Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Humblevirus]

Xabi Alonso has proved that it is possible to challenge Bayern munich. An average team like leverkusen went undefeated for the entire season and won the title. Bayern munich could not defend the title despite performing well enough. Dortmund are currently the best suited club to challenge munich in the bundesliga. The team performed well at the start of the season but gradually fell  behind. The same incident has been  repeated this  season as well. Bayern munich's dominance in the  bundesliga will undoubtedly be difficult, but not impossible.

I just wish Xabi Alonso were still at Bayern Leverkusen, it would seriously make the Bundesliga more interesting and tougher. Bayern Munich would always have a strong competitor, and it’s very possible that the Bundesliga could start shifting, instead of Bayern Munich continuing to dominate every season.But currently, since there isn’t a coach like Alonso, it will be difficult for any team to challenge Bayern Munich. Even Dortmund, who used to try before, are not doing well nowadays. In fact, two to three seasons ago, they were focusing more on the Champions League than the Bundesliga. It is only this season that I’ve seen them change their mentality and start doing well, although they have begun to slip up in a few matches.Another problem for Dortmund is that even when they have good players, they often end up selling them, which reduces the overall strength of the team

So bad we no longer have good strikers like Harry Kane, while he was at Tottenham covering the nakedess of the team, getting a good replacement for a striker will be very hard to find, but Tottenham are not having the worst strikers in the Premier League. I blame most part on their defense, they've had terrible defense and also the forwards not able to score enough goals to win their match, as a matter of fact, it is a team problem, both the coach is part of the problem and the only way to resolve it, is by adjusting every possible corner of the team.

In as much as I will blame the Tottenham defense for their problems so far in the past two seasons, the striking force has been the worst position so far especially this season. You can't win games when you can't score goals and that is what Tottenham is suffering from it will take time before Tottenham will get a striker like Harry Kane.

The problem of the Tottenham team has nothing to do with one side of the team the whole team is affected and nothing is working the team is going from bad to worse and each day they are trying but nothing is working for the team, the defense is not working, it's as if strikers are doing nothing, if they do not do something to stop the poor performance of the team they may become relegated by the end of the season. Harry Kane leaving the team affected them so much since he left the entire them has not been the same but they can look for his replacement from next season if they want to come back to be a great team again.

We are a week away from next round games... The only attracting game seems to me like Stuttgart - Dortmund. They are both doing well in the league. I wouldn't bet on a side and would prefer BTTS instead for such a game with big goal potential.

I just wish Xabi Alonso were still at Bayern Leverkusen, it would seriously make the Bundesliga more interesting and tougher.

I would also like to see that but I don't expect it would happen from now on. Xabi Alonso's next station would most probably be Liverpool.

Maybe Leverkusen was going to lose important names even if he stayed. But at least he could have brought better names to keep the squad as strong as possible.

I know that some people would doubt whether Xabi Alonso would succeed with Liverpool since he failed to do same with Real Madrid but it's a different environment and the job was too heavy on him at Madrid, going to Liverpool would mean well for the players he managed that Leverkusen sold to Liverpool, i mean Frimpong and Writz maybe he could help them rediscover that form if he succeed in replacing Slot. Although it's obvious that the board would fire Slot so there's hope for Xabi Alonso.

The gap of scoring between Bayern Munich and their nearest opponent in the standings is just insane... Bayern Munich have scored 97 goals while Dortmund have only 58 goals!

The Bundesliga is just too easy for Bayern Munich when they have the right manager. Kompany is doing pretty good now. And the expectations from him has reached a higher level too. Like winning the Champions League...

I don't know about that but they should at least be able to reach semi finals this time.

This is the real gap, not the points. Points is already a lot but it was always a lot in the past too, but the gap is getting to a point where it could be the biggest in history of Bundesliga. So it proves that Bayern Munich is doing better than ever. Definitely something I did not expect Kompany to achieve, so kudos to him and all his players. Bayern Munich has always been a club that was properly managed, so I always knew that they would do fine in the end, but seeing them like this requires some respect to them.

Although it's obvious that the board would fire Slot so there's hope for Xabi Alonso.

If your justification that xabi will do well in Liverpool is these reasons you put out here then I will say they aren't justifiable reason, you talks as though the only players that are in Liverpool are thsje that was sold to them by Leverkusen, how will he now do with others, hope you understand that he will be on pressure at first in Liverpool because of what the club is going through at this time, the English premier League is a highly competitive league, for me I do not see much difference from what he faced at RealMadrid, the pressure on him will still be there unless he do what is expected from him in Liverpool, the problem is not giving him a contract to manage the club, where I'm concerned is if he'll manage the club differently from how he did for Realmadrid.

