Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[BlackBaron]

This is different when Xabi still won this team, because when Xabi handled Leverkusen they could often hold Bayern Munich to a draw. Maybe it's also because of the Bayern Munich factor that played not like this season last season. But the difference will definitely be felt by the fans and maybe they miss the figure of Xabi Alonso.

The loss of Xabi Alonso is certainly felt, but what's worse is that they also sold several key players this season, which has drastically reduced Leverkusen strength. This is also evident in the statistics against Bayern Munich, where they only managed five shots, with only one on target.

This season Leverkusen's target I think can only be in the top 4 of the standings, because to catch Bayern Munich and regain the title from them it is a difficult task. So top 4 is very enough for them.

Yes, they should be aware of this and lower their expectations. A top-four finish wouldn't be bad if they managed to secure it by the end of the season, and that's quite realistic for them.

Players who last season contributed to their good play and even won titles. But one by one they left following the departure of Xabi ALonso too. They seem to be resigned to it, because they are not doing anything to make their players stay.
 So I agree that the departure of their important players had a big influence too.

Yes they have to think more realistically, not to belittle them, but we will also definitely see based on their performance so that we can make an assessment of which position is realistic for them to achieve this season.

I just have this weird feeling that Bayern Munich will edge out PSG in their encounter but it won't be easy. Bayern Munich is in a mad form right and likewise PSG too at least in the Champions League. They have beaten Barcelona even with a squad that almost it first 11 was out injured they still found a way to win. Bayern on the other hand will be looking to maintain their 100% record in all competitions. The game is going to be like clash of the titans.

PSG have a 13-3 goal record in the Champions League, while Bayern have a 12-2 record, which is truly the record of titans (although Arsenal + Inter with zero goals conceded and Real with one goal conceded are also good). I don't know who will win, but I have a feeling this could be a big defeat for Bayern. This is essentially their first game against a top opponent this season. If they already believe in their invulnerability, then PSG could surprise them in a big way.

Both teams have equal chances of winning, so it's not easy to predict this match. Both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain are doing well in the Champions League, and their target here is a high target which is to be able to defend the title for Paris Saint Germain and be able to win the title again for Bayern Munich after a long time they could not get it.
A draw is likely to happen in this match, or luck will determine who will be the winner. One goal could go a long way to deciding who wins.

I would still give a slight advantage to PSG. At the moment, they are the most dominant club in Europe, which was evident in their recent match against Barcelona, when they won 2-1 (showing that the Barcelona team still isn't at the level to compete for the European championship title). They are simply currently a level above the others and remain the main favorites for the new European championship title.

Managing a top team is not easy for a coach if in a match the performance is bad then the blame is directed at the coach even though the team being faced is very strong.
Vincent Kompany is the right person for Bayern Munich this season he has changed the team's game to be more satisfying, the season is still running the pressure is still on Vincent Kompany to revive the team to stay at the top of the Bundesliga standings he is also expected to win every match.

Expecting to win every match this season is very difficult for Bayern Munich, and Kompany himself will be under considerable pressure, even though they have won dramatically in the previous fifteen matches. As the schedule becomes more congested, with Bayern facing more than just Bundesliga opponents, this will tire the players even more, making them less likely to win again when they face top European teams in the Champions League. Therefore, I don't think Bayern need to put too much pressure on Kompany this season, even though the team is already in quite good condition.

[Nheer]

I think we can all agree that is more difficult to get results managing Burnley rather than Bayern Munich: the simple fact that in Germany the news is when Bayern Munich don't win a match says it all. They just play to improve their own records, their team is so good that there is no competition so even a manager with less experience can obtain great results. Anyway Kompany is doing a great job because the games must be won on the pitch, and he's delivering.

There is no much work needed to coach Bayern Munich as you said, they have the best players in the league so no team can compete with them which makes it very boring for them sometimes. Kompany is not a bad manager but I wouldn't rate him high because of winning Bundesliga games, this is something any other coach would have done as well. I am just surprised how Thomas Tuchel managed to fail at the club when he was appointed despite having the best players in the league.

I never doubted Kompany even once because of how he performed in the premier league, he wasn't really doing great but I saw something in him and I know if he is opportune to manage a top club he will do well. It's not easy to coach a top club, it come with pressure because any loss or draw will look as if they are underperforming even if you are on a 10 match winning streak.

