Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Callido]

Leverkusen will be sent home with a score difference of AT LEAST 2 goal, that's the minimum. Leverkusen hasn't been extraordinary, they only had fairly easy matches in the past weeks. Guess you already forgot about the 2 week performances the the champions league, did ya?
Under no circumstances does Leverkusen have any chance to go home with points after that Munich game, absolutely no chance. I wish it was different, cause I dislike Bayern, but that's simply the reality.

Tomorrow will decide, but fair enough Bayern Munich are capable of beating Leverkusen with enough goals, saw what PSG did to Leverkusen in the Champions League, both Bayern and PSG are having the same quality, if Bayern keep to their performance they will take on Leverkusen just like you said.

It's a game of football, Leverkusen can still make a good impression during the match, holding Bayern down won't be easy. The bookies give Leverkusen over 10 odds to defeat Bayern Munich, odds differences makes the bet interesting.

This will not be the first time because Leverkusen often competes with Bayern Munich and in the Bundesliga, both of them are considered to be much better at becoming champions, but every time Bayern Munich succeeds due to its strength and struggle. This time, PSG is also in the Bayern Munich  competition, due to which the expectations of interest have increased even more, due to which Bayern Munich should be even stronger, which helps them a lot with their record. The match between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will be interesting, while Leverkusen does not yet have the effort to beat Bayern Munich. There is hope for a good game from Leverkusen, but the success of Bayern Munich should really be at the top so that their performance does not change.

There is hope for a good game from Leverkusen, but the success of Bayern Munich should really be at the top so that their performance does not change.

Of course, Leverkusen is now playing better than when Ten Hag was coaching. I think with Leverkusen's current performance, they can at least finish in the top 4 of the Bundesliga standings. They have the ability to compete for that position, but not to challenge Bayern Munich's dominance this season. 
Their match will definitely be interesting. I want to see how Leverkusen is actually able to grow and improve its team's performance.

[KTChampions]

Erik Ten Hag wanted to ruined everything that Xabi Alonso have worked hard enough for and within the space of months, ETH already burning everything to the ground. Bayer Leverkusen was one of the best performing team in Europe but alot of things changed when we get to watch how these clubs performs. However the current manager, Kasper Hjulmand is doing some good experime for the club, ensuring a win is constant for them. Bayer Leverkusen have suffered enough already, so it's adequate for the club to keep pressing to retained a particular formidable spot in football. We know living hard was challenging but there's are no other alternatives than sinking in for winnings.

I don't like Ten Hag, but you're still exaggerating. For starters, the club's management sold several key Leverkusen players without comparable replacements. This has nothing to do with Ten Hag. Everything else we know from the leaks is likely true, and he really is a problematic coach, but we still shouldn't demonize him. But it's always worth laughing at him, as even a weakened Leverkusen is easily in the top 3-4 of the Bundesliga, but under Ten Hag they were significantly lower.

We all criticized it after ten Hag was appointed as manager. But it is clear that the Leverkusen management realized their mistake very quickly. And very quickly they decided to fire ten Hag.

Leverkusen is playing very well with their new coach. I would say they are performing at their best. Coach Hjulmand is doing well. I say this because Leverkusen does not have the strong squad as last season. Players like Wirtz, Frimpong, Jonathon Tah and Boniface are not with Leverkusen this season. Leverkusen's squad cannot be considered very strong either. Then in the past matches we have seen stable performances from Leverkusen.

It is very unlikely that Leverkusen will win against Bayern Munich. But I expect a competitive match. Leverkusen has played well against Munich in the last two seasons

[Baki202]

~Snip.

What their coach has done when he was appointed to replace Erik Ten Hag has so far given something good, but let's not rush because we still have to see how far he will bring Leverkusen to continue to perform consistently.

Expectations are high with what he has shown so far, so I think the public's expectations, especially the Leverkusen supporters, will be even stronger. Now at Leverkusen there is a new standard, with Xabi's previous success, then that standard will be used. I think when he starts slipping it will be immediately compared to Xabi. But I hope that doesn't happen.

Leverkusen continues to perform consistently this season after Erik Ten Hag was replaced Leverkusen's performance continues to improve the season is not over yet it needs enough time to make Leverkusen continue to improve even better.
Now Leverkusen is in a safe situation thanks to the expertise of Xabi Alonso before, in their last match Leverkusen also got a satisfactory result a new strategy will emerge if the game starts to decline and that will not happen to a big team like Leverkusen.

Leverkusen have actually improved because out of five games they won four and they are maintaining the fifth position so is it that Ten Hag was not capable enough but the truth of the matter is that I feel they should have still given him the opportunity he wanted. But since the management seems to have gotten what they want so it's fair enough because they wanted good performance, but even with there performance they won't be able to win Bayer Munich because does guys are seriously in form and they are dominating so it will be very difficult for Leverkusen because it is already too late for anything because it's going to be a lot to be able to defeat them. They are already in a safe zone so they don't really have anything serious to worry about. They just need to improve there self and maintain consistency.  That is the only thing they can do for now.

