Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

And Leverkusen did there best last season but things are going to be different this time around and we should not underestimate them this season. And Bayern Munich were ready and Kompany had a reputation to keep and also kept to his word and even Ten Hag is not showing any form of winning anything this season because Bayern Munich is showing some action this season already. And Leverkusen is actually a strong club we won't even argue that but they need to do more than what they are doing now, and don't be surprised to see Bayern Munich still winning the league this season because they are still in form.

Last season wasn't much better than the one when they won the Bundesliga, as I saw Leverkusen starting to lose consistency while defending the title. There's no reason to underestimate any team, but if you're a fan of this league, perhaps you can imagine how Bayern Munich can dominate the league without significant disruption. There are no signs of significant changes brought by Ten Hag, and perhaps you can point to some of Leverkusen's results during their trial runs. If you want to face the increasingly powerful Bayern Munich, there is no other way than to have the opposing team's strength be balanced.

What can we expect from Leverkusen this season? They have sold their best players, including their best coach, who chose to join Real Madrid. And now they are under the guidance of ETH, a rather controversial coach, so what can we expect from Leverkusen this season? And even in their first Bundesliga match, they lost to Hoffenheim, losing 2-1 at home and starting the season with a poor result. At this point, Leverkusen is on a different level from Bayern Munich; they no longer have the strength to compete at the top of the table or to compete for the championship title again. I think that this season, Bayern Munich will once again completely dominate the league as they have done before.

This season we cannot expect anything good from Leverkusen because their performance is not good at all. Last season they were strong enough and they had good players in their team but this season they have lost a lot of strength because they sold them. They competed with Bayern Munich last season but this season Leverkusen will not be able to compete with Bayern in any way. Moreover Dortmund is not very strong and they are also in the same situation this season that is why there will be no exciting games in Bundesliga this season. There may be a possibility of one-sided games in Bundesliga this season because Bayern Munich is strong and they are strong enough to win the title this season.

Last season they were strong enough and they had good players in their team but this season they have lost a lot of strength because they sold them. They competed with Bayern Munich last season but this season Leverkusen will not be able to compete with Bayern in any way.

Leverkusen will try to maintain their position in top four of Bundesliga in order to be eligible for UEFA Champions League. It's important position as it secures their club's financial revenue in a next season and if they can maintain it for some years, they will have good finance as well as time enough for rebuilding their squad and find success in the future.

Moreover Dortmund is not very strong and they are also in the same situation this season that is why there will be no exciting games in Bundesliga this season. There may be a possibility of one-sided games in Bundesliga this season because Bayern Munich is strong and they are strong enough to win the title this season.

It seems like after more than one decade of success with a same strategy: using scouts to find free or cheap youth players, buy them, grow them up to star players, gain success with the club, and sell those players for money with expensive transfer prices, now Dortmund have been facing with big troubles to repeat that success as they are no longer be able to find talented youth players like they did successfully with Gotze, Reus, Lewandowski, Haaland, Sancho, Bellingham.

They are like Sevilla as whenever the good player resources from scout teams are broken, their player resource quality will be affected, then performances. Sevilla and Dortmund are likely going to downsides and maybe the ends of their succes eras.

I think so, we see realistically that Leverkusen is not better this season even after 2 seasons ago Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title and in the following season they also lost to Bayern Munich when the Bayern Munich team made many changes to make the team stronger especially in this season Bayern Munich is much stronger while Leverkusen made many changes but not much better, now the pressure is on their coach Ten Hag and I am sure he will be jeered again like when he failed at Manchester United.

Bayern may have lost Muller, and Kompany is still looking for new players.  But I just read that the Munich academy has a good striker. He even rose quickly to the U-19 team. His statistics with the U17 and U19 teams in 30 games show that he scored 34 goals. I think these are amazing statistics. Kompany should immediately see this kid's potential. If he's worthy, he should be able to make his debut with the first team. Does he deserve minutes in Munich's senior-level official matches? What do you think?

