Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Majestic-milf]

Leipzig still remains a strange team for me because they play in bursts. Some matches they play extremely well, when they can beat their opponents 6-0, as they did against Frankfurt. At the same time, they are capable of losing to Bayer or Union Berlin, conceding three goals. As for Saint Pauli, I expected the match to be difficult because Saint Pauli need points and very often try to turn many of their matches into draws. But after Leipzig scored in the second half, I thought they would not be able to see the match through to a win. Perhaps if it had not been for the penalty in added time, they still could have won the match.

It's this inconsistency of theirs that has made them not participate in the UCL this season because before, when you think of teams that should be playing in the European competition from the Bundesliga, you'd mention RB Leipzig, but now they can teven hold down three points talk less of making it there. Presently they rank 4th in the table but if they keep making such mistakes and underestimating small teams, I bet you, they may also not get lucky to play in the UCL next season.

Finally we can see that when a team lacks financial resources, it's difficult to retain the talented players they have, as we often see at Dortmund and perhaps Leipzig is experiencing the same situation. Defending a win by only scoring one goal is difficult because the opponent can easily score a goal when they're off guard and that's exactly what happened when Leipzig faced St. Pauli. Bayern Munich also dropped points in the same week as they failed to achieve a win against Augsburg and now the points gap with Dortmund is eight points and even so I think Bayern Munich is still the strongest candidate as a title contender despite their loss in the previous week.

This thing that they always have to defend to the death is something a bit counterproductive sometimes not always defending so to exasperation is a positive thing indeed it is something tht spends energy and reduces the possibility of scoring goals, strange that a team like Dortumiund adopts this technique.

Hoffenheim's goalkeeper made his first save in the 58th minute. This shows just how bad Bremen's situation is. They scored in the 64th minute, but the goal was disallowed by VAR for offside. If Hoffenheim hadn't been reduced to 10 men, they might have won the match by a larger margin.

Werder Bremen is slowly but surely heading towards the bottom of the league. I don't know how they'll get out of this negative situation. They had no impact in the match.

Their next match is against M'gladbach. They've also been very poor in recent weeks. Werder Bremen absolutely need to get 3 points from this match, otherwise things will get increasingly difficult for them.

Sometimes when things are looking terrible, it is better to drop a division and come back. This way they can reset, plus they can build a squad to win something. Werder Bremen can't be good at Bundesliga anytime soon, that looks like quite impossible and won't happen.

What can happen however is the fact that they can drop a division, relegate I mean, and then build a new squad with some of the current players and some new, and then they can fight for a title there instead. That success could make them be a lot better when they come back to Bundesliga because they would be a team that won something instead of a team that was mostly losing, and that momentum helps teams a lot and many of them do a lot better later on.

Don't forget that these are two away games in a row, with a short break between them. Most likely, Bayern will travel from Eindhoven straight to Hamburg. Bayern are favourites in both games but the score could be close, I wouldn't place a cash bet with a handicap. By the way, does second place give any advantage over third? I don't think there's any difference, given the random results below. That is, finishing second could result in a stronger team in the Round of 16 than finishing eighth.

I still believe in Bayern Munich despite their busy schedule, because what I have seen so far is that Bayern Munich's players are quite adequate, even though there are player rotations, it will not impact the team's performance unless there are things that cannot be predicted or a surprise, otherwise the Bayern Munich team is able to play even though some of their main players are rested, so I see from that side that there is still confidence and it is right to bet on Bayern Munich.

At first I thought about betting on PSV Double Chance which is quoted at 2.25 since for PSV this is a life or death game and for Bayern it is just a friendly game that does not affect anything. But then I changed my mind and made a more modest bet on Total Over 2.5 for 1.30. In my opinion, this is a practically guaranteed outcome, as it corresponds to the average performance of the teams and the fact that PSV will definitely take risks in this game and not sit on the defensive.

Leipzig should be able to strive to qualify this season. This is due to Leverkusen's declining performance, which should be an opportunity for them to stay in the top 4 of the standings to qualify for the Champions League next season. But if they don't play well and drop points, Stuttgart and Leverkusen have the chance to overtake Leipzig's position. The situation would be different if they can maintain the victory that they are supposed to achieve in today's match.

