Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Chilwell]

Before that game, Leverkusen would probably be satisfied with perpspective of drawing against Bayern, but I don't think they were happy when the ref made a final whistle.
Leverkusen started off really well, bagging one in very early, in the 6th minute. Later in the 1st half Bayern got crippled by a red card for Jackson and it looked like the 2nd half would belong to Leverkusen, but that's not quite how things unfolded.
It was a pretty crazy game, with 4 disallowed goals and two red cards. Leverkusen looked decent, but their defense was getting really clumsy at times.

Leverkusen should have been able to win the match especially when Munich only played 9 men.. but in this match they were not at their best and their defense was quite weak, so that it allowed Luiz Diaz to score a goal, and even though Leverkusen continued to shoot towards Munich none of them managed to produce an additional goal which made them have to be satisfied with a draw. from this match it can be seen that Leverkusen was very lacking in their attack, and maybe they were saving their energy to fight Arsenal, even though in the end they were also defeated by Arsenal.

I equally agree with you that Leverkusen had a very big opportunity against Bayern Munich but they could not turn that into victory because I believe no matter their performance playing against nine players, honestly it will be a easy victory for them but they choose to still share the points. This is now clear that Leverkusen will not stand to challenge bayern Munich again because the opportunity they had as gone in vein, which already they will have additional two more point but they choose to have only one since they cannot be able to secured victory.

There are 4 teams fighting for top 4 at the moment: Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Leverkusen.

Leverkusen are the most disadvantageous one here though as they are 5 points behind. Hoffenheim and Stuttgart are the likeliest teams to capture the remaining spots after the recent results.

Leipzig are really away from their strong look in the Bundesliga. They finished last season as 7th and now they have gained only 2 positions...  

These four teams you mentioned are fighting for the top four right now but It is also important to remember that Bayer Leverkusen, in 6th place, is five points behind VfB Stuttgart. Anyway, without taking too much mental pressure, I think this team's only goal now is to reach the second leg of the Championship League because Arsenal are keen to win this game and this will be their best chance to reach the quarter-finals. Considering the performance We can predict that the English Premier League team will be the most consistent in the upcoming Champions League second leg, But now the only confidence Bayer Leverkusen can give is their first leg draw, besides there is no goal difference between them.

Obviously, Leverkusen were supposed to be eliminated from the UCL by Arsenal and it will avail them the opportunity to pay more attention to security a top four spot, at least if they can succeed in doing that then it would have being a good fight because it would be very embarrassing for the Leverkusen side to settle for the Europa league come next, so right now the only option on the table for Leverkusen is to fight for a top four spot on the league table that would guarantee them UCL football next season.

Even after Bayern got a red card in the second half, they still played better than Bayer and created more chances. Maybe Bayer were even a bit lucky that Bayern didn’t score, because Bayern could have actually won that match. But overall, the game was very strange. I didn’t like the refereeing, the referee drew too much attention to himself, and I think when referees act like that, they spoil the match. But as for Bayern in the Bundesliga, I think everything is already decided, they just need to win a few more matches to make Dortmund’s theoretical chances irrelevant.

[$weetne$$]

Bayern Leverkusen really need to check on their weak points, imagine that they Leverkusen of last season that remain unbeaten are the one performing poorly this season that’s why they said not condition is permanent change is constant.

A lot of changes has happened at Leverkusen such that to get them back to the form they were last season nad mostly two seasons ago is going to be a long one and that is because both players and the coach that got them there are no longer in the team, they did sold of a few players which I believe may have affected the team too, but all hopes is not lost, they can still improve again but it will take some time.

[MAAManda]

Munich's consistency in the League is still very good, they continue to maintain a 9-point lead up to week 26. As of today, the point difference still makes Munich feel very comfortable, so they are quite calm. Not only in the League, Munich also advanced to the quarter-finals by defeating Atalanta with an aggregate score of 10-2. This is an outstanding achievement for Munich. As far as I think, Munich is still the favorite to win the championship; with their consistency, Munich will be hard to catch by Dortmund. More importantly, Kane is currently also the top scorer.

You know? there are only 3 Bundesliga winner options in outright betting now, bookies exclude Bayern Munich. This means that bookies are confident Bayern Munich will be the Bundesliga champions. Bayern Munich, in their current condition, has an advantage, because they don't need to focus too much on the domestic league & can focus their strategy - plans on winning the UCL title.

Irrespective of whatever anyone might think or say or think of the result, it still doesn't change the fact that Bayern Munich is far more better the Leverkusen side this season and at such Leverkusen would be happy to have forced a draw out Bayern Munich, and should be proud of that result because a lot of teams that have encountered Bayern Munich this season weren't lucky enough to get a draw, Bayern is on another level this season, perhaps one of the reasons this game ended in a draw could be either fatigue, because the team hardly find quality time to rest, and this could have also affected their performance too.

