Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

That's definitely right, context counts, but there is also the overall contribution to the team and Kane is very different from Haaland in many respects. He has an entirely different defensive game, builds up attacks from his own box when he defended, plays 50 meter + perfect passes. Haaland is the better striker in and around the box, but I would not say much better. He is 10% - 20% better, but when it comes to important goals, it is again and again impressive to see in which situations Kane is the one who scores that well needed goal.



Those numbers are anything, but not bad. This is what he did with Tottenham in the Premier League, not with Manchester City. Again, I agree that when it come to pure striking, Haaland is better and he is also quite a bit faster, Kane isn't a counter attacker, which would make him the 100% perfect football player. But those who understand how the game really works not only when goals are scored, but in its entirety, how spaces are covered, how spaces are created for other players, how outnumbering works without losing advantage in other places, Kane is on top of these things more than Haaland by the way.

I agree that they are completely different types of strikers, but even so, Kane has comparable numbers. If he hadn't been at Tottenham for so long, it would have been interesting to see what he could have achieved, at Bayern, he was already close to winning the Champions League (last year's Bayern looked like an ideal candidate). And by the way, last season he scored as many goals as Haaland can only dream of so far. If I had to choose between Haaland and Kane (assuming the same age of 25), I would choose Kane without hesitation, he has a wider range of skills/versatility.

It is clear that they are quite consistent compared to other teams. But I do not believe that Bayern will win the cup just because of the name and history. Because the Bundesliga is no longer what it used to be, the league has become more competitive. Those who have been watching for the last few seasons know that other teams have also been challenging Bayern. Especially when I say that the last time this happened was Bayer Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga without losing a single match in the 2023/24 season. Doesn't this prove that with the right balance, the right players and the right coach, it is possible to beat Bayern? Bayern's main strength is money and a tradition of winning.

Before Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga league in the 2023/2024 season, it was a historic win because Leverkusen won the league unbeaten, and that season Bayern Munich wasn't the same Bayern Munich we knew, the team was going through a challenging phase. Bayern Munich not only lost the league and finished as a runner-up, but they also finished in third place, meanwhile Bayern Munich had repeatedly won the Bundesliga trophy in 11 straight seasons.

If a team manages to win the Bundesliga ahead of Bayern Munich, it is usually surprising, and next season, Bayern will definitely reclaim the title.

RH Leipzig is a tough team and also an elite team. We know they're capable of competing for bundlesliga this season but the club is a selling club, they've trigger the sell clause of most of their players, we know what we're seeing in the club. They've brilliant players with stellar performance and this season, they're going try much harder than the previous season, it's just a matter of time before we can see them becoming competitive and ready for the big games after international break.

It has show that this season Leipzig have ready for any big teams and that is why we can see their performances is bit difference from last season. Currently now their in 10th place in the table which I’m sure they move on to the 5th if they come back from the international break, because their well set for any of their opponents.

Leipzig are full with better squads that what is give a lots of people hope for them, because once a team have a good coach and better players there’s nothing, remain accept the players refuse form a team work and cooperate with their coach.

Leipzig have not started well this season. They have played five matches, and I think they have only won two of them. The two matches they won were both played at home.If Leipzig have not lost their form, I don't think they are supposed to be around 10th position on the table. They should be around third or fourth. It is possible that they will improve, but for now, I can only conclude that they will improve when they come back from the international break.Seriously, I don't know why you are conceding so easily in that way. It is not as if you have key players injured who will return after the international break. But I would like to wait and see what happens after the international break

Before Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga league in the 2023/2024 season, it was a historic win because Leverkusen won the league unbeaten, and that season Bayern Munich wasn't the same Bayern Munich we knew, the team was going through a challenging phase. Bayern Munich not only lost the league and finished as a runner-up, but they also finished in third place, meanwhile Bayern Munich had repeatedly won the Bundesliga trophy in 11 straight seasons.

If a team manages to win the Bundesliga ahead of Bayern Munich, it is usually surprising, and next season, Bayern will definitely reclaim the title.

Bayer leverkusen tried their best and they won the Bundesliga under the management of Xabi Alonso who was ambitious enough to challenge the landlords of Bundesliga. It was remarkable and memorable for Bayer Leverkusen, they won it with unbeaten run and they're also close to making themselves consistent but things did turn around, nothing did work for them anymore when the board decided to be triggering the sell on options on players. Bayer Leverkusen joined Borrusia Dortmund to become a selling club since they're not winning titles, the least they can do is make profits off the sales of their players which worked perfectly fine for them.

