Topic: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread - page 432. (Read 667351 times)

The Bundesliga will send five representatives to the Champions League next season, Leverkusen, Bayern Munchen, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Dortmund. Meanwhile, I predict that the competition for the Bundesliga trophy will involve these five teams, so those who can appear balanced in these two competitions will be very lucky. Leverkusen has the better chance of them, because Xabi Alonso decided to stay for next season. Meanwhile, the depth composition of Leverkusen squad doesn't seem to have changed much, so they have the opportunity to repeat the success story like last season.

Regarding Leverkusen performance in the Champions League, I assume their journey there will not be as consistent as in the Europa League last season, because there are many elite clubs who have better strengths. Even though Xabi Alonso will try to prioritize these two competitions, I think his main priority will still be the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, changing managers for Bayern Munchen and Dortmund should be a good opportunity for Leverkusen, because usually new managers need time to adapt. Personally, I would not be surprised if Leverkusen will win the Bundesliga trophy again next season.

I  agree, there is no room for the underestimating other club as things are going any moment can bring changes, and now we are having new generation coaches which are doing good job and having their own way of bringing things under well control and I also sure Xabi Alonso never do any mistake to underestimate them with things could be not easy while we are going to have few changes in all top clubs many new players are joining and giving them strength which will bring good competitiveness and motivation for the success as well.

Even there is too much talk about Vincent Kompany, but we have to watch him before giving any solid comments because he was a good player and also done good job in last job with we can expect Bayern Munich surely could be more aggressive for the future and break their jinx which hurt them badly in last season, and they were ended without any trophy.

You made two different statements that needs to be reacted to;

• Xavi Alonso may not repeat his unbeaten record:

Obviously I do not think that anyone is expecting Xavi Alonso and his boys to repeat their unbeating history in the incoming season. The only thing that is expected of them is to defend the Bundesliga title by whatever means they will do but they should be at the top of the table at least for one more season.

• Kompany will have difficulty bringing Kane to Success:

I think this statement is not true. Harry Kane is not an amateur striker that any coach need to refine. Harry Kane is already made and has been consistent for the past decade. So he only needs to be fit in order to score goals. Besides, Vincent Kompany has been in England for long with Harry Kane they both understand each other.

Yes, it is true that defending the title is probably going to be very hard for them, but you know already Xabi Alonso's team broke a 59-year record for the longest unbeaten streak. I think it is not a good idea to say that there is a high chance for Leverkusen to actually lose that title. Because they have been able to win the title without a very big squad. So they will probably be able to defend the title as well. What worked for them was the teamwork. Xabi Alonso also had some very good tactics as well. But the thing is, they will definitely have to improve the defense. I have heard that they are looking for good defenders and also good attackers as well. I think the defense and the midfield should be the main priority right now though.

Of course, it is not impossible because Leverkusen still has almost the same squad and the same coach. We can assume that Leverkusen is still as strong as the previous season. However, other teams in Bundesliga can be stronger, they also already learn many things to beat Leverkusen in the next season. So, the chance to get losses will be higher in the next season. The teams in Bundesliga are familiar enough with Leverkusen game style. Even, they already learned how Atalanta could destroy Leverkusen. It is an important match to be analyzed by all the teams in Bundesliga.

Anyway, Bayern Munich already changed their coach with a new one. Vincent Kompany is the coach of Bayern Munich now, he may bring a new spirit to improve Bayern Munich performance. Although Kompany has lack experience in managing big teams, who knows if he can also be successful as Xabi Alonso. Nowadays, a new coach can give a big surprise. It is not only in Bundesliga but it also happens in other leagues such as in Serie A and EPL. To be honest, I really expect that Kompany can improve Bayern Munich. So the race for the title of Bundesliga will be interesting again for the next season. Anyway, Pep Guardiola stated a positive thing about Kompany. He believes Kompany is the right coach for Bayern Munich.

