Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

I know that German football philosophy is a bit different; stars are treated more like everyone else. This means that if you stand out, you can't have as much freedom as in other leagues, where everything revolves around that one person, like in the era of CR7 and Messi. I remember that Messi was nobody until Xavi, Iniesta, and sometimes Ronaldinho himself gave him opportunities to score goals, but the truly good players at that time, whose recognition should have been given to them, were the ones who deserved it.

In Germany it's a different kind of treatment, but I love it nonetheless. If I had been a professional, I would have liked to go to Germany first: firstly because of its language, which is spectacular, then because of its culture and beauty, and lastly because of its very good technique. Wow, that's one of the things that fascinates me about it. Besides, you get experience playing against people who are quite tall, which is very difficult.

but the real test will come in their matches against Bayern Munich. If Dortmund manages to win those games against Bayern, they can certainly remain in contention for the top spot. We all know that Bayern Munich is currently the hardest team to stop in Germany, to face such a magnificent squad, you need to elevate your own quality to an even higher level in those matches.

Based on the post you quoted from me, it actually does not matter what result Dortmund get against Bayern. All Dortmund need is to finish second in the league at the end of the season. So this is not really about the title race, because Bayern will most likely still dominate the league and win the title in the end.

There is no need to keep hoping that Dortmund will be at the top of the table. It would be better to hope that they finish second and our bet wins.

I think it’s already obvious that the Champions League is Bayern’s number one priority. You can see that very clearly from the way the team rotates the squad before Champions League matches, sometimes this even leads to Bayern drawing Bundesliga games, so the team’s priorities are pretty clear. I think Bayern could definitely win the Champions League, because they are in excellent form. Last season PSG managed to stop them, but it’s still unclear how things will turn out this season. Barcelona on the other hand also look very good right now.

Bayern Munich were in a better form than PSG last season but still lost to them, so its clearly not about the best team anymore,  a club with little expectations could win the Champions League this season. But we have our favorites, Barca and Bayern Munich as the most favorites to win considering their performance in league matches, it's more interesting when there is a lot of competition so it's worth the wait.

I can't really say that Bayern Munich was in better shape than PSG last season. Is it because PSG lost more matches than Bayern or what? I don't understand, because I know that Bayern Munich and PSG play in different leagues. And the fact is that when Bayern Munich and PSG met, PSG was able to defeat them, qualify for the final, and win the Champions League.So, to me, I don't believe that Bayern Munich was better than PSG last season. And what I want you to understand is that having better players is different from being a better team. PSG have been a better team despite not having some of the great players that other big teams have.The Champions League competition has just started, and I would say that there are many teams that should be considered among the favorites to win the Champions League: Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, PSG, and Manchester City.

Bayern's dominance in the Champions League is not very high, because the competition here is between the biggest teams, and it is very difficult for each team to progress well. And so it is not yet possible to say which team will win the Champions League, PSG is very strong, Bayern is very strong, Barcelona is also very strong, Arsenal, Madrid, Manchester City are also there, each of them is moving forward with all their might to become the champion. And here we cannot neglect anyone, PSG is very strong, personally I think PSG is very likely to win the title. And we will also understand who has more chances between PSG and Barcelona, ​​when Barcelona and PSG face each other.

But in the end we can never say who will actually win the Champions League title, Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga, Barcelona is the strongest team in La Liga, each team is very strong in their own domestic leagues, but in the case of the Champions League, the strongest will win, so we will just have to see.

There is no need to keep hoping that Dortmund will be at the top of the table. It would be better to hope that they finish second and our bet wins.

I also don't expect much from the competition in the Bundesliga. We know what Munich's dominance is like, even though now Dortmund seems to be leading the standings, but this is only 4 matches. We still have many matches that can change the situation. 
Dortmund last season was also in 2nd place in the Bundesliga standings. If they can play well and consistently, of course that's good, but I don't think the two of them will compete for the trophy.

There are 30 matches left in the season, and a lot can change over that span. In recent years, we have seen Bayern Munich cruise to the championship in this league with ease. We could well see a repeat of that scenario this year. Although Bayern Munich isn't currently leading the standings because having a draw, Dortmund will likely start dropping points soon, while Bayern Munich continues to consistently beat every opponent. We might once again witness an early title win before the season even concludes; Germany is a place where Bayern Munich reigns supreme.

