Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Lidger]

That is very good way to look at next season in Bundesliga. It is likely that Dortmund will finish in top four but most interesting part will be fight for second place. You are right that there is big difference in strength between Bayern Munich and rest of league. This could give Dortmund chance to finish second if they have strong season. However as you mentioned teams like Leipzig and others are serious competitors. Race for top spots below Bayern is going to be very tough and those teams will definitely be challenge for both Dortmund and Bayern next season.

I will not be surprised if eventually Bayern Munich looses out on this seasons Bundesliga title but with leipzig, and Dortmund I do not have a particular, they both frequent the top four positions on the table often, it will be almost like a norm if it happens that both of them eventually finishes top four or even either of them but with the title Leverkusen even looks more viable than this other two for the title.

I would be very surprised if Bayern Munich does not retain the league title this season because all the teams that are currently Bayern Munich's opponents in the German league have not been performing very well recently, so it will be relatively easy for Bayern Munich to retain the German league title this season. Bayern Munich's performance can be doubted in some aspects because this season Bayern Munich's important players have left for other clubs, on the contrary, Bayern Munich has not recruited any good quality players in their place. If multiple injuries occur in the current Bayern Munich team after the season starts, it may have a bad effect on their good performance, which will show that they are not able to perform as well as they are supposed to.

Hopefully, such an accident will not happen to Bayern Munich and they will finish the German league with 100% success next season.

Isn't Dortmund quite silent in the transfer market this summer? 

In:

- Jobe Bellingham
- Yan Couto
- Daniel Svensson

Out:

- Jamie Gittens
- Coulibaly
- Moukoko

I thought Kovac would like to make some more changes in the squad. He was the one helping the team recover last season so the board must be fully trusting him now.

They sold Gittens for 56 million euros. Really good money. But they must already be quite strong financially. Do you think the current squad is good enough to finish in top 4? Or even top 2?

Does any team have a chance to stop Bayern Munich from winning the league this season? Even though the season hasn't started yet, based on the clubs performances in the preseason games, I don't think Bayern Munich will lose the Bundesliga. Any team can win the league, even though there isn't a weak team at right now, Dortmund and Leipzig are both capable of finishing in the top four, but Leipzig may struggle this season since they’ve sold several of their best players.

On the other hand, I do not believe Leverkusen has what it takes to defend the title this season. You believe in Leverkusen even though you are aware that Ten Hag is the new manager. The only team I'm hoping for to win the league again this season is Bayern Munich, the other teams are going to compete for the top four, and it would be very disappointing if Bayern Munich did not maintain their winning ways. The league starts tomorrow.

I think no one has any doubts about the performance of Bayern Munich and about the team's strongest part. Bayern Munich maintain their team in a way that they remain strong in any circumstances. But, it doesn't mean that the other teams are not capable or do not have the potential. There are too many good teams in the German league which are always trying to do their best. Some people say that other teams are not that strong so it will be very easy for Bayern Munich this time to win the Bundesliga. I think Dortmunds struggles are appreciating as they are more willing to perform the best. So, the chances of winning depend on the hard work and the potential of the team. Bayern Munich will win due to their strengths. And the other team also has the capability to fight in a good way.

It's possible to stop Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso exposed them, but I don't think any team can do that this season I'm not judging by the Pre-season matches though cause some clubs don't take it too seriously to avoid injuries ahead of the new season, I just have this strong feeling that Bayern Munich would still dominate their league this season.
 
 Erik Ten Hag is the coach I would've said that would be capable of winning the league but after what he did at Manchester United I don't see that happening the only man capable is out and coaching Madrid thereby giving Bayern Munich more chances to win consecutively.

In their last friendly game before the start of the season Leverkusen have lost to Chelsea 2-0. The game was a total dominance by Chelsea with ball possession of 70% and 24 shots on goal (9 on target) Vs. Leverkusen's only 4 shots (2 on target).
Judging by this game alone, things are not looking very bright for Ten Haag's team.
They further strengthened their squad in the recent days by completing acquisition of goalkeeper Janis Blaswich (Leipzig) and right winger Ernest Poku (AZ Alkmaar). We'll see if that will make any difference.
Tomorrow they are playing against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach (a Regional League club) in the first round of the DFB Pokal. Anything other than a convincing win by Bayer will be a red flag.

Ten Hag is lucky that Bayer plays at home against relegation contenders Hoffenheim in the first round. It would be hard to imagine an easier start. But then there will be Werder away and Eintracht at home - these are serious games that will help us understand what the team is capable of. At the moment, bookmakers rate Bayer as a confident top-2 favorite. I usually trust the bookies but I think Ten Hag has a lot of potential to surprise

Comparing Bayern Munich's strength with other teams', the difference is quite significant. Bayern Munich is dominated by high-quality, big-name players, while other teams have relatively sold their star players in the transfer market. Bayern Munich certainly won't waste any opportunity in every match, chasing points to defend their title this season.

Other teams' performances aren't particularly bad, but to compete with Bayern Munich, they will certainly need to perform at their best, perhaps making it difficult for them this season. Xabi Alonso's departure from Leverkusen certainly means Leverkusen will have to start a new era with a new coach. Surprises are always a possibility in football, but in the Bundesliga, they are rare, as Bayern Munich dominates everything compared to their rivals.

