Topic: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread (Read 576816 times)

The resurgence of Bayer Leverkusen has changed the landscape of competitiveness in Bundesliga. In the past few years, Bayern only had Dortmund and Leipzig as their regular competitor that never succeeded to break Bayern's dominance. The success of Leverkusen to win the league has opened the hope for other teams.

I think next season is hard to predict with the allure of how Bayern is able to buy the best player from their closest rivals, like they bought Dayot Upamecano and Negelsmann from Leipzig. If next summer Bayern buy players from Leverkusen and Dortmund again, Bundesliga will be back to a boring competition again like it used to be. The transfer rumor is starting to mention Stuttgart's best player, Serhou Guirassy, to make a move this summer. Other rumors will appear one by one to target players from these three clubs. It will disappointing if Bayern sign any player from these three clubs, because it will weaken them.

They got to the top for a good reason that's why it doesn't surprise me if these clubs still sign them. It's not easy for a manager to win so that's enough proof that they could potentially do the same with other teams in other top leagues.

Maybe a Saudi team? Players are moving there so why not manager as well hehe.

I don't know why you choose to be this confident in Dortmund but then i don't think it's a problem as Dortmund hasn't been really bad with their their performance but they have been known of the season to have bottled the league severally and get they have only on a few occasion been able to show this level of strength they have been showing this season but then Dortmund is such that can be see or considered a weak team in the league.

In the bid to bring to an end the continuous erra of Bayern Munich winning the league, Dortmund has consistently kept trying to make sure they are able to win the league title in such a way that they will be able to probably end the erra of Bayern Munich always getting to win the trophy but then it turned out they are unable to achieve that rather it's Bayer Leverkusen who is now that top of the table and is going to win the league and it's very interesting to know that Leverkusen has brought to an end the unstoppable winning erra of Bayern Munich in the bundelisga.

From next season when the league will become most competitive than it has been before now, Leverkusen Dortmund and Bayern Munich will have to probably put up a power tussle which others such as Stuttgart and the rest could join in but they can be sure it's going to be a very different season with the new phase of the bundesliga having all top and average teams having an equal chance to strive again.

Bayern Munich fall, Bayer Leverkusen took that courage and pick up themselves up and ready to go unbeaten this season, they maintained such consistent level of football and will continue to push for excellent results against oppositions this season. Bayer Leverkusen are unarguably the best team. Xabi Alonso is a potential manager and have managed to lead his team to their first Bundesliga title in their existence as Bayer Leverkusen in bundesliga. This is an incredible record settled by Xabi Alonso, they always have the very best performance and have always been informed this season.

I honestly can't understand how the Bayern directors' way of thinking works, thinking that Ralf Ragnick is better than Tuchel is completely absurd, when you look at Ralf Ragnick's achievements, I don't see anything great that he has achieved with some club and it's funny that Bayern also wants to win the European Champions League, and as far as I know Ralf Ragnick hasn't won any European competition with any big team and when he became coach of Manchester United, he only made things worse Bayern's situation, not to mention that Ralf Ragnick has no experience with the Bundesliga, if the objective of Bayern's management is to completely destroy the team

so when they hire Ralf Ragnick, they will be on the right track to destroy Bayern, I simply don't see Tuchel as a bad coach, on the contrary, if I gave him one more chance, he would win the Bundesliga again, what happened with Bayern was that They had injured players and as Bayern's squad is a bit limited in the number of good players, this affected the team, but when you look at Bayern's performance, it's not bad, they got far in the European Champions League, they played against great teams from Europe and still got far, and I highly doubt that if Ralf Ragnick is Bayern's coach, they wouldn't even make it past the group stage in next season's European Champions League.

Asides Leverkusen who have outgrown their normal performances of past seasons causing a difference in football this season, Stuttgart themselves have been able to make relevance too being an underdog team outdoing themselves this season and even growing up to be a threat at profound tournaments.

 Their DFB Pokal game against Leverkusen is much anticipated as both teams have in the Bundesliga being very insightful with Leverkusen lifting the trophy and Stuttgart after so many years boasting now of a UCL ticket. It's at this moment going to be a game to watch out for even though a lot of us would admit that Leverkusen won't let themselves and the entirety of the football world down.

 Leverkusen's confidence has risen beyond the highest mark, they've got the Bundesliga already, they're prospects to the UEL and also the DFB Pokal, I sure do believe that they can make a lasting history this season. 3 trophies won't do them any harm either. They obviously stand a greater chance to the teams they'll be up against and Stuttgart themselves would only have to try to suppress them out of their misery.

