German Bundesliga Season 22/23 - Discussion & Prediction Thread

[seek3r]

Too bad buddy. What are you picks for the next matchday? I guess you're betting again, right?

RB Leipzig vs. VfB Stuttgart tomorrow X @4.80 sounds pretty interesting too me. As inconsistent as Leipzig has performed so far, I think the game could well end in a draw.

I don't really know. The odds are really tempting but not realistic for me at the moment. There was a draw in the first half of this season (1:1) but with the current performance I see RB Leipzig clearly ahead.
Maybe they just had a small dip in their form but the table should not be ignored. They need the win to stay in front and Stuttgart is not in a good position at the moment.

The direct comparison is also clear:




Taking all this into account, I find the odds of @ 1.42 on Leipzig much more interesting.

You're right, pretty tempting and that's why I just placed my bet, haha. I know a RB win is much more realistic, but @4.8 draw just sounded too good.  

And to be serious: It's pretty unlikely, but IMHO Stuttgart will do everything not to slip into the relegation spots. That's why points are urgently needed and they will get one important point against Leipzig. Pretty sure, haha.  


In addition, there are a few more games at the weekend, let's see whats on the table:

Cheers to an exciting Bundesliga weekend. Let's see if my FC Bayern can finally win again.

Good luck u degen! Multi-bet with a small bet size?
I hope you are right this time, didnt place any bets the last weeks. Stuttgart need to get as much points as possible for now so maybe u are good! 

Btw..
Which bookies are u using? Looking for a new one who is accepting cryptos. Was using stake before but had some hard times/problems with placing bets and there are weird odd jumps sometimes.

after yesterday's city-derby defeat of hertha vs. union, the then self-proclaimed 'big-city-club' again falls into chaos and thus does not come to calm. because yesterday the sports director Fredi Bobic was sacked, the man who should actually build up hertha (just like back then with frankfurt) again step by step and bring a lot of stability.
hertha currently occupies the 17th place in the table and is in the midst of the relegation battle...

How well Union Berlin are playing after the break, they won all the games and took full advantage of Bayern draws, now they are separated by only one point.

But something incomprehensible is happening with Bayern, I can’t say that they play badly, their game is quite good, but the final stage of the attack fails. I read an interview with Oliver Kahn, he said that in this break the players were given a lot of time to rest, maybe part of the reason is that they need some time to get in shape. He was also dissatisfied with Gnabry's trip to Paris for a fashion show, reproaching him for the fact that from difficult times for the team you need to be focused on the result.

It is unusual to see such a series of draws from Bayern (and surprisingly, everyone is like a blueprint with the same score 1:1). I hope that in the cup match with Mainz the situation will change, for Bayern the odds 1.47 and in the match with Wolfsburg for Bayern the odds 1.59 I will make a multibet for Bayern to win in these matches, the odds are 2.33

Bayern Munich is in talks to sign Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo who has asked to leave the club this month due to frustration with his role. Pep Guardiola is willing to grant Cancelo's wish and is not seeking a replacement. Bayern Munich is exploring a loan deal with a €70m option to buy the player permanently.

Do you believe Cancelo's arrival at Bayern Munich will help the club's ranks?

I dont know. Cannot see a big impact for Bayern right now which is to be triggered by Cancelo. But maybe the defense will be stabilized a bit by that.
So far, however, there has only been talk of a loan with an option to buy or nah?

I'm surprised that the really fat transfer hasn't been talked about yet... Isco to Union Berlin!
That would be really spectacular and a bit surreal for me :-D This morning the medical check should definitely take place according to some newspaper here in Germany.

 I never believed that Cancelo would leave the Citizens after been the best left back despite the fact that he's not a Left footed player, covering the left side of the defense when they had no left back and he created so many chances scoring goals from his position and now they sent him on loan? Is like both Pep and Cancelo are having some kind of bad relationship because I don't see why you'd loan one of your best, something fishy is going on in that locker room of Man City. And Cancelo blocking Man City on I.G, not that sure he's going to come back.

 Talking about the champion of the German league with the there very poor form, losing every single point to teams they're suppose to smash and getting all 3pts and now going to get Cancelo isn't going to change anything. IMO Cancelo will only add up to the number of players in the team but nothing to boost their style of play.

today and tomorrow the first 4 matches in the dfb cup eighth finals will take place.
in paderborn and in mainz there might be a surprise. in the other two games any result is possible

In a Bitcoin forum this is probably the wrong answer, but I mainly use Bwin & Tipico, haha. Currently, if I had to pick a Bitcoin bookie, it would probably be Sportsbet. I have placed several bets here in the past and never had any problems.

Fixed your post: Union's transfer disaster with Isco.

The German newspaper Bild just reported that the Union-Isco deal fell through at the last minute after all. WTF.

