Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Phoenix Anka]

Dortumund is currently in a good position in the championship and i think it is not their intention to give up their position, Stuttgart is in fact where Dortmund is aiming but i don't think they will be able to steal their position, on the contrary they will put themselves there and not leave, too bad there is always Bayern Munich playing another sport

Yes, their only goal this season is to maintain second place in the standings, and it might be very easy for them considering there is no more busy schedule that they have to go through and catching Bayern is also very late, you could say that Dortmund engine is too late to heat up this season because their performance is good when approaching the end of the season, but it's not a bad thing, at least they are back to their origins, namely finishing in second place.

They couldn't get the wins they needed against Bayern Munich to secure the championship. If they had won against Bayern Munich, they might be in a strong position to win the title today. After all, three points from the Bayern Munich match, combined with three points from their opponent, would have made it a six-point game. If they beat Bayern Munich in either match, Borussia Dortmund would have gained a 12-point advantage. Naturally, Bayern Munich has a 12-point advantage this year. If you can't win against your opponent, you also shouldn't lose. Use this advantage wisely, and Bayern Munich will comfortably finish the season as champions.

The dortmund comeback was a total no sense i saw it from the start and damn man it was crazy first of all they had 3 penalties in a single game which is one of the most uncommon things we can have in a game, secondly i cant believe how Hamburg let go the game, it was in just a few minutes where they allow Dortmund to score and the defense was a complete mess.

Dortmund made one of the biggest comeback in the history of football in Bundesliga history, they were two goals down from the first half of the game and after they come back from the second half they started giving their opponent a pressure to make sure they get back to the game, this is how they should have stated the season and give Bayern Munich a tough season but no any Bundesliga team is capable of competing with Bayern Munich this season and they have 90 percent of winning the league title.

Dortmund is one of the team that have winning mentality before, I can remember their performance in 2024 Champions league, they beat many teams and play against Real Madrid in the final and Real Madrid won the Champions League by beating them2-0, there is one thing that make Dortmund perform change and i think it is because of the comeback that Atlanta did against them in the Champions League, Dortmund should have been the one to play against Bayern Munich in the round of 16 and they failed to perform well against Atlanta that Bayern Munich beat with 10 goals.

Dortmund are suppose to be among the top teams struggling for the title, have always said it and playing Stuttgart shouldn't be a team we have to say Dortmund are going to struggle or find hard to play against matter what except we see something different on the pitch that Stuttgart are showing more dominance than Dortmund, all these things are happening because the club Dortmund have failed and the other clubs have seen them for who they are. Imagine if Dortmund are as crazy as Bayern Munich it would have been different and no team can come close to these two teams (Bayern Munich and Dortmund) but imagine when Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Hoffenheim and the others who cares to step up are the ones trying to make a change in the Bundesliga, it means the improvement is showing massively for them but Dortmund other clubs will keep rubbing shoulders with them to dominate them completely.

Borussia Dortmund is in middle of crisis as they have focused on idea of selling club, growing and selling young talents instead of building culture of winning by all means necessary. This approach has made them lose their scary side i.e. middle level teams such as Stuttgart or Leverkusen are no longer afraid but they have begun to think of Dortmund as equal that they can beat. Other clubs are improving their game by being smarter with data and having clear coaching method, Dortmund appears to be stuck lacking clear style of play or aggressive nature of Bayern Munich. In order to rebuild to be top power again, they must stop being stepping stone to talents and instead they should work on large tactical change and leadership mindset that requires them to win trophies as opposed to being happy with making it into Champions league.

This is precisely what makes failure a major problem for Dortmund. First, they haven't changed the team's structure. They should aim to transform from a team that produces and sells young players into one that strives for success and becomes one of the two teams, along with Bayern Munich, that most seriously contenders for the league championship. However, for years they have been trying to be a team that makes a profit by producing and selling the best players. I think this is exactly where Dortmund is making a mistake.

Dortmund have never  fought for the title. The management's main goal is to make money by making a player a little more experienced and selling him for a big amount in the next season. Dortmund have been able to produce  some excellent players. But they have sold  everyone for a big amount. Dortmund is one of the renowned teams in the bundesliga. They will be in the top  4 of the points table, that's for sure. But it is not possible for them to compete for the title. If they want to win the title , then they will definitely have to strengthen  their squad.

If Borussia Dortmund had lost that game, it would have been very embarrassing for them to have lost to Hamburg who gained promotion from relegation, another embarrassing thing for Dortmund would have been the fact that they were beaten at home. Indeed they did very well to have gotten the equaliser and also getting all three points after conceding two goals. It was indeed a classic performance from the former German champions.

