Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[jahead]

[...]
Werder Bremen will not have an easy match. I believe a draw is the most likely outcome here. Both teams tend to keep their defensive and midfield blocks close together, which will lead to a controlled game as they both look to secure points. A point apiece would not be a bad result for either side. While Mainz might appear slightly closer to taking all three points aided by the support of their home it is impossible to say for sure. Predicting a winner is genuinely difficult as I mentioned, a draw is the more probable outcome.

Well, the odds speak sadly a very clear language, namely that Mainz will win and, judging by the odds, quite safely... well, lets leave the odds to the players and assume that the so-called "analysts" understand numbers better than football    then Werder will win pretty safely...   I wonder what exact algorithms look like, what bookmakers use to make these odds, and which indicators flow into them...

If things were different, we might see a more exciting Bundesliga. As it stands, we all know that Bayern Munich is effectively the champion before the season even begins what we’re really watching is just the second half of the Bundesliga season. A few years ago, Bayer Leverkusen managed to disrupt this status quo and win the title, but they couldn’t repeat that feat the following year. For Bayern Munich, the championship is a near-permanent fixture. It’s already clear which team will be crowned Bundesliga champion once again. Unless Borussia Dortmund strengthens its squad financially, this pattern will continue.

Borussia Dortmund is a really big disgrace to the Bundesliga in my opinion, because it has being over 14 years since they last secured the trophy, considering how strong enough they are to stand up as a contender for the trophy. They are the only team in the Bundesliga that could stop Bayern but they failed time without number, and that makes the Bundesliga less exciting as we all know what the end would be even before it starts.

Leverkusen stopped that once, quite not what we expected but that was a big feat for them at that level. Dortmund are not looking like Champions this season too, it's now a series of reoccurring champion record without any surprises, no team can stop Bayern Munich.

It’s going to be difficult for any other team to win the league at the expense of Bayern Munich and even if any of them should win it someday it will require something extraordinary for them to achieve it just like Leverkusen did it 4 or 3 seasons ago, they have to win it unbeaten if not Bayern Munich will always find a way to win it at the end of the day. Bayern attracts even the best players from Dortmund and Leverkusen, they barely keep hold of their best players, after 2 or 3 seasons they usually leave their club to bigger team outside that’s if Bayern Munich wasn’t interested in them in the first place.

I really didn't think Leipzig would do so badly. It was something I never thought could happen to them. Bayern completely crushed their morale. It won't be easy to recover from that defeat on their feet, because their reputation will be shattered.

What Leipzig needs to do is keep moving forward, keep their heads held high, and work on improving all those mistakes, because 6 goals is a lot. What Leipzig needs to do now is slow down the tide of that defeat; it won't be easy.

I think you may be the one here being worried about this defeat. Players are used to losing games, so it's not entirely a new thing, and I believe they'll be focusing on their future games until we hear comments from Leipzig manager regarding how this game has affected them or we see how the defeat is going to affect their form and performance going forward. That's only when we can tell. Remember, you can't always win all your games, especially when it involves playing with a big team like Bayern Munich.

If you really look at the history of matches between these two teams, Bayern don't have any plan to destroy Leipzig's morale or reputation. But this kind of result has happened quite often when these two teams face each other. Just look at these results.

Leipzig vs Bayern 1-5
Bayern vs Leipzig 6-0
Bayern vs Leipzig 5-1

So there's no need to worry too much about Leipzig's morale or reputation because they're already used to getting results like these.

Vincent Kompany rushed to hospital after ‘collapsing’ at the Bayern training ground just days before the Arsenal clash.

Before the Arsenal game, there was a report that Vincent Kompany was suffering from a viral infection caused by an injury he has on his leg.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bayern Munich manager and ex-Burnley manager.

This is really sad! I was not aware of this at all, I did not watch the match against Arsenal so I was not aware of Vincent Kompany's absence in that match. This will definitely affect the Bayern Munich team and there will be a change in performance.

I wish him well, I hope he recovers quickly and gets back on the field with Bayern Munich. If I am not mistaken, the assistant coach was given the responsibility of managing the match against Arsenal. The assistant coach may also perform this role in the upcoming matches, so I think it is normal for the performance to change. Last season we heard some people say that with the team Bayern Munich has, it is possible to perform well without a manager. This season we will now have proof of this with the same team.

Bayern Munich are the kind of club that love dominating and I agree with you that I don't see any other person winning the league except them and for this reasons I doubt of there is any club to be able to win the title this season, it's going to be a very difficult one, and not that there won't be other clubs that will not win but for now bayern Munich is still the one club to win the title this season and not just this title but they have eyes for the Champions League just that winning the trophy this season is already out of it.