Seriously since the Leipzig promotion into the premier league and the way they actually got promoted as in their journey path I have always been a very good admirer of them in fact I once said that if there is any Club that would end Bayern Munich dominance in the league it will be Leipzig because I expected them to actually do a Leicester City in the Bundesliga but I can say that I am highly disappointed in them for the last three season because not only that they are selling off players their recruitment isn’t as good as before and this has actually affected them in their performances.

This season I expect them to seriously be in contention yet again for champions league places because they don’t look like a team that can conveniently say they will get the game done easily. It’s only a two goal difference advantage that is actually giving them edge against Stuttgart for now but if they do not up their performance in the coming weeks the likes of Bayern Leverkusen would actually be also be in contention

Yes, that's right. For PSV this match is a matter of life and death as a win would give them hope of qualifying for the play-offs. So, given their strong domestic lead at the top of the table they've prepared well for this match. As you mentioned, I don't think PSV will play defensively.

For Bayern Munich this match won't be a problem if they drop points as their position in the standings is already secure and they're guaranteed to automatically qualify for the round of 16. However, considering they're the favorites for the UCL trophy this season winning will certainly boost their confidence especially after their surprising domestic defeat to Augsburg. They'll certainly be aiming for a win in this match, so betting on over 2.5 goals would be a good choice as both teams will be attacking each other.

[Baki202]

Leipzig performance has not been fully believed that are inconsistent so it is not surprising that Leipzig was only able to achieve a draw against a weak club like St. Pauli, at least it's true as you said getting 1 point makes the hearts of St. Pauli fans was a little relieved and did not feel humiliated when his club played at home.

Leipzig inconsistency is what have affected there position on the table because and they are always finding it very hard to win against them then you should know that clubs like this don't have anything to offer but they will still lose and since Leipzig don't have the intention and who would even expect Leipzig to draw against St. Pauli and since there last five game they only won two and then lose two and one draw and all this is just to help them not to get criticized but they can not even avoid that because and aside bayern Munich I don't see any other person because majority of the Bundesliga league clubs are acting tired and they have not even started anything already.

Although Leipzig performance is not fully consistent but their position in the standings is still in the top 4 is better compared to last season, Leipzig only needs to maintain their performance so that they do not lose more points to stay in that position or can be higher.

Leipzig might not been doing well but from the look of things even there next game they will play draw, because that is exactly what they have been doing so people don't even expect them to win any longer so any time they are playing is either people are expecting them to draw, or they lose the game. And that is what they are doing they don't want to lose any of there games at least they will be able to maintain there points. They are not even concerned about moving forward what they are concerned about is not more than how they Will maintain there point. That is what they want.

I mean I thought Leipzig wouldn't lose any points against St. Pauli no matter whether it was an away game. I was so close to turning out to be right as well. But that last minute equalizer ended me...

I was already nervous in the second half because Leipzig started giving their opponent unnecessary number of opportunities. They have still risen to the 4th position maybe but they damaged my parlay by conceding that one.

Like you, many people were expecting and even somewhat certain of Leipzig's victory, and I was one of them. But in the last minute of the game, the plan and expectations were completely destroyed and the match ended in a draw. In the first half, both teams were playing well and had good defense, but in the second half, Leipzig was playing a little loose and giving FC St. Pauli unnecessary chances. Football is very unpredictable, so we have to accept such results sometimes. But Leipzig's match should have been played seriously until the end.

Leipzig just needs to be wary of Stuttgart who can overtake their points at any time, especially since Stuttgart has been unbeaten in the last 5 matches, they could get the full 3 points in the next few matches. however, if Leipzig can maintain their performance and not waste points opportunities, they should maintain their position in the top 4 until the end of this season.

This time round, even the teams at the top of the table, with the exception of Arsenal maybe, are not going to take things lightly. This is because of the new UEFA rules regarding second-leg home advantage.

Bayern Munich want to make sure they remain at least number 2 so they can have an extended advantage as the competition progresses. So I also think it's going to be a high scoring game.

