Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[giammangiato]

Bayern with an easy win. They scored early and while Magdeburg managed to equalise, it was a one-sided show after that. Kane rested on the bench but Olise added 2 goals to his name, one from a penalty.
Leverkusen redeemed themselves a little bit after their humiliating loss to Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Union Berlin recorded the worst result of all Bundesliga clubs as they got beaten by Cologne 5-0. Union should probably prioritise escaping the relegation zone anyway.

I place too few bets in the Bundesliga, for no real reason, but this season I have to say that I have missed several opportunities.
Unfortunately, I have a limited weekly budget to place my bets (my personal rules and I'm not elastic at all).
This weekend I would like to focus more on the Bundesliga, particularly the Werder Bremen-Hoffenheim match, the Schalke 04-RB Leipzig match and the Leverkusen-Stuttgart match (maybe I'll place a multiple).
Starting tomorrow, I'll start analyzing the most affordable odds. I'll definitely take a risk on Schalke's Leipzig match. Bookmakers are more focused on Leipzig's victory, but Schalke's odds of around 3.70 are tempting.

The success Leverkusen had under Xabi Alonso has raised the expectations of the fans. But since he left, the team's performance has not been the same and you might agree with me. Especially as you said, losing key players and adapting to the new system should also be discussed. But the whole problem is not Alonso's departure or the key player changes. If you look at the matches before the Hoffenheim match, you will see that Leverkusen were undefeated in 5 consecutive matches. Even though they are in fourth place after 7 matches and have earned 13 points. It is not that they are playing too badly with Alonso leaving. Even in the Hoffenheim match, neither team could score at the beginning. At the last minute, Hoffenheim took the opportunity to score from a penalty and Hoffenheim secured their victory with just 20 minutes left. Leverkusen stopped Hoffenheim's attacks throughout the match.

let's say that football in the Bundesliga goes like all the other countries, you only win if you have the money to spend, this is clear, having at least the possibility of going and playing for the best position in the championship can only be done by those who deserve it and those who have a lot of money, so now, i don't know if we can say that Leverkuse still has the possibility of going very far.

I'm looking at today's German Cup match between Bayern Munich and Magdeburg. Obviously Bayern are the clear favorites, but I'm almost certain they'll play a rotated squad. And since they tend to concede quite a few goals even with their first lineup, I think there's a good chance they'll concede today as well. Especially considering that Magdeburg are pretty good going forward and often score quite a few goals. So I'm considering both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, with odds slightly above 2.0, I think it's a good bet. What do you think?

I wish you'd taken this risk, as all your speculation and predictions were accurate of the match. Who wouldn't have thought that Bayern would beat Magdeburg blue and black? That was a second tier category to them. However, a good odd must be attributed to Magdeburg scoring at least one goal against their senior, and that was what happened, and I can tell you that that single goal must be very precious to the underdog opponent because whether anyone likes it or not Bayern Munich still conceded a goal, so they are not entirely useless.

That was a value bet if you ask me, Bayern is in much greater form and I'm not surprised at the scoreline of 6:1. If over 2.5 was above 2 odds_{which I still doubt}, then over 4.5 should be above 3 odds. If I saw that match earlier, i could've added it to my betslip for yesterday. Watching the highlights, it was just very obvious the Bayern team was not in any way on the level of Magdeburg, the goal rained endlessly even without harry Kane, Diaz and Musiala

It's a good thing Magdeburg managed to score an early goal. They started well, and while they still had the energy, they had a chance to equalize and make it 1–1 early on. Once Bayern started scoring their second and third goals, it became obvious that Magdeburg had little hope of getting anything out of the match, and they began to play much worse. I think it's good that they scored early goal, because later, they might have already given up.