Is not like its that difficult to win the Bundesliga but other clubs need to also have players that have the same standard with Bayern Munich that way they can easily win, so talented players are needed in the equation when you have that then the competition gives better hope. Even with what Dortmund have been playing I know they will find it hard to win the Bundesliga for now because they are finding it hard to be consistent. And Leverkusen are even trying there best ateast they won it once and they are doing all they can if they will be able to win again.

The Bundesliga always end in Bayern Munich favor. Other teams don’t spend much money on players, and they lack the strength to compete for the league title. If we want to see other teams fight and win the league, they need to start signing quality players. They don’t have the money to get top players like Bayern Munich, while Dortmund in old days would sell their players who could help them fight for the league title.

Every player at a small club always willing to leave when a bigger opportunity comes from another club. Players always prefer a club that play in the Champions League every season, and Bayern Munich is a team that play in the tournament every season. Some people think Dortmund will do the same thing this season to go for the title, but based on what we are seeing from them, it’s going to be difficult to stop Bayern Munich.

Vincet Kompany was present in that Bayern Munich match against Arsenal. I think he isn't fit to lead the lines but wanted to because Arsenal is a strong team to play against. Without Kompany his team might have lost to Arsenal. To avoid losing, he proved strong to start at the line. However, Kompany was unable to stand for a long time on the line. Often time he sits down.

We wish him quick recovery although the cause of his collapse have not been released yet but the club have released an official statement about Vicent Kompany being stable and currently in the hospital where he's been taken good care of. What could have possibly become the problem of the Belgian? He's a professional coach and Bayern Munich do needs him presently for everything because he's the man behind the strategies and winning games.

It's half time already, and both Stuttgart vs Borussia are playing a draw, while both teams have scored a single goal each. And judging from the performce of the first half, i have a strong feeeling that Stuttgart stand a better chance of winning tonight's game, since they are currently dominating the game with over 64%, despite Borussia having the most ball on target. And even from previous performance, Stuttgart have always had the most game advantage of winning, and that is likely to repeat itself tonight too.

[Rhow]

Perhaps they don’t have such plans in the long run. Even though Dortmund has sold many players for high fees, they somehow never manage to reach the level of Bayern Munich. I believe the differences in the clubs' decision-making processes play a role in this. I would have expected Dortmund to establish itself as the second-strongest team in the Bundesliga and close the gap on Bayern Munich’s level of quality.

I don't think it is just about bad decisions, but about how these markets work these days. Every top player, everyone, will leave clubs like Dortmund to make it to Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Manchester City and so on and so forth. Haaland would have never signed a contract if he didn't have the possibility to leave. Very strong players who developed into stars in Dortmund will leave no matter what (Bellingham, Lewandowski). There is nothing Dortmund can do about this. They can't offer the same conditions as the top five in Europe, which means players will leave them as soon as it makes sense for them.

If things were different, we might see a more exciting Bundesliga. As it stands, we all know that Bayern Munich is effectively the champion before the season even begins what we’re really watching is just the second half of the Bundesliga season. A few years ago, Bayer Leverkusen managed to disrupt this status quo and win the title, but they couldn’t repeat that feat the following year. For Bayern Munich, the championship is a near-permanent fixture. It’s already clear which team will be crowned Bundesliga champion once again. Unless Borussia Dortmund strengthens its squad financially, this pattern will continue.

You decided so quickly that Bayern will be champions? Although your words are not completely unfounded. Especially since their squad depth and ability to retain good players every season is greater than many other Bundesliga clubs. Still, it seems strange to me to say so confidently so quickly. You should look at the points table. Bayern and Borussia Dortmund have both played 6 matches and both of them have 14 points. Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen are also only one point behind. That is why I want to say that the fight for the title is not over yet. So we should wait before making any conclusions. I am not saying that Bayern's attack is weaker than Dortmund, but rather that Bayern's attack is more effective. Bayern has probably scored 22 goals in their 6 matches, while Dortmund has only scored 11 goals. The funny thing is that Dortmund has only conceded 4 goals, while Bayern has conceded 5 goals. In other words, although Bayern is ahead in attack, Dortmund is not in a bad position in defensive statistics.

I wish Vincent Kompany quick recovery because the teams needs him back, Bayern needs him back and the entire board need him to be active with the boys. He is not going be on the touch line in their next game because of this his health issue but I believe their medical units will do everything possible to ensure he comes back fast as possible and in good condition.