Bayern Munich winning the Bundesliga have become their birthright, so the fans are longer jolt when their club wins it. Bayern Munich are extremely competitive and I think they're the biggest and most competitive club in Germany league, the only teams that currently comes close is Borrusia Dortmund but in recent years, Bayern Munich have owned them without any trace of a possible come back from Dortmund. Bayern Munich is the club making Bundesliga look like a farmer's league.

Leipzig has top players, but that doesn’t mean they can challenge other teams this season. I don’t think Leipzig can pose a threat to any top teams in the league this season. They just lost against Leverkusen, a team that is struggling with their performance. Leipzig will struggle to win against big teams like Bayern Munich, Dortmund amd even Stuttgart, I remember when Bayern Munich destroyed them in the opening game of last season.

Nkunku is also back to Leipzig on a loan deal. His performance at Leipzig that year was the reason why Chelsea signed him, but his performance was not good enough at the club. Last season, he went to AC Milan, but the club failed to keep him on a permanent contract. It will be interesting if he can get back to his old form, maybe Leipzig can sign him on a permanent deal.

[JiiBs]

Leipzig is holding its own near the top of the table, but their focus isn't on winning trophies so much as selling players, in that sense, their club management model reminds me somewhat of Borussia Dortmund. They play attractive attacking football, but it is clear that their ambitions are somewhat limited, they have already lost to Bayer, and I think their primary goal will be securing a Champions League spot.

I think that’s quite normal for any of the top leagues in Europe, every elite team is always competing for the top 4 so they can secure their champions league spot but then, in the Bundesliga, it’s a whole different scenario you know. The league trophy is almost uncontested because, you really wouldn’t be able to beat Bayern Munich to the league trophy and the only other thing to do is to compete for the 2-4th place on the league table. And that’s a well contested spot since the rest of the teams are quite modest. I don’t really see Leipzig to be that great this season, I have some more expectations on them before I can be more trusting of their performance.

That's true, and many players have regretted overstaying at some clubs where the ovation is being killed. Look at Harry Kane as an example. When he was in Tottenham, everyone knew he was good, but the wider football world always attached him to a lesser Spurs because they weren't winning the biggest football trophies.The second he moved to Bayern Munich, the narrative instantly changed. Before then, he kept doing the same thing for a decade, but suddenly he was worthy as Ballon d'Or candidate because he was wearing a valuable shirt that carries global spotlight and regularly wins league titles. You can see that the guy didn't magically get better, but the club just got bigger.

I don't entirely agree with you, you took as an example a player who is truly very talented and many talent scouts had their eye on him, maybe at Tottenham he couldn't express his maximum potential or at least not revive his abilities, but that doesn't mean he wasn't being calculated.

I'm happy you still agreed with some even if you don't entirely. But that's even my curiosity, why would anyone disagree over an obvious thing? Harry Kane has always been the shining star, but tell me, did the world appreciate him the way they do now when he was in Tottenham? He has been that guy but the ovation was so little. Compare what he won in Tottenham for over 19 years with the total of 11 trophies and major individual awards in just 3 years n Bayen, with high possibility that Ballon d'Or would be added next month.

Matchday #5 in the Bundesliga will still be played next month, Borussia Dortmund can remain at ease until the next match arrives. Well, it's not the usual condition in the Bundesliga to see them leading the standings now. Moreover, the points difference between Borussia Dortmund & Bayern Munich isn't that far, only 2 points. How long do you think Borussia Dortmund can maintain their current position, matchday #6, matchday #7 or matchday #8?

[Chilwell]

Leipzig can still turn things around to return back to their winning ways, the season is very early to continue with this performance. Leipzig is one of the best teams in Bundesliga, even in term of producing quality players. Leipzig has been producing quality players for the past two years, at this point they shouldn’t be struggling with their games in the league. If they can get better, maybe they can also compete for the league title this season.

Dortmund is the only team that won their all matches this season across all the competitions. Dortmund always disappoints their fans at the end of the season, otherwise, I would have say they are the favorite team to compete with Bayern Munich for the title, but their performance will start to reduce at the middle of the season.

However, Leipzig has a club that is very interested in the team behind it. Even though during the summer phase he saw a return from Nkunku, who is undoubtedly a player who has always done well at Leipzig, he still struggles to find consistency in victories, something that was less visible at the beginning. Today, after years, however, it is a team that tends to remain at the top of the table, but which actually struggles to reach the top.

