Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

[Pablo-wood]

They are playing a good football now, but they have to show this performance when they’re playing bigger opponents, they have the tendency to always perform badly against bigger opponents, which I think they should have to up their game now, show this same performance they had against Augsburg against bigger opponents, Augsburg are playing a terrible football this season, this clubs really lacks investment, so it was meant to be a comfortable for Leipzig, But I must admit Leipzig were unlucky to have lost the game against Manchester City in the Champions League, they showed a real fight.

What's the point of improving when facing bigger teams? I mean, why should Leipzig keep improving their performance when, no matter what they do, they can never realistically compete with Bayern? Besides, the financial gap already explains everything. Their squad depth is completely different, so expecting Leipzig to compete with a big club is pretty pointless.

Bayern might be a big team but Leipzig can build enough motivation to challenge them for a possible win. No team is immune to losses it takes determination, coordination and team work to keep a club moving. If Leipzig are bent on improving they can regardless of financial constraint. Even against City in the Champions League Leipzig did put an incredible fight, my most amazing was that of Antonio Nusa. There is hope for them if they keep up the improvement .

Manuel Neuer has sustained a partial tendon tear in his right foot, Bayern confirm.

The goalkeeper will not be back before January.
Fabrizio Romano



A partial tendon tear is quite a serious injury and may require a long recovery period. Considering that Neuer is now 40 and will turn 41 next March, I think this is a clear indication that he may be approaching the end of his career. Obviously, Urbig is set to become the first choice goalkeeper now, but Bayern should already be thinking about signing a good, reliable backup goalkeeper.

The current Bundesliga points table looks competitive. If this competition lasts until the end of the season, then we will definitely be able to enjoy the Bundesliga.

Sorry, I don't mean that I consider other teams weaker than Bayern. But even though Dortmund are currently level on points with Bayern, Bayern still have a stronger squad and find it easier to win games. So I still don't think the bundesliga is very competitive. However, after reading someone's post here saying Manuel Neuer is injured, it got me wondering whether Bayern can still dominate the league and keep the bundesliga uncompetitive. Losing their best goalkeeper could also put extra pressure on Bayern's midfield.

Leipzig gave Manchester City a very tough fight in the UCL. City managed to scrape a win in that match. Leipzig this season have deadly attackers. Nusa and one other lad.

If Bayern is not careful, this will be the match where the absence of their injured players will result in their loss or a draw. I trust Leipzig not to have a bad match day.

I don’t see Leipzig having a chance to compete for the Bundesliga title. We know the Bundesliga is dominated by only a few teams. Leipzig being able to maintain a top 4 position is already good. I always hope that teams develop to become stronger in the Bundesliga. That way the competition will be more interesting. But for now, we haven’t seen that. Instead, we are seeing a decline in performance from teams that used to be quite strong.

Even though Munich's performance right now is a bit unstable, I don't think Leipzig has a high enough chance of winning the Bundesliga trophy.. Even Dortmund, who's currently in 2nd place, isn't guaranteed to get the trophy, let alone Leipzig.. Being in 4th place is already more than enough, and they should probably focus on maintaining that because over the past few seasons they've consistently been in the Champions League zone, and if they can finish this season staying in that zone, it will still be good for the development of their team.

I don’t think Neuer’s absence will significantly affect Bayern’s results, as they have already played many matches this season with Urbig in goal. The most important thing is that the backup goalkeeper doesn’t get injured too, if that were to happen, things could take a turn for the worse for Bayern. Bayern has always prioritized attack over defense, certainly that’s how things have played out under Kompany. It’s also true that Bayern’s squad is much stronger than those of the other Bundesliga teams, including Borussia Dortmund.

I think precisely because Leipzig succeeded in the Champions League zone, they have to be bolder in investing in the club. This season might not be as smooth as last season for Leipzig. To be able to compete in the Bundesliga as well as the Champions League, they need to make a lot of improvements. This cannot be achieved just by maintaining the team's current condition. I don't know whether they are quite satisfied with the results achieved so far, or whether they are indeed facing difficulties in certain aspects.

The bundesliga this year seems to be largely dominated by these two teams, one is borussia who i sincerely hope will finally win and the other is the usual bayern munich who never misses a beat as always, but the competition is slowly moving to other teams too and they too can have their say in the european championships too.

It’s unfortunate for Neuer, but in my view, it’s not a major issue for Bayern. Neuer hasn’t performed above an average level for a long time, this season, playing for a team as strong as Bayern, he is conceding an average of one goal per game - both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. Bayern’s management has dragged its feet on replacing him, perhaps an injury will actually prompt a resolution to this issue. Bayern currently has a squad that is close to ideal, having a goalkeeper of a matching caliber would be a huge help to them.

One can never cheat nature, as the eagle and also the lion. I believe it is high time he hangs his boot. He has done too much for Bayern Munich and German national team, all of these injuries he has picked in the past few months can also tell about the state of his health.

What about the case of Jamal Musiala, I have heard and read he has a disease which will affect his health and that he will not be able to play the same way he did before. I feel pity for him,  and thanks to Bayern Munich for staying by him during this difficult situations he is going through.

