Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Dzwaafu11]

But we saw what he did vs. that real challenger in Germany when he got the opportunity. He created a strong army in Bayer Leverkusen. I think during this low phase, he should go back to Germany to reignite himself; after all, he is so familiar with Germany from the time he was a player.
Then he can maybe stroll around England once he is fully back on his feet (I know at one point Liverpool might need him)

Xabi Alonso should return to Germany and prove himself again, if only to regain the respect he lost after his sacking from Real Madrid. Maybe he can set an example by going to Germany that a humble team can be transformed into a high-quality team with a committed disciple. Bayer Leverkusen need the same old manager to take them from the current situation they are in to defeat German giants Bayern Munich and win the title, as he has shown in the past. He is tested with this team and the conditions.

Maybe it will happen as you said, but don’t forget that this same Bayer Leverkusen sold their key players, the players are doing very well, goals scorers and more they sold them. And I think what made this team worst is that, the sold their key player and still go ahead and change their coach.

You can see that this is going to be seriously new in this team. Because getting in new player that will suit the position for the players they sold and then changing of the coach is another thing, I hope Xabi Alonso will get back to Leverkusen again and when he’s back things should get back to how he left the team before.

Leverkusen host Bremen tomorrow. A good opportunity to end the losing streak in the Bundesliga for them. In the beginning of the season they got a 3-3 draw against each other.

I assume this time Leverkusen wouldn't mess up. But I still can't trust them highly though so won't bet on their win. They lost to Olympiacos in their most recent game in the Champions League too. 

This is the Bundesliga and I think it will be a little different from the champions league which they lost to olympiacos this week. Werder Bremen should not be too much of a difficult team for them to win against, so I’m trusting them a little to be able to convert this game to three points in their favour.

Bayern Leverkusen may not have been the best of team and put in the best of performances we want from them, but I think their performance is not that bad to speak of and also their tendency of making it farther this season is quite realistic even if they can’t beat the topper team in the Bundesliga now.

Securing three points against Bremen tomorrow is their hope. They've been playing poorly for a while. Since their unavoidable defeat, Leverkusen has dropped to sixth place in the standings. This win is crucial to maintaining their position and moving back into the top three. They could recall Xabi, of course. But will their former glory return if Xabi returns? Is that a significant opportunity for Leverkusen?

The loss to Olympiacos is understandable, as Olympiacos are indeed that good overall; they are far better than Leverkusen.

But we're witnessing another miracle: Bayern have already scored 71 goals in 18 games, and it looks like their record of over 100 goals is inevitably set to be broken. They even have a chance to surpass Real Madrid's record of 121 goals.

That's a thing which is hard to grasp surely! An average of 4 goals per match is beyond expectations at this point of the season. This shows the dominance level of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga very clearly.

That record of theirs shouldn't be hard to break for them as of now. Even if they keep a 3-goal average from now on they can still finish with a total around 120 goals. I'm keen on seeing them break Real Madrid's record too.

The loss to Olympiacos is understandable, as Olympiacos are indeed that good overall; they are far better than Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen has lost two straight matches in the league before losing against Olympiacos in the champions League and they are not sure of winning against Bremen tomorrow because the team is in a very bad condition which the current manager is finding it difficult to provide the solution it they fail to win tomorrow they will further go down in the league and they stand the chance to lose their position in the league which could see them qualifying for the champions League next season.

Xabi Alonso is not linked to returning soon because the team is not talking about him if he eventually returns to the team they will start with buying good players because they let their star players leave when he left the team for Real Madrid.

Facing Werder Bremen is the teams not winning yet in last 7 matches in a row is the great moment for Bayern Leverkusen getting three points to improve current standings position have drop to the sixth place. Last 7 matches in Bundesliga, Bremen have losses 4 matches and get draw 3 matches its bad performance for stopping Bayern Leverkusen get three points in this week.

Not really difference with Bremen, actually Leverkusen has bad performance loss last three matches in a row all competition and exactly have out from the champion league spot standings in Bundesliga. If can secure three points from Bremen make close to reach to fourth position behind 4 points remaining with Stuttgart and 3 points left to drop RB Leipzig at 4th position standings.

[verdinio]

But one thing we maybe forget. In the year that Leverkusen played so well, Bayern Munich did not perform good. in normal times, Bayern would win the title every year. Looking at the current statistics, they maybe break new records and score the most points and goals in a season. Leverkusen had a sensational year and the whole team played very well together. They earned a lot of money and now they are back on track and need to improve over the coming years.