It is very difficult to bring Leverkusen back to its former state. Alonso has left leverkusen. Alonso has produced some excellent players. Leverkusen management has sold all the players. And has earned a large amount of money. So it is quite a difficult task for leverkusen to form a  strong squad again. It is not that they are playing very badly  this season. Anyway , their performance is very inconsistent. Leverkusen is still trying to get into the top 4 of the table and qualify for the champions league. But that is also  very difficult for them. Leverkusen is  5 points behind Stuttgart.

[giorgione]

Arsenal's attack played very well. They were determined to  win. Arsenal was very aggressive from the beginning of the match. I will not say that leverkusen performed badly. They tried  hard to win the match. But their  attack was not strong enough. As a result, leverkusen's players  could not score any goals in the match.

Arsenal's players had 41 % ball possession. But they made a lot of attacks. And each attack was very sharp. Arsenal's players were able to make 20 shots. Of these, only 13  shots were on target. Leverkusen's goalkeeper and defense played quite well. Otherwise, they would have lost by a much larger margin.

Arsenal knew that they would win in very easy mode let's say it was an easy task for them and this is what they did, they are determined and they do it with all the teams they meet in their game, i must say that i liked them a lot and they have always surprised me, i didn't expect so much attacking action.

How did Arsenal play so aggressively, scoring one goal in the first leg and two in the second leg? Arsenal performed worse than I expected against Leverkusen.

Are you trying to talk about Bayern Munich? We all know that Bayern Munich is very aggressive. They scored the most goals in the round of 16 and they are also very good in terms of conceding goals, conceding only two goals in two matches. I consider Bayern Munich to be a balanced team, their performance also testifies to that.

[Velvet78]

It is time to focus on Round 27 games...

As Leverkusen are out of the Champions League now it is time for them to do their best in the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League again. However the gap with top 4 is 5 points now.

They are playing against Heidenheim away in 2 days. The opponent is literally about to relegate. I assume Leverkusen would secure a win for themselves. 1.59 odds look great for betting! 

[GiftedMAN]

How did Arsenal play so aggressively, scoring one goal in the first leg and two in the second leg? Arsenal performed worse than I expected against Leverkusen.

Leverkusen is not a team in the England Championship League that Arsenal should just thrash anyhow, they defended properly in their home and couldn't win at Arsenal's home which was expected. You shouldn't be disappointed cause they qualified effortlessly without conceding any goal, if they drew and play extra 30 mins to qualify like Sporting Lisbon did then you'll be right to feel worried about their performance. Arsenal's still unbeaten in the Champions League, i don't know if you're their fan but if you're then you should be proud of your team.

[el kaka22]

Bayern is showing their strength once more, scoring 10 goals in two games is unreal, it's really not a simple thing to achieve and they have managed to do that, it's really a huge achievement. Sure Atalanta wasn't a great team so beating them wasn't a shock, but they did not even have to score that much, they knew that they already won and they still did not stop.

Sometimes Bayern Munich is seen as ruthless, because even a draw is enough, even a few goals is enough, and yet they still keep scoring just because they can and that may look ruthless. But they have to do that in order to keep reminding themselves that they are the best and for the next round, it's a psychological thing to make themselves as big as possible and show their best whenever they can.

[ITExpert]

Bayern Munich drew and Dortmund won. Now the gap is 9 points. Is that enough to make us excited about the title competition?

I assume no, not at all!    8 weeks to go... Dortmund already missed that train when they lost to Bayern Munich home recently.

I think the situation is getting into a scenerio where two opinions has been created. This is true that nine points gap is not that much which is difficult to cross but I think the potential and dedication of the teams are also matter a lot in this situation. Bayern Munich is a continuous winner and they are too good in performing. But a little decline in their performance just make other to be in such situation. Dortmund is a good team and they are trying to have their best with all the possible efforts. But beside everything I think Bayern Munich will not allow easily to any other team and finish the gaps or overcome on them. So the situation is still very exciting to see that who will manage to be on the top Position. And I think now Bayern will play more safely and wisely to keep the ball in their court.

But as for Bayern in the Bundesliga, I think everything is already decided, they just need to win a few more matches to make Dortmund’s theoretical chances irrelevant.

Bayern has been so superior in the Bundesliga this season that even when they received a red card they were able to dominate even though Leverkusen couldn't win with their man advantage. Yes, the refereeing in this match was controversial as it heavily favored Leverkusen. Perhaps if the referee had been fair Munich could have won. But even if Munich drew they remain firmly at the top of the table.

Dortmund won't be able to catch up with Munich because Munich will certainly play consistently in the remaining matches, allowing them to secure the title more quickly and focus on the Champions League. Munich only needs to win five matches to secure the Bundesliga title and I think Munich can do that considering their current good form, plus the opponents they face in the remaining matches this season are not difficult. Munich focus is now on the Madrid match as it won't be an easy match to advance to the semifinals.