Honestly, you are underestimating Leipzig's chances. Bayern are definitely a strong team. But Leipzig currently have 18 points from 9 games, which is only 3 points behind Bayern. I think they have enough reasons to improve even though they have a tough competition with Bayern Munich. Many people think that the title is the only goal. But I think that if a team can perform well, then they can strengthen their position, secure a place in the Champions League and participate in bigger competitions in the future. Moreover, if you look at the current points table, you will see that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are ahead with 21 points, but Leipzig is close to them with 18 points. Seeing this, I don't think that they can be eliminated from the title race.

It seems Leipzig's management has no intention at all of strengthening squad. In this transfer window, this club  earned more than 160 million euros just by selling Diomande and Openda. On the other hand, they did not even spend  80 million on buying player.  RB Leipzig is owned by the Australian company Red Bull. Financially they are not weak at all.

This season, Leipzig is playing in a very busy schedule. To keep their performance stable, they should have strengthened the squad further. Instead, by selling one of their best forward, they have become even weaker. Although the team's performance has been little stable so far, it will eventually become difficult for them to secure any spot in the top  4, imo

Neuer had been an exceptional goalkeeper wining golden gloves in 2014 world cup and 5 times IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper but his age was slowly showing up. I too think its time Bayern looks for his alternative. He made an record of oldest player playing with Bayern Munich.
Jonas Urbig is a keeper with great potential, he did conceded a late game goal in the last game after replacing Neuer but he has potential if developed the right way. With the absence of Neuer, he'll get enough exposure and experience but Bayern couldn't just experiment for a long time on the league, if Urbig seems incapable, they might quickly need to find a replacement.

As Bayern Munich is a strong team, so it is natural that they will have more dominance. If they want to challenge Bayern, other teams will have to increase their strength. They will have to recruit good players and maintain consistent performance throughout the season. RB Leipzig and Dortmund have a good chance of winning the Bundesliga. Both teams have good players and are competing with the top teams. However, they need to be more consistent. They cannot afford to drop points, especially in important matches. Dortmund has the ability to win the title but they need to reduce their mistakes. On the other hand, Leipzig can prove their worth at any time by playing better. If other teams can also fix their mistakes quickly, the league competition will be more interesting. And ultimately, the title race will be more exciting.

The current Bundesliga points table looks competitive. If this competition lasts until the end of the season, then we will definitely be able to enjoy the Bundesliga. I especially want to see Dortmund compete until the end of the season. But unfortunately, the Bundesliga teams are very weak in consistency. No team can compete with Bayern Munich until the end of the season. I expect a surprise from Dortmund this season.

Last season, Borussia Dortmund were just below Bayern Munich, they were good enough, but yes, in the end they lost to consistency, and at the end of the league they were 16 points behind Bayern, and that shows how strong Bayern Munich really is. And as always, it will be the same this season, Bayern are definitely the strongest contenders for the title, and it is highly likely that they will be. There have been 9 matches so far, and in these 9 matches Borussia Dortmund have fought equally with Bayern, both of them currently have 21 points, Bayern is at the top. I don't think Borussia Dortmund can do much different this season, as always I am confident in Bayern, and Dortmund may start to fall further behind in terms of points after some time, and as always there will be a big gap of points between them.

The competition has already moved beyond one or two teams being the dominant force in the league, Bayern Leverkuson wonthe league with Bayern and Dortmund being in form and Leipzig has always being a torn in every other team's  backside so the statement is not doing justice to the current state of the league. They are not slowly moving towards a more competitive level but already there since the past few years.

A partial tendon tear is quite a serious injury and may require a long recovery period.

Obviously, Urbig is set to become the first choice goalkeeper now, but Bayern should already be thinking about signing a good, reliable backup goalkeeper.

So unfortunate that such injury might make Bayern Munich replace him as first choice faster than expected cause this is a reoccurring injury so they'll need someone younger, it might or rather will force them to enter the market by January for a temporary replacement atleast, cause even if he returns he won't be introduced back into the team immediately.
 On the other hands, this is a big opportunity for Jonas Urbig, his performance would determine if Bayern Munich would search the market for a first choice replacement or allow his continue then make him the first choice when after Manuel Neuer resigns.

Don’t you think it’s time for this old man to retire from football? He has served Bayern Munich for long, he will remain among the best goalkeeper of all time because he has been in his best for more than one decade and still playing, he is a true definition of a legend because he has a lot of memories for us to always watch and remember because he is a good goalkeeper that every team was willing to have.

Bayern Munich needs to honor him really well whenever he deceives to retire from football, and they should be looking for a better replacement before he finally go.

Manuel Neuer is due for retirement. He has paid his due and age is not on his side, That is the reason for these types of injuries. Bayern Munich should be thinking about post Nuer era because that will do them a very good thing. They should start looking for a suitable goal keeper that can fill the space because Manuel Neuer is one goal keeper that will be very hard to replace. Manuel Neuer should retire and face other areas of life and invest the money that he has made.

[lodocus]

This was already Neuer’s final season. It will be difficult for him to return from injury. It’s unlikely he’ll get back into shape and play for the rest of the season after sitting out for 2-3 months.
Jonas Urbig is taking over in goal. A few names are also starting to surface for a new goalkeeper signing. Baumann from Hoffenheim, Leno and Karius are among the candidates. Bayern plans to keep Urbig as the starting goalkeeper and sign an experienced backup. I think that makes the most sense, because signing a top-class goalkeeper during the mid-season is almost impossible. They might consider a new signing in the summer depending on Urbig’s performance.