No, not just Stuttgart. Leverkusen, Frankfrut and Freiburg still have the potential to shift Leipzig position, Leverkusen has one match yet to be played, furthermore, the performance of these teams including Leipzig, is not always consistent, sometimes having to lose to weaker teams, which they should be able to win, besides that there are still many matches left until the end of this season, so the top 4 rankings are still biased, no one knows who will own, even Dortmund and Hoffenheim, the place cannot be said to be safe.

Bro this underestimating stuff is really not acceptable by me because no team is to be underestimated and no team that is in need of three points will go into the pitch to look down in the other team not being sure of themselves of what might be the outcome of the game that is really not acceptable by me, and for RB Leipzig I don't really know what is wrong with that team like it's really unlike them I use to know them to be title contenders even though we know Bayern Munich is the ultimate in that league but yet they still use to pull out some kind of Storm now I wonder what maybe the problem.

But Stuttgart is right behind them, so it will be very difficult for them if Stuttgart gets stronger in performance, we know that Stuttgart is sometimes very crazy in giving resistance to its enemies in the last few seasons which makes them able to put pressure on the top teams, now their points have the same number as Leipzig, namely 36 points, the fourth position must be secured immediately if Leipzig wants to enter the champions league, otherwise they will be overtaken by Stuttgart who is trying to catch up, and they have also done their best to get the win so far.

Yes, it's true that there are still many matches left, which team is at the top of the standings at this time, it cannot be determined whether it will survive until the end of the season. Stuttgart does not need to be worried, they are indeed in the best performance by not winning the last five matches, but that is not in the safe zone, all the teams below can shift Stuttgart's position.
Dortmund and Hoffenheim are at the top, they can still be shifted if they cannot maintain their victory in the remaining matches, let's see this week the match is very interesting, all teams play aggressively to maintain their position in the standings, the current position of the top 5 teams is not safe yet.

Leverkusen is not the same old team anymore.

Wirtz gone to Liverpool for a hundred and fifty million back in June. Xabi Alonso left in the summer to Real Madrid - got sacked after losing to Barcelona in January. So this Leverkusen side has been playing without their best player and their genius manager for the whole season.

New coach just came in. Hjulmand Hjulmand used to manage Denmark Decent pedigree but he's walking into a rebuild, not a ready made machine.

They're four points back with a game in hand but I'm not sure they're the real threat. Stuttgart worries me more. Demirovic's on fifteen goals already, more than anybody at Leipzig.

What really frightens me about Leipzig is not the competition though. It's the leadership void. Raum's supposedly the captain but he's the one handing away ninety second minute penalties against the teams that are down for promotion. Howlers in goal after Gulacsi's making. Timo Werner's played four times all season, and clearly doesn't care anymore. Kevin Kampl's working out personal stuff.

They'll probably get fourth cause everyone else is messy too. But it won't be pretty.

Leipzig is in theory a "rich" club, they are funded by red bull and that means they have the best infrastructure behind Bayern and maybe Dortmund. So that means they are capable of getting players who are very talented, but they never had a decent football culture when you look at it historically considering they were established most recently.

This means they are failing to build a "team", they are building a squad with bunch of talented players and that's it. When you are like that, players play good and you look good, players play bad and you look bad.

The competition for the top 4 might look very fierce because both teams have the same points and their positions will alternate as long as one of them has not made a difference in points, Leipzig is actually a more favored team if you look at their history in the Bundesliga but Stuttgart performance cannot be underestimated as you said Stuttgart can make it difficult for the top teams, two seasons ago Stuttgart was able to finish in second place and this season it is not impossible that Stuttgart can achieve it again at least being in the top 4 is enough for them to get a UCL ticket, so Leipzig needs to improve their performance to be able if don’t want to lose place in the top 4.

Bayern Munich's position seems difficult to overthrow because this team has performed much more consistently than the other teams. Dortmund's position may be the problem as they are currently only three points behind Hoffenheim. The battle for third place will be much more interesting as several teams will be vying for that spot and if they fail to perform consistently, the position could change in the coming matches. Leverkusen is finding it increasingly difficult to break into the top three as the gap with Hoffenheim is slightly greater and the team's declining performance will make it difficult for Leverkusen to compete for third place at the end of the season.