Borussia Dortmund is among the best team in the Bundesliga but due to their decline, that was why they could not be able to maintain the spots. Their performance this season is absolutely moving smoothly but I found it very difficult to be convinced with that because of what they have been doing in the past. Bayern Munich have drawn one match and that was why they are behind Borussia Dortmund, the season has not gone far and there are a lot of matches ahead, that is why I could not have so much confidence for Borussia Dortmund to finish the league at the top.

How long do you think Borussia Dortmund can maintain their current position, matchday #6, matchday #7 or matchday #8?

They might be able to hold on to the top spot until the 7th match day. On the 8th match day, Dortmund will face Bayern Munich in an away match. I don't think Dortmund has a significant chance of winning this match. The chances of both teams dropping points before this match are very low. Maybe both teams will be undefeated until the match against each other and will earn full points. Then Dortmund will lose the match against Bayern Munich and take second place by 1 point.

Leipzig is a team with the potential to win the Bundesliga or at least compete with Bayern Munich, but it's a club that tends to focus much more on profit. Indeed, when it can sell and make money, it's something it tends to do. But if they just decided to focus a little more on their players, on maintaining a team that can deliver results, it would certainly become an interesting challenge.

Dortmund is topping the league with 2 points different followed by Bayern munich, and Dortmund next 2 matches look to be easier for them to win even by the odds that was given to them by bookmakers. But to me I'm not really sure if they'll be able to with their next 3 matches because football this days is unpredictable, we might be thinking they'll win the matches all before they'll face the defending champions which is Bayern, you guys will be surprise that one of those Dortmund matches might end draw or Dortmund losing to one of the clubs. Who even believed that schalke 04 will hold Bayern munich to the extend that Bayern couldn't score a single goal on that match, true this analysis that you guys did now i can see why some gamblers loses their bets, because they put so much trust on some clubs believing football of those days that once big teams meet small clubs that they must win, i understand Dortmund 2 matches look more easier but i think we don't need to conclude they'll get the 6 points straight.

Perhaps Dortmund will still be able to secure full points in their next two matches. Dortmund’s home-field advantage when they host Werder Bremen in Round 5 will be a major advantage for them as they look to apply pressure and dominate the match. And in head-to-head matchups Dortmund has also performed better than Werder Bremen in their last five meetings. As for Round 6 Dortmund will face Union Berlin which should be an easy opponent for them. Union Berlin has been performing very poorly lately with three losses and even a lot of goals conceded. So I personally believe that Dortmund will still be able to maintain their position at the top of the standings. But I doubt that Dortmund will be able to do so in Round 7 against Eintracht Frankfurt. Around that time Dortmund will have a fairly packed schedule including a Champions League match against Sabah Baku. And they’ll then have to figure out a solid strategy to hold their own in the DFB-Pokal match against Werder Bremen.

I agree with you, Harry Kane is the right man to win the Ballon d’Or award this year. No one else deserves it more than him after his performance throughout last season. Other players are just shouting in the internet, thinking they had a better season than Kane last season. Even in the World Cup he gave it his best, but that wasn’t enough for England to reach the final. He won many trophies with Bayern Munich last season, that’s is enough to win the award.

Harry Kane is not cursed at all. A cursed person won the league title back to back, Harry Kane has been having a great performance since he left Tottenham, he only failed to win the league title on his debut season after Leverkusen won the league. But after the first seasons, he have won the league title for two seasons in row. I believe more are still coming this season.

im pretty sure he's one of the most likely players to win the Ballon d'Or, along with Haaland, who have an impressive number of goals and assists between them. Therefore, i believe the Ballon d'Or, being an individual award, should go to one of them.

[changaa]

I understand your point, but I'm not entirely sure that will work. If salaries are capped at the same level everywhere, top players simply won't be interested. Star players bring massive commercial value; they generate huge money just from their image, and if a club doesn't compensate them properly for that, they'll just sign elsewhere. This happens a lot in Germany. The philosophy there is to keep salaries more balanced across the board, which is fine, but it makes it harder to attract top-tier global stars. The most prominent stars end up in the Premier League, La Liga, or even Serie A because the financial packages are much more attractive.

Looking at the salaries in the Saudi League, it's on a whole different level, and I think that over time, those massive contracts will heavily influence where the new generation of stars decides to play.

And yet it absolutely should be this way, precisely because players wouldn't choose their team based on the money they'd earn, but rather based on where they actually want to play. And they'd certainly work much harder to keep a spot on that team. And so, they'd even start creating new players, and there wouldn't be such a huge waste of money as in recent years.

