For Bayern Munich i have no doubts that they will be not struggling after the break and the World Cup for sure.
PSG and Munich has so much national players from everywhere and both have enough players that can play after the break.
Schalke is not complicated , they are lost this season. And if you mention Hamburg you can also take Nürnberg into that list.
Even if Bayern lose points in the game with Leipzig, this will not affect their position in the standings in any way - they have a good advantage over second place. And if you think about games against PSG, then there will be enough time to prepare for them, plus PSG is in the same situation as Bayern (many players will play in the World Cup) so no one will have an advantage here.
Bayern winning the trophy is only a matter of time even if they lose some points the other contenders will lose more i think many of bayern players playing in the world cup can give a small advantage in the bundesliga to the other teams but it won't be enough.
In a few words, here the team that will have the most comfort for everything is Bayern and PSG (in the UCL). However, we do not know how much wear all the players make in the World Cup, they can be at 100% of all their potential but They can also arrive very tired and this is something that is a fact, for me things have to be done in a very appropriate way and carried out with the calm that they decide, you cannot demand that they give so much in the games and commitments that they have pending, I know that the leagues are something that is their job, but it can give them a break, I don't know if after the break the players can give their best if they don't need maybe 1 week to fully recover.
If Union Berlin are among the top 9 teams at the end of the season, then they can really be proud of themselves. With the international competition they have another big task. If certain players drop out, then they have difficulties filling that spot. Their squad is not yet so big that they are a candidate for the top 5. But if they keep going the way something big will come out of it.
They have lost a lot of points in the last weeks, which is not very good for them. But I think they can go back to their old performance when the matches start again. Even though they don't have a very good squad, they are playing very well and are in a pretty good place in the league.
When all the players in the team are able to take the field, I think they can be one of the best teams in the league again.
If they continue like this, they can finish the league in the top 5 teams
Their focus completely lost in the last few weeks before the international break which saw them return to their usual team.
But indeed I still hope they can continue to be a dark horse even though they cannot maintain their position in the top 3 but they can still be troublesome in the top 5 just like the previous season even though this is definitely very difficult with their current condition.
Regarding this, is there any information that is known as to why the performance has dropped so much here? I don't understand how Union Berling has lost so much in a short time, at one point I saw it as one of the strongest teams in the Bundesliga, and I had serious doubts if it could compete against Bayern or not, but obviously I don't know what happens internally, I know that the moods of the players lately have been affecting their performance in many players and this may be one of the factors why they can have these results, another reason is that they have problems at the management level, which are already many problems. more internal.
