Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Hvdv]

So many people’s keep saying that Bayern Munich are the favorites to win the Bundesliga title, which previous back I reply that with way Dortmund performances seem to be a great one this season Bayern Munich is going to face some challenges. But some people prove me wrong look at it now, Dortmund are have took over the top spot from Bayern Munich.

We all know that the season is not yet over, since there’s still a lot of match to play, but so far with how Dortmund performance is going on currently if they keep it up and continue in that way it will not be easy for Bayern Munich this season.

Dortmund is only on top of the table for a short time, I believe that as the season goes farther, they will get weak and start dropping points. That's when Bayern will overtake them.

You should know that Bayern squad is formidable and no team in Bundesliga can stay so strong for long. Currently, Bayern level of teams are in the Champions League and not in Bundesliga. Two points is very small and I believe that if Dortmund continue to win their matches, they will drop points when they clash with Bayern.

We have seen that this is generally the case in recent years when Bayern Munich plays Dortmund, Bayern wins. Dortmund hasn't been able to gain the upper hand against them lately. They started the league well and are currently leading, but winning the match against Bayern is what really matters. If they don't beat Bayern, their other victories won't matter at all, because the match that decides the champion is the one against Bayern. If you Beating Bayern effectively gains you 6 points.

Let us just wait and see how things are going to transform because because the kind 9f players that Bayern Munich have they don't really need to struggle and for some time now I think this season Dortmund seems to be more serious it was not what I expected but they are actually looking like they really want to win this season let's see how far they can go.

So why do you think differently about Bayern Munich winning the German Bundesliga, don’t you understand that everyone is going to always think that Bayern Munich will win the Bundesliga because they’ve been very dominant for more than a decade, the fact that Dortmund is topping with two points doesn’t mean that Dortmund will end up winning the German Bundesliga.

However if they can come up with a surprise performance throughout the season like Bayern Leverkusen did in  2023-2024 season then they can have a chance of winning the Bundesliga, It’s going to take something extra special for any team to win the Bundesliga when Bayern Munich is still dominating everyone.

The last time Dortmund won the Bundesliga was in 2011/2012 season and since then they’ve not been able to win it again and that season they actually mounted a huge title challenge against Bayern Munich through Jurgen klopp as coach. For any team other than Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title they will have to do something extraordinary to win it just like you mentioned Leverkusen did in the 2023 seasons where they won it in style by going unbeaten throughout the season if not it would be very difficult to see another team winning the Bundesliga except Bayern.

We all knows that when it comes to champions League every teams comes with different mindset out side the one they do make use of in their local leagues, so any teams that has qualify for this season champions League you not be underatetd because teams are looking at the way of being able of lifting the champions League trophy, even as Bundesliga might look more difficult for Borussia Dortmund to be dominating in all their matches but at least with the 4 matches that is played so far, Broussia Dortmund is doing marvelous well and meae while they are the one topping the Bundesliga league, it is not a bad idea of seeing Broussia Dortmund lifting the Bundesliga league in these seasons.

There are countless of comments like yours and everyone knows immediately that you don't know the German Bundesliga very well and that you are not watching the matches in full. Saying that Dortmund has been doing marvelously well is a joke at best. They haven't played well against Stuttgart, they won against Hoffenheim with lots of luck on their side, lost the Super Cup against Bayern and you call all of that marvelous. Have you ever seen a Bundesliga match? You are confusing results with the level of their football. Dortmund is not good, but lucky for them is that all the other other teams are even worse.

The only acceptable match was against Paderborn, but it is hard to derive any serious conclusions from matches against teams like Paderborn. It is not very meaningful.

If you want we can arrange a bet. I give you 5:1, Dortmund will have no chance to win the Bundesliga.

I don't deserve to be part of this discussion, I think  

Well, I don't blame POPOLUV for his opinion. Some people rely mostly on result and draw their conclusion from the match result while they pay less attention or totally ignored performance. Personally, I know the importance of result and getting three points but if you don't perform well, I won't be impress no matter how many goals you score. Goals can come anyhow, including silly mistakes from your opponent. You create goal opportunities if you're playing very well. I'm not saying performance should be prioritised over result but I'm saying it shouldn't be ignored either.

Dortmund looks great on the table for now but not on the pitch yet.

You don't need to be stronger than Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga, building a team that can maintain consistency against relatively small teams is enough to win the Bundesliga title. A consistent team is more needed than a strong team to win the league title. It is possible to win a match or a few matches with a strong team, but the ability to perform consistently is essential for a long fight. The ability to perform consistently throughout the season is more important than the ability to beat Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga. Due to the busy Champions League schedule, Bayern Munich sometimes has to drop points in Bundesliga matches under pressure, Dortmund will mainly have to exploit those opportunities.

Yes, the last season Dortmund won the league was 2011/12 season under Jürgen Klopp, that season, the were very serious that time, but they started to sell some of their key players which was the reason why they couldn’t attempt winning the Bundesliga again until 11 years after when they were so close to winning the Bundesliga and failed. They tried their best to be at the top of the league until the final day, but they couldn’t win the league as they failed to win their last match against Mainz, they were held 2-2 draw in the final match which gave Bayern Munich the chance the league as they won their last match 2-1 against Cologne; they both finished with same points but goal difference gave Bayern Munich the title.

