Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Velvet78]

Things are going on really interesting right now. Hoffenheim - Stuttgart ended by 3-3. Hoffenheim could have actually won while their opponent had a red card. But that equalizer in the stoppage time was just shocking... 

And now Leverkusen are very likely to benefit from that! If they maintain this 2-0 lead and win, they are taking the 4th position by pushing both of those 2 teams down. Thanks to having a bigger goal difference of course.

The match between Hoffenheim and Stuttgart was thrilling right up until the final minute. It was certainly one of the day’s most important matches. Both teams needed points—or even multiple points—from this match to stay in the top four, but they were forced to settle for a draw. Hoffenheim, who led 2-1 at halftime, also opened the second half with a goal. Although they took a 3-1 lead with a goal early in the second half, they ended the match with a 3-3 draw. Despite being down to 10 men by the 70th minute, Stuttgart managed to secure a point from this away game with a goal in the final minute, leaving them level on points with their opponent at the end of the match. From Hoffenheim’s perspective, dropping this match was a major setback. Had they won, they would have secured 4th place.

All predictions were wrong in this match because all thought that there will be result of that match and actually there was no winner in this match. Kramarić was a person who was dominant in this match and he did first goal at 7 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after that goal there was a performance by both teams. Führich was a second person who did goal in this match and he did this goal at 20 minutes of the match when it was need of the team because opponent team tried to be dominante in this match. Touré did goal again at 23 minutes of the match when opponent team was in form . Kramarić did goal again in this match and he did this goal at 49 minutes of the match.

Stuttgart drew their match, and it turned out to be a very difficult game for them, as they only managed to score their third goal in the 95th minute and secure a point that way. Now it’s up to Bayer, if Bayer can beat Leipzig at home, they will move up to 58 points and with a better goal difference, they could climb into the top 4. I think that’s a very strong motivation to win a match like this, but Leipzig are currently in excellent form, so it definitely won’t be easy for Bayer to do it. Still, I don’t think it’s anything impossible.

My feeling came true, and maybe a draw is a fair result for both teams so neither side loses all the points, or at least they can still secure 1 point.



Regarding Leverkusen, of course they are highly motivated to secure a top 4 spot since they already have a strong mentality after winning the bundesliga title before. So whatever challenges come now, Leverkusen will be ready to face them. And at the moment, in the first half, Leverkusen has already scored 2 goals while Leipzig is still struggling to find the net.

I’m quite confident that by the end of the season it will still be Leverkusen and Leipzig who secure the UCL tickets, just like I mentioned here earlier.

I don't really understand what happened in this match because i thought the fourth official gave them 5 minutes of additional time after 90 minutes of play so how come did the match enter 90+11 minutes? was there any delay in the extra time, didn't watch the match live though.

There was an injury on heindenheim side that made the time increase further to its stoppage for a while.
Bayern Munich did rotated the squad from the beginning of the game then Kompany pushed some main players into the game to avoid losing badly. I don't blame him. After all Bayern Munich has nothing to do anymore with the Bundesliga after winning it. They are focused more on UEFA Champions League.

The match is in progress and there is a draw between the two teams, that is, both teams are performing well and trying their best, this has made the game very exciting. Bayern Munich is a very strong team, however, they cannot improve their victory over Heidenheim as Bayern Munich also scores goals on equal, but their opponents also equalize it and Bayern Munich does not put pressure at the same moment which can be very hard on them. Bayern Munich has merely 1 point in this match, and although this is not their loss, yet it is not good at all, and they should have won this match. Other teams also strive to the top 5 and that is also rather interesting.

I'm sure Heidenheim's performance  surprised everyone today. They scored  3 goals against a strong team like munich. This is  undoubtedly Heidenheim's biggest achievement.

Bayern munich fell behind in the  first half. Heidenheim scored two goals in  31 minutes. Munich only managed to score one goal in the first half. In the second half, munich increased their attack. Even then , they scored their third goal in injury time after  90 minutes.

I would have been happy if  heidenheim had won today. Even if the match was not  that important for munich, it was a very important match for Heidenheim. They are  3 points behind St. pauli. If they could have won this match, heidenheim would have been only 1 point behind. They would have had a chance  to qualify for the bundesliga.