I think Bayer Leverkusen winning the league next season is under 70% this is because there is no news of any of their player who has left the club at the end of the season even though they have not added a new player yet in the team but the availability of them manager Xabi Alonso still means a lot to the team and it will give them an edge over their biggest rivals Bayern Munich because they have a new coach who will take some time to master the players before chosing the write tactics and formation that will be best for the team.

Bayer Leverkusen involvement in other competition especially the champions League will surely affect their performance in the league but since their opponent Bayern Munich and Stuttgart is also playing in the champions League I think they will still have the advantage of winning the league because they have a more balance team than Bayern Munich so far.

Bayern reached the Champions League semifinals last season despite several setbacks. That's hard in today's very competitive market. Leverkusen won, but it's a marathon. We must see if they can maintain that intensity

Alonso has a chance to become a good manager. Smart Xabi knows what he's doing. But the Bundesliga is wild, and Kompany's arrival at Bayern changes everything. Dortmund, Stuttgart, Leipzig will all compete for the top. However, Bayern and Leverkusen may be the teams to beat again. The season will be awful, no doubt

Repeating the same performance as last week, I would call it an impossible mission, what Leverkusen did was something very rare, few teams can finish a league without having defeats, even teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid have at least 1 to 3 defeats in the leagues of them when they win the league. So I don't see Leverkusen being able to finish the Bundesliga next season without losing and about the European League final, I think Leverkusen's players relaxed in that game because they had already won the Bundesliga, they were breaking a lot of records and that made the players relax. But we'll see how they do in the European Champions League next season.


Let's be honest, thinking that Bayern's new coach will be able to win the Bundesliga, in my opinion is the same as giving him a mission in which he only has a 1% chance of success, the guy won't be able to win the Bundesliga next season. He doesn't know the Bundesliga, he's new as a coach of a big team, he's new to the European Champions League as a coach of a big team. see, real madrid and manchester city achieve good results because they have experienced coaches and the club's management kept them for many years, in the season in which barcelona became La Liga champions, real madrid did not win the champions league Europeans and La Liga but the management of Real Madrid did not fire the coach, and this season they won La Liga and the European Champions League

In the season that Tuchel arrived at Bayern, he won the Bundesliga, and everyone celebrated, this season when he didn't win anything, he was fired. Bayern's problem is in the management and this new coach they hired was a mistake in my opinion, if Bayern's intention is to wait for results after 2 years, then maybe it is acceptable, but if they expect to win the Bundesliga next season then you will be disappointed

Yes, though their participation in other competition is indeed going to be a deterring factor to not likely be the Champions, but same as their major contenders this season, Bayern Munich and Stuttgart will also be present in more competition as Leverkusen will do, so If the squad is left intact and xavi Alonso is still their as the head coach, I don’t even think Bayern Munich is ready to outperform Bayern Leverkusen next season and lift the trophy,and even Stuttgart who finished second in the table last season.

I am honestly very doubtful about Kompany. If I remember correctly, Xabi Alonso was able to improve the Leverkusen team a lot even in the 2022/23 season. And this season we all know what he did with Leverkusen. on the other hand when we look at the managerial career of Kompany, just in this season he has actually taken his team to the relegation. I just don't understand how Bayern Munich actually brought in a coach that has taken his team to the relegation.

Kompany definitely has an easier task compared to Alonso. That's because he has a great squad. Maybe he will be able to implement good tactics with this really good squad. Only time will tell. But I am honestly very skeptical.


At the end of the day, can we actually not say that it is a fair battle between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich? Think about it, Leverkusen does not have a great squad like Bayern Munich. But they have a great coach. On the other hand, the coach of Bayern Munich is not someone who has proven himself in the past. But they have a very good squad. They have striker Harry Kane, who was the highest scorer in the Bundesliga in this season. So I think actually that advantage is with Bayern Munich. Problem is they are just inconsistent even against weak opponents. And it does not matter which team or which club it is, if they are inconsistent, they are not winning anything.

