The match was tense and Mainz 05 had already secured their position to get the victory, and this match was quite hot because the two played quite hard and each of the players received a red card, namely Nadiem Amiri from Main 05 and Samuel Essende from Augsburg, and now playing with 10 players from each team, it was very funny.  

It seems that even though the current situation has the same players Mainz 05 prefers to maintain its position, they do not make meaningful attacks, defending to get a victory is the choice taken by coach Henriksen, although the possession of the ball is 70% controlled by Augsburg at this time they are very difficult to penetrate the fortress of Mainz 05 defense.

The match is currently 2-3 and the temporary victory is still led by Mainz 05, this match is quite interesting and suspenseful, although the match was controlled by Augsburg but could not catch up with the goal that Mainz 05 got, unfortunately I think if Mainz 05 does not play nicely with 10 players because of the red card that Nadiem Amiri got will be a disaster for Mainz 05, it looks like the current match for Mainz 05 is tightening the defense to defend the game.

From the look of the players performance, it shows that they have improved a lot under Kompany but I still will not believe that they are cvery strong to the point of winning the league and that can be judged when we are in the middle of the season.

It is not that I am against Kompany brilliant coaching skills but I feel that it might be hard for Kompany to come from nowhere and win Bundesliga this season without having any challenges.

You are right. Any wrong move by Vincent Kompany will bring back all the criticism he had before the start of the Bundesliga competition, because nobody expects he will be able to perform like this. Although we know that he has good players under his management, everybody was doubting his coaching skills, but he later did not disappoint.

 I think Komapny will do everything to see that he gets the Bundesliga title this season so that he will remain relevant in the club as the manager, because seriously, if he fails, I also doubt he’s staying. I was even thinking it will take him time to develop a strategy that will suit the players, but no, Vincent Kompany makes everything possible in a shit period of time. I think Bayern Munich is already back to their normal form. 

According to the stats you’ve given for both teams, it seems this match should be watched upon on a neutral basis. No team seems more powerful than the other team and it clearly shows that any team that is able to put in better performance in this match will win the match. Both teams are not a team that are so powerful, so their game may not be that entertaining to some people and they won’t be a lot turn up in this match. They both know they’ve defensive problems, so I think both teams defence will be tight today and they’ll easily take advantage of each other if any defensive line falls to allow the counter of another team penetrate into them and succeed.

I also think that the win in the Champions League against Feyenoord maybe give them strength for the coming home game against Wolfsburg.
But i guess that they even they dont have played in the CL have enough self confidence for getting the win.
Wolfsburg is in my opinion not really or should be not really a problem for them at home , i go for win for Leverkusen here.

Speaking of Alonso, he is very skilled when handling Bayer Leverkusen, so far they have performed quite well. Alonso was able to bring a team that was initially slumped into a solid and strong team under his guidance, the peak of which was he was able to bring Leverkusen to break Bayern Munich's dominance last season. However, it does not necessarily guarantee that Alonso will be able to handle a bigger team such as Real Madrid for example, because there are many factors that can prevent the development under his guidance. The simplest case is the problem of the egoism of star players, they feel great and are not sure to obey the orders or instructions of the coach. That's why Alonso had rejected several offers from elite clubs before. Because he knows very well, not only tactics, strategies or about the system. but also the role as a boss or leader of the players, they must obey and respect their coach. Thus, chemistry and bonding will be closely connected. One example is Carlo Ancelotti who was able to become a role model for his team. Vincent Kompany, suddenly coached a team at the level of Bayern Munich. What is certain is that doubts about him are no longer foreign news to him. criticism will always come to him, especially if Bayern Munich plays underperform. but it is a plus for him, he can immediately correct it so that it can be fixed. what's great is, it seems that Kompany has gained full trust from Bayern Munich's players. and, that is a provision for him to achieve success in his first season at least the Bundesliga trophy.

There is only one match in the German Bundesliga tonight. Augsburg are playing Mainz 05. Augsburg started the season badly. But they beat St. Pauli in their last game. They had serious problems in defense in the first games. They conceded 2 goals against Werder Bremen and 4 against Heidenheim. On the other hand, Mainz 05 looked like a more balanced team. But they too conceded very easy goals due to their defensive problems. After drawing in the first two weeks, they lost to Werder Bremen in the last week. I will bet on both teams to score in this match. Both teams made critical mistakes in defense in the last games.

Augsburg vs Mainz

Augsburg (confirmed lineup): Nediljko Labrovic, Maximilian Bauer, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Keven Schlotterbeck, Marius Wolf, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Ruben Vargas, Samuel Essende.

Mainz (confirmed lineup): Robin Zentner, Dominik Kohr, Moritz Jenz, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Anthony Caci, Philipp Mwene, Kaishu Sano, Nadiem Amiri, Hyun-Seok Hong, Armindo Sieb, Jonathan Burkardt.

Augsburg and Mainz have begin the fourth match of the season, they just had three matches, Augsburg have only a win, a draw and one defeat while Mainz haven't win any, secured 2 draw and faced one defeat, and tonight they are playing away game and Augsburg will not like to be disgrace by Mainz to secure their first win of the season, with this I think Augsburg will play harder to secure victory tonight.

Seems very competitive for Bundesliga tittle race in this season after Bundesliga's UEFA Champion League participants teams have very impressive performance, Bayern Leverkusen, Dortmund and Bayern Munich success winning the first match and believing with three teams have strong opportunity become the domestic league winner in this season.
I can't believing with Bayern Munich performance in this season although have lack experienced with their manager but success winning bigger score every match and recently Dinamo Zagreb over 9-2.