Incredible from the new Bater Leverkusen boss as his managed to turn around this team to what it is now. One would wonder, could this be the same team that Eric Ten Hang was about to crumble? Earlier on before the season kick started he was losing already and some people said it was only pre season and of which it wasn't something to take seriously that much, but when the season started, he was having a bad record and was sacked just after few games, that move became a turning point for the club has the new coach has used the new players to achieve this.

Well you gotta be fair, in the Bundesliga they didn't really face the cream of the crop in the past weeks. Yeah they have 4 wins in a row but those wins are against Union Berlin, St.Pauli, Mainz and Freiburg. For their own aspirations, these are teams you HAVE to beat when you want to play at the top of the table.
On the other hand, in the UCL they still struggle. We all remember that 2:7 debacle against PSG and the home draw against PSV also wasn't very convincing. Let them beat a big team and we can talk about them having turned it around.

You are right actually. Bayern Leverkusen played against fair teams they could be able to win which is why it looks as if the coach is doing a great job. And for Adbitco who is trying to make comparison between the new coach and Eric Ten Hag, how many matches was ETH in-charge of Leverkusen before he was sacked? was three matches in-charge enough for a coach to give a better performance? Let us be realistic here and not always condemn the coach at every slightest opportunity.
      Even in the UCL, Bayern Leverkusen played against 2 teams they would have easily won namely, FC København and PSV Eindhoven but instead the settled for draw before the met the huge loss against PSG. I could say that there is improvement in the team but let us wait till they face more big teams, then we can analyze if the team is back on their feet.

Besides Dortmund, I think there are at least 3 more teams. Leipzig, Stuttgart, and Leverkusen. They are still in the top 5 positions and it seems the chances of causing an upset still hold a lot of hope. Stuttgart has been quite consistent in the last 2 seasons compared to Dortmund, so don't underestimate them. For Leverkusen, the chances are still there, but they have lost many key players, so it's a bit tough. Leipzig was out of the top 5 last season, but this season they have been quite active in the transfer market and they are competitive at the start of this season. I also agree about Dortmund, but I think they are not much better than the other 3 teams.

I agree that Borussia Dortmund is too unpredictable, they are able to achieve great results because sometimes they are even able to beat Bayern Munich, and then they lose the easiest matches, compromising all the word done. I think a couple of years ago they literally lost the Bundesliga at the very last game, and it's not the first that happens. It's nice to see that Stuttgart is coming back, I still remember when they had a very young Philip Lahm, they had a great team in the early 2000s.

I think Dortmund’s performance is not always going as started; sometimes they find it difficult to keep their consistency, and that is why they are too unpredictable. Dortmund have raised many talented players, but keeping them was the problem.

I think they have realised that they made some mistakes selling their best players back then; they won’t do that right now. They also want to be very competitive and win some major trophies.

Right now Dortmund is in good performance; they are in the fourth position. There are still a lot of matches to be played; we will see because Stuttgart and Leipzig are not playing. They are also ready for this season, as is Leverkusen; they are behind Dortmund with just 1 point. We don’t know if they will do well and overtake.

It is very unlikely that Leverkusen will win against Bayern Munich. But I expect a competitive match. Leverkusen has played well against Munich in the last two seasons

An interesting statistic is that Bayern munich have not won any of their last 5 bundesliga matches against Leverkusen. In 3 of  the 5 matches, the teams shared two points. And leverkusen won in two of the matches. Bayern munich last won against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga in  2022.
But Bayern Munich are in very good form this season. And they are in their best form compared to the last few seasons. Kompany will definitely want to avenge the previous defeats.

[Solodoski]

Bayern Munich have one of the very best trio in European football this season. Looking at the likes of Luis Diaz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise, I think the club can bring home major trophies this season. Bayern Munich have been banging goals with the pivotal performance coming from these players. Vincent Kompany managing the club in proper style is definitely everything the club's board and supporters wants to see, a major improvement all round that will serve path for crucial development.

Bayern Munich is definitely the best team in the German league right now and definitely one of the best in Europe right now. What I really like about them is how they score freely and that only tell you that they have very good attackers that are really performing well right now.
They should certainly win the Bundesliga, because I don't see any team in the league close to them right now. So depending they will win a trophy and I also believe they will do well in the champions league, but I really can't say they will win it, but they are amongst the favorite to win it.

In fact, Dortmund is one of the clubs that is capable of providing competition to Bayern Munich in the title hunt. However, due to their inability to maintain consistent performance and being too quick to release great players to other clubs, they always fail at the end of the season. The problem that Dortmund is experiencing is due to overhauling the squad, the management will sell talented young players and then bring in other young players to be polished into stars. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is more dominant in bringing in great players to improve the quality of its squad, that is the reason why Bayern Munich is easier to dominate the Bundesliga because they do not have equal rivals.

The coach that came after Eric Ten Hag was sacked, knew that he will face the same fate as Ten Hag and his job will on the line if he doesn't perform and deliver as expected, so there was no much room for over familiarity with the players so everyone had to be professional and do their job. Eric Ten Hag came with a different approach of building gradually same approach he was applying at Manchester United that didn't yield anything. Anywhere he is now I believe he is following the progress of Bayer Leverkusen to see that were he was failing, someone is doing it better with the same set of players. Leverkusen management will be proud they took such bold decision.

