Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Akbarkoe]

I'm experiencing similar hesitations. Bayer Leverkusen may not be the same this year. They already lost the first leg at home to Hoffenheim. This was one of the manager's less serious tests, and he lost it. There's been a lot of concern about how well he can perform against more serious and powerful teams. The fans are also unhappy with this situation. Their chances of winning the title this year are practically zero, in my opinion. If they can make it to the Champions League next year, they'll consider themselves lucky.

I don't see any reason to have high hopes for Bayer Leverkusen. This team is mediocre. They have performed well in the last two seasons, so it is unlikely that they will do well this season. The scenario is completely different this season.

They don't have a skillfull coach like Xabi Alonso. I have no faith in ten hag's ability. He took Manchester United to a terrible state. So I don't think Leverkusen will do well with such a coach. Moreover, we have not seen a good performance from the team in friendly matches. They lost their first match of the Bundesliga against a small team like Hoffenheim. Leverkusen lost their last point against this team in 2022.

I watched the match from start to finish. When Leverkusen scored in the opening minutes, I thought it would be a relatively easy match for them. At the time, I still had hope for Leverkusen, especially since it was a home game. However, Leverkusen completely disappointed their fans. The goal was conceded and they were unable to score again against Hoffenheim, despite their dominance. They even conceded a goal in the early minutes of the second half, leading 2-1, and Leverkusen were unable to equalize until the final whistle.

Leverkusen have had a poor start to the season, and this will likely continue into the next few matches, given their formidable opponents. Ten Hag simply cannot be relied upon to lead this team forward, especially with a busy schedule ahead.

Dortmund continues to give away points as if they were making donations. Leading by two goals, they lost two points in five minutes. It looks like this year will be no different. Bayern will easily win the championship and Dortmund will not be able to challenge them. I like St. Pauli and I was happy they got one point. But if we're going to see Dortmund out of the race again, that's not good for the Bundesliga. People want to see some competition. Otherwise, it'll be a very boring league.

Dortmund performance was not good this season again, I didn't expected they will play like this against St Pauli. How can you be leading by three goals and later ended in a  draw. when the opponent that they are playing are not a big club, that we can probably says that they can challenge the team. Dortmund will still struggle to win matches this season in the Bundesliga. Because with how they performed last weekend, I don't think they can challenge big clubs in the competition like bayern Munich and Levekusen this time around. Let see if they can improve better in there next game since this is just there first game in the new season. I won't really judge Dortmund because that is there first game, they can improve in there next fixture games in the competition. Because they will do there best to perform better and get the opportunity to qualify for the ucl next season, let see how the competition will goes and see if they will improve better or not.

Definitely RB Leipzig was not expected to win Bayern Munich and even if they were to get that done, it would not have come easy for them because I believe Bayern Munich will definitely make it very difficult for them but just like expected, Bayern did out performed Leipzig, and I believe they will even do more after now. Where I want to see Bayern Munich do evene more should be in the champions league.

Sure, Leipzig comes to draw against Bayern Munich because they can't defeat Munich with the squad in the team. And they came to play defense games and end in a draw but they find it difficult to stop Munich in the pitch and conceded two goals in the match. Bayern Munich are the favorites to achieve the Bundesliga title this season, because with how they are playing i don't think any club can challenge them in the competition. Bayern Munich performance as show that they are really ready for the ucl and will challenge any club in the competition. And they will definitely be in the best this season because I don't think Bayern Munich will perform poor in all the competition. Leipzig are good but Munich are more better then them in the league competition and he will be very difficult for them to win Munich in any competition they meet.

We need to play safe in betting in the Bundesliga competition this year because clearly Leverkusen and Dortmund are not always reliable, or take a high risk by risking our money on their opponents because of course with their appearance like this, defeat can approach them. To be honest, this year I personally hesitate to rely on them in betting slip even though the Bundesliga competition has just begun, especially relying on Leverkusen because remembering Ten Hag is their head coach.

I'm experiencing similar hesitations. Bayer Leverkusen may not be the same this year. They already lost the first leg at home to Hoffenheim. This was one of the manager's less serious tests, and he lost it. There's been a lot of concern about how well he can perform against more serious and powerful teams. The fans are also unhappy with this situation. Their chances of winning the title this year are practically zero, in my opinion. If they can make it to the Champions League next year, they'll consider themselves lucky.

Leverkusen will certainly look different this season than last season. They've lost their manager and four key players. So, with new coach Erik Ten Hag, Leverkusen hasn't made a significant impact, even losing their first match. A loss in their opening match will certainly have a significant impact on subsequent matches, lowering their confidence, and this will undoubtedly affect Ten Hag.

