because Ten Hag is a good manager, maybe he is been underrated because of his performance in Manchester United, and if we looked at it generally, he won two trophies for the team, and there are internal problems in Manchester United management which is why even Amorim couldn’t achieve anything for the team in his first season.

This season Leverkusen played poorly at the beginning of the season, but in the middle of the season they tried to package their performances and make the team standard, and still they refused to get what they wanted in the league. Because their goal this season is to turn their performances into something special for the league, like what they did in previous seasons, but it was not happen because they did not package well enough right from the beginning, that’s why their performances went wrong. What you stated earlier is on point. I also thought as much—that Leverkusen will try by all means to make sure they finish in the top four in the next coming season with the way they put in effort and turn their performances into the best at the end of competitions.

Leverkusen football team work hard in this season because they always tried to win the match . Leverkusen team players were in good condition and they played with full confidence. Schick was a person who did two goals against Mainz football team in the last match.  But match was not ended with any result because both teams played well and we saw excellent effort by Schick and he saved his team from loss . Nebel did first goal of the match and he did this goal in the first half. There were many players who tried to do goals in this match but only 3 persons became successful to do goals in this match.Schick did 2 goals in the second half of the match and match was ended with result of draw .

Anything is possible, but Bayern Munich will build their team again. I’m expecting Bayern Munich to be stronger than their current performance. If you are talking of the transfer window, Bayern Munich are better than Bayer Leverkusen at getting new players, as you already know, and for this reason I’m expecting Bayern Munich to be stronger next season.

Next season is going to be tough because Bayer Leverkusen will want to get to the top of the league table by next season, while Bayern Munich are already there and stronger. It’s football; let's see what will happen.

It's football but the reality of it is that, a big team in a league is always a big team. Bayern Munich was outperformed the season Bayern Leverkusen won the league and they took it as a challenge to bring it back to Allianz Arena. I don't think Bayern Leverkusen will get the kind of chance they had while Alonso was there, Bayern Munich saw the mistake they made and decided to act of which it paid off and they win back the league. They will definitely strengthen the squad further in this transfer window to avoid any other Bundesliga team from contending against them, that's my opinion on this.

Not only is Schick an important player in the Leverkusen squad but Xabi Alonso has built this team quite evenly in all lines even though Schick often becomes Leverkusen's savior with the goal contributions he creates.
Leverkusen is actually still at the same level but Xabi Alonso's cool hand can change everything with the tactics he applies which can create a team performance that is quite strong and consistent.

For next season Leverkusen also has the same level of players and the same team finances, so I doubt a little that Ten Hag can concoct the same strategy as Xabi Alonso to maintain the team's performance.

This season Bayern Munich are much better than Leverkusen so there will be no big changes in terms of the title race. Bayern Munich also still have the advantage in the quality of the players they have, both in utilizing the current transfer market to recruit new players and the number of players they have now. Kompany managed to make Bayern Munich dominate the Bundesliga again and for sure next season they will try to maintain it.

It is different with Leverkusen because after Xabi Alonso left, now they will start a new era with Ten Hag and the number of players who have left for other clubs also caused a little problem. Ten Hag will not adapt easily and I am not sure they can match Bayern Munich in terms of the title race.

Yes, Xabi Alonso's cool hand is indeed unquestionable, which has a big influence on Leverkusen's success in competing in the Bundesliga in the last two years. Xabi Alonso with a squad that could be said to be mediocre became extraordinary because he played solidly and strongly. Xabi Alonso is also smart in building relationships while in the dressing room, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid is interested in him and with a heavy heart Alonso accepted the offer.

For next season Leverkusen also has the same level of players and the same team finances, so I doubt a little that Ten Hag can concoct the same strategy as Xabi Alonso to maintain the team's performance.

Erik ten hag is actually a potential coach, this was also seen when he previously coached man united, because for me seeing a man united coach is indeed a bit difficult because coaching man united is very difficult because it has complex problems. Now it is different coaching Leverkusen which of course does not have the pressure that man united has. Therefore, I am sure that in the hands of erik ten hag, leverkusen will remain consistent and be able to compete with bayern munich. However, I also doubt Erik ten hag to get a trophy because this is his first season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Erik Ten Hag is a coach that likes to work with the players he has coached in his previous clubs. I wouldn't be surprised if Erik Ten Hag performs the same way he performed at Manchester United at Bayer Leverkusen.