Nevertheless, this can be the season because I think whenever Dortmund decides to be serious, they do pull up some surprises, and I think Vincent Kompany’s main target is the Champions League not the Bundesliga, therefore, Dortmund can try their luck to win the Bundesliga if they can be consistent this season.

That applies to every league, really. In fact, that is precisely what sets Bayern Munich apart from the other teams. They clearly dominate their opponents and win consistently. A few years ago, Leverkusen put in a similar performance and won the title. However, right now, I don't see any team in Germany other than Bayern capable of maintaining that kind of consistency.

7 days before the Bundesliga will resume, opening match will be filled by Borussia Dortmund & Werder Bremen. Interesting aspect of this match concerns Borussia Dortmund, they're currently the league leaders & it will be interesting to see what they achieve in this match.

Based on the odds above, honestly, I have no doubt that Borussia Dortmund will fail to get 3 points.

Image Source: Rollbit

Image above shows the odds for BTTS, bookmakers are confident that both teams will score, which is why the odds for "No" are higher. Fun fact is that last season, in the home & away matches, the only team to score goals was Borussia Dortmund. Do you think you’d dare challenge yourselves to bet on "No" & get better odds?

Anything that you see Borussia Dortmund are currently doing now when it comes to their performance, they had a very wonderful performance more than what they are doing currently doing, but unfortunately they could not be able to win a trophy, that is why a lot of people are still doubting their competence. Just as you have said the season is not over yet, so let's see how it's going to be in the future for the both teams, like others I have confidence that Bayern Munich is capable despite the appearance Borussia Dortmund at this moment, when it comes to winning the trophy.

[bombastic89]

I don't think Dortmund prioritize champions league over Bundesliga but I think the Bundesliga is just too tough for them to win because bayern Munich doesn't seem like giving any team a chance to win it anytime soon. Bayern is just too strong for any of the Bundesliga teams to handle and that's why they always find a way to win no matter how much other teams try.

Dortmund wants both but they can’t have it and the reason is simply because they do not have the capacity in terms of their squad depth and delivery to be able to do so. They can’t either decide to give Bundesliga more energy and push as their primary target and focus while Champions League comes in as their secondary goal. Bundesliga seems more easier to take though they will have to figure out the best way to maintain such momentum for a long period of time so as not to become at disadvantage. They are currently leading the table with 12 points and two points ahead of Bayern Munich but, even though this might sound so difficult to achieve but winning over clubs like Bayern Munich at the table will require them to go unbeaten throughout the season. It is only then they are guaranteed of taking the league, anything less than such will pose them in more danger.

Dortmund is undoubtedly a team with a chance of winning the Bundesliga, with 12 points and a two-point advantage over Bayern, but they seem more interested in aiming for the Champions League.
We'll see if they have the strength to make that extra push this year. For me, yes. And I think I'm right in saying it out loud.

[Sammye3]

One question we should probably keep in mind is, is this really the first time Dortmund have been in first place early in the season? Yeah, it is not the first time, and in the end Bayern went on to win the title quite comfortably without much difficulty.

Bayern gave Dortmund the head start, it is not something new to us, at this point, it doesn't matter if Dortmund are topping the table at the moment, what is more assuring is that Bayern are not going to lose the league. It is only 2 points separating the two clubs, with only four matches played this season.

Dortmund would need to inprove their squad depth to compete against Bayern Munich because the current squad would never stand a chance. They are having a good game so far but it's just a matter of time before Bayern takes the wheel again. With the current form of Olise, Harry Kane and Musiala, there's almost no chance they could beat that.

It's being a couple of years back that Dortmund won the league, times where they were closer than where they are now, but it's not entirely dismissive as there's still the slightest possibility.

[broccolo9]

Bayern Munich are now just advancing their matches slightly, they are not very competitive and attacking strongly. Currently, Bayern Munich is in second place from the top of the points table, but Dortmund is in first place, but we can guess that they will not be able to stay for long. Although Dortmund is a good team, their recent performance looks very good, but due to the lack of suitable players in the team, they will not be able to survive in the top position. Since the team is currently winning every match, due to which they are in the top position of the points table, but anyway, I also think that when they face strong teams, they can collapse. And Bayern Munich will definitely fight with more excitement later to expand their dominance and go to their top position, they deserve to win the title. And Dortmund will not be able to survive by competing with Bayern Munich, we can guess.

Bayern Munich undoubtedly have the most in-form team in the entire Bundesliga, Dortmund 12, Bayern 10, they can certainly give them a hard time during the championship, but they are still a team in another category, as soon as the tension drops even just a little, the whole team goes haywire.

Suddenly, when a club is at the number 1 spot, people started saying their praises and forget the past blames and performance reality. Well, Dortmund started well, but I don't think they will finish as brilliantly as they are now. A brilliant start like this is not uncommon in the world of football, and it's just 4 matches played yet out of many to come. It's obvious that they mightvstill lose some and draw others. This is where the usual winner, Bayern would take the number 1 spot back.

