Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Creeper0]

To be fair there aren't that many teams in the world that can lose by half them 1-0, and then come back and score five goals to win the game. Once again Bayern scored a lot of goals, they are really gunning for that world record and could very well happen. They will be the team with the most goals in a season, within the top divisions of big five leagues. Leipzig isn't really guilty here, they did all they could do but when you are playing against Bayern Munich, there isn't much you can do.

This was a common occurrence and we see such matches often. The second half is much more important than the first half and for the big teams the second half is the main time of the game. If you are used to the games of big teams like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City then you must know how terrible they are in the second half when they are behind in the first half. Bayern Munich is also one of those teams and the incidents are also the same.

Honestly, we can see that Freiburg and Augsburg are putting up a great fight in the Bundesliga today. These two teams may not be the dominant teams in this league but then in today's match they are performing like dominant ones actually, I'm watching this match live. At this stage it seems that both teams are equally strong offensively as seventy-one minutes have passed in this match and even now the game is a draw between them, that is, we can see that the score line of this game is 2-2.

At this stage it is correct that, Statistically, Freiburg is much stronger this new season but now it seems that if this team had won today's game, they would have been able to earn the same points as Frankfurt.

The match is currently 2-2 and looks like it will end in a draw, Augsburg and Freiburg did not let go of their chances, playing very well for both of them I think we did see a good match, especially the goal created in the second half changed the tension that was getting hotter for a while, Augsburg needs to get points to avoid the threat of the relegation zone, they will definitely fight hard, and a draw is much better than losing.

You need to read the annexes to the rule, mainly annex 3.b and 3 c:

Annex 3b >  suspends the rule entirely if the leading club has won the title the year before, or has won it in 3 times in the last 5 years,  as defined in §11(7) of the DFL Implementing Guidelines.
Annex 3c >  the 20-point threshold is calculated on an adjusted points-per-match basis, excluding Matchdays 1–5 and any fixtures affected by weather, VAR malfunction, or any game with a result altered by the AGR Abfallentsorgungs-Gesellschaft Ruhrgebiet!

Bayern Munich can't stop the Bundesliga from finishing this year, not in 4 years, the only one that could have done so was Bayer Leverkusen but they were unable to put 20 points between them and the rest of the teams, excluding the first 5 matches!

Anyhow, I'm down the third time with beer money, and the next is Augsburg, two more lossess and it turns to fast food money, the nice thing is that with such high odds, it will never reach BMW money  

Ha, ok you got me, I overlooked the annex. It is quite hidden though, thanks for sharing the link via PM.

I really think the German Bundesliga statutes are a mess. You can see from the discussion here that many people do not know the Bundesliga immediately stops under certain circumstances. But frankly, who the hell is supposed to read all of that?

Could you please share this link here too? I'd love to take a look because, once again, I'm failing at finding these rules that, in my opinion, make very little sense and, if all these is true, I'm surprised it never came up before. There are videogames like Football Manager where people win every single match, and of course the game is based on the real rules, and even in this case, as stupid as it sounds, I read about somebody reporting that the league stopped after a certain point.

Please share the link otherwise it really sounds like a made up thing (for what reason?). Thanks!

Leverkusen continue to come down in the standings. That terrible home loss against Stuttgart must have demoralized the players a lot. I know they have a missing match also but you see how they play lately.

Since Leverkusen sold their key players, they’re facing a lot of challenges in the Bundesliga, and that’s why you can see there’s not any progress for the team, rather they’re falling down on the table. Because they’ve been totally deformed in the league this season, imagine Leverkusen who was very powerful last season, they are the one in 6th position currently.

This poor defense of them is a big problem. I know there is still another half in the season so it is early to talk about how they will end up. But with this effort it gets more difficult for them to join the Champions League next season.

Do you think defense is the only problem of Leverkusen? I don’t think so. The entire squad has problem,  that’s why they’re not performing well in most of their matches they’ve played so far.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Bayern played this game in two different narratives for two different halves of the game. One half was Leipzig's slim 1 goal lead in the game and the other half is Bayern's dominant victory campaign, with the return of Musiala, Kimmich, and Davies.
The functionality of their attack is incredible! Every game they have 3+ different goal score on the sheet. Michael Olise came off the bench in the second half and delivered a hat trick of assists plus a goal.