I thought that, but ever since he messed with CR7 and said he wouldn't put him in to play, I told myself that guy was a total idiot. How could you not put a teammate in to play just because you don't like him? It's like me saying about Real Madrid that Yamal is bad just because he's from Barcelona, It's immaturity, and that's exactly what I see in Ten Hag. I hope he doesn't take Leverkusen for the losses and put them in the same position as Mu.

The biggest opponent Ten Hag had in his coaching career was himself and his ego. It is exactly as you pointed out with the Yamal example, it is dumb. But he couldn't get over himself and wanted that fight against Ronaldo at all cost. He was the beginning of the end for Manchester United because what he left behind was one of the worst Manchester United teams there have ever been.

What strikes me as odd now is that Leverkusen made the experience how important it is to have a coach with strong communication skills and no ego problems. Now that Alonso leaves them, the best idea they come up with is ten Hag? What the heck, I wonder why they would do that...

Ten Hag is as much the opposite of Alonso as he could be, there are literally zero similarities between the two coaches. I think it is a mistake, but who knows maybe it is owed to the fact that not too many coaches are available at all.

Personal, I have always felt that Leverkusen is a team that lacks consistency. Right now if we look at the team has secured itself in the front four. But if we look at their performance they were not very good at beginning, when they went to the middle their performance improved to some extent and then they improved a little. These are the things that affect your consistency a little. But a good team always makes a place for itself. The performance of Manchester United was as everyone who wanted to see it thought that the biggest factor in their failure was their position, because the coach is a person who has to manage the game of his team to a great extent. But if we look at it a little deeper, the management of Manchester United also had a lot of internal problems. Maybe that is why they could not perform at their full potential, but this review of them continues or they are good for themselves. It can be said that they can take the title, but it has only gone with time.

[free-bit.co.in]

Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season shows that their good performance will keep declining, and they can't challenge for the Bundesliga title in seasons to come, so I won't be surprised if Bayer Leverkusen fails to finish in the top four next season. There was serious competition in the race for the top four in the Bundesliga this season. If Bayer Leverkusen fails to improve their performance next season, they may face difficulty in finishing in the top four.

The dust settles & glow is fading

Last year unbeaten Meisterschale competition & 51 matches unbeaten streak is a fairy tale now.
They lost many things this season, sacrificed DFB-Pokal to third-tier Arminia. Falling out from UCL after a 5–0 aggregate defeat to Munich. On the other hand, Domestic matches aren't so sweet, solid eight points behind the Bavarians, and also lost Xabi Alonso, who challenged Munich for the Bundesliga title last season.

Leverkusen is going to sell several players in its squad. And as a result, their squad will become even weaker. Wirtz is not in Die Werkself next season, it is almost certain

[Lida93]

If you are thinking that Erik Ten Hag will sign players and build Bayer Leverkusen to challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title, I think you are mistaken because when it comes to signing good players, I think Bayern Munich has a good advantage over Bayer Leverkusen because Bayern Munich has the money to splash to get the quality players they want. For the fact that Xabi Alonso left Bayer Leverkusen and Bayer Leverkusen sold some of their good players to other clubs, I now see Bayer Leverkusen as a club that can finish in the top four next season.

Erik Ten Hag now has the chance to prove the critics wrong about their perception of his football tactics, though the bundesliga is not as strong as the premier League but there's still the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund whom will always be there to contend with bayer Leverkusen, perhaps he might build a strong team that would probably replicate all the achievements of Xabi Alonso, because he cannot afford to fail in his new assignment.

[Slow death]

Bayern will not renew Leroy Sané's contract, It seems that Saudi clubs are interested in him and also Galatasaray, but it was Fenerbahçe that already sent an official proposal.

Fenerbahçe have sent official bid to Leroy Sané to join them as free agent.

Bayern won't miss him much, I hope Bayern can make good signings if they want to win the European Champions League, the focus for next season should be on creating a squad with the objective of winning the European Champions League, because I believe we will win the Bundesliga again mainly because Leverkusen will be weakened and Dortmund, despite having improved, I don't see them as a strong barrier that would prevent Bayern from winning the title.