I guess you don't understand this other angle I'm coming from, I'm not talking of his attitude whether good or bad, my emphasis is on not having a PR to back him up, more like a hype group. If you watch, you will notice that no one of note really hyped Olise even though we know his really good at what he does. Hype has a way of projecting a player more which is the PR. Let me give you an instance. Last 2 seasons, Raphinha was the best player in Barcelona but despite this fact, he was nowhere close to top 3 in the Balloon d'Or race that season, why was hat, it's simply because Barcelona fans projected Yamal than Raphinha that's the PR I'm referring to not that his attitude is bad. Hype influences votes.

I quite understand what you mean, but the truth here remains that a good player doesn't require all that, hyping group didn't land eight Ballon d'Or for Lionel Messi neither did it give five to Christiano Ronaldo either. Sometimes it turns out to be that the voters chose to go where they consider as the best candidate in their own opinion, and we all can't question that.

Several years ago, in 2010 a lot of people questioned the credibility of the Ballon d'Or because Lionel Messi won it that year without winning the UCL or the World Cup, the voters were able to recognise excellence without paying attention to trophies (reasons we can't really know) and I really respect that, Lamine's time will come and I believe this will serve as a motivating factor for the young player to continue to work hard till he earns it.

Honestly, I have no problem with Kane winning, congratulations to him, but Olise finishing 9th is crazy to me, The guy was one of the best creators in the Bundesliga, had an incredible Champions League campaign and then broke the World Cup assist record. Like, what more was he supposed to do? I get that the Ballon d’Or considers the whole season, trophies and individual impact, but surely performances like that deserve more recognition. Maybe it’s the PR and media attention he lacks, because on the pitch, the guy speaks for himself. Mr Nonchalant deserved better man.

I think it is the media PR he lacks but then again his performance in the league and even the world cup was purely team based and that is actually good because football is a team based player which is who everyone would want on their team but just like you slightly pointed out, the Balon D'or rewards the individual with the most impressive season and performance so maybe that why Olise was 9th.
Congratulations to Kane btw, i know its been loong coming and he finally got it. I guess his consistency paid him back because imagine he gave up after being trophyless for years, life indeed is just funny sometimes. Now he has team trophy, individual trophy and not just any but the Ballon D'or itself.

[Ahli38]

Yes I think definitely they would, because conceding has always been on there match, if I'm not mistaken from those 13 matches they played, they conceded in 10 so actually I wouldn't doubt if they would also do the same this time, although I don't know if there would be a rotational squad because already the way they have always started there matches is the same way they would start on this match so perhaps a rotational squad will depends on the goals this first squad is going to score on the first half because if the game became tough for them they might use only there capable squad throughout the match.

Even with the rotation, they managed to score six goals, that was pretty much expected against such a weak opponent. And obviously, they needed to rotate the squad because they're playing Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga this weekend. The match against Dortmund will be important for them because both teams currently have the same number of points, and Bayern can't afford to lose this game, but draw can be an acceptable result. Then, just a few days later, they have an away match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. So I think it's possible that the match against Borussia Dortmund will be a more cautious affair, with relatively few goals.

Yes, you're right. Bayern Munich needs to rotate its players in the upcoming match against Dortmund by considering that they need to maintain the squad's fitness level in order to compete fiercely against Atlético Madrid in the upcoming Champions League phase. This packed schedule forces Bayern Munich to manage their squad’s physical condition to prevent a drop in performance from their key players. And these factors might slightly affect Bayern Munich’s performance when they face Dortmund. So far Bayern Munich has indeed dominated their previous matches against Dortmund. But we also need to note that in some of those previous matches Munich only managed to win by a one-goal margin, where it makes me not entirely confident that Bayern Munich will be able to win easily when they face Dortmund. I personally predict that Bayern Munich will simply aim to avoid a loss in this upcoming match so they can maintain their position at the top of the standings. And I also predict that a draw is a distinct possibility.

The uprising of Harry kane is something that motivates, I'm sure young players will look at him and have hope for the future. He has worked tirelessly from his days at Tottenham Hotspur and I don't know if he ever believed he would win the Balon d'Or one day. He had a great season and deserved the award.