It looks like Isco is already in Berlin and also passed the medical check earlier today. However, it looks like he is asking for a much higher salary than previously agreed with Union. Since no agreement could be reached in this way, Union has now dropped the transfer. What a story, LOL.

There should be more news in a minute, so let's see what else comes to light.

Haha yeah. Just got the push notifciation aswell on my mobile.
Couldnt believe my eyes.. for the 2nd time! It smells like April Fools day!!!

First time was when they reported that this deal would happen and now that it has been canceled. Looks like Isco and/or his manager gambled a bit to high. Even if I would have loved to see this transfer, everything speaks for Union Berlin and their politics.
It is and will remain as an traditional club that simply remains true to its line.. that really has to be respected.

Joao Cancelo   Manchester City    > > FC.Bayern München

This is a pretty sick one, if you ask me. Particularly since Benjamin Pavard has long been in talks with a transfer abroad and FC Bayern was thus faced with the difficult question of signing a new full-back. But this problem is now off the table with the signing of Joao Cancelo. In my opinion, Cancelo is one of the best fullbacks in the world and I'm sure he will make Bayern's squad even stronger. Actually as a fan I am pretty hyped, haha.

And even if it is currently "only" a loan with an option to buy for €70m, I'm sure that Bayern will still cleverly renegotiate here and you can certainly still push the price a bit.


In your list, however, you forgot an interesting transfer: The 28 year old midfielder from FC Bayern Marcel Sabitzer leaves FC Bayern for a loan until the end of the season to Manchester United. Both clubs have also already announced the transfer. For FC Bayern, of course, this is a loss - but in my opinion a bearable one. Bayern's midfield is still strong without Sabitzer and if you really need more players at the end of the season, you end the loan and Sabitzer comes back (but I doubt that, since we also have Laimer coming to Bayern next summer).

The German newspaper Bild has more news on the transfer: Sabitzer verlässt die Bayern

tsg hoffenheim has sacked its coach André Breitenreiter. after the 2-5 away defeat in bochum and the current negative trend of 9 games without a win (2 draws and 7 defeats), this step was only a matter of time. AB only took over this club as coach in the summer and has unfortunately not been able to record any positive results with this squad. as a result, tsg hoffenheim now occupies 14th place and is only 3 points ahead of 16th place.

Yea, but to be honest it was pretty obvious that Breitenreiter would be sacked after this disappointing 2:5 defeat against Bochum on the weekend. However, it's the right decision, IMHO.

Hoffenheim's results have not been good for a long time and it really didn't seem as if Breitenreiter could turn things around again. I am really excited to see who will be the new coach. There are already a few names floating around as possible replacements: Ralph Hasenhüttl, Adi Hütter or Domenico Tedesco. I think all three of them can do the job, but who will? We'll probably find out in a few days.

Meanwhile, the Bundesliga continues with the following matches scheduled for the 20th matchday. What are you bets everyone?

Pellegrino Matarazzo is the new coach at tsg hoffenheim. the coach, who was sacked at stuttgart back in october'22, is returning to hoffenheim, where he worked alongside J. Nagelsmann as co-coach from 2017 to 2019. PM has signed a contract until summer 2025.
since the new coach comes from the region (also lives there) and knows the club very well, i think it's the best decision hoffenheim could make.

Haha, interesting strategy. But you still won't win, my tips in the pools are too good. And everyone knows: You bet too heavily on your favourite Werder Bremen, haha. 

The next Bundesliga match day 21 is going to be quite interesting, since there are a few close matches:

Stuttgart vs. Köln and Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Werder Bremen are almost impossible to pick on, if you ask me. At least I have no clue what to pick in our Bundesliga pools. Dortmund should easily defeat Hertha and I am excited to see whether FC Bayern can continue its strong Champions League performance against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Pellegrino Matarazzo is a quite interesting choice tbh. I didn't expect him to actually come back. Let's see if he can turn things around at Hoffenheim.

not only the two games you mentioned, anything is possible in today's match between augsburg and hoffenheim, and sc freiburg has not yet won the game against vfl bochum, which is strong at home.
but soon we will know and be smarter

I bet on RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich today and I hope both clubs will win their games. What do you think, was that a good decision? I'm so unsure about Bayern Munich in particular because the club's performance has been very different lately. 

Side note: If you look at the thread like this, you might think it's on the german local board.

Damn, it looks like your FC Bayern bet didn't go to well. Sorry buddy.

You're right, Bayern's performance has been extremely shaky in recent weeks. Somehow they have lost their routine and are weak, especially against smaller clubs. Of course, the 3:2 defeat against Borrusia Mönchengladbach this weekend fits in with this poor performances.

However, Bayern's weakness is a really positive development for the Bundesliga. We could finally get an exciting race for the Bundesliga title this year. And Dortmund is currently leading Hertha 2-0 in the last match of the matchday, making the Bundesliga table closer than it has been in a long time. FC Bayern and Dortmund would then both have 43 points. Pretty exciting.