What a player! It's always a joy watching this team because even when victory is secured, they don't let up and fight fiercely until the final whistle. They show no mercy to anyone, no matter the opponent, even if the score is high. They play as if it's their last match. For most clubs, once victory is guaranteed, they'd substitute key players, slow the game down, and waste time. Perhaps all teams focus on ball possession after securing the win. 71 goals after just 18 games is absolutely insane. However, at this rate they will finish the season with more or less 120 goals. This is why Bayern Munich is a more special team in the Bundarsliga.

And the other mistake was bringing in the wrong coach, in this case it was Erik Ten Hag, not that I hate him, but we know that under him, Leverkusen start to the season was a mess, maybe if Management had chosen someone more appropriate to replace Xabi or Hjulmand (current coach) to handle them at the start, Leverkusen might have been better off. But I don't think it's easy for them to recreate the same moment as when they won the title, even if they bring back Xabi, it's difficult, considering the many quality players they have sold.

Bayern Munich has been able to show its power in their recent match against RB Leipzig, when they changed score that was at 1-0 to 5-1. Change in this game of two halves came with start of stars such as Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Alphonso Davies into game, which started plan takeover with some scoring spread throughout whole team. Bayern has no mercy rule, which shows that they never slow down even when they are ahead of their rivals, as shown by Michael Olise coming off bench to give them goal and hat-trick worth of passes. They have 71 goals in only 18 games, which makes them likely get more than 120 goals during season and mean constant pressure to hold other team on back foot until last whistle.

The draw is very detrimental for a team like Freiburg, although it could be very fortunate for a team like Augsburg, as with the extra point from that match, Augsburg now has a three-point gap over the relegation zone. Freiburg, meanwhile, still has to settle for a top-eight finish, behind Frankfurt, who haven't looked particularly good this season, having only won once in their last five matches, and the rest have been painful. And next week, the competition looks set to be even more exciting, even if it's not for the trophy, but seeing the bottom-placed teams fighting to avoid relegation is where the enjoyment of watching a competition like the Bundesliga lies.

Before the Christmas break happened in the Bundesliga last year,  Bayer Leverkusen were improving their performance gradually, and they were also winning matches, but it's so surprising that Bayer Leverkusen are gradually getting back to their old ways of losing matches. Bayer Leverkusen defense line isn't the only problem at Bayer Leverkusen. I believe Bayer Leverkusen is struggling this season because of the key players they sold in the summer transfer window.

[Emitdama]

Augsburg needs to get points to avoid the threat of the relegation zone, they will definitely fight hard, and a draw is much better than losing.

Augsburg is having terrible season with their performance is on decline which and leading their chances for relegation, they have just 2 wins out of their last 10 games with 5 loses and 3 draws, their attack is on lower side with scored just 3 goals in last 5 games, if they are not bringing improvement they are going to face the consequences for that.

Due to recent performance, there is no clarity which team is to be for relegating because currently 6 teams are performing on same level, this is surely the worst thing for Bundesliga as many teams are on decline and their quality and consistency are going down, they need to be working on improving their strategy.

[Velvet78]

...71 goals after just 18 games is absolutely insane. However, at this rate they will finish the season with more or less 120 goals.

4 goals per game is crazy statistic for sure! I have checked out the Bundesliga records so far. 101 goals is the record in one season which belongs to Bayern Munich.

It shouldn't be too hard to break it for them this year I assume? Still 16 more games to go. The gap between them and the rest of the teams is just insanely big. It is like a playground for Bayern Munich here.

Bayern Munich is also one of those teams and the incidents are also the same.

Both halves are actually very important because the first half does have some effect on the possible outcome of the second, if the first half happens to be that the team is doing grate, they become even more motivated to do better in the second half and taking the lead in the first half gives them thag advantage of staying stronger through the second half and if it happens that in the first half, they are already loosing, they begin to need to do more work for them to succeed in the second half.