Olise is a very selfless player and always playing with team spirit. He can win the Balon d'Or if he continues this way. But I see his selflessness and his nonchalant attitude to the media as one of the reasons he doesn't care about the media hype. I hope he gets to hype he deserves which will also influence his position this season if he gets nominated for the Balon d'Or which I think he will.

I just came across this now, and I wish I had seen this earlier yesterday before the match. I could have follow your predictions. Bayern Munich is a team that hardly plays without conceding a goal, but I didn’t expect them to concede in this game. Bayern Munich scored the first and Magdeburg equalized immediately, and after that Bayern Munich went to scored 5 more goals to win the match with the total score 6-1. The board needs to improve their defense, it prevents them from winning a top titles.

The squad Bayern will be using in this  game does not matter that much. Bayern Munich even with their B team can play against Magdeburg and win the game easily without any hassle. It may be the knockout phase of the competition but I still don’t have a doubt that Bayern Munich are going to face any form of challenge in this game. Freiburg is a better team than Magdeburg, Bayern facing some pressure towards the end of that game doesn’t mean we will be seeing the same thing in this game. Bayern Munich are the clear favorites and even Magdeburg will have it hard to even get a draw in this game.

Bayern Munich did not struggle to win the game, Magdeburg is a team that Bayern Munich can beat with their second squad, yet they field their first team against weak side. I expect them to rest their key players for the league games and the Champions League, this is the same method PSG are using to win the Champions League every season.

For a team that is weak as that to score a goal against their giant is quite a privilege to them no doubt, and how they could even secure a goal is still what baffles me, and truth be told, I was expecting more goals from Bayern Munich no lies I was expecting to see like ten goals upward, smiles, but let's talk about that goal they scored, does it mean that Bayern Munich defense is really that weak? Because I have been observing them in the Germain Bundesliga, they always concede more goals than expected, I really think Vincent Kompany should do something about it.

[jahead]

After Bremen sadly blew it in the DFB-Pokal in the absolute last second  thanks again to Füllkrug for giving us that brief glimmer of victory we almost grabbed... the next match is at home game against Hoffenheim on Saturday. Right now, Bremen is in 6th place, and I am honestly pretty happy that we managed to get a solid 12 points from 7 matches. That sets a great mood for the Hoffenheim game, so let’s see what kind of magic happens at the Weser on Saturday... Forza SVW!!

Borussia Dortumind is playing excellent football and realizes that these players can go very far, the club and the coach are pushing a lot, this makes me understand that most likely this year they can also challenge Bayern Munich to try to win the championship.

Vincent Kompany might likely not put too much on the derby in as much as it also matters, He will probably have some restraints when it comes to the lineup. Some players will be rotated and some will only come from the bench when things don't go as planned because he will definitely have the match against Atletico in the UCL at heart. Dortmund on the other hand, has no other distraction beyond the domestic league, so they will give it all because this will be considered their biggest gae of the season so far.

[Adbitco]

Olise AKA Mr Nonchalant finished 9th in the just concluded Ballon d'Or rankings, I don't have any problems with the winner, Harry kane, a big congratulations to him for winning the award but something just doesn't sit right well with me on the position he ended. Is it because he doesn't talk or doesn't have any one to push his PR in front of us all, but I'd that really necessary? I thought the award is based on your performance for a whole season. That 9th position is well below standards because Olise had an incredible season and he also had a wonderful WC outing. In his first WC he broke the assists records of the WC. Seriously, Olise shouldn't be raking 9th in that award in my opinion.

What good is the 9th position to someone who didn't win the Ballon d'Or, Olise will care as long as he didn't win the award. Olise doesn't make the top five in my judgement. Every player's dream is to win the Ballon d'Or, not to finish anything less. The Ballon d'Or ranking is fair to me, or probably swapping Dembele's ranking for Olise. The players on the list are the ones we expect to see, there was less sentiment.