Looking at the gap between them and the second team in the last two seasons, it is clear that the other teams have not been able to maintain their level consistently.

However, I find it difficult to reconcile your calculations with the fact that Bayern could have become champions even if they had lost 10 or 9 matches. In 2024/25, Bayern finished with 82 points and Leverkusen had 69 points. There was a 13-point gap between them. Even if I assume that Bayern had won and lost 5 more matches, their points would have dropped to 68 and Leverkusen would have been above them. Last season, Bayern also got 89 points and Dortmund 73. The gap was 16, not 9 matches.

No, there are 34 games to be played each season in the Bundesliga.

As you yourself said, Leverkusen finished with 69 points. If Bayern had won 24 games and lost 10 games, they would have finished with 72 points. They could even lose 11 games! Because they most probably would have had the superior score difference. There is no competition for Bayern. Just imagine this fact, Bayern can afford to lose 10 games! Lol, it's not going to happen, and worse of it all is, Leverkusen and Dortmund will hardly get more than 70 points. It's not impossible for Dortmund though and my hope is that they do at least get somewhere near 80 points.

Kompany was a perfect hit for Bayern Munich,from the start they played amazing and their team each season is improving. In the bundesliga they are by a class better then the rest od the teams and i think this team can only grow even more and be better with Kompany.

I just wonder if Bayern Munich can make that step further and win the champions league and win it all finally

It’s hard to point a previous Bayern Munich manager that didn’t do well domestically at the club, for the past decades. Kompay is a good coach no doubt, but let’s not make it look like he is doing something that we haven’t seen any previous Bayern Munich manager haven’t did for the past 20 or 30 years. I will only give Kompay his flowers if only he can win the Champions league for this club, I will do that because not many managers won that prestigious trophy for this club.

Bayern Munich already possesses a very strong squad. The victories they secure in home matches are not solely due to the influence of the head coach; the team is naturally a consistent winner on its own turf. However, the coach's impact becomes crucial in big matches. Depending on the quality of that impact, the coach can be rightfully credited with a significant share of the success.

For Bayern Munich, the priority must be achieving success in the Champions League. While the team often delivers performances suggesting they are virtually unbeatable, they frequently fail to execute their game plan in Champions League fixtures. They need to rectify this issue.

Naturally, the Champions League trophy is Bayern Munich's firstly, the manager who delivers it becomes all the more valuable to the club. Last year, Kompany was unfortunately eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, though they could well have won the cup and likely would have had a strong chance of defeating Arsenal in the final. Of course, since they didn't reach the final, we cannot know for sure, however, the Bayern Munich board expects the team to win the Bundesliga every year. Failure in the Bundesliga is sufficient grounds for a manager's dismissal.

Right now, Kompany is a perfect recruit because he has made Bayern Munich stronger and more stable, even though he hasn’t been able to win the UCL title with the team yet. However, in the early days of Bayern Munich recruiting Kompany, it wasn’t as smooth as expected because at that time many doubted his abilities, especially since before coming to Munich, Kompany had failed with Burnley. So when he first arrived at Munich there were a lot of pros and cons.  

But now Kompany has proven that he deserves to coach a big team like Munich and he has made Munich not just a solid team, but also given the team a new character under his leadership. Indeed, in his first season he failed with Munich if I’m not mistaken, Munich lost to PSG in the semifinals. But this season, Kompany’s preparations with Munich are becoming more mature to win more titles especially to continue maintaining dominance in the Bundesliga and possibly win the UCL title.

Its easy to manage a team like Bayern Munich where you have too many superstars and you can honestly win every game in your league. But when the champions league comes to mind Kompany just got outplayed by Enrique in every tactic aspect of the game. Now he needs to do better this season because he has a world class team and the champions league is the main goal

[Oluwa-btc]

I wouldn't go so far as to call it genius Kompany is doing a good job, but the reality is that Bayern has no competition in the Bundesliga right now. In season 2024/2025, Leverkusen finished 2nd with 69 points! In 2025/2026 Dortmund finished with 73 points. Bayern could afford to lose 10 or 9 games respectively and still win the Bundesliga. It's too easy for them, Kompany had the right timing when Diaz and Olise came in, and them team is pretty good compared to any other Bundesliga team.