I also know that some people will doubt whether the former Madrid manager will be successful with Liverpool but imagine that this is not the first time this manager has come close to Anfield, i.e. it's not the first time he's been approached to become the manager of this Premier League club, we may have all seen before that he was called to coach this PL club before becoming Madrid's coach. However everyone can see it if Xabi Alonso were still the manager of Leverkusen, the tournament might have been a bit more enjoyable but now it appears this experienced manager is on his way to Anfield besides you look a little deeper Liverpool are now busy with the 2025-26 UCL quarter-final match so it is likely that this coach will join Liverpool in the summer.

If Alonso becomes Liverpool’s head coach, I think he’ll have a goods time, just like he did at Leverkusen. Managing Real Madrid, a club of stars, is, in my opinion, harder than people think. We’ve seen how Madrid players, who had grown accustomed to Ancelotti’s experienced and strict leadership over the years, exploited the power vacuum that emerged after he left to their advantage. In this situation, I can’t blame Alonso because his management style doesn’t align with Madrid’s culture. However, I believe his management style would be a great fit for Liverpool’s culture.

Possible win of Xabi Alonso at Liverpool will not only depend on old players he has at Liverpool, but his ability to change his plans to high stress and speed of premier league. Even though his win rate at Real Madrid is very high, he lost job due to fact he did not have total power over team, something he is known to demand at Liverpool in order to stop same events.
Stress in Anfield is very strong at moment as club has not done well under boss way of Arne Slot and Alonso will need to show that he is able to mix his organized way with heavy metal football that the club is known for. I think he is good as long as he is given power to fix team his way. He has power to get past political stress he was under in Madrid and focus on his own game view, which will make him able to bringing team back to winning new time.

It's possible that Xabi could be even better than he was at Real Madrid, or vice versa. We can't say for sure that he'll be successful, because coaching isn't that simple. Many experienced coaches have failed when managing a team, and there are also coaches who have succeeded despite being inexperienced.

Liverpool are also currently in a difficult situation, so it will be a challenge for any coach. They'll first have to assess the squad and make adjustments, which is a process.

Seeing one of the clubs that always dominates the league does seem like no one can surpass the club, even though in football there are usually always surprises where a weak club can beat the defending champion so without being clear, we know that Bayern Munich is the strongest club in the Bundesliga, more precisely comparing Bayern Munich with other clubs is not an insult but indeed every competition always has competitors and it is appropriate to judge a club like that but no matter how you compare it, Bayern Munich is still not on par with other clubs in the Bundesliga.

It's very possible that the clubs can challenge Bayern Munich, Leverkusen has proved that it's possible but it would need seriousness players that are very devoted to their managers instructions like Bayer Leverkusen's players did with Xabi Alonso when he was their coach. Borrusia Dortmund is the team i felt would challenge Bayern Munich but they've not really been serious for the past years. Bayern Munich would continue to be better than everyone in the league for a very long time.

Indeed, other clubs try to challenge Bayern Munich but usually they don't last long, Leverkusen once broke Bayern Munich dominance but it only happened once Dortmund has also always been a challenger to Bayern Munich for years and they also broke Bayern dominance but that was also only once so in my opinion for now there is no one better than Bayern Munich any club that wants to continue to compete needs to have a capable squad depth like Bayern Munich, Dortmund actually has almost the same depth as Bayern but this club always prioritizes its business so that makes Bayern Munich always dominate the Bundesliga.

[Lida93]

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.

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.

I think it is becoming a trend for Borussia Dortmund to always underperform whenever the season is almost coming to an end, exactly how they lost the German bundesliga to Bayern Munich on the last day of the league when they were already 2 goals up. Earlier this season they were actually doing great and all of a sudden things began to deteriorate at Dortmund, maybe it's time for the manager to make some adjustments and get the team back to contending for major trophies again.

Although it's obvious that the board would fire Slot so there's hope for Xabi Alonso.

