I bet you won't never bet on FC Bayern again. Cheesy

Pressure shouldn't be a problem for Bayern, it's a very experienced team.

LOL! I hope, you will not be right about that. In any case, yesterday I placed my bet with a lot of confidence and keep my fingers crossed for FC Bayern. But yeah, I'm sticking with it. If FC Bayern lose, I won't bet on the club anymore. Well, at least not this season anymore. Cheesy

Another update for our thread today: The February Bundesliga team of the month just has been released. Dortmund dominates like crazy, lol.

Interesting picks. I agree for most picks but Adeyemi (Dortmund) and Kolo Muani (Frankfurt) have played very well and are not included. Adeyemi is injured now but he contributed a big part to Dortmund's strong performance.
Zalazar? Well, Schalke hasn't lost a game in February but only scored 2 goals in 4 matches, which is really ridiculous.
Might be a joke after all?... Tongue

Yes, really impressive what BVB is currently offering. It is currently the strongest opponent for FC Bayern in my opinion. Hopefully it stays that way.

It will be crucial when Dortmund is facing Leipzig Friday evening. Dortmund didn't show an impressive performance against Hoffenheim, a very weak team currently.
Leipzig will be a much stronger opponent.
Maybe it's because Adeyemi is injured, but Dortmund has a very good quality in general. Especially Brandt and Bellingham have been strong recently.

That would be something if FC Bayern lost to Stuttgart. Then I would never bet on FC Bayern again and as you say, FC Bayern need the points and can't miss this opportunity. Hopefully that's not too much pressure for Bayern. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they don't have a bad day and lose.

Some games have been very close, but still won. Wink

Bayern just can't afford to lose points right now, even when Dortmund will face Leipzig next weekend, which will be a difficult game.
And Union is also still close.

-snip- The most interesting match of the weekend already takes place on Friday, when Borussia Dortmund faces RB Leipzig. Let's see if Dortmund can confirm their strong run of form and take three points for the lead in the Bundesliga table.

I'm also curious about the result of this game. Since both teams are currently quite strong, it will certainly be an exciting game. I can imagine that BVB will win, but you shouldn't underestimate RB Leipzig.

Very nice performance against Union and Bayern could have even scored 5 or 6 goals in total. After leading already 3:0 in the first half, Bayern had several opportunities in the 2nd half to score.

100%. FC Bayern's problem this season is also not scoring goals, but inconsistent performance. In some games things are going extremely well, while in others absolutely nothing is working out. The upcoming Bundesliga games and the second leg of the Champions League are likely to be decisive in determining whether this will be a successful or a weak season for the club.

The following Bundesliga matches are scheduled for the weekend (match day 23):

In the next game between FC Bayern and Stuttgart, I'll bet on Bayern again. I expect them to win the game with no problems.

Haha, too bad buddy. Bayern actually put in an extremely good performance against Union Berlin. The 3:0 result was fully deserved.

However, the fact that Bayern and Dortmund are now both at the top of the table with 46 points promises a pretty exciting final last leg of the season.

And at FC Bayern, there seems to be another interesting development. It is possible that Benjamin Pavard will extend his contract after all, even though it has looked more likely in recent months that he will soon be leaving the club.

Bayern bosses are impressed with Benjamin Pavard's performances this year, helped by his role as a centre-back in a back 3. A contract extension beyond 2024 remains possible and more likely than it was in recent months [@_kochmaximilian]

I agree with you there. I honestly also don't know how I'd bet on this match. The odds on Bayern aren't high enough to make a bet pay off and a Union win is still relatively unlikely, even if FC Bayern is currently in poor form.

I like the way the top three teams are so close to each other this season, the suspense of not knowing who is going to win the bundesliga makes it so interesting and attractive, i hope Union Berlin and Dortmund hold on until the end of the season, without collapsing towards the end and allow Bayern win it easily.

Yes, let's hope it stays that way. That definitely makes it more exciting. But if FC Bayern continues to be so dominant, it is easier to win bets on FC Bayern. Cheesy

However, there are a few other interesting matches this weekend. Borussia Dortmund has to play Hoffenheim

Borussia Dortmund have to win because they know there is a big opportunity for them to go up to first position on the table this weekend, a draw between Union Berlin v Bayern Munich is very possible, and if it happens that way and Dortmund win their own game, they would be on top. The schedule is even in their favor because they would play on saturday and have the chance to take the top position before Bayern v Union Berlin play their game on sunday.

Yes you are right. If FC Bayern don't improve its own performance, they will have a hard time against Union Berlin and could even lose their first place in the table if they suffer their third defeat. My gut says I shouldn't bet on the game and I probably won't. I can well imagine Union Berlin winning, but FC Bayern would be capable of that if they had a good day. It's not for nothing that they're still number 1 at the moment. It's really difficult to predict how the game will end.

For me the odds Dortmund @1.80 and RB Leipzig @1.72 look pretty interesting.

Especially Leipzig seem to be in better shape than I thought. Their performance today in the Champions League, playing 1:1 looked pretty strong. I didn't expect that, tbh.

Yes, unfortunately lost. Found the red card against FC Bayern was not justified. But whatever. Either way, I should have listened to my gut feeling and not bet on Bayern. Well, luckily it was only a small amount I bet on Bayern Munich. After all, RB Leipzig won and so did my bet. The win made up for the loss on the lost bet. Cheesy

Yep you're right, the red card was a pretty harsh decision, so it's not surprising that Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann went bananas, haha.

Gladbach's performance in recent years against Bayern has been quite solid, though. Except for one high loss, all results were pretty close.

And it looks like Union is not afraid of Bayern, or else the statements below cannot be interpreted, haha:

Aïssa Laïdouni (Union) on Sunday's game against Bayern: "Bayern have the same point tally as us, we don't need to be afraid. We have a lot of quality. You saw that against Leipzig. We need courage and confidence, then we can get something out of the game" [@BILD]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