 The first leg encounter had Leverkusen being tied to a draw as a result of the much impact Stuttgart made in the game which also caused them to battle in a second leg clash. Really, I would love to see how the game would turn out. For me, both teams are best and it's safe to say, let the best team win.

I personally also have not heard rumors that Zidane will be asked to lead Bayern Munich, I don't know where this talk came from so many people are talking about it, but I personally when looking for the rumor did not find anything past that can be confirmed credibly about this news.

Even if it happens that Zidane leads Bayern Munich it will be very exciting for next season, 2 old legends and a new legend of Real Madrid will be a competition of old styles and new styles, and more like teachers and students also for Zidane and Xabi Alonso, this will be a very tight competition going forward in the bundes league, We know how Zidane chooses players for his squad always get players who have very good performance and have the potential for sharpness that is very potential to be developed in the training management under him, I really don't doubt Zidane if he still has an open mind and focus, unless he is old and his mind is not as sharp as in the past when he led Real Madrid.
As for Xavi himself I think it's a bit difficult to leave Barcelona, but it's possible if he gets a very good offer from Bayern Munich, but the Bundes league is not as attractive as La Liga in popularity these days in my opinion.

Where do you get the rumor that Zidane stated he is ready to be the next coach of Bayern Munich? However, it will be interesting if Zidane really becomes the manager of Bayern Munich next season. We will see the competition of 2 legends of Real Madrid in managing 2 best teams in Bundesliga. Everyone knows that Zidane is a special coach, he can build a team very impressive. Just remember that when Real Madrid could win 3 UCL titles in a row! He may build Bayern Munich to be the same squad as Zidane ever built in Real Madrid. However, I think Xabi Alonso knows well about Bundesliga. Even if Zidane manages Bayern Munich, there is no guarantee for Bayern Munich suddenly wins the trophy.

Anyway, I also heard a rumor that Xavi may leave Barcelona and become the candidate of Bayern Munich next manager (coach). So, there are some top managers to be the candidate, it is not only Ralf Rangnick or Jurgen Klopp.

Would Bayern Munich really consider Rangnick as coach?
In my opinion, Rangnick and Tuchel are not much different now because indeed Rangnick is also not a coach who has cold hands like Guardiola and Alonso in coaching a team, before we can see if Rangnick did not have good achievements in coaching Manchester United before, so I think it would be risky for Bayern Munich to sign him, the sacking of Nagelsman in the middle of the team's journey,  Of course made Nagelsman will not consider the Munich offer that came to him, I think Bayern Munich's worst mistake was to recruit Tuchel as coach  Munich this season, although their realized that Tuchel had only been sacked by Chelsea after continuing to get bad results in the Premier League.

Whoever is Bayern Munich coach next season of course I hope to bring Munich back to life, so we can see next season the Bundesliga will probably be a bit competitive after Leverkusen has now emerged as a title challenger capable of breaking Bayern Munich dominance so far.

But, whether is true or not about the rumors about Zinedine Zidane being linked with Bayern Munich to become head coach of Bayern Munich next season? Apart from that, based on rumors circulating, it is said that Zidane is ready to return as head coach next season. For that reason, I think it could happen, but yes, whether Zidane will accept Bayern Munich's offer or even accept the offer of another big European club, but indeed, it seems like that is still just a rumor. But yes, about Ralf Rangnick I also think not the right choice for Bayern Munich. Because next season, Xabi Alonso will still be the manager of Bayer Leverkusen and of course, to be able to fight against Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, then Bayern Munich should get a coach who really has great qualities too.

What do you mean he will continue to struggle? Did you get the impression that the coach or the players struggled in the Champions League quarterfinals? It was quite the opposite. Yet, the only right decision is to get rid of Tuchel. Surprisingly the guy always finds another big club to immediately get going after he gets fired. Once these coaches made it to the top of the list in the world, it doesn't matter what their results are. They sign contract after contract. Just look at Pochettino, one of the worst in the business. But he doesn't care, next club will be waiting for him when Chelsea fires him.

Its very important match for both teams to secure one place to get participants in Champion League next season, currently Dortmund have outside from Champion League spot standings behind two points remaining after being draw against Bayern Leverkusen last week and RB Leipzig success getting three points their last games against Heidenheim. About money, crucially its yes because teams who qualifying to plays in Champion League will earn huge amount of money depend on how round qualifying.

RB Leipzig has bigger chance for securing the last place for UEFA Champion League spot if can defeating Dortmund or being draw with three matches later seems easily for beating their opponent teams. Dortmund has not good position between focus for securing three points in domestic league against RB Leipzig and performing well for the first leg match against PSG because has three days for taking recovery.