Dortmund may later become the threat we may need to fear in the Bundesliga but for now they look like they are not to be dreaded and everyone is looking at them with that taught, I know Bayern Munich is getting even better by the day but I feel paying attention to these other teams who has been given lesser attention may matter at a point so when they begin with the brilliant performances it does not look really unexpected.

Bayern Munich is a strong team as far as the Bundesliga competition is concerned. In fact, Bayern Munich is the strongest club in the Bundesliga competition. There is no other team that does better than Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Looking at how the team performance went in the pre-season matches, seriously, I will say Bayern Munich has the potential to win the trophy again this season.

However, we are waiting for the season to start before giving Bayern Munich too much hope of winning the league. We still have Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand; they are beasts too, and they can surprise us.

Leverkusen will play Sonnenhof in the German Cup today. This match won't be a tough one for them. I expect them to win comfortably. There will also be a final between Stuttgart and Bayern, which will be Bayern's last tough match of the preseason. Stuttgart want to win the Super Cup. They'll give Bayern a tough time. However, considering the difference between the teams, I think Bayern will win.

Bayern Munich performance isn't just beginning, it started from previous season and with the latest upgrade in the squad, my expectations is that Bayern Munich will finish the season in first place and cleared off with big difference in points. Other teams in the Bundesliga are trying to fix their squad, they are not yet ready to compete. Bayer Leverkusen against Chelsea, despite club friendly we did see that Leverkusen are still missing some pieces and will take them some time to pick up before coming back to compete.

[IceLincoln]

Bayern pre-matches result.

Bayern 2 - 1 Lyon
Bayern 4 - 0 Tottenham

To conclude, give Bundesliga title to them. I don't see any other club that can fight him for the title at this moment. If you ask me how much their chance to win the title, and i surely say they have 100% chance to win it. I know others may argue it's a pre-season, but don't forget massive result in pre-season represent how capable they are in winning the title.
Especially, we're talking about Bundesliga, not EPL.

As long as the Bundesliga is concerned Bayern Munich face no competition winning the league title. Bayer Leverkusen just had a one season wonder that made them champions and now Bayern are back at their best to continue their dominance in the Bundesliga, I see them winning and retaining the league title again next season.

It’s back to Status quo in the bundesliga, I just wish other teams can sit up and give Bayern a run for the title, Borussia Dortmund who’s expected to be in that discussion often behave like Arsenal in the Premier League. Bayer Leverkusen who would have also given them a tough time has lost both manager and key players, the only thing that will stop Bayern is just Bayern itself or maybe another team with a one season wonder performance.
The upcoming Bundesliga opener between Bayern and Leipzig will likely go in the favour of Bayern Munchen unless Leipzig decides to take the bull by the horn, they have quite good players.

Other teams could capitalize if Bayern Munich loses control, as they did in the 2023/2024 season. Sometimes the Bundesliga can be boring without a strong title contender. Again, Bayern Munich are a force to be reckoned with, but that's their skill in building a squad, as they have sufficient financial resources to afford quality players.
Dortmund also struggles to compete with Bayern; they sometimes perform well, but they often drop points in crucial matches.

Similarly, Leverkusen, under Erik ten Hag's guidance, we saw their performance against Chelsea. Nothing stood out, especially since Leverkusen recently sold a star player in this transfer window. Of course, their strength won't be as strong as last season. But we need to see Erik's performance in the Bundesliga, as he is known as a stubborn coach, and whether he can bring significant changes to Leverkusen this season.

I also think the same about several other teams in the Bundesliga and other leagues, because when a team is rarely favored and doesn't sit still and makes a comeback, there's certainly something surprising about them. And I also hope Dortmund can pull off a more interesting surprise in the Bundesliga this season and in the next, because it will still be quite difficult to pull off surprises and overall dominance in the Bundesliga this season. One reason is that Bayern Munich is still very strong this season.

[TelolettOm]

Isn't Dortmund quite silent in the transfer market this summer? 

None, even though I searched for a few rumors about them, there were none. There were no rumors regarding Dortmund signing another great player for this transfer market. Instead, I heard rumors about their central midfielder, Marcel Sabitzer, being linked to Fenerbahce. However, no further discussion about this.

It's not that the opponents are performing poorly, but rather that no one will be able to stand up to Bayern again. As for the opponents, I believe the opposite is true. Last season, Leverkusen played quite well, but Bayern was also at its best, so there was nothing that could be done against them. I won't be surprised if Bayern wins again and starts dominating the league for several years.

Usually Dortmund always makes a surprise in the transfer market because it always manages to sell players at a very fantastic price. But for the transfer market this season looks more quiet, not just about selling players but there is no big movement about changes in the squad in undergoing next season. Marcel Sabitzer has been lent by a number of clubs before and maybe it's time for the player to be sold permanently to other clubs. There is nothing interesting in Dortmund now and I think they don't seem to target anything next season if you look at their current performance.

Bayern Munich took precautions they saw their mistake and amended it, so I don't think they are ready to lose out again so soon from the trophy they just reclaimed. Besides, the thing is that, as it stands there's no team that can rival Bayern Munich in the league as of now.

Posters like this are so glued to the past, whatever happened with Manchester United is already in the past, that was a grave mistake he'll never forget and wished things had gone the right way. I was personally a huge fan after he had 70% of his wins well with Manchester United during his first season. For some reasons I thought he was that guy for the club, but toxicity from th dressing room messed shit up. I wish him all the best with Bayern Leverkusen. Also, don't forget what he did with Ajax in the dutch league and Europe.