He did will in the Champions League though, credits to him, but for me the real question is whether other coaches would have done significantly worse or better and I think it would have probably been about the same.

He is doing a good job, no doubt. His communication is usually very respectable, he doesn't show off or brag or freak out at the field or at press conferences. So overall I think he deserves the position. I dislike his tendency to rotate too much early in the season.

I'm surprised you have added no comments about Vincent Kompany not winning the Champions League competition,  I thought that was a measure used for weighing managers who did well or who comes next after the next person. He has to win the Champions League competition in my opinion. Although Pep Guardiola didn’t get to win it with Bayern Munich but we still go on to call him the best. I would want to see Vincent Kompany winning it with Bayern Munich. You can go on winning the Bundesliga league competition multiple times, if you do ot win the Champions League, most of these German fans rate you less.

Ahead of the fifth round, Can Borussia Dortmund win five games in a row?

Naturally, the main goal for Bayern Munich is the Champions League, and their current squad is capable of winning it. Their attack, in particular, is among the best in the world, the team features Díaz, Kane, and Olise, with Saibari added as a backup option. They are determined to win the Champions League title this year. The Bundesliga, on the other hand, is the easier part of the equation, I believe they will win the league with relative ease.

But what about Bayern's defense? You are quite confident in their attack, which has many high quality players, but you seem to forget that Bayern have focused too much on their attack while their defense has not received as much attention. It is not that they lack quality defenders, but their lack of consistency and poor defensive combinations have caused Bayern to miss out on important trophies. We saw an example of this when they faced PSG.

So, if Bayern only have a strong attack without a solid defense, it will make it difficult for them to compete for the UCL title.

Bayern Munich still have quality players in their defense but their major weapons have always been in their attacking system of play. They are a team that always want to attack, create chances and score as many goals as possible because they believe attacking is the best form of defense. But the truth is they still need to find a balance between their attack and defense in order to make them a complete team capable of attacking and defending together. Attacks can win them games but to win titles they need stability in defense.

Yamal said he deserves it as well, but most of us knows his not even the best player at Barcelona, if not that the team and fans have sidelined Raphinha in important awards like this, he claimed he won it all and that goals shouldn't be used.~

I’ve always been intrigued by that unanimity at Barcelona - they always pick one player (not necessarily the best one) and hype him up to the max, no matter what, while the other players just put up with it. Even Rodri, who just moved to Barcelona and actually has more titles than Barcelona in recent years, spoke in favor of Yamal, although in theory he should have personal ambitions. I’ve long been intrigued by the secrets of this sect (ever since the days of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and the rest), but it’s unlikely we’ll ever find them out.

Lol, you just cracked me up here. Seriously it is what it is. Although I'm this very case of Yamal his actually very good but in my opinion his not the right player to hype, someone else is better than him in the team. If Rodri who just joined the team said this about Yamal, then it proves my suspicions, it's an agenda base, Yamal is Spanish and came from the Academy whilst the other guy was bought fee seasons ago. Now it makes more sense why someone who isn't the best in the team is being hyped instead of the actual guy. Of a truth this other guy has been dropping banger after banger, even this season, we are all seeing his work rate but it's same old story. I'm not taking anything away from Yamal, his so exceptional but someone was and is still better at the moment.

I have to check the topic name several times to be sure that I am reading something related to La Liga in your posts rather than Bundesliga. It is easy to deviate from the main topic with a remark.

Dortmund last season was also in 2nd place in the Bundesliga standings. If they can play well and consistently, of course that's good, but I don't think the two of them will compete for the trophy.

Although Borussia Dortmund is focused on winning the league title, they face a very strong opponent. Bayern Munich is a team that dominates the league, and it’s very difficult for other teams to reach their level. It’s not too early to talk about the championship because this is the Bundesliga. Of course, Bayern Munich is the favorite to win the title, and there’s a 99.9% chance they’ll do so. They already consider the league title a done deal, and in my opinion, for Bayern Munich to have a truly successful season, they need to win the Champions League trophy. We’ve grown accustomed to their success in the league it’s become routine.

[jahead]

There are many other great teams in the German Bundesliga besides Bayern Munich. In this thread, everyone only prompts about Bayern over and over again.  Maybe you should open a extra thread for that, its getting kind of boring... And before anyone says anything, I have already passed a really good ball several times, but nobody picked it up...