The big question is what would be considered a success for Ten Hag? Would defending their runner-up position or finishing 3rd or 4th (so still in Champions League places) be satisfying, or is Leverkusen seriously aiming to dethrone Bayern again? If the latter, a good manager might not be enough. The club owners must be willing to invest in the squad just like Bayern is.
Right now, we all know that there's a wide acceptance of Bayern being the hegemon, while all other clubs are very much interested in trading their biggest talents for big money rather than trying to retain them.
But yeah, I'm also curious about how the team will perform under Ten Hag's leadership, I hope he will set them up more offensively than Man United under his rule.

Next season is going to be tough because Bayer Leverkusen will want to get to the top of the league table by next season, while Bayern Munich are already there and stronger. It’s football; let's see what will happen.

As far as Bayern Munich was able to won the Bundesliga this season, I believe they will sign more quality players to strengthen their team so they can compete in more competitions next season. In fact, even with the current squad, they are still capable of winning the Bundesliga. Currently, I don’t think any team in the Bundesliga has the set of players that Bayern Munich has. All they need is determination and hard work to achieve their goals.

Yes, next season may be tough, or maybe not, because we don’t know how Leverkusen will perform. They just got a new coach, Ten Hag, and I’m not expecting much from him in his first season in the Bundesliga, given the current set of players Leverkusen has. Another reason I say it may be tough is that Dortmund may serious contenders for the Bundesliga title next season, along with other teams that we may not expects.

[len01]

Currently, I don’t think any team in the Bundesliga has the set of players that Bayern Munich has. All they need is determination and hard work to achieve their goals.

Exactly. Munich is one of the best teams with some quality players at the moment. Leverkusen initially had Wirtz being a quality and reliable player. But it looks like Wirtz will leave Leverkusen and the team has a new pressure when Ten Hag comes to coach as you said.

I think Munich don't need to think too much about signing too many players. Just focus on bringing in quality defenders to strengthen the defense. Because I saw Munich had a little weakness in the defender position last season.

Bayern Munich's ambitions go far beyond just the Bundesliga. I think there is hardly any chance for those other teams to beat Bayern in the Bundesliga. I am not talking about a single game, but now that Leverkusen is falling apart, players are leaving and the coach is gone, I think it is unlikely that Bayern Munich will see some fierce competition. They will ultimately win the Bundesliga, but their goal certainly is to reach the CL final again. It was tough for them to miss it this season since it would have been in their home stadium, but Inter Milan played it well and deserved it. This is high on their agenda to be competitive again next season. In the Bundesliga I don't think there is a team that can get close to the 80 points mark, which is what Bayern will probably achieve.

Let's see how Ten Hag tries to break Bayern Munich dominance, who knows Leverkusen will succeed again for the second time. Florian Wirtz will almost certainly leave this summer to Liverpool, and that will leave a big hole in Ten Hag's squad. With Liverpool having made a new offer, it seems that a deal will be reached in the near future. Bayern Munich only need to polish the depth of their squad, recruiting two or three additional players as rotation options. Apart from the defense, Kompany might look for a replacement for Muller, that will make them better next season. We hope that the competition in the Bundesliga next season will be even more competitive, not only Leverkusen and Bayern Munich competing for the trophy.

Erik ten Hag is a pretty good manager. Take a good look at his Ajax days,  he had no such issues with communication and whatever they say about ego. Interviews with his players also confirmed that. He did well during he first season with Manchester United, one thing people should know is that he has the best winning rates after Sir Alex Ferguson. That said, I'm one hundred percent certain he will be successful with Bayern Leverkusen.

[Velvet78]

Currently, I don’t think any team in the Bundesliga has the set of players that Bayern Munich has. All they need is determination and hard work to achieve their goals.

I would agree with that of course. This is why the work Xabi Alonso did in the 23/24 season was incredible.    It isn't easy to put up such a fight against dominant teams of the biggest European leagues normally.

Bayern Munich has such a powerful squad that even Kompany won the Bundesliga easily despite having no experience of managing a top team. Their weak side was seen in the Champions League but it can be improved in time.

He is good at strategy and could possibly repeat the success as a Leverkusen coach like he did at Ajax. When he was a Manchester United coach he might not have seen the success as expected but we need to see how the Premier League is different from the Bundesliga and Ajax. In the Bundesliga itself, only Bayern Munich often dominates the League and vice versa in the Dutch League so it will not be so difficult to get success at Leverkusen, although for the first season it will not be easy for him to chase the Bundesliga trophy.
