Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Nightwalker(NW)]

Following the departure of Xabi and several key Leverkusen players, I am less optimistic about the possibility of fierce competition in the Bundesliga. This means that Bayern Munich has lost its challenge and will easily dominate the league. Bayern Munich's first match is against RB Leipzig, so do you think we will see other candidates challenging Bayern Munich for the title?

Borussia Dortmund may be a tough opponent for Bayern Munich, but I think Leverkusen will have a year that's different from last year's performance. The manager should have a positive impact on Leverkusen. However, I don't have high hopes for the Dutch manager; he should still be given a chance. I'm sure the management, which brought in and trusted the Spanish player Xabi, also showed some consideration for Erik ten Hag. That's why I have some faith in him, because the team management trusts him.

Dortmund should be a contender for the trophy this season as they may be one of the closest teams to rival Bayern. If we look at the Leverkusen team and it's new manager, are we really going to expect much from him. We will wait to see that when their matches will start. Leverkusen under the leadership of Ten Hang can actually surprise us. But I think I will pick Dortmund to perform better than Leverkusen.

I have my doubts about Ten Hag in this regard. We may have seen the situation with Manchester United where despite having sufficient funds, Ten Hag did not make the necessary signings and did not enter the transfer market sufficiently. That is why we have seen them lose their dominance in the Premier League. Leverkusen is a strong team in the German league and their achievements are also quite good. But I have my doubts about how Ten Hag will do in the future. However, I think if Ten Hag makes the necessary signings, we can see Leverkusen improve.

I agree. I'm not sure what budget he had available for transfers at Man United, so not going to comment on that, but it was clear that he had no plan B for where his strategy for the team proved ineffective. He got a lot of trust from the club owners and he was sacked much later than everyone expected. So he had time + credit of trust, but he wasn't really attempting to make any adjustments. It seemed like he was just waiting till things just magically click and everything will be fine. At least that's the impression I got from that time, I could be wrong though.
I really wish him and Leverkusen all the best, but I just don't have my hopes set too high for them this season.

Alonso’s departure will definitely be felt in terms of charisma and the confidence he instilled, but Ten Hag now has a chance to reshape Leverkusen into a different but still competitive team. The Bundesliga has often seen clubs rise when a coach maximizes limited resources, this doesn't mean Leverkusen should relent on new signings, If the take advantage of the transfer market and make some smart signing they will stand a better chance of competing for the title.

Alonso gave Leverkusen a chance to feel more confident then they have ever felt as a team, he also Instilled a strong winning mentality that reshaped their minds into not settling for a defeat even at times when it felt like they were already defeated, he will be missed by the team and even the players.  Ten Hag has got a challenge with his relationship with players and that has affected how he relates with his players and to a great extent it may be the reason for the kind of results he gets, I am hoping he does better with Leverkusen as time goes on.

You’re actually wrong, in as much as there was many signing that he got at Manchester United I don’t think he got the right players all the time he asked for. This is one of the major reasons then with managers like Mourinho and Ole complaining of not getting their preferred player then. As for the playing pattern, it was clear then that it was Ten Hag playing pattern because it was actually different from what we saw at Ajax and this philosophy of playing the football they wanted at Manchester United was what made him to not been successful at the club, if he had his players and he was giving time I think we might be saying a different thing by now.

Alonso gave Leverkusen a chance to feel more confident then they have ever felt as a team, he also Instilled a strong winning mentality that reshaped their minds into not settling for a defeat even at times when it felt like they were already defeated, he will be missed by the team and even the players.  Ten Hag has got a challenge with his relationship with players and that has affected how he relates with his players and to a great extent it may be the reason for the kind of results he gets, I am hoping he does better with Leverkusen as time goes on.

Seriously Alonso had set a standard that I think will seriously be hard be to break but not impossible. Alonso took the club all the way from the bottom place to where it is today winning the Bundesliga title too and capping it up by going unbeaten. I think aside himself the other part to the team was the players then which are currently all sold out and reason why I will say fans needs to actually give Ten Hag some time due to this massive changes in the squad

So far, there are only two clubs that have challenged Bayern Munich: Leverkusen and Dortmund. However, judging by the current lineup and their performance, Bayern Munich will still dominate the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen? As you know, with their new coach and the departure of several top players, their lineup still needs a lot of work. And Dortmund? They've only made a few signings, but that's still normal. However, Dortmund is currently pursuing Chelsea defender Aaron Anselmino, but on loan only.