For sure, it was a mistake to send Nagelsmann off. Tuchel is not doing well currently and he will continue to struggle because players don't seem to have much trust in him. Despite Harry kane, who scores a lot of goals for Bayern in important matches, FC Bayern can't win Bundesliga anymore.

Bayern should develop a plan to win Champions Leage now but we all know winning Champions Leage is very difficult.

People often write several name errors between xabi and xavi, whether they actually know or not they are two different people, xavi Hernández is the Barcelona coach while xabi Alonso is the Leverkusen coach, I'm sure they might not be aware of making typos, but maybe it's just You were the one who corrected that mistake, talking about Xabi Alonso, we all know that his success certainly brought his name to soar as the best coach in the Bundesliga and maybe in Europe. because he has brought Leverkusen to win the title in the Bundesliga for the first time.

I am sure that he can maintain his position as coach at Leverkusen because he and his team will play in the UCL next season because they have received that ticket. It would be a shame if he was tempted by money and wanted to coach Munich or another club that was willing to pay a lot of money for him, Leverkusen would have to can continue to show his best performance next season because it is important for Xabi Alonso to be able to bring Leverkusen back to being champions again next season in other major European competitions including the UCL and Munich must find a new coach if in the end Tuchel is fired.  

The current coach, Thomas Tuchel will be replaced but it's definitely going to be at the end of the 2023/2024 Bundesliga campaign. We know how tough it have been for Bayern Munich this season. A devastating condition for the club as they will strive for excellence this season. Rumours fast circulating about Bayern Munich recruiting the former Manchester United boss, Ralf Ragnick. It's been an important decision for Bayern board because they made a mistake this season and watch where it got them?

Xabi Alonso is staying back at Bayern Leverkusen and I don’t see any team going to approach him now again after he has made it clear that he’s going to continue with the team next season. Next season will be a bigger challenge to him. The team will be participating in the champions league matches which they need a coach that have an understanding of the team to help them through in that competition as well as the Budesliga games of the next season. A lot will be waiting to see if he can repeat what he did this season, so all eyes will be on him and his team because no team will take it lightly with them when they meet in all competitions next season.


I thought Thomas Tuchel will be leaving by end of the season and they’re already in search of a new coach to replace him. There are no so many big coaches out there that don’t have a job now but maybe a huge offer will make any of them leave their team to come coach Bayern Munich next season.
Their only hope is the champions league this season after failing to win the Bundesliga. Qualifying for the semifinals of the competition is not an assurance that they can win the tournament, they still need to eliminate the big team Real Madrid which is the most difficult opponent to beat in the champions league.

how can you say Dortmund dominates the Bundesliga? while Leverkusen and Munich were still seen dominating the Bundesliga before Leverkusen made the title official in the previous match.
I admit that many people want Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title to be able to achieve achievements like Leverkusen but it won't be that easy and I'm sure all Dortmund fans understand that if several quality players like Haaland and Bellingham are not sold to other teams, it will definitely be very easy for Dortmund to achieve this Bundesliga title.
and unfortunately Dortmund is more concerned with business.

I think maybe Bayern's mistake was to send Nagelsmann off the team. Nagelsmann was playing well in the team. Maybe Nagelsmann would have been better this year, but the difficult decision to send him away from Bayern Munich brought a steady decline for them. Tuchel was not as successful. Considering what we talked about today, I think Tuchel's decision was wrong. The league championship, which has not been lost for a long time, slipped away this year.

I do not see what Bayern Munich sees in Rangnick. First of all, he is definitely a nobody, look at his history and you will see that he never managed a big club, biggest club he managed was Leipzig, and just a caretaker position at United, which he didn't do all that well to be fair.

I believe that they would be making a huge huge mistake if they got him, and while I do agree that they are a team that usually makes all the correct decisions, and while they could still win the title next season with Rangnick, it still doesn't mean that he would be the best candidate. I would say that they need to look elsewhere, there are other managers they could look for, and there are so many other names which has experience with huge clubs like Bayern.

Sometimes these two names are misplaced because they look and sound alike and both seem to have the same personality as young successful coaches. But you should know that it is Xabi Alonso if it is in the Bundesliga predictions thread while Xavi Hernandez is also for the La Liga.


Xabi Alonso wants to remain in Bayer Leverkusen and consolidate on his achievements like taking the club to the Champions League. He has committed himself to the team and I also assume that he would be offered an increased pay which will make him settle there. Ralf Rangnick has confirmed that he has been contacted by Bayern and he has also informed his current employer the Austrian Football Association. He has not confirmed he is leaving the Austria national team but he didn't also rule out the possibility. There is also some speculation that Bayern might consider licking their wounds and reconsider giving Thomas Tuchel another chance.