In fact, I have to say that many times these teams win because they don't find those who oppose them, I'm not saying that Leverkusen was poor, but they didn't find many difficulties in their path, so that's what, Sure there will be things that facilitated the beating, I'm just saying this!

[ITExpert]

Isn't that what the Bundesliga is like, except for when Leverkusen managed to overthrow Bayern Munich and end their title streak? Lol.

I don't expect the Bundesliga to be very exciting, as Bayern Munich is so superior that they continue to dominate the league. What's interesting is the battle for the top four, and actually, the bottom half, where teams are fighting to escape the relegation zone, is more interesting than the fight for the title.

The points gap between the top and second placed teams is too great, and the problem is that the top team also finds it very difficult to experience a negative trend, making it nearly impossible to catch up.

There is no doubt that Bayern Munich really makes the Bundesliga very boring or joyless. And I think it sounds very weird that a team makes a title league boring with the lack of interest of the viewers due to their consecutive and continuously winning. Because Bayern Munich has a really deep dominance in the Bundesliga and the swearity of their dominance is this that there is no chance of winning anything other team in the Bundesliga this time. And if people watch Bundesliga they just watch it due to the remaining top position that which team will have the courage to face Bayern Munich and defeat them on their calibre. Because now it's the need of the league to make it interesting and worthy to watch again. As all the viewers already know, Bayern Munich is the winner of the Bundesliga this time also.

Leverkusen team lost their taste and became a shadow of themselves after both the engine room and coach was signed and hired by bigger clubs. This is the reason behind their poor performance and I wouldn't blame them for that because the players wanted to leave since Xabi Alonso has decided to go to Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso didn't achieve his purpose of going to Real Madrid assuming he knows, he should have stayed back and nurture the team to perfection. I know he will be regretting his actions where ever he is. Are you sure he's going to come back to Leverkusen?

[giorgione]

I agree with this take. As Leverkusen has already demonstrated, Xabi Alonso is familiar with the Bundesliga and he knows how to create a competitive team. A comeback would not damage his reputation at all, in fact, it could make it stronger in case he has one more confrontation with Bayern. Coaches like him are a definite advantage to the league and his presence would bring even more balance, excitement and the actual title competition rather than having Bayern win every season.

Mm i think that in fact the best environment for him and the champion that best suits his way of coaching is precisely that of the Bundesliga, which let's say is the best of all he has also won the championship which does not even seem to him to be such a foregone conclusion, he certainly knows what he is doing!

[cande86]

Xabi Alonso returning to the bundesliga, honestly won't be a bad idea. If he declares his intention that he wants to returns to the bundesliga many clubs would be fighting for his signature.Bayer Leverkusen could call him back to coach the team. The Bundesliga need a competent coach like Xabi Alonso who can be contending for the title Xabi Alonso returning to the bundesliga would make the league more competitive and challenging to Bayern Munich.

No sure it would be a juicy idea for Xabi who nevertheless has a very good memory and is certainly very competent because he also won that championship and he also played it, he has experience to sell and I think it is something that could happen.

ST Pauli : Hamburger SV 0:0

oh man, that was boring... a really weak derby today. St. Pauli and Hamburger SV drew 0-0. 92 minutes and only two or three chances for both teams.
we've seen better in recent years.

Leverkusen is the team which is responsible for their own low levels. Now they are going to get a chance to neglect the concept of their continuous failure. The team has the potential and there were times when Bayern leverkusen was expected as the good or competitive team in the Bundesliga. When people start thinking that Leverkusen will manage to kill the boring element from Bundesliga by their performance. But their one bad decision drives the team to the failure field. And this is also true that Bayern Leverkusen again needs a manager who knows how to expose the talent of the team and bring them into their best version they were ever. As a manager's position in any team should be very strong and worthy as this is the thing on which the team based that either they will be good or bad.

In football anything is possible, but if Xabi Alonso returns to the Bundesliga not to be coaching a team like Bayern Munich, I doubt he can deliver a Bundesliga title for that team, as it might be different from his time with Leverkusen. His experience managing Leverkusen might be the reason why people say Xabi Alonso could be successful again in the Bundesliga, but when a team like Bayern Munich is much stronger, it will be difficult for him to achieve the success he had at Leverkusen previously.