Arsenal played Bayern in the champions league the other night, and he wasn't on the touch line to support his boys, I don't know whether it was related to his health or it wasn't. The game ended in a draw as both teams went home with one point each, which made it a balanced match. We will be hoping the time he's going to be out won't be for a period of more than one week.

Other teams are not really giving Bayern Munich much competition, and that is why they always find it difficult to win the Bundesliga title. If other teams are truly ready to challenge Bayern Munich, they need to spend money to sign great players. Gradually, they will be able to build better squads that can compete with Bayern Munich.However, instead of buying great players, they would rather sell their best players. How can they possibly win when Bayern Munich continues to strengthen their squad?Even Bayer Leverkusen, who won the title, benefited from the fact that Bayern Munich was facing some challenges that season. Otherwise, Bayern Munich would most likely have won it, despite Leverkusen's incredible performance that season because it may be possible that if Bayern Munich in good form they will not able to win Bayern Munich

I agree with SOKO, other clubs can't use teams that are underperforming to challenge Bayern in the Bundles Liga. If they really want to compete for the title then they have to spend good money to buy quality players and also scout for good managers that can utilise the talents to it's maximum capacity. Bayern keeps building and growing it's team despite having a formidable one. There no magic to this thing, it will only cost other clubs fortune but from the way things are going no other club wants to spend to boast their team standard.

But look at the score, the match is going completely the opposite way, Mönchengladbach is a team that has not yet won a match, they are a very weak team, but how are they performing today? The match is going on for 70 minutes and now the score is 3-1, Borussia scored two more goals in the second half at 51 minutes and 66 minutes, VfB Stuttgart cannot be expected to lose against such a team. Although VfB Stuttgart has more possession of the ball, but Borussia's counterattack is much stronger, now it is difficult to turn the result of the match from this stage, Borussia's defense looks very strong, now it no longer seems that VfB Stuttgart will be able to win this match, Borussia could not even draw in their previous 6 matches, rather they have lost in all 6 matches and this will be their first winning match in the league.

This is really sad! I was not aware of this at all, I did not watch the match against Arsenal so I was not aware of Vincent Kompany's absence in that match. This will definitely affect the Bayern Munich team and there will be a change in performance.

The assistant coach taking over isn't bringing new tactics to the team, the players will play according to Kompany tactics they've been training with, i don't expect their performance to be affected in any way, if the coach doesn't return before the next match, everything will be okay, and Bayern don't have to worry.

I understand passion when it comes to sports, but health is always important, i wish him a quick recovery and return to his job.

The Man was just playing the card that it is better to be safe than sorry. He chose to be cautious, even though his body later chose otherwise. And I don't really blame him that much because as a coach, he feels responsible for the team, which is why he dragged himself to the touchline for the Arsenal game regardless of the discomfort and he probably felt his presence was worth more than his recommended rest.

I'm not aware of his situation but i was confused cause i know i saw Kompany in the match against Arsenal, i respect him for his decision, he put the team first before his health just to motivate his players to win. Glad the players reciprocated a win, cause it would've been disappointing if they lost after he attended that match instead of rest and receiving medical care.

 I trust that the management would assign the best doctots to give him proper medical care for a quicker recovery, just researched to discover that he didn't attend two match sessions and the pre-match press conference was done by his assistant as advised by the doctor

[jahead]

Uff, crazy story about Kompany. According to bild.de (I wouldn't even call that a newspaper), his current condition is stable and the article is from 10:30 PM. They definitely mention some mysterious viral infection, saying he is been weakened by a severe virus since last week, which also led to hip problems, pain walking up stairs, and trouble standing. Okay, what kind of infection is that supposed to be?  Even though Bayern Munich is garbage, I hope he gets back on his feet and healthy quickly! Fingers crossed.

[LUCKMCFLY]

No, it is not just the "financial excuse" as you called it. I am not challenging that term because yes, money hasn't always won. But in the case of Bayern, many things play hand in hand. They have got the advantage and now they are able to pay the salaries that players like Olise or Kane demand. Other clubs in the Bundesliga can't do that, while Bayern can do it for five or six players at the same time. I think that makes a difference again. It wasn't too long ago that Dortmund was in the UCL final, did it change anything? No. They just can't retain a top team in the long run, financially.

Well, we have to admit that money definitely makes things easier. What you're saying is very true—Bayern has the financial muscle to pay Olise a massive salary.

However, I remember hearing on El Chiringuito that Olise specifically wanted a release clause in his contract reserved for Real Madrid. If true, that opens the door for him to take the next big step in his career down the road. For now, we'll have to wait and see. As long as Bayern keeps competing at the top and winning titles, I think he'll be less inclined to push for a move anytime soon.