If we talk about Leverkusen competing with Muenchen, they certainly won't. Leverkusen's mere third- and second-place finish is already an extraordinary achievement for Ten Hag. Likewise, Dortmund hasn't shown any signs of being a team capable of competing with Muenchen this season. It could be said that this season's Bundesliga trophy is Muen again. Betting on teams like Leverkusen and Dortmund is more comfortable when betting on total goals.

Leverkusen have had a poor start to the season, and this will likely continue into the next few matches, given their formidable opponents. Ten Hag simply cannot be relied upon to lead this team forward, especially with a busy schedule ahead.

I think so too. In their previous five matches, Leverkusen had always easily defeated Hoffenheim, and it shouldn't have been a difficult task for the experienced Leverkusen. But Ten Hag arrival seems to bring a new, even worse history. 

Just imagine against a weaker team, Leverkusen was unable to get victory. Then what if later against a stronger team and has a denser schedule. I am sure this season will be a scary season for Leverkusen.

[GiftedMAN]

Wasn't expecting RB Leipzig to beat Bayern Munich in their home ground but at least I expected them to give the home side some tough time before the end of 90 minutes, but the reverse was the case as Bayern proved to be more sophisticated than Leipzig, beating the away side comfortably at home as they seek to defend their title with this win in front of the home fans in Munich.

No one expected RB Leipzig to get a win against Bayern Munich but the match was not expected to be a 99% for Bayern Munich and a 1% thing for RB Leipzig as seen in the game that day, Bayern Munich totally gave no chance to breath and the defenders were frustrated cause they were always running to cover u their post but they ended up losing 6:0 at full time. Bayern Munich is undoubtedly ready to defend their title and they have started that already in the first game and with this performance other teams will be scared when they meet them.

As I had said it somewhere before now that the talent and quality of experience within the Bayern Munich team can't be compared to that of RB Leipzig in any ways.  More even is how I don't really see any difference in the team squad from what it was in their last season campaign which was one of a poor making that even in the UCL they could get a point in all their games till they were eliminated. We could probably be seeing same RB Leipzig this season no doubt.

No doubt the quality players in the Bayern Munich team can not be compared to that of their RB Leipzig counterpart but as a team that underperformed last season they were supposed to be busy in the transfer market but they didn't do that instead they continued with the same players of last season, and after seeing their performance last season and the first game against Bayern Munich one can conclude that RB Leipzig will be worst in performance this season they already started with a 6:0 loss I nthe first game.

This could become one of their new weaknesses, the problem to keep up the pressure over a longer period of time because they don't have the same players with the same quality these days. They are still good enough to have their high pace, high precision attacks, but the game play in between will be much weaker as the team now has less quality. It will be harder for them to stay in control once they scored that goal. And they are not as dangerous, which means opponents know they will get their time and space to counter.

[Mate2237]

It's true, expectations for Ten Hag aren't particularly high. Leverkusen fans are hoping the club management will hire a better manager to replace Xabi Alonso. However, it's still early in the season, and Ten Hag still has plenty of opportunities to convince everyone. If Ten Hag fails to secure a win in five matches in succession, I think he deserves the sack. Despite the challenges he faces, a losing streak is unacceptable.

To be honest, I have no expectations from Ten hag. I am ready to see the decrease of Leverkusen's performance . And this season I will be more careful about betting on Leverkusen's matches. Because it will be very difficult for this team to beat even the weak teams in the bundesliga.

Leverkusen has never been considered a strong team in the Bundesliga in the past. We have seen that in the last two seasons the team has played very well. They had the best two seasons in Leverkusen's history. But now the important players who played in the Leverkusen jersey in the last two seasons are not with the team and their coach Alonso is not there either. So my expectations from them are very low.

Ten Hag was a complete failure with Manchester United. He completely destroyed the team. How can we have high expectations from such a coach? If Leverkusen can qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, that will be their best result.

No one really has expectations from Ten Hag but coming to Leverkusen and ruin such a team ? I think it clearly intentional from Leverkusen board that they wanted to ruin their team momentum and go back to become a top 10 team like they used to be for such a long time. I'm really mad at this decision and I hope the guy won't stay long enough on the bench to actually fully ruin them.

Yes , he really destroyed United everywhere he could and he did it with a smile on his face ...so I will never ever trust such a character to be and act professional.

You're right considering the way that ten Hag struggled at United I was not expecting any top team to hire ten Hag but Leverkusen somehow was convinced by what he could do and brought him in and the most worrisome thing is the way and manner that top players are leaving the club



It's clear that Leverkusen will definitely struggle this season with ten Hag as the head coach of this Leverkusen team Leverkusen should give a target to this coach if they are to do well this season

[Adiljutt156]

Leverkusen was defeated by Hoffenheim in their first match of the Bundesliga season. this was a disappointing loss, as Leverkusen were playing at home, and it was also Erik ten Hag’s debut. many had expected Leverkusen to win, but instead, Hoffenheim emerged victorious by capitalizing on their chances, scoring two goals against the hosts. this outcome is particularly disappointing, as the public had hoped Ten Hag would bring positive changes to Leverkusen, especially after the team acquired new players that should have made their performance more promising. however, this defeat suggests that the restructuring carried out by Ten Hag has not yet proven successful.