Many doubt Ten Hag and not only that, Leverkusen's management also does not support by bringing in many quality players so we can see that overall Bayern Munich's strength is much better than Leverkusen so I think realistically that Leverkusen will not be able to put fierce pressure on Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title.

It's understandable that many people doubt Ten Hag, as there are many factors that could make Leverkusen far worse than last season. Of course, we hope for better, but with the current squad strength, it will be a little more difficult for him to bring about change, especially after several key players left for other teams. Putting pressure on Bayern Munich to disrupt their dominance of the Bundesliga title is indeed difficult, as the quality of the players Bayern Munich has is far better than most teams in the Bundesliga.

I think it will become a tradition in the Bundesliga, and by that, I mean the regular league title contenders, like Borussia Dortmund & RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig is Bayern Munich's first opponent, we'll see what they can do in today's match, I think the usual result will happen, Bayern Munich win the match.

I also think Borussia Dortmund will be better than Leverkusen this year. For some reason, many people aren't expecting a great performance from Bayer Leverkusen this year. Perhaps this will ease the pressure on the manager. I understand people's feelings about this, considering his unsuccessful spell in the Premier League. Xabi Alonso was a very important manager for Bayer Leverkusen and is now at Real Madrid. He was a manager who completely rebuilt the team. I don't know if the Dutchman will do the same.

In addition to the many players leaving, Ten Hag's history with Man United seems to be a strong consideration. Ten Hag's poor history with Man United is still a clear basis for consideration of how Ten Hag will fare with Leverkusen. Although the league is different and the pace is slower, there is still a chance for Ten Hag to make Leverkusen great again. But let's just look at the present. The results of the matches this season will be the best proof of his ability to manage the team.

Many doubting Ten Hag was supposed to be a fueling pressure for him to want to do better but he still do not look like he even cares about  that and this is not about  the Management of Leverkusen, there are other coaches out there  who are putting it to the Management of teams that they need a certain kind of players if they must produce  the results expected of them and the Management has got to work with these coaches on this even when they are financially constrained, they still have to find a way around it.

I think Erik Ten Hag doesn't want to pressure Bayer Leverkusen management that he needs some certain kind of players because if he fails to perform well at Bayer Leverkusen, he will use it as an excuse and blame Bayer Leverkusen management for not giving him the players he wants, just the way he blamed Manchester United management for his failure at Manchester United.

[Fuso.hp]

Eric Ten Hang, what exactly are you doing here with this Bayern Leverkusen team? I'm just wondering because initially I thought it was going to get better as more days is passing by with him as the head coach of Leverkusen but it's not. I'm still wondering how they will cope when their league season officially starts in few days time.

I don't understand why the performance of the team that this manager takes charge of is so bad. Ten Hag has been in charge of Manchester United for a long time and under him the team has only performed poorly, which is why Manchester United was forced to sack this manager. If Manchester United sacked him, he would have had the opportunity to take over as manager of Leverkusen, but since he has been signed to Leverkusen, there has been criticism that this manager will make Leverkusen worse. At first, I thought this manager might do something good for Leverkusen, but his wrong strategy and the team's failure all together make it seem like the management will not trust him at all for the entire season. I think the management should look for a good manager from now on because the team will not be able to do well under this manager.

I'm not surprised by that, and I'm sure many people are too. Many have previously doubted Ten Hag's coaching abilities after his massive failure at Manchester United. It's certainly psychologically stressful, and his job at Leverkusen has made it even more difficult with all the pressure and demands on Ten Hag.
Leverkusen's management has taken the wrong step, so there's nothing to hope for.

[Cossyblack]

I am sure that Bayern Munich will be Bundesliga champions. Leverkusen will be far behind in the title race this season. I can't see any reason to think that this team is strong this season. Also, I don't trust ten Hag. It is very unlikely that he will build Leverkusen into a title-winning team. Maybe we will see some stable performance from Leverkusen, but I don't think we will see title-winning performance from Leverkusen this season.

When it comes to Bundesliga it is very possible that Bayern Munich can win because they are the defending champions  and they might still have that heat in them but we should also not forget the fact there other clubs and Leverkusen is doing some improvement and that might be very challenging because Dortmund seems to been doing well to because  they won there last match.

Ten Hag is not to be trusted actually because is last experience with Manchester United was not a good one and that is why everyone is skeptical so until the game starts then we are going to know if is capable or not because even when Kompany became the coach people did not have faith in him until he proved him self worthy of that position so maybe ten Hag will do the same thing but if he fails then we are going to know that it was actually the fault of ten Hag for Manchester United to be the way they are currently.