Michael Olise deserves to be in top 5 candidate for the Balon D'OR this year because he had an amazing season with Bayern Munich and also with France national team. Tell me a better assister than Michael Olise last season? He was Bayern Munich best player and also bundlesliga best player, top assister in UEFEA Champions League, in the world cup and also in the Bundesliga. All these stats did put him at 9t, really? Let's be serious because no way the frenchman should be ranked 9th not after making good entries last season and having a stellar performance.

In my opinion, the players who are between 1 and 5 on the list of Ballon d'Or winners are more deserving than Olise. Messi's performance was very extraordinary, especially during the World Cup, he performed very well and performed very well for his club. Many people think that Messi's chances of winning the Ballon d'Or were much higher at the moment because of this performance of Messi. There is a lot of difference between the games of Rodri and Olise. Although Olise is much better in terms of attack and assists, but if we look at Rodri's style of play, I think Rodri is much better. Rodri's job is not only to attack but also to block the opponent's attack and create opportunities for attack.

If Messi had a good WC and you are using that to judge both he and Olise season, now I ask you, didn't Olise had an incredible WC? Do you know what it means for a player to feature in his first ever WC and break the assists records of all time in a single edition? Let's talk about the league, people are quick to talk about the Bundesliga and French League as Farmers league, so I ask you, between Bundesliga and MLS which is better? You want to compare his contributions to the Bayern Munich with that of Inter Miami? Olise has a way better season than Messi, I can imagine if it was Messi that had Olise kind of performance in the league and WC, the organisers would have found a way to make sure Messi wins the Balloon d'Or.

Winning this match is crucial not only to defeat a rival in Germany and push them further back in the race, but also to bolster their own standing and reputation. That is why I expect them to play at their absolute best against Dortmund and come away with a win.

I get where you are heading to most especially with Bayern having an important Champions League match against Atletico coming up and looking at the way things are going Kompany must have to manage his players carefully and make sure they are more ready than ever but i to me don’t think he will take the derby lightly because matches like this are also important for Bayern reputation, tho i dont know what on his mind but only time will tell we will see how it goes our one is to watch and support from our houses.

Matches against Borussia Dortmund have always been significant for Bayern. Despite a challenging upcoming Champions League fixture, Bayern Munich will strive to perform at their best. Playing on home turf and in front of their own fans, they will aim to secure all three points to gain a major advantage in the German league. Following this, they will head into their Champions League encounter a difficult away match that will take place in Spain.

This match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund is not just a fight for 3 points but a fight for supremacy for Bayern Munich because they will play to maintain their tradition. So they will take the field with the best XI of their team. Bayern should take care of their defense a little before the match. In my opinion, their defense is still weak so if the defense is weak, the opponent will try to play more aggressively and Dortmund will not want to miss this opportunity. If Bayern strengthens their defense a little more, they will return home victorious.

To be honest, Dortmund cannot beat Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is a very strong team, and the match will be played at the Allianz Arena. Leveraging this advantage, Bayern Munich will field a solid lineup and secure all three points. In my view, the outcome in terms of who will take the three points is already clear. As for Dortmund, the best they can hope for is a draw.

They're both unbeaten so they'll be fighting to maintain the consistency by either drawing or winning. Bayern Munich would take it very seriously cause they won't want to leave the first position but maintain it for very long to increase chances of winning again, Dortmund too might give same energy but Bayern Munich is my preferred choice.

You're right about Bayerns defense, it’s their weak link which is why they do concede against smaller team even thougb they win, i expect them to be more careful when they meet Dortmund.

Bayern Munich have reclaim all rights to owning Bundesliga and there's absolutely no way any team can challenge them. Even Borrusia Dortmund that was seen as one of the tougher sider to compete against Bayern Munich have folded. One really need to start learning the consistency that comes from Bayern Munich because in the past decades, they've dominated everything and won it without having to compete with minimal points.

Borrusia Dortmund are no longer fitting into the competing space with Bayern Munich, now they've turn their backs and start making profits else where by seeking rare gems in the club and selling them to top European sides. This is how Dortmund manage to compete and stay safer with the profits they generate.