Borussia Dortmund are returning to form at an incredible pace in both the German league and the Champions League, and it's completely fair. We saw that this team was able to show its dominant form the last time they went to Copenhagen but when they went to the Allianz Arena, the biggest obstacle they faced was the host club Bayern. Anyway, the last time they went to Parken to play a UCL match I was surprised because Guirassy, the most reliable player in their team's attack line, did not have a chance to score in this match, even against the Danish club, his rating points were only 3.9.

For me, the only team that can stop Bayern is Dortmund, there's no doubt about it They're having a great season and have every chance of winning, but they have to be more consistent I'd like to see a hard-fought Bundesliga, for the excitement that Leverkusen gave us in the Xabi era to return, but with Dortmund.

If we compare Borussia Dortmund's performance in the past five seasons and their current performing this season, there's a big difference in terms of their performance this season, and they are determined to win their matches, which makes you believe they can stop Bayern Munich from winning the title. Yes, Borussia Dortmund looks quite different this season, but I don't think they can stop Bayern Munich from winning this season's title because Bayern Munich is also determined to win their matches and win the title back to back after Bayer Leverkusen stopped them from winning it two seasons ago.

Bayern Munich host Leverkusen home...

About this game I assume most of us would think the same. Bayern Munich to win comfortably.    However... They are going to play against PSG away in the Champions League by only a 2-day break.

This makes me question whether Kompany would decide to take some risks by a little rotation. But honestly even in that situation I wouldn't trust Leverkusen to steal points. Bayern Munich are given only 1.24 for the win so I don't see it worth taking the risk either.

After their first lost in the league this season, bayern leverkusen are yet to lose another game in the bundesliga, they have dropped a couple of points though, because they have drawn 2 bundesliga games. Honestly they are also a decent side which could cause Bayern Munich problems too but winning them at Allianz Arena is something I’m not sure about. The fact that bayern will play PSG in the champions league this coming Tuesday will have a big say in the result when they play tomorrow.

I think finally Bayern have Their first big test of the season when they travel to Paris and play PSG, let see if their ruthlessness this season have been because they have easy opponent or because they are currently the best attacking team in the world now.

Well if kompany decides to gamble and probably rest some players then trust me Bayern Munich will find it hard against Leverkusen, I mean Leverkusen are not a bad side remember and they are currently the champions of the bundesliga if am not mistaken although just that Bayern Munich are in tremendous form that no one now would even believe that they can possibly lose a game and that's why the bookmarkers have given them that small odd against Bayer Leverkusen.

Ten Hag was sacked after just a few Bundesliga matches, and it was almost impossible for him to turn Leverkusen around. The arrival of a new coach has given Leverkusen hope, and so far he has been able to improve the team, although overall, he hasn't been at his best. Considering the qualities of these two coaches, we can say that Ten Hag has failed, while Kasper has been quite successful in getting Leverkusen back on track, having suffered only one defeat so far, and that was in the Champions League against PSG.

And in those few matches, Bayern Leverkusen were almost getting to the bottom of the table, with where Bayern Leverkusen is at now, the management is being justified for sacking him earlier so someone else can come redeem the team. They sold some of their players which was understandable and it became a point of excuse for Ten Hang, I inclusive used it as an excuse for him but with the new coach, it's still same sets of players that his using to be where they are now.

Even though Bayern Munich will play PSG in two days after their match with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, I don't think Vincent Kompany will want to drop points against Bayer Leverkusen because Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund are the two teams that can possibly give Bayern Munich a run in the race for the Bundesliga title this season, and if Bayern Munich drop points against Bayer Leverkusen, they will give Borussia Dortmund a chance to close in on them in the league table. I see Vincent Kompany as a coach that treats every match as important. I believe Vincent Kompany would play with his finest men against Bayer Leverkusen in order to take the full points.

The Champions league match is very important for Bayern Munich. And a win against leverkusen in the ubndesliga match is an honor for Bayern Munich.

kompany will definitely want to win both matches. But , Munich will not face any  problem if they lose the Bundesliga match or lose points. Because Munich has won every Bundesliga match so far. Bayern Munich are 5 points ahead of Leipzig in second place in the table. So Bayern will remain at the top of the table even if they lose a point in a match.

On the other hand , if we lose this match in the champions league, there is a big possibility that we will not see the Munich team in the top 5 of the table. The teams in  the top 5 of the champions league table are equal on points. They won all three  matches. Now if  munich loses against psg it will not be possible for them to stay in the top 5 of the table.

If Bayern Leverkusen were still struggling to win their matches the way they were doing under Erik Ten Hag's guidance, I would have agreed that Vicente Kompany will likely gamble Bayern Munich's match against Bayer Leverkusen by resting some of his key players, because there's a likelihood Bayern Munich can beat Bayer Leverkusen without their full squad. But since Bayer Leverkusen are gradually finding their feet under their new head coach, I don't think Vincent Kompany will take such a risk because by doing that, Vincent Kompany is doing what will cause Bayern Munich not to win Bayer Leverkusen.