I may not be surprised if it turns out that Bayern Munich loose to PSG because those guys are really upto something.  They play like they are not willing to allow their opponent get even a goal, they are more like a team at their peak recently, it is even more interesting to find out  that this performance is mostly common in the champions league, recently in their domestic league, they have been of a poor performance which I do not know how that will be fixed even as they definitely hope to fix it so they can win the league title.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team and they keep their dominance same in all the matches. And I think it is difficult to find out the team like the same callibre of the Bayern Munich. PSG is also a strong team and they are very good in performing well. But I think if we make comparison of both of the teams Bayern Munich will get more points because they have totally a strong squad and very talented players. But if we see PSG they have some star players Infact key players which helps the team to perform well. And PSG has really a strong attacking power which helps them to be the best. But Bayern is a very consistent team and all their dominance is because of their consistent behaviours. And Bayern Munich dominance is now turned into their historical dominance the way they performed and winning in the Bundesliga.

Thanks for the clarification, i didn't watch the match live, was only following up updates through my phone. Kompany shouldn't have brought in Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise, he should have just reserved them for their Champions League match against PSG because this match against Heidenheim wasn't really that important to them. Anyway, they might just want to keep the record of just losing one match in this season Bundesliga which could be the reason why he made substitutions that brought in enthusiasm in the players.

I would have liked to see Bayern Munich lose. Kompany didn't need to take the match seriously, I think they would have lost nothing even if they had conceded 10 goals. The honour and the title would have been in the same place. He and the key players should have been rested. However, the match ended in a draw and they are still the least defeated team of the season. But I don't think there will be any point in holding on to this record now. They should now focus entirely on the Champions League.

This was really an onetime advantage opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen, and there really use it, they even won 4-1 in the game. currently they are siting calmly at the 4th in the table, but that still doesn’t warrant them to relax as they all have same points now. Hoffenheim, Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are currently 58 points, with only goals margin. So any relaxation from any of the team, they will be left behind. Although I know Bayer Leverkusen won’t give up.

[Akbarkoe]

There are so many unexpected matches besides Hoffenheim and Stuttgart, this is clearly a match for the 4th position of the Bundes league standings, it's just that both of them are so very stubborn and the goal that is regrettable is the goal in the last seconds that makes the score equal, and forced both to share points here and what is not expected is that Leverkusen actually returned to the 4th row of the standings because they were able to beat Leipzig with a score of 4-1.
 
Now the 4th, 5th, 6th positions owned by Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Hoffenheim have the same points with 58 points, the competition here is very tight and very exciting, unlike the top team.

And the funniest part is that Bayern Munich won’t lose this match because they are actually at a great performance that they will want to continue keeping their record in the Bundesliga this season, they won’t lose because they are suppose to face the champions league, even the Bundesliga is also another important competition for them, despite been at the top of the standing that we all know there is no team to challenge them anymore, they still have to continue keeping their winning streak.

I don't think that Bayern Munich carried this match that seriously, but the point is that maybe their opponent was not that serious either. The reason why Bayern Munich may have used some of their key players was probably just to warm up for their next match. When we even check the Bayern Munich key players used in today’s match, we see that all of them did not have the satisfying statistics that they usually have in other matches.If it had been a strong team playing against Bayern Munich today, Bayern Munich might have lost. Heidenheim are a team at the bottom of the table, so even they have nothing to lose. Again, Bayern Munich were the hosts of the game, so we don’t expect them to be careless or just give away the game at home. I believe in Kompany and that he is preparing well for the second leg with Bayern Munich.

[Lida93]

Harry Kane has become a far more better centre forward than he was when he played for Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich FC has really changed the player and improved his goal scoring ability, though he was a good striker but coming to Bayern he has now turned into a goal machine both for his club and for England.
When the World Cup kick off this year am expecting Harry Kane to be one of the highest goal scorer in the tournament, it's possible with the kind of squad that England have at the moment, they have great wingers that can assist Harry Kane with good passes in front of goal.