Borussia Dortmund suffered to get that result though, so they were close to embarrassment.
The worst thing would perhaps have been exactly as you say the loss at home, that would have been a moral slap in the face.
They still sweated to get the lead goal, it wasn't a walk in the park for them, it leaves me thinking a lot to tell the truth, because we're talking about the team in second place in the Championship, in theory so one of the best and suffering so much was not a nice sight.

The crisis you talked about is like making excuses for Dortmund for their big failures, they never started playing rubbish in the Bundesliga, the failure started a long time ago when one of their great players Marco Reus was in the club, the annoying part of his stay was when they're suppose to win to calm the title but they lost. Is sad that we have Dortmund as the team that can face Bayern Munich and compete with them for the title, with or without the crisis you talked about, they have it but something is wrong that they could not beat Bayern for the title. They are only good at selling good and young talented players off the club and even to Bayern but couldn't find a replacement that can make the club be as competitive than they ever where, Dortmund sometimes reminds m nof Arsenal and I said this as of last season but now Arsenal are better than Dortmund and the Gunners will win something this season while Dortmund won't which will continue like it's a curse.

Borrusia Dortmund really surprised me in that match, I was too quick to judge them after Hamburger scored 2 goals, i even trolled some of my friends who bet on them to win but I didn't know they'll give me a big suprise, some teams would've only managed to equalize but they scored 3 goals and saved themselves the embarrassment of losing at home.

The turning point for Dortmund came in the second half when Bansebaini scored a penalty to make it 2-1, at that moment, Dortmund’s confidence returned, and they went on to score a goal a few minutes later to tie the game, it was truly impressive that Dortmund managed to turn the game around, even though Hamburg were quite confident in the second half. however, Dortmund turned the game around by increasing the intensity of their attacks and playing more aggressively.. sure enough, Hamburg couldn’t withstand Dortmund’s intense pressure, and Bansebaini sealed the victory with a 3-2 score. it was a solid win for Dortmund because they didn’t falter when they fell behind in the first half, instead, they stepped up their game in the second half and win the game.

Bayern might be out of their league this season but they also tried aa the second best after Bayern. There's still hope to try again next season till they get strong enough to match Bayern's strength.

While it's not impossible, it's realistic to say that Munich has the better squad, and no team is currently capable of competing with them in the Bundesliga. so for Dortmund to compete at Munich’s level, they need to invest more resources to strengthen their squad depth and find a coach capable of matching Kompany’s achievements.. that’s quite a challenge, but not impossible, it all depends on whether Dortmund can pull it off or not.

[jaberwock]

Dortmund had a great game, they are playing a lot of wonderful players and while they may not have yet another Haaland, they still have some good players they can sell, and make some money from.

The way that they keep finding these great players and still run a profitable club is amazing, they are not spending as much as Bayern, or spending that much at all, and still being second is a great achievement and I think they are always going to sustain this way. Whoever is running this club this way, they are doing a wonderful job.

[Volgastallion]

We are just 3 goals away from the 100 goals of Bayer Munich on this Bundesliga, they are gonna reach 100 goals milestone for sure but lets see how far they can reach, for me they could reach 120 if they push super hard, but is not gonna be easy since its only 7 games left until the end of this league.

Dortmund have never  fought for the title. The management's main goal is to make money by making a player a little more experienced and selling him for a big amount in the next season.

They will be in the top  4 of the points table, that's for sure. But it is not possible for them to compete for the title. If they want to win the title , then they will definitely have to strengthen  their squad.

You also have said the reality of Dortmund. They are not always after the trophy, they want to produce good players just to sell them, which is giving them a lot of money. Because if it didn’t, they wouldn’t continue doing it and forfeiting the trophy. We all know that if they can create players to sell, then they can also create players to win the trophy for them. Which, to me, even if I see Dortmund going further up the table, I don’t see them as a threat, because I know they are not after the trophy, they are just there to feel among.

[verdinio]

Even if Stuttgart loses this game there will be good enough chance for them to go to UCL next season. But aside from that they have been decent for a while, that part is very important.

Last year they became 9th and that was bad, but year Leverkusen won, Bayern wasn't second (most people assume that) it was Stuttgart who also managed to be above Bayern, it's funny because in the past 11-12 years only two teams managed to finish above Bayern, and unlucky for Stuttgart they did it the season Leverkusen did.

mm stuttgart are not wasting any match because they really want to go to the champions league, and they deserve it, among the german teams they are one of the best like borussia, who took a good beating against atalanta who then ironically lost against another german team.