Dortmund is topping the league with 2 points different followed by Bayern munich, and Dortmund next 2 matches look to be easier for them to win even by the odds that was given to them by bookmakers. But to me I'm not really sure if they'll be able to with their next 3 matches because football this days is unpredictable, we might be thinking they'll win the matches all before they'll face the defending champions which is Bayern, you guys will be surprise that one of those Dortmund matches might end draw or Dortmund losing to one of the clubs.

And Dortmund staying at the top is not something that is guaranteed because, to me, 2 points is nothing, and only if they try to get more points, because that is one of the mistakes that most of the clubs are making, is finding a way to be consistent, and I doubt if Dortmund will be able to keep up for long because we know the kind of club Dortmund is, so we know who is going to win the Bundesliga, and from the way things are going, Dortmund does not have what it takes.

And their games are looking easier let's wait and see what will happen next because that is the problem. I feel like we are still underestimating Bayern Munich because they are suffering from a smart coach, and he knows what his doing, so this is part of the reasons I said it's going to be very difficult for them to be able to win, and I don't really know what Kompany is playing at, but they should be able to win the Bundesliga for sure.

[banana33]

It's always like that most of the times, if you can remember last season Bayern Munich didn't start the season quite well, and I was believing that maybe since Bayern Leverkusen has once deprive them of a season and ended their winning streak, I was thinking it's another bad season for them, but as time goes by those teams that were doing just fine started declining and Bayern Munich took the lead, that was the end of the season, so Leipzig almost came with such spirit but was cut short of the glory.

Because it's the most common mistake made by teams that manage to win the league. It happens far too often. Just think of Ranieri's historic Leicester City, which the year they won the Premier League was just a springboard for players to move to other teams. The same goes for Bayer Leverkusen. Once they won the league, their key players left the club, and that takes away the team's chance of maintaining the same quality.

[bastisisca]

Normally. Leipzig is not a weak team and they have the ability to.be one of the big clubs in the competition. But youve already stated their main problem they are selling their players and that is why they don't really boarder to even think of dominating the league like other team.

However, I seeing that they will be change this season, Leipzig may do everythihg in their powers to see that they keep a good consistency this season.

Yes, the club doesn't deny it. It's a team that tends to be active in the transfer market, even when players are outgoing. So when they can profit from selling a player, they certainly don't hold back, and i actually find this a bit sad, if we base football on the football of the past, when representing the team and being a symbol was a much more important thing. Nowadays, however, the players, like the club, only care about their own income.

[m4r1o]

Bayern munich have dominated the league for a long time and they look nonstop, as long as the Bundesliga competition is concern I don't thing there is any team in the  Bundesliga at the moment that will give Bayern Munich any tough time in the league, they will definitely continue dominating and will continue winning their trophy easily.

Bayer Leverkusen wanted to be a challenge for Bayern munich buy only manageed to maintain that performance for one season, they couldn't maintain that performance for many season, We dont know how it's going to be anything can happen.

Bayern Munich is in a league of its own, just like Paris Saint-Germain is in their own league. And i don't say this to belittle other teams in the various leagues, but simply because they have a club that spends more money to ensure the best version of the team to offer to their fans and their history.

[ASloveapg]

I agree with you, Harry Kane is the right man to win the Ballon d’Or award this year. No one else deserves it more than him after his performance throughout last season. Other players are just shouting in the internet, thinking they had a better season than Kane last season. Even in the World Cup he gave it his best, but that wasn’t enough for England to reach the final. He won many trophies with Bayern Munich last season, that’s is enough to win the award.

Harry Kane is not cursed at all. A cursed person won the league title back to back, Harry Kane has been having a great performance since he left Tottenham, he only failed to win the league title on his debut season after Leverkusen won the league. But after the first seasons, he have won the league title for two seasons in row. I believe more are still coming this season.

im pretty sure he's one of the most likely players to win the Ballon d'Or, along with Haaland, who have an impressive number of goals and assists between them. Therefore, i believe the Ballon d'Or, being an individual award, should go to one of them.

Personally, I also want Harry Kane to win the Ballon d'Or, he deserves it. His performances are amazing, there is no age effect on him yet, he is still in his best form and he played very well last season, and so yes, Harry Kane is one of the most likely candidates for the Ballon d'Or. And I think about his Bayern journey, then his contract with Bayern ends in June 2027, but I think that Bayern can extend Harry Kane's contract without any worries, I think he can play at least 3 to 4 more seasons at his best. It will not be easy to find a great striker like Harry Kane, and today we are going to see Harry Kane's great performance in the national team, this England match against Spain will start in a while.