There will likely be a top scorer race between Harry Kane and Mbappe. I think Mbappe has the advantage over Kane because Olise will be feeding him the ball this time. France's squad is in better shape than England's. Harry Kane is a fantastic goalscorer and Bayern are very lucky to have him. He's torn the German league apart, and he's playing brilliantly in the Champions League too. In my opinion, Kane and Haaland are among the two best strikers in the world.

I actually would like to see them go head on with that because it's gonna make the tournament more fantastic especially watching these national teams strikers play in the World Cup and compete for the highest goal scores. Between England and France I can't certainly say which is with a better squad depth but till when the tournament kick off and we watch their actions on the pitch. Sometimes these players could be doing great in the league and European stage but for some reasons may not give a better performance at world stage.

[dezoel]

Bayern will definitely use rotation, there is no way that they will play people who will be used in the UCL game, if possible I would say change all 11 players but that is not going to happen and it's a rare sight in football anyways, even with that, they just rest "some" players and then play the others.

So that means, from the game we saw against PSG during the week, we will have at least five or six of them back in the squad and starting, and rest well be at the bench as well.

[Smartvirus]

Regarding Leverkusen, of course they are highly motivated to secure a top 4 spot since they already have a strong mentality after winning the bundesliga title before. So whatever challenges come now, Leverkusen will be ready to face them. And at the moment, in the first half, Leverkusen has already scored 2 goals while Leipzig is still struggling to find the net.

I’m quite confident that by the end of the season it will still be Leverkusen and Leipzig who secure the UCL tickets, just like I mentioned here earlier.

It was a much desired and needed point for Leverkusen should they have any hopes of going to the UCL, Leipzig haven’t got much at stake in this game and you would expect that, they wouldn’t be playing at their best and with Leverkusen going head to head with Stuttgart for the spot, sharing points in that game wasn’t an option. They went all in and were already winning from first half, got even a 3rd goal before Leipzig can think of replying at the 80th minute. A well deserved win for a good performance from Leverkusen.

What's the essence of taking this match very serious, Bayern Munich already won the Bundesliga trophy, and the remaining games are only finishing up what they started. If i were to be Bayern Munich management, i will start my second team while resting my first team players, going up against PSG in less than four days from tonight requires all essential players, including substitutes, to be well and ready.

Perfect result for Bayern Munich today, 3-3 after the final whistle, and 1 point added to what they have, 2 games left and Bayern Munich may decide to play safe on the remaining matches.

[stompix]

Hihihi, so this is the starting team:


Of course Bayern is still 1.25 favorite, but it seems like they finally learned that it makes no sense throwing players in the grinder before a decisive match.
If they do the same thing as with Mainz and sending Kane and Olise at halftime, they are nuts!

LE
FML, 0-2!  

Kimmich, Kane, Oliseh and Diaz entered the game with the score 1-2 at half-time
The game will likely be saved again. It's probably a good thing compared to Atlético, which don't mind giving away points to teams in the relegation zone. But if you consider the tournament as a whole, it's annoying.
On the other hand, if they don't beat PSG on Wednesday, then there will be something to blame Kompany for, who promised to win every game.

They are just dumb..
Imagine an injury happened and Olise would be benched for the next match. What would you do as a manager?
Well, other than hitting your head against the wall till the match with PSG?

Just dumb!
PSG has moved two games in the Ligue 1 to keep their players fresh, and you die on the field trying to save a game with absolutely no meaning.
Dumb, dumb, dumb!

You have a point, most of their key players are being reserved for the champions league game against psg and that explains why they couldn't win today. It is dangerous to bet on Bayern Munich in their domestic league at this point because they know that they are already at the top, they aren't really fighting for anything that's Cause no team is on their level. Their main focus now is on the champions league.

Winning RB Leipzig at home today is a result Bayer Leverkusen will be very much happy to achieve. Their chances of finishing in the top four of the German Bundesliga this season isn't guaranteed as they're just on the same number of points with 5th placed VfB Stuttgart. Since Xabi Alonso left Leverkusen, they've struggled to stay competitive in the league which I think is understandable but I'll not see reasons with the club manager if they fail to finish the season in the top four.