It's very interesting, but you're right, Borussia Dortmund is a team in Germany that focuses on developing and selling players rather than winning trophies. It wouldn't be wrong to call them a football player factory. We see that the players who come from here are world-class in world football. The latest examples are Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham. If Dortmund signs a player, they always develop him and sell him for a high price. What I'm really curious about is what they do with all this money they earn. I think they should reinvest their earnings in the team at some point.

Dortmund is a club that doesn't want to retain its best players. Moreover, many players move because of their own wishes. Contracts are almost up and players don't want to renew them, so Dortmund management thinks it's better to cash in than let them go for free.

Many fans are disappointed with Dortmund, especially with the club president and their management system. They seem unwilling to hold back when their star players want to leave. So it's understandable why many people say Dortmund is only focused on money by selling players, not on winning trophies.

Dortmund fate is similar to that of Atletico Madrid and Ajax, who only focus on money by selling their star players. Money, money, money. This is very different from their rivals Bayern who often recruit star players because they are committed to winning trophies. So it's no surprise that they continue to dominate the Bundesliga.

This is not new, and we can say it from now to eternity, but Dortmund will remain the same. This is what the club is and has worked for them financially for years. I don't think that lifting the trophy is their core goal, every organisation has their primary objectives, as that looks like their secondary goal. But they will be happy if it falls in place for them one day, and it will be a double celebration. For years, they've been a worthy rival of Bayern, and that has been proven many times, even though they mostly finish as a runner-up. Continuing like this may one day payoff.

[jakdanyel]

There isn't any title race left in the league so it's quite boring as for that. However at least there is still a fight for top 4 among a few teams.

The first 2 spots in top 4 are already secured technically. Dortmund are also in a comfortable position in the end. But the last 2 ones are still not looking that secure yet.

Stuttgart have a good advantage by 3 points. Leipzig and Hoffenheim are right behind. Here the biggest surprise is Hoffenheim of course but I don't feel like they will qualify for the CL with this poor form.

I will definitely agree with what you have said because immediately I saw your statement i begin to reason and see how their performance are in the last few seasons, i notice one thing with them at the beginning of the season up to the mid season they don't seem to be challenging but before the season end, you will see them struggling to enter the Champions League zone which I will believe that is their strategies because that alone we cut more attention in how their players are performing.

For a very long time now no team in the Bundesliga that have taken the position of borussia Dortmund meaning that they are rival to the Bayern Munich, so many club try to take their place but they could not be able to replace them, club like Leverkusen but they couldn't.

Actually Borussia Dortmund showed something different that they haven't shown this season, if they had been doing such comeback in most of the games they had lost this season maybe they wouldn't have been where they are now, they could have also beaten Atalanta and made it through to the next round of the UCL, Dortmund's performance have really declined over the years in all competitions and things are not getting any better for them.

Bayern Munich have almost secured their trophy victory, if they are able to win three matches and if on top Borussia Dortmund win the remaining 7 matches then the two teams will have 82 points each. Although it sounds like a fantasy that Borussia Dortmund will win all the next matches. At this stage if Bayern Munich can win 4 matches then they will be able to take the trophy home this season. I don't think Bayern Munich will lose the trophy at this time. Because Bayern Munich is currently performing very well and they are very consistent in the UCL and Bundesliga. So I think Bayern Munich has almost taken the trophy into their hands.

Dortmund were very strong at the  beginning of the season. But they have not been able to continue their good  performance. And that is  why they have gradually fallen behind in the title race. Dortmund is now 9 points behind bayern munich. They have no chance of winning the title.

One of the reasons for dortmund's irregular performance this season is the irregular performance of the attacking players. They have won several matches  by large margins. But they have failed to win many  matches due to a weak attacking line. dortmund will be in second place in the table. Dortmund is almost certain to be  in second place. Dortmund is 8  points ahead of stuttgart in third place.

So I think Bayern Munich has almost taken the trophy into their hands.

There are only 7 matches left in the season and Bayern Munich are already 9 points ahead of Dortmund. This means that Bayern Munich only needs 12 more points to secure the title. The official title will be declared when Bayern Munich is able to earn 12+ points. This means that Bayern Munich only needs to win 4 more matches to take the title home. Even if they draw in the fifth match, they can take the title home. Winning 4 matches out of 7 matches is not a difficult task for Bayern Munich. If Dortmund loses points before that, Bayern Munich will secure the title with 4 matches remaining.