Even if Dortmund is able to win Bayern, I don't think that they will be able to stay strong for so long and end up winning the title. This is the advantage of Bayern over other teams in Bundesliga, because Bayern has strong players that can be in form throughout the season. If they win Bayern and get all six points, it wouldn't change anything.

 However, I'm not trying to underestimate them because football is full of surprises but I doubt their strength in the long run.

And even this season, what makes you think they will be able to win the Bundesliga? And from what am seen, there is more for us to understand that it is not just about what is happening now the season still has a long way to go because it will not be as easy as it looks, and for more reasons like this. That is why we are sure that Bayern Munich is going to win, because they need to understand that when it comes to football, we know the kind of potential that a club like this holds, and the company has one smart coach, so they will definitely do very well.

And even Leverkusen is able to win the title because, from the way it has been happening for a long time, it also took Bayern a long time to be able to do a comeback, and since Kompany came to the club, there have been a lot of changes in that club, and that is why I feel like Dortmund still has a chance this season.

No, Leverkusen isn't able to win the title, that's bullshit. Leverkusen, if they get lucky, finish top four, but that's it.

Kompany didn't change much. When you become a Bayern coach, there are a few nuances that decide whether you have a better team than last year. Olise was a great transfer and Kompany can be happy to have him, same goes for Harry Kane. These are usually details that Bayern coaches rarely have an influence on. Except for Guardiola, who really had a say in all things transfers, most coaches have to accept any decision the director of sports makes for the Bayern team.

The reason Bayern will win the title in 95 / 100 times is because the gap is too big to sustainably be closed by any of the Bundesliga teams. Exceptional seasons like that of Leverkusen happen once or twice in a century, but other than that the tile winner is pre-determined.

It has been a long time since Dortmund won the Bundesliga, and since then, Bayern Munich have kept winning it. It was only in the last three seasons that Leverkusen surprised us and won it, as nobody was expecting them to be able to win it at the beginning of the season when they started with their great performances. In fact, it was when only a few matches remained for the season to end that many people started believing that it was possible for Leverkusen to win it.People are looking at Dortmund in the same manner now because they see that they don't have great players like Bayern Munich. But sometimes, it is not all about having that kind of great player like Bayern Munich, or better players than Bayern. It is just about having some good players who are very determined.

Now, Dortmund are already topping the table. If they can be consistent, it is very possible for them to be able to win the Bundesliga this season. Right now, if I am asked which team has the highest chances of winning the Bundesliga, I will say Dortmund because they are the top team, and the signs they have shown in the few games they have played have been really great.But everything can change in a few matches if Bayern Munich continue winning their matches without dropping points, while Dortmund drop points

[YOSHIE]

No, Leverkusen isn't able to win the title, that's bullshit. Leverkusen, if they get lucky, finish top four, but that's it.

Maybe @Baki202 saw Leverkusen's career journey, winning the German League (Bundesliga) in 2024 and he might also see that Leverkusen is the main competitor in the German League and is also one of the teams that is performing well or seeing Leverkusen's ranking in 5th position inCurrent standings in the German League.

But from my assessment for the 2026/27 German League season, Bayern Munich in my assessment is the strongest team and candidate in the German League this season, I don't want to say that the Munich team can win, but from my observations the opportunity to win and win the German League (Bundesliga) for the 2026/27 season is large, this can be confirmed and can be seen from the various matches that have been completed, even though the main rivals are Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig & VfB Stuttgart.

You are right, I don't think it is necessary to have a better squad than Bayern in every position to win the Bundesliga. Not dropping points against small and medium teams throughout the season is more important. Although I wouldn't say consistency is completely enough.

If you take the example of Dortmund and Bayern's 2022/23 season, it will be clear. At that time, they both finished the season with 71 points. Dortmund drew 2-2 against Mainz on the last day. On the other hand, Bayern will probably beat Cologne and win the title on goal difference. How big a difference 2 points in a match can make is clearly understood by taking the example of that season.

I remember that last round very well, and to this day it’s still hard to understand how Dortmund could just drawn, such an important match for them. But on the other hand, to me this is another indication that winning the Bundesliga title is far from Dortmund’s main goal. They make a lot of money by selling their players, and they’ve been doing that for many seasons. Sometimes it even seems to me that they don’t really try to compete with Bayern.

Dortmund looks great on the table for now but not on the pitch yet.

This sounds too narrow-minded to me because it depends on the competition you are playing and I am sure that the top coaches would always prioritise performance over results in domestic league competitions. Nobody will prioritise performance over results when you can get knocked out from a national cup or the Champions League in the knockout stages, but performance is a much stronger indicator for you mid to long-term success in the league. If you are lucky and you win four matches in a row with lucky goals, what is the chance that this streak will prevail until the end of the season? What if you played much better, dominated the matches, but got two wins, one draw and one loss and you know your time will come and effort will pay off?

In domestic leagues, performance is what wins the title, not luck. In matches where knockout is all that couns, of course nobody would want to play well bu lose the match.

That is when you play for titles. When you defend yourself agains relegation, results count all the time. Every single point you can get as a team, no matter how, counts more than the way you played.