[Salahmu]

I think managing bunley is easier with less pressure compared to when Coaching a mighty club like Bayern Munich. When Bayern fails to win a single match,more gamblers will lose their bet that day because Bayern Munich is a club that is aways expected to win all their games. You can see where the pressure is coming, Bayern Munich should be winning and not losing.  

Managing big and small is almost the same thing both the advantage and the challenges, coaching a small team might seem low expectations from the coach but they are actually expecting good accomplishments from the coach so if under the coaching and the club is swimming to the relegation that's when the coach will no that they have not been happy with his coaching in that club so his replacement will be a step from his another failure. Coaching a big team that usually win the trophy will also demand trophy from the the new coach because they cannot be happy that before the coach joined the club there often trophy is no longer close for them because of there negative change so actually there is an intense demand from this two.

It is difficult to win every match without losing, they will definitely lose whether it is just one or two matches at an unexpected time, but that will not make Vincent Kompany feel depressed because losing just one or two matches is understandable as long as they remain at the top of the standings and their opponents lose more than that so that it is not easy to overtake Bayern Munich, but before that happens, Bayern Munich will try their best to win in any match they play unless something bad happens, for example, they get a red card or their mainstay player gets injured, that will affect Bayern performance.

[snipie]

I still have no clue how Bayern Munich managed to find Vincent Kompany. Like this dude was some Burnely manager who relegated at premier league. He managed Anderlecht and wasn't good, and then he managed Burnley and they relegated with him, so there is absolutely zero CV that would make it any sense for them to hire such a person.

It is true that Vincent Kompany was not that successful with the previous teams he managed. I don't recall exactly what happened during the period when he joined Bayern Munich but I think there wasn't many options for Bayern Munich at that time and their ex managers didn't achieve what they wanted for them and they lost the title that year.
I doubt Bayern Munich took a random decision but Kompany was the best available option back then. Everyone knows that managing weak teams isn't an easy task even for the top managers in the world. Many of top coaches were sacked in less than a year in several clubs and here is Kompany sitting in top with Bayern. If ever he leaves them, I doubt he can be as successful with other clubs.

And is it realistic for a team to always win? Quite alright, Vincent Kompany is doing a great job at bayern Munich and it's applaudable but they will surely lose some games as time goes on. Losing games doesn't mean a team or the coach is bad but when it becomes too much it becomes a thing of concern. Coaching a big club normally comes with a price and that price is the pressure it mount on you. In return, if you're able to succeed managing such club, it add value to your career and experience that put you ahead of others in the market. I still commend Kompany but I will rate him higher based on his performance in the champions league because it's been a tradition for more than a decade now since bayern is dominating the Bundesliga. This means Kompany is not doing anything different unless he prove otherwise in the champions league.

Definitely you used in the sentence makes it counter the fact that Bayern cannot play 34 matches for the season without losing any game. Bayer Leverkusen during 23/24 season didn't lose any of their matches at the time they won the Bundesliga title. They performed in 34 games, won 28 games and drew 6 out of the whole fixtures. Bayern Munich are top performing, despite how difficult it might seem, they can do that if they maintain this solid performance.

Burnley lacked the quality players to maintain their Premier League place under Kompany, Manchester United also failed to beat them at home that season, but even after replacing Kompany, they returned to the Premier League with a new manager and signed more players. A manager will not win games unless they have great players to compete with other teams, if Bayern Munich does not spend so much time gathering players, they might struggle in their games this season.

Bayern Munich is performing well in all competitions this season, but they have not faced a top team like PSG this season. I am afraid that they may lose tonight since I am not taking on any side to win because both teams are strong. Bayern Munich remains unbeaten this season, while PSG has lost one game, we don't know if PSG will end Bayern Munich winning streak today.

Mate there are two ways we should talk about this, you just brought a good example which validates the fact that bayern Munich can win the league unbeaten which is possible and also not possible because bayern Munich and Leverkusen are different clubs with different tactics, am not saying bayern is not performing very well or they don't have the team to keep to clean sheet this season but am only saying that despite that you got an example of what the other club did when the lifted the league trophy, it might not be the same with bayern, in football nothing is certain but let's hope for the best for bayern.