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.

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.

I have seen a lot of comments from different people venting their frustration at Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Leverkusen, which is normal, but we all only blame the teams without appreciating the fact that their opponents might have gotten better this new season. Before two seasons ago, Bayern Leverkusen was just an average team and was not regular at top four, but soon they got better and started winning and even kept the record of being undefeated for a season. We might be seeing something like that this season in some of these other clubs. For Borussia Dortmund I don't know what their problem is and the reason for their stagnation for several years.

No, Hoffenheim hasn't made any significant improvements this season, and their performance remains the same as last season. This isn't about blaming the club alone; it's Bayer Leverkusen who has experienced a deeper decline.
We're not really blaming the club, but rather the current Bayer coach, who truly doesn't have a bright future for the club.

This contrasts with Borussia Dortmund, whose draw ended after a defender had to leave the pitch and Dortmund were reduced to 10 men.
Overall, Borussia Dortmund still has a good chance this season.

After the match with Leipzig I can say that Bayern does not feel the absence of Müller yet, their midfield and attacking line have shown that they are capable of scoring a lot even against a strong opponent. I think that Kompany is not against young players, but he would rather give preference to an experienced player than wait until a young player gains enough experience to play in the main team. Moreover, Bayern is fine with finances and they would rather buy a player like Diaz than put a young striker.

What set them apart from other teams the year they won the championship was their exceptional performance in both matches against Bayern Munich. They put in an extraordinary performance and, unprecedented in the Bundesliga, went the entire season unbeaten. This was a testament to the Spanish manager's success. While everyone expected mediocre success, Leverkusen achieved extraordinary success. Perhaps what's expected of them today is actually what they can do. However, Xabi raised expectations so high that everyone expects Bayer Leverkusen to win the title.

Your analysis about Bayern Munich current situation is good. And based on their dominant performance against Leipzig team attack is incredibly strong making Thomas Müller absence feel less significant for now. 6-0 win with goals from Harry Kane and new signing Michael Olise clearly shows their scoring power.
And you are also right about Vincent Kompany. With immense pressure to win immediately it is very likely he would prioritize experienced player. This is further backed by club financial strength which allows them to buy Luis Díaz he is fantastic debut with goal and two assists instead of having to rely solely on their youth academy. This transfer strategy clearly shows that club is focused on achieving immediate success.

[Velvet78]

What a horrible start for Leverkusen... Losing to Hoffenheim which barely clung to the Bundesliga last season (even at home) is a shame.  

But I still want to trust them on the second week. It is going to be an away game against Bremen. I have thought of a 2-leg multi like this:

- Frankfurt win @2.31
- Leverkusen win @1.97

Total odds: 4.55

I think Frankfurt will beat Hoffenheim away. They still seem very strong considering their first week performance.

Bremen seem terrible so I see it as an opportunity for Erik ten Hag to bring the first win to his team.

with the bayern munich team that I saw against Leipzig last weekend bayern attack will be a threat to any defense when it comes to the bundesliga because they were very potent scoring six pass one of bundesliga finest thems

Bayern, with one of Europe's best academy programs, has no problem bringing in players from the youth academy. I think they'll add a good striker to the main squad. Along with a host of other good players, I think Kompany likes to develop 16- and 17-year-olds from the youth academy to gain experience. We'll see how many opportunities are given to young players next year.

Normally everyone knows Bayer Leverkusen's performance was not that good compared to the last two seasons that they won the Bundesliga title. It’s obvious. However, Bayer Leverkusen will get worse this season because, with the look of things, this club did not even make any attempt at doing great this season since they sold their two key players.

I know things will be different for them; getting in two new players to replace that position won’t solve the problem because even if the players are good, they won’t perform well when they are new to the team. They must get used to the team strategy of play, and also their new coach will introduce a new method which will still delay the performance.