[dezoel]

Arsenal's attack played very well. They were determined to  win. Arsenal was very aggressive from the beginning of the match. I will not say that leverkusen performed badly. They tried  hard to win the match. But their  attack was not strong enough. As a result, leverkusen's players  could not score any goals in the match.

Arsenal's players had 41 % ball possession. But they made a lot of attacks. And each attack was very sharp. Arsenal's players were able to make 20 shots. Of these, only 13  shots were on target. Leverkusen's goalkeeper and defense played quite well. Otherwise, they would have lost by a much larger margin.

I mean Leverkusen isn't that great since they lost most of their players and Xabi, so it was known that they would lose, and I think it's even a good thing that they have reached thus far, it wasn't looking that easy for them to win this game that easily.

Normally I did not expected them to be even in top sixteen, so it's good that they got here, and after facing arsenal we knew that they would have nearly no chance to win this series. Glad that they did all they could for this game at least, a draw on the first game is good.

[pawel7777]

So Leverkusen dropped out of the Champions League. They fought a good fight in the 1st leg game against Arsenal but were forced to acknowledge the superiority of the English club in the rematch.
This leaves Bayern as the only German team still standing in the competition.
Bayern thrashed Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate, sending a signal that they are not slowing down and that they intend to lift the cup this season.

What do you think about Bayern's chances against Real Madrid in the UCL quarterfinal? The first game will be played in Madrid. Despite playing away, Bayern are a slight favourite to win the first game, but the same was true for Man City, and Real didn't have much problem getting past them.

I consider Bayern to be a favourite, but, at the same time, Real seems to be a bit underestimated by the bookies.

[Adiljutt156]

in the end Leverkusen couldn't do much because Arsenal played quite solidly and overall, Arsenal deserved to advance to the next round. Leverkusen can focus on the Bundesliga after failing to advance to the next round and with the remaining matches, they can focus on finishing in a better position at the end of the season. Leverkusen fought well against Arsenal in the second leg, but their strength was not enough to match Arsenal's, so they were eliminated at that stage.

It was a deserved victory, Leverkusen did well but couldn't do enough quality that will win them the game. On a normal stance, Arsenal are extremely superior to Leverkusen, no way was anyone expecting Arsenal to be left out in the next phase of competition. Arsenal performance has been alright, I never doubted their ability to qualify, only that Leverkusen was as well good in the competition and reduced how quickly Arsenal would have progressed. If only Leverkusen can use the same effort domestically, they can return ranking top four.

Arsenal football team played match against Bayer 04 Leverkusen football team and that was one sided match and one team did 2 goals in this match and opponent team did no goal in this match. That was a good match because both teams Tried to win this match. Eze was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 36 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after that goal we saw good competition between these two teams and possession percentage of the Bayer 04 Leverkusen football team was good in this match which was 59 percent in this match and passes of that team were more in number and these were 414 in this match.

[ITExpert]

Bayern Munich mostly win Bundesliga title very early already while Dortmund already get a very solid second position and it's really small chance of losing a position in top four with Dortmund. There are competitions among some clubs for two other positions in top four, from Hoffeinhem, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Leverkusen with biggest disadvantage belongs to Leverkusen as they have less points, and have 5 points less than Hoffeinhem and Stuttgart. With only 8 matches left till the season ending, Leverkusen will need to get almost perfect results in remaining matches while need to be supported by bad results of Hoffeinhem, Stuttgart and Leipzig.

I think the strength of Bayern Munich is not hidden specially in the Bundesliga. They win Bundesliga every time with an ease as they have full command on at least this title how to make it in their favour. And now the four teams are struggling and making efforts to achieve the top position. But among all Bayern Leverkusen is experiencing the most worst situation as they are not good in performing well. I think it's difficult for them to now have a chance due to the tough competition. But in between all the teams Bourussia Dortmund is good their efforts are loud and they are truly dedicating to have the best position and to fullfil their dream they struggled and prepared well this is what matters a lot. And if they keep going on the way there will be great chances for them to chase the success.

Yes, the refereeing in this match was controversial as it heavily favored Leverkusen. Perhaps if the referee had been fair Munich could have won. But even if Munich drew they remain firmly at the top of the table.

The current Bayern Munich is not only strong at home but outside as well. If it were to be a different team, they would have suffered a lot from the hands of Leverkusen the moment Jackson was sent out, but to show how weak Leverkusen is and how strong Bayern defense is, they couldn't convert the opportunity that was created in the very first half of the game to their favour. Again, Luis Díaz was unjustly sent out, and yet Leverkusen couldn't still convert it to any goal. This can only say of of Bayern's formidability.

A team that has a good depth, quality players, good management and strong defence would always thrive, that's why Bayern Munich managed to draw with 10 men. Some teams would given up and let Leverkusen win afterall they're leading and gap is wide but Bayern Munich refused to take chances and made sure they qualify.
 It's more better than losing which could reduce the confidence of the players or cause arguments in the dressing room. Kompany is lucky he secured a job in a team where he'll win trophies.