After all you said addressing my post, we ended up saying the same thing. It is difficult to go unbeaten but that doesn't omit the possibility of such happening, Bayern are stronger that is why i wouldn't raise any doubt, going unbeaten is either they win or share points, if they make up their mind they can achieve the record, teams that are supposed to compete immensely for the title are showing much weakness, Bayern are not under any pressure, i believe they can have a long winning streak.

[Adbitco]

Well frankly, both teams has the capacity to win each other but I'm already picking a side right now, even though PSG is playing at home, I still feel that Bayern Munich might actually narrowly edge them out. Both teams are dangerous with the sets of players they have at their disposal, but I will still have to pick a side in this encounter. Bayern are in a mad run of form in all coms this season and their coach is not looking like he wants his team to slow down.

that was an insane record for Xabi Alonso and his team, like no one could have believe a team like Bayern Leverkusen can actually pull such Storm while teams like Dortmund Leipzig and Bayern Munich are in the same league with them, like honestly speaking I recommend Xabi Alonso for that, but the fact is if truly this Vincent Kompany's team wants to achieve such record I think it's still very much possible as they have gone unbeaten since the start of the season and they are very much in a crazy form, like I actually hope them to do that.

Nah, no matter how great you are, you are not going to end with 34 wins at the end of the season, that's just not realistic. We are going to see them not win all the games, they will get a draw or two, maybe even a loss.

But obviously that doesn't really matter, because at the end of the day winning the title is the only thing that matters and it is quite obvious that they are going to win the title, there isn't any team that could be as good as them so there isn't even a doubt about it. So if they win like 29-30 games this season, that won't matter, that won't be a "bad" result just because they won so far and they are expected to do better. I don't even care if they lose 5 games, as long as they win the title, that is good enough.

[Lida93]

My expectations in that game was that Bayern Munich would have a grueling moment winning Leverkusen as it would be that Vincent Kompany wasn't going to use some of his first team players in the game it was going to be relieving for Leverkusen to show some quality. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich started producing the goals quickly in the second half from 25 minutes. They played their role so well, indicating that they have the squad depth to manage the two games despite the short time interval.

Vincent Kompany knew what his team would be facing against PSG but seeing that their second team would defeat Leverkusen he managed the team so well they just got the win easy starting from the 25 minutes. I had expected them to have a difficult game seeing the little improvement in the Bayer Leverkusen team but the odd that was given to Munich couldn't make me doubt their chances of winning and at the end you saw them getting an easy win when they were expected to rotate their players ahead of the champions League game.

That was some good observations, some times it is pretty hard for coaches to prosecute certain matches especially when they have far more important games within the week in European competitions, but in this case Vincent Kompany was smart enough to manage his team in order to avoid losing any key player due to the game in hand against the defending champions, PSG, fortunately Bayern Munich won that games despite facing some resistance from the Leverkusen side, Its quite commendable and I hope he would be able to replicate same feat against PSG in the UCL.

Some coaches find it difficult to execute such decisions when they don't have a good team or when they only have a functioning 1st team but for a team like Bayern Munich that almost all the players are doing well this season he shouldn't find it difficult to rotate his players when they have an important mid week match. Vincent Kompany and his team got an easy win we expected Leverkusen to give them a good fight but they were no different from the other teams that has already been defeated by Munich this season it is left for PSG to either resist Bayern Munich today or bow to them in defeat.

Bayern munich should not think that they are invincible this this and use that type of mentality to play PSG tonight, because doing so well not be a good one for Bayern munich, PSG is also topping their league and has been fantastic. Bayern should up their game tonight in France because, PSG is not one of those teams that, they have been winning in the bundesliga this season so far.


Bayern munich is likely going to drop points tonight, I don't think that PSG will lose tonight and I also don't see this game drawing tonight one of these teams will win this game and that team is likely to be PSG.

Bayern has one of the most professional mindsets in European football since they achieve everything by themselves, not through some crazy investment by some rich guy or company. Underestimating team, especially in the champions league, is they last thing they would do. They know exactly what's waiting for them and they will be prepared accordingly. I see this to be a draw, with a small edge for Bayern. Yet, everything is possible in this one.