[Callido]

After the match with Leipzig I can say that Bayern does not feel the absence of Müller yet, their midfield and attacking line have shown that they are capable of scoring a lot even against a strong opponent.

That is why football is all about team effort, with ability to cover up when a player is not available or for the sake of injury, makes the team balanced. Muller was a valuable asset to Bayern, there are younger talents rising to fill those gaps, teams will always survive with or without any player. Just like how we miss Messi at Barcelona but we see a new generation of talent emerging and are doing the same for the club. Musiala should be the successor to Muller, but recent injury has kept him away from the pitch, speedy recovery to the player.

[KTChampions]

Before the start, Bayern were priced at 1.30. Quite generous if you think about the fact that all competitors are weak. But literally one round has passed and now Bayern are priced at 1.13   And I think it's not about the win over Leipzig or Bayer, but about Dortmund confirming their trashiness. The old pattern repeated itself - after a series of good games, when it seems that they have stabilized, a series of bad games follows. There really won't be any competition for the title this season.

The odds offered by bookmakers for Munich as the favorites for this season's Bundesliga title indicate that this season's title race will be uncompetitive. The battle for the Champions League spots will likely be more competitive than the Bundesliga trophy.

Munich is in its second season under Kompany which is a strong reason why they are favored aside from the weakness of their competitors this season. Furthermore, Munich under Kompany has matured and developed a better mentality. With the Bundesliga predicted to be uncompetitive, this gives them the advantage to focus more on the Champions League this season.

I think it's not about Kompany, but about the fact that with the departure of Xabi and several players, Leverkusen has become weaker, and that Dortmund has been in crisis for the third year in a row. Bayern literally have no competitors and even if they have an unsuccessful period, there is no one who could punish them for it. Yes, the battle for a place in the Champions League will be interesting, but in reality, no - the group stage of the Champions League does not mean anything now, it is a garbage stage.

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.

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.

I was not surprised that Hoffenheim defeated Bayer Leverkusen because Hoffenheim is a tough team in the German Bundesliga, and coupled with the departure of Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen's best players this summer, I knew Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't defeat  Hoffenheim because this season Bayer Leverkusen is quite different from last season Bayer Leverkusen. I don't see Bayer Leverkusen to compete in the German Bundesliga this season, but since the German Bundesliga is ongoing, we will see if Bayer Leverkusen would perform well.

Yeah, I mean they are such a team that even when they lose a player, they just get another great one and continue their work. That is why the yare doing great and not going to end up with that much trouble, they are going to end up with a lot better result.

So, it should be something that we can definitely consider as something we can profit from, but that is not that easy at all.

It should be considered as something that can bring in some profit for some people, it's that simple. If they keep replacing their good players with other good players, then you can never beat them and they will be good.

There were few years where they didn't look awesome, like how they lost to Dortmund almost with just 1 point win, thanks to Dortmund getting a tie on the very last game and then lose to Leverkusen. But, that's when they make wrong moves.

[el kaka22]

Lmao, we are already seeing the Erik Ten Hag impact on the team. I am not saying they are good, of course they won't win the league no matter who they get as manager. But you should be able to beat Hoffenheim, even after losing Wirtz and all others. It's clear that ETH is going to make this team into something terrible and there is no way that we are going to see them finish in top four.

I said before the season started that if they do finish in fourth place then I would consider them as great this year, because of all the people they lost. But looking at the first game, I would consider them lucky if they finish 7th now. They will probably not be in the top 10 and that is the sad reality of any team that is managed by him.

I agree with you. Leverkusen is not as strong as they were in previous seasons and we may not see their dominance this season. The main reason for this is the change of coach and the appointment of Ten Hag, who is already known as a bad manager. Another reason is the departure of the best players.
They were not aggressive against Hoffenheim, although they were able to keep the ball, but Hoffenheim dominated them and won the match. Although Leverkusen scored in the first 6 minutes, they did not score any goals in the rest of the game, but conceded 2 goals and lost the match 2-1.