Bayern Munich is a strong team in the Bundesliga and they are ready and prepared to defend their title as champions and winners of the Bundesliga Last season. I think Bayern Munich can still win it again because I see no major contender that's is ready to go head to head against Bayern Munich for the title. Bayer Leverkusen should have been the perfect team to compete against Bayern Munich for the title but the arrival of Erik Ten Hag  could make it an impossible task due to his bad managerial records at Manchester United. I am also skeptical about the future of Bayer Leverkusen this season,I really don't like Erik Ten Hag for what he did to Manchester United and I fear he may do worst to Bayer Leverkusen. Erik Ten Hag is the worst manager so far.

I don't think any team in the Bundesliga will be able to challenge Bayern Munich for Bundesliga tittle, Leverkusen tried last season but Bayern Munich still won the pretigeous tittle Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen would have been a big contenders to challenge Bayern Munich but what Bayern Munich does is to sign in any good players in any of these teams so they can keep dominating the league, Bayer 04 Leverkusen even made a mistake to sign Erik ten hag as their head couch after his poor performance under Manchester United i don't think he will have anything good to offer Bayern Munich remains the king of Bundesliga.

Why?

Eric Ten Hang, what exactly are you doing here with this Bayern Leverkusen team? I'm just wondering because initially I thought it was going to get better as more days is passing by with him as the head coach of Leverkusen but it's not. I'm still wondering how they will cope when their league season officially starts in few days time.

You do realize that was Bayer U19 team that played there, right, with players that almost never played together?
It wasn't even an official friendly match, it was training behind closed doors.

I haven't heard any details about this match, but if it's Leverkusen's main squad, then that's bad. But if it's the U17s, I don't think that's a good measure to judge by. Another issue is that preseason matches are always different from competitive matches, and I think Ten Hag has been trusted by management. That means management is prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Many people doubt them, just like you, and that includes me. But remember that there are still many opportunities; the Bundesliga isn’t as tough as the EPL. I think Ten Hag's situation can still be adjusted. Especially if Ten Hag is thinking about developing and has a new strategy. Because we understand that every league in the world has different levels of competition in league competitions. Because the poor results at Man United aren't as bad as Amorim's current situation, even statistically, and Ten Hag's final standings with Man United feel better in terms of the final standings.

So? Do you also realise that the team Eric Ten Hang team played against was a junior team. Roda is a Dutch second tier division team. There's no way he wouldn't field at least two or three senior team players. We often see lineups like this in different leagues when a big team is about to play a division team, this mostly happens in cup games. They mostly use junior players with two or three senior players to play the match.

[GiftedMAN]

I think it will become a tradition in the Bundesliga, and by that, I mean the regular league title contenders, like Borussia Dortmund & RB Leipzig. RB Leipzig is Bayern Munich's first opponent, we'll see what they can do in today's match, I think the usual result will happen, Bayern Munich win the match.

The only tradition that looks like what is going to be maintained is Bayern Munich being able to continue winning the league for another decade, RB Leipzig team squad are not to be compared to the squad depth of Bayern Munich, Dortmund is only interested in selling their players to maximize profit they don't look like they are interested in fighting for the league title, Bayer Leverkusen is starting to rebuild the team so nothing should be expected of the team since they also sold their players.

Bayern Munich first game today against RB Leipzig should end in favour of Bayern Munich, a combination of Kane and Luis Diaz should make the Bayern Munich team better than their opponents.

Roda is no a junior team, hope I don't have to explain what a second division means.

There's no way he wouldn't field at least two or three senior team players.

Why make assumptions when you have the stats with the players fielded?

We often see lineups like this in different leagues when a big team is about to play a division team, this mostly happens in cup games.

Again, this wasn't even an official friendly game, you do realize the match against Roda was on the 16th while Bayer played in the DBF on the 15th, right?
But well, since this is about gambling, why don't you profit from that knowledge, look, easy 7x

[Out of mind]

The first match of the new season in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich vs Leipzig, if you bet on this match, you can win in favor of Bayern. Bayern was in great form last season, which is why they were able to become champions, this season too the kompany will try hard to make the team champions again. Bayern Munich's line-up is 4-2-3-1 and Leipzig 4-3-3 according to the arrangement of the two teams. However, I think Bayern Munich will win this match very easily, they will try to maintain the top position of the points table from the beginning. Moreover, there is no team that can compete with Bayern Munich this season, Leverkusen is also not in a very good form this season, their performance is very weak.