Seriously, I was also disappointed seeing this result but honestly, I was not expecting much from Leverkusen because I knew their squad would not be strong again after they lost some of their players, and they did not sign great players. But despite losing great players, this is not the kind of team I was expecting to defeat Leverkusen. When they are the host of the game, they should try and at least draw. One of the painful parts is that Hoffenheim made a comeback. With the result they have gotten today, the pressure will now be on Ten Hag's head, because even before, many people were underrating him, thinking he would not deliver based on his performance at Manchester United.

We saw match of Hoffenheim football team against Leverkusen football team which was totally one sided match and Hoffenheim team did back to back 2 goals in this match. Quansah was a person who did one goal in this match and he did goal at 6 minutes of the match but after that goal , no player of that team could do any goal in this match. Hoffenheim players did back to back goals in this match and Asllani did goal at 25 minutes when it was requirement of the team. Lemperle did last goal of the match and that goal was at 52 minutes.The possession percentage of Hoffenheim football team was very weak in this match which was only 40 and passes of that team were also very low in this match which were 387 and opponent team possession was wonderful but that team could not win this match.

[ShowOff]

Leverkusen will certainly look different this season than last season. They've lost their manager and four key players. So, with new coach Erik Ten Hag, Leverkusen hasn't made a significant impact, even losing their first match. A loss in their opening match will certainly have a significant impact on subsequent matches, lowering their confidence, and this will undoubtedly affect Ten Hag.

If we talk about Leverkusen competing with Muenchen, they certainly won't. Leverkusen's mere third- and second-place finish is already an extraordinary achievement for Ten Hag. Likewise, Dortmund hasn't shown any signs of being a team capable of competing with Muenchen this season. It could be said that this season's Bundesliga trophy is Muen again. Betting on teams like Leverkusen and Dortmund is more comfortable when betting on total goals.

However, since it's still the beginning of the season, it's very realistic to expect Leverkusen to perform consistently going forward, allowing them to compete closely with Bayern Munich at the top of the table. If Leverkusen finishes in second or third place this season, I don't think it's too bad. I mean, that would still mean Ten Hag has managed Leverkusen successfully, as they've undergone squad depth changes and lost several key players.

Ten Hag will certainly make a maximum effort to get three points in the next match, and on paper, they should be able to defeat Werder Bremen. Overall, I actually agree that Bayern Munich seems likely to retain the trophy this season, Leverkusen and even Dortmund don't seem fully ready to be title contenders.

Quansah opened scores on Leverkusen already on 6 min, but Asllani and Lemperle scored 2 goals in row for Hoffenheim at 25 and 52 minutes respectively. Although Hoffenheim hardly had possession of ball, their chances at goal left Leverkusen empty handed in regards to final score. And I was thinking that Leverkuse will win this match but they were unable to do this. And I appreciate the performance of Hoffenheim. I hope they will try to maintain this performance for next matches too.

[Fuso.hp]

I don't think they will be able to perform like Leverkusen did last season because they had a good manager in charge of their club last season.

Not a good result and Erik Ten Hag will be under huge pressures in front of the team and their fans.
Hoffenheim is a medium team but they could make surprises like we say in the previous seasons against top teams including Bayern Munich.
A round result means nothing but Bayer Leverkusen will not tolerate more failure in the future.

Leverkusen must have known about Ten Hag's past management experience and Leverkusen management also knew that if they handed over the responsibility of their club to this manager, the fans would not take it well and the fans would criticize the manager a lot, which would result in the manager not being able to do as much as he could have. Knowing this, I think that handing over the responsibility of Leverkusen to Ten Hag was a wrong decision by the management. In fact, the strategy that Ten Hag is trying to manage Leverkusen may seem like a completely new strategy to Leverkusen players, which is why they are not able to adapt to the manager's strategy and finish the matches with good results in the German league matches.
Where Leverkusen was an undefeated team in the 23-24 season and they left big teams including Bayern Munich behind in the points table and won the Bundesliga title, such a result is actually difficult for the fans to accept.

[iamsange]

However, since it's still the beginning of the season, it's very realistic to expect Leverkusen to perform consistently going forward, allowing them to compete closely with Bayern Munich at the top of the table. If Leverkusen finishes in second or third place this season, I don't think it's too bad. I mean, that would still mean Ten Hag has managed Leverkusen successfully, as they've undergone squad depth changes and lost several key players.