I think Bundesliga season 2024/25 become more interested of three teams above have consistent performance until at the last games week because last season Bayern Leverkusen easily for winning domestic league tittle after Bayern Munich as top competitor team difficult defend their top performance.

Leverkusen are returning to the Bundesliga with a really improved morale after a huge 4-0 win over Feyenoord. I'm sure it will reflect on their next game here against Wolfsburg home as well. 

Maybe they were caught off guard against Leipzig at the beginning but just like I said, this doesn't change anything for Xabi Alonso's students. They just continue to roll... I expect no point loss before the tough away game against Bayern Munich in a week. In that game, there are just a lot of betting opportunities on the table.    It will be difficult to make a choice among them.

But I won't go for a bet on any side to win that's for sure. 

This contradicts our previous assumptions in pre-season and I think everyone believed that Bayern's decision was too hasty, right?

Now we just need to see what surprises Kompany will bring to the table in their current competition. The season has already started to take on a rigorous schedule where some of the big clubs are already faced with more than just one competition considering the Champions League has already started and smaller domestic competitions are also ready to go.

If in the end Kompany can rotate players well and be consistent in his performance then indeed this will be a very good situation for Kompany but for now he cannot be proud of his achievements because after all he still has to be humble especially the season is still very long to do so there could be an unfavorable situation later for Kompany and he must be prepared for it.

I am sure that Kompany could become a good coach eventually but he is just to new to this and that is why I feel like he is doing something that is beyond his years. He talked about how he broke them old and did more than what was destined for him by becoming this much, but that was something he did with step by step, he didn't started football at 20 years old and became Man City legend at 21 years old, he grew from kid to adulthood as a player and worked hard to do all of those, whereas he had just one year of premier league where he relegated and then became Bayern Munich manager, those are not the same things and that jump is something he has never done before which is why his confidence may help during the season but I am pretty sure that he is going to have a very tough time.

It doesn't really mean that he is going to end up with a good result just because he will have some hard time but I am sure that given enough time he will become a good coach.

In fact, Dortmund also did not find it easy to beat Brugge even though indeed, Dortmund managed to win with a big score of 0-3 but anyway, the fact is that Dortmund also needed great efforts to get the victory. Because after all, Dortmund also just managed to score a goal in the 76th minute and that means, Brugge may also have lost focus because they were no longer able to hold Dortmund's draw so that in the end Brugge conceded and suffered a pretty heavy defeat at home.

But indeed, apart from these results that Dortmund are indeed quite favored to win, so basically Dortmund do have a chance to get it. But with this victory also does not mean that it will make Dortmund easy for the next matches,  because there are still many more difficult matches later, because later Dortmund will also play against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champion League later.

Soon we will watch the Augsburg vs Mainz match which will be held at Augsburg's home ground, to be honest I really can't be sure about who will get full points in this match because after all these are two teams that are not too favored in the Bundesliga, and I also can't compare who is stronger because last season both teams finished with a narrow points difference in the bottom of the standings.

But maybe I would say that the one who has a greater chance of getting three full points in this match is most likely Augsburg because after all they will be playing at home, I think that's the only thing we can use as a benchmark to at least know who has a greater chance of winning when both teams are equally weak.

Well, after this weekend we will already be a bit smarter as of where Dortmund actually is standing. They will have to play IN Stuttgart, which didn't look bad at the away game at Real Madrid during the week.
I think if BVB can snatch 1 point from this game they would be really happy with that. Until now they have show mediocre performances against mediocre teams. Stuttgart will be the first real test and I am actually curious how they will perform.

Somehow I got a bad feeling about this one and these feelings are often correct. For the sake of being a BVB fan myself I hope I am wrong though!! 

Honestly I don't have high hopes for dortmund in the champions league although it is undeniable that they will be able to talk a lot but if we talk about being able to penetrate the final party like last season I still doubt their strength.
However if we talk about the bundesliga yes they are still strong candidates who accompany leverkusen and munich to compete for the trophy but the new league is rolling they have not met each other, for now the performance assessment of nuri sahin is still positive, yes hopefully nuri sahin as a tactician can be consistent in every match and eliminate all doubts that are pinned on him.

The big demands are always carried by any coach who handles a big team like Bayern Munich. Kompany is still doubtful to be able to bring Bavarian back to become a champion, but so far he has been quite successful in mixing the team with a series of wins. I don't think Kompany will be fired for this season regardless of the final result. Unlike Alonso, he has made a brilliant record with Leverkusen. Alonso will certainly be fought over by other teams if he steps down from the coaching chair and I am also sure Bayern Munich will also be willing to use his services.

You forgot to mention Dortmund as one of the strong candidates to win the Bundesliga title this season. You can't completely ignore Dortmund and favor Leverkusen as favorites, while Dortmund is Bayern Munich's closest goal almost every season. Leverkusen certainly can't be ignored as a contender, but I tend to consider Dortmund a typical strong contender this season.

Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Leverksen are the three favorites in my opinion, but Leipzig cannot be underestimated. You are certainly right that it is only the start of the season and things can change quickly for each team, but usually the teams that will be dominant will emerge from the start of the season and they tend to be eager to maintain their performance compared to others.

Club Brugge is a top club in their domestic league, but when compared to Borussia Dortmund in terms of popularity they are not like Borussia Dortmund, one of the reasons is the popularity of the league in my opinion.

Let's look at the statistics in this match.
Statistically, Club Brugge is actually not bad, it's just that they are not more effective in taking advantage of every opportunity they have. While Borussia Dortmund can be better in taking advantage of opportunities so that they can create 3 goals in this match. They were successful in the first challenge, but they must be able to show that they can be consistent in the next matches.