Bayer Leverkusen after Xabi Alonso left the club had a bit of decline, clearly winning cn that is not the same thing as getting to coach Real Madrid and winning in fact he had a bad experience it was better if he stayed in Germany in my opinion, Now I don't know if anything can change again

[Sandra_hakeem]

Eintracht Frankfurt missed an opportunity to close the gap on the Champions League spots after playing out an awful 3–3 draw result with Werder Bremen. Frankfurt took an early lead through Kalimuendo and regained it with the help of Nnamdi, but late goals from Werder Bremen’s Stage and Milosevic turned the game on its head. It took a stoppage time equalizer from Knauff to rescue a point for the Eintracht Frankfort in a swerved encounter at the Weserstadion.

Although, Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen delivered a thrilling encounter.
However Eintracht Frankfort earnestly needs to work on their loosed defense, maybe with that, they can at least have 1 normal game without making every of their matches feels like a basketball game.
They had Conceded 27 goals in 10 consecutive Bundesliga away matches so far, while Werder Bremen have 7 consecutive Bundesliga matches without a win 3 loses and 4 draws . Best of luck to Eintracht Frankfurt as they travel for their away game to face Qarabag in their upcoming Champions League fixture.

But I don't think it's easy for them to recreate the same moment as when they won the title, even if they bring back Xabi, it's difficult, considering the many quality players they have sold.

That was a big mistake made by the management of Bayer Leverkusen, firstly I never expected them to left Xabi Alonso leave the team when they needed him the most in the team because his presence brought a lot of good changes to them they should have made him a mouth watering offer so that he could reject the move to Real Madrid but when he left they had the opportunity of getting a better replacement but they brought a disaster upon themselves by the choice of a coach they made. They have a coach who is trying now but they can't repeat their performance when he had Xabi Alonso.

The Bundesliga is a championship practically monopolized by several teams mostly the top two which are Bayern Munich and BVB so I don't see why they have so many problems, we know it and the level is not the same when you see these teams they don't succeed because the gap is very wide

Since Leverkusen sold their key players, they’re facing a lot of challenges in the Bundesliga, and that’s why you can see there’s not any progress for the team, rather they’re falling down on the table. Because they’ve been totally deformed in the league this season, imagine Leverkusen who was very powerful last season, they are the one in 6th position currently.

Bayer Leverkusen now completely messed up with their performance, failed to be consistent, they need to be doing some home work on their coordination, they have no depth in their squad and they had 6 defeats which were most in top half of the league table, after the exit of Xabi Alonso and their few top players, they are really suffering.

Now they have good funds which can give them good transformation for setting up this club into a good level but for having this needs a good coach and better technical team which would bring good players, chances are not good for them to have spot into top four still they need some good motivation, their next game in Champions league can give them chance of having spot into top 24.

Leverkusen are under increasing pressure after an inconsistent first half of the season, and are now sitting in sixth place. As a team that once toppled Bayern Munich's dominance and achieved a perfect unbeaten domestic league season, it is highly unusual for Leverkusen to experience such a slump. Leverkusen suffering stems from their inability to retain some of their top players and the coach who transformed the team into one of Bayern Munich toughest challengers. Now that they are in a more difficult situation after being knocked out of the top four, management must utilize the resources available to make changes to maintain their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

[Sandra_hakeem]

 Right now, there is no complete player than Harry Kane. He can dominate a match without scoring or assisting: doing the silent work deep, helping in the build up, controlling the tempo, and then delivering an iconic pass in the final goal. Lucho was fantastic as always, he's definitely becoming an amazingly intense driver for the Bayern's motor, passing hear and there! Although it wasn't Olise's best game.

Gnabry was magical with that finish! Both the first and second touch by Gnabry was just insane levels of creativity and awareness. Especially when you are that close to goal and it's so tempting to just put a shot on target as quickly as possible, he tremendously chip touch to go past the defender, maintained a superb composure, catching the keeper out of his lines with a precise chip ball right over him, that bounced perfectly at the back of the net. I guess that was an high IQ goal.