I would also consider Ten Hag successful if he can lead Leverkusen to a top-four finish in the Bundesliga. It's not easy to manage a team with a changed squad, especially when key players are gone. So, let alone second or third place, even if Ten Hag managed to finish fourth with Leverkusen, that would be quite remarkable for him. However, if Leverkusen's squad continues to play the same way they did in the first match, it will be quite difficult to achieve that position this season.

So, with new coach Erik Ten Hag, Leverkusen hasn't made a significant impact, even losing their first match.

Likewise, Dortmund hasn't shown any signs of being a team capable of competing with Muenchen this season. It could be said that this season's Bundesliga trophy is Muen again. Betting on teams like Leverkusen and Dortmund is more comfortable when betting on total goals.

The loss of coach Xabi Alonso and a number of key players such as Florian Wirtz, Granit Xhaka, Jeremie Frimpong, and former captain Jonathan Tah appears to have had a significant impact on Leverkusen performance. It's clear Ten Hag struggled in his first Bundesliga game as he had to establish a rapport with both his old and newly recruited players. He also immediately fielded three new recruits in the game from the first minute, Mark Flekken, Ibrahim Maza, and Jarell Quansah. So it's natural that his rhythm hasn't been established in the first match.
However, considering how they lost and who beat them, Leverkusen players are certainly very depressed by the defeat and it will have an impact on their mentality in the next match.

This season, Dortmund is the only team with the potential to compete with Bayern Munich, but the final result is certainly predictable, while Leverkusen third-place finish is their best achievement yet.

[joniboini]

I'll wait until the fifth gameweek to start analysing what ETH plans for Leverkusen and judge if that plan is good or not for the long term. Expecting ETH to repeat Alonso's invincible season with different players is a bit naive imo. They basically replace their first line-up with new players who are eager to prove themselves, so they probably lack experience to some extent. Let's see if they can play better or not.

That being said, seeing Quansah score a goal is good for me. Hopefully, he makes it big and improves his game tremendously.

[Phoenix Anka]

Borussia Dortmund surprised them again. They were leading 3-1, but conceded two goals in three minutes, drawing the match. Everything was going their way until the final minutes, but somehow they conceded two goals in the final minutes. Filippo Mane's red card disrupted the balance of play, and they drew. Bayer Leverkusen also played similarly poorly. The clear winner of the first week was, of course, Bayern Munich. Judging by the results of the first week, I think Bayern Munich will be the clear champions this season. Bayern Munich doesn't drop points easily in the German league.

Bayer Leverkusen may have lost their first match of the week, but all hope is not lost yet. Yes, I was disappointed and had some very negative thoughts, but Bayer Leverkusen can slowly recover. They're currently trying to get used to their new manager. If the adjustment period takes too long, Leverkusen could drop a lot of points. I think they need to complete their adaptation as soon as possible.

Bayer Leverkusen losing in their first match says a lot about what is coming their way this season the team has lost so many players without replacing them and their former manager that gave them the league is no longer with them the best they could have done is to sign more players to equip their team instead of selling their key players with no good plans to replace them with between ones, in their friendly matches it was a bad result they had coming to the league matches they have nothing to adjust the team is lacking quality players and the manager can not do nothing about their performance with the players in the team.

The players who formed the core of the team also declined in performance after the manager's appointment. Some were also sold. A magnificent talent like Wirtz was lost. The new players coming in haven't been performing well. I think Erik Ten Hag is a poor manager when it comes to transfers anyway. We saw this at Manchester United. I think Bayer Leverkusen should have brought in another manager.

[Mayor of ogba]

<Snip out>.

I'm not surprised by this result, as Leipzig didn't build a much better team for this season, so it was a given that Bayern Munich would win easily, especially since they were playing at home. As we know, Bayern Munich's character is always to be productive when their opponent is slow, and they proved that again in this match.

Overall, no Bundesliga team can match Bayern Munich's strength, but that doesn't mean there won't be a team that can beat them. The season is very long, and anything is possible every week.

Wasn't expecting RB Leipzig to beat Bayern Munich in their home ground but at least I expected them to give the home side some tough time before the end of 90 minutes, but the reverse was the case as Bayern proved to be more sophisticated than Leipzig, beating the away side comfortably at home as they seek to defend their title with this win in front of the home fans in Munich.

I wasn't expecting Leipzig to beat Bayern Munich either in the opening match of the German Bundesliga this season, but I expected Bayern Munich to struggle to win against Leipzig since Leipzig is a tough team in the German Bundesliga, and sometimes Leipzig would beat Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga, but with the way Bayern Munich easily dominated Leipzig and scored 6 goals against Leipzig, I was surprised.

Losing at home is a very bad start against Hoffenheim, who should be a relatively easy opponent.
If the defeat had a reason as the players were adapting to a new coach, then that makes sense.
But if they still get the same result in their next match against Werder Bremen, it looks like Bayer Leverkusen will have to quickly consider their next move.