One of the factors that made Xabi Alonso not to succeed at Real Madrid was because some players were feeling they are too big for Xabi Alonso to control them and it caused Xabi Alonso to be getting bad results at Real Madrid, which made Real Madrid management to get rid of Xabi Alonso. But if Xabi Alonso becomes Liverpool's head coach, he will have the full power to discipline any player that flaunt his order, so I think there's a good chance for Xabi Alonso to succeed at Liverpool.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It's possible that Xabi could be even better than he was at Real Madrid, or vice versa. We can't say for sure that he'll be successful, because coaching isn't that simple. Many experienced coaches have failed when managing a team, and there are also coaches who have succeeded despite being inexperienced.

Xabi Alonso didn't completely fail at Real Madrid because he didn't get a chance until the end of the season, so saying he failed at Real Madrid is a no-brainer. Likewise, regarding rumors of Xabi Alonso becoming Liverpool's manager, there's no guarantee he'll be more successful because the Premier League is different from other leagues. Xabi Alonso was quite successful as Leverkusen's manager, but after moving to Real Madrid, he didn't get a chance until the end of the season to prove his worth.

[el kaka22]

Vincent Kompany definitely shut all of the doubters up already, I mean he did that on last year too and won the league title but that season was more like "well even I would do that with Bayern, it is not a big deal". But this season they are literally breaking the scoring record, highest goal scoring in a single season of Bundesliga. They are scoring more in fewer games than any other team in the top five.

This means that they are not just good, being good is a given for Bayern, they are also the best ever. This is why Kompany decision turned out to be great, I doubted it, it made no sense to me to hire someone who just got relegated from premier league, was a total mystery why they did something like that, but we see that it's doing fine right now.

Borussia Dortmund is better this season than the previous two, even competing with Muenchen although they eventually dropped points again leaving them nine points behind the top-placed Muenchen. I mean, of course with their performance changing significantly this season is better especially since they've also made several coaching changes, so coach Niko Kovac needs to adjust his approach to building Dortmund's strengths.

This season Muenchen hasn't had a strong competitor but next season with Dortmund slowly finding chemistry allowing them to play more consistently, I think they will be a serious challenger to Muenchen. However, with Dortmund record of bringing in some players the coach really needs, I don't want to talk about this season because the Bundesliga trophy will be Muenchen, especially since Muenchen performance this season is very good and strong.

If your justification that xabi will do well in Liverpool is these reasons you put out here then I will say they aren't justifiable reason, you talks as though the only players that are in Liverpool are thsje that was sold to them by Leverkusen, how will he now do with others, hope you understand that he will be on pressure at first in Liverpool because of what the club is going through at this time, the English premier League is a highly competitive league, for me I do not see much difference from what he faced at RealMadrid, the pressure on him will still be there unless he do what is expected from him in Liverpool, the problem is not giving him a contract to manage the club, where I'm concerned is if he'll manage the club differently from how he did for Realmadrid.

Difference between Real Madrid and Liverpool is that if you are not champion as Liverpool manager, that is not a bad season. Sure Liverpool would love to win the title, why wouldn't they, every team would want to, but at the same time if they do not, and just finish top four, that is good enough.

There is also the fact that if we see Real Madrid be anything but first place, you are not going to keep your job, they would rather see the coach fired than be second place. Which is why there is a difference.

[Slow death]

I just wish Xabi Alonso were still at Bayern Leverkusen, it would seriously make the Bundesliga more interesting and tougher. Bayern Munich would always have a strong competitor, and it’s very possible that the Bundesliga could start shifting, instead of Bayern Munich continuing to dominate every season.

This is a very interesting point, and it's that in the Bundesliga, other teams don't take winning the title consistently very seriously. Their business is selling players; they acquire skilled players for very low prices and sell them for very high prices. If all the highly skilled players from these other Bundesliga teams had stayed in the Bundesliga,

then we would see Bayern Munich having many teams competing with them for the title. But unfortunately, that won't happen, at least not while selling players is more profitable. Nowadays, the price of a player is extremely high, and the teams that manage to buy players for very low prices can't resist selling them for extremely high prices.

You are right about Xabi Alonso and I love the fact that you gave a balanced opinion.  However, the reason many people see him as a failure is because they expected so much from him. People expected that he will take over and dominated the league just like he did in Bayern Leverkusen. As that did not happen, a lot of people think that he failed as a coach but they forgot that Real Madrid is not an easy team to coach because of their high standards.

At Liverpool I can only wish him the best if he gets appointed the new head coach to replace slot, because  the premier league is not any easier and heading  a top team in the premier league can be very tasking considering the levels of competition you will have to face, he may be quite lucky that next season they may not be in the champions league, otherwise it would have been far more hectic for him to handle.