Bayer Leverkusen itself is at dead end now, being in 6th position of Bundesliga and losing to league leader Bayern Munich by 21 points as of end of January 2026. Single misjudgment that caused this fall was probably lack of stability in managerial position. Club dismissed Erik ten Hag after three games, and they appointed Kasper Hjulmand, yet club has not been consistent with an alarming defensive culture. Although Grimaldo, who is capable of scoring 10 goals this season, and Patrik Schick offer fair share of talent, this team does not seem to play as energetically as they did last year on their way to becoming history of this sport. Adding to shocking turn of events that might possibly salvage the season, Real Madrid has released Xabi Alonso, which has sparked colossal speculation that he could be returning to Leverkusen to save club that has fallen off edge of European qualification completely. Today is focus however of home match against Werder Bremen at BayArena and Hjulmand and his team are in need of three game losing streak being broken, presenting case that they still have ability to challenge best.

Bayer Leverkusen itself is at dead end now, being in 6th position of Bundesliga...

Bayer Leverkusen is sixth assuming they will continue leading the game against Werder Bremen and winning it. They can progress to the third position if Leipzig and Hoffenheim will lose points in their games. Hoffenheim is one goal behind and Leipzig match is still goalless. It depends also from the outcomes of Stuttgart game, yet they are able to advance if they continue winning.

Real Madrid has released Xabi Alonso, which has sparked colossal speculation that he could be returning to Leverkusen to save club that has fallen off edge of European qualification completely.

I doubt Xabi Alonso will return to Bayer Leverkusen but he might join another team in Serie A, PSG maybe or one of the top teams in Premier League. There was rumours about Liverpool but remains not solid until now. I think it was just speculation.

[KTChampions]

Yes, Xabi is already above the level when he went to Leverkusen in the middle of the season and lifted them from the bottom of the league table. He should definitely have a better choice now, especially given how many top clubs are giving almost every coach a chance (Bayern with Kompany, Liverpool with Slot, Real Madrid with Xabi haha). Maybe Xabi's optimal strategy is to simply sit back and wait for Slot to be fired   At best, Slot will work until the end of the season.

Of course, Liverpool is one of the options for him, but managing a team in Germany would also be another. Because the successes he achieved with Bayer Leverkusen would whet the appetite of many German teams. German teams, thinking about the possibility of the team reaching better positions thanks to Xabi's influence, will probably make him an offer. I think the chances of seeing him in the Bundesliga again are not small at all.

Like what teams? Stuttgart or Hoffenheim?  The place in Bayern is taken, everything else is at a lower level compared to the Premier League, even Dortmund. Look, he made a huge rise with Bayer Leverkusen in three seasons, then took over at Real Madrid and was fired. There have been too many events for a new coach, there's no point in rushing into a new adventure right now, it's better to wait until the end of the season and start working properly in a good place.

[Mabebe]

It's almost happening again today, Bayern munich is about to make some people's tickets go south. In the champions league there was so many complaints about Bayern munich even though they won that match but the lack of goals was the major problem and today again they are playing draw with Augsburg 1-1 with less than ten minutes to full time. A draw will send so many tickets that has Bayern munich in it to the thrash can.

Securing three points against Bremen tomorrow is their hope. They've been playing poorly for a while. Since their unavoidable defeat, Leverkusen has dropped to sixth place in the standings. This win is crucial to maintaining their position and moving back into the top three. They could recall Xabi, of course. But will their former glory return if Xabi returns? Is that a significant opportunity for Leverkusen?

The loss to Olympiacos is understandable, as Olympiacos are indeed that good overall; they are far better than Leverkusen.

Hopefully Leverkusen gets to win Bremen in thier next fixture, literally it is an essential fixture for them and they really do need the three points they will be getting from that game, at least it will help them position better in the Bundesliga such that they will not have to struggle to qualify for other European competitions in the season ahead.  Leverkusen will need time before they can ever recover back to the form they were as at the time they had Xabi as their coach.

The season is still long, and anything can happen. Leverkusen is not only relying on the match against Bremen, but they must fight in all remaining matches to earn winning points. Their position in the standings will still see many changes due to tight competition, aside from Munich, which is already leading. Leverkusen is currently ahead 1-0, but their performance is not impressive, while Munich is currently trailing 1-2 against Augsburg, an unexpected result.