To repeat the unbeaten record in the Bundesliga is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible for Leverkusen to happen again under Alonso's guidance next season. However, remembering that this is something that is not easy for Leverkusen to repeat, of course there is a possibility that Leverkusen could lose in the Bundesliga next season even though Leverkusen is still the favorite to win the Bundesliga. And the difficulty of this could arise from the fatigue of Leverkusen players because next season the team will also compete in the Champions League which is generally very physically draining for players.

Stuttgart itself is not a team that has good finances, of course with their success in being ranked 2nd last season, their players have received a lot of attention and of course Stuttgart themselves will let them go if a good offer comes in, clubs like them provide many opportunities to young players and they look for them wherever they are and increase their prestige then they will sell them and get big profits There's no need to pay attention, but talking about Stuttgart in the Champions League next season they will be under a lot of pressure so Stuttgart management should be able to look for potential new to playing with them.

After a team rises in the rankings, the value of the players in that team increases significantly. These players naturally transfer to bigger teams. But after these transfers, the team goes into decline again. Finishing in 2nd place last season was a great success.
If the players go to other teams, the efforts of the whole season will be in vain. However, if the team management makes a few new transfers and ensures that the quality of the team remains high, we can watch a very successful team in Europe next season

Guirassy has been able to perform quite well and consistently with Stuttgart in the last two seasons, although Stuttgart performance has not been stable in the Bundesliga but Guirassy has been able to provide many differences in his squad so far, so it is not surprising that Guirassy hopes to leave Stuttgart next season, Stuttgart which may be difficult to convince Guirassy to stay is of course now starting to price a high price for any team that really wants to recruit Guirassy next season, although Stuttgart will play in the Champions League next season, but I think it will not make Guirassy change his mind and prefer to leave for another big team that can indeed be more promising for him to get a trophy in the future.

Currently, there are several big teams that are starting to target Guirassy, arsenal and Dortmund are very interested in bringing Guirassy to their squad in the summer, but from some existing reports, it seems that Guirassy is currently getting closer to Dortmund and reportedly Dortmund is ready to make Guirassy one of the players who has a high salary in Dortmund later.

Last season, Bayern Munich failed to win any single trophy despite parading the most prolific striker in any of the top five leagues in Europe for last season. Bayern Munich's poor performance resulted to the sacking of their former manager Thomas Tuchel who's now replaced by Belgian young manager Vincent Kompany. I don't expect Bayern Munich to play with their performances come next season because they actually need to make up for their poor performance of last season.  The former German champions now knows that there's a certain club like Bayer Leverkusen who's very capable of winning the league again if they fail to step up so expect Bayern Munich to come very prepared for next season so they can return to where they belong.
For Bayer Leverkusen, it'll be very difficult to repeat their achievements of last season because many clubs in the German Bundesliga will be more wary of the Bayer Leverkusen team than they've were last season to stop them from completing another unbeaten run in an entire Bundesliga

The rumours about departure of Guirassy already appears since last month because Guirassy has been confirmed that he want to leave Stuttgart and look for new clubs and this makes some of European clubs has starting to putting him into their radar this because they were impress to see Guirassy performance this season which he can scores 30 goals total in all competitions moreover Stuttgart also demanding low price because those who want to bought Guirassy they only have to spend 20 million and this is cheap price considering Guirassy is very productive this season

It says Arsenal, Chelsea, Dortmund and AC Milan will compete to gets Guirassy signature and it's very interesting to see who is the winner of this race and for Milan if they really want Guirassy they have to immediatelly bid for him because reported Arsenal will be serious who want him and do not forget too Dortmund because recently Dortmund says they are very confident will gets Guirassy soon but unfortunately Guirassy hasn't decide yet which club will he move to this summer

No one having doubt about Stuttgart performance in last season as they were hardly avoided relegation before this, and then we have amazing stuff from them which led them for having second spot in Bundesliga and now things are clearly indicating they could be ended on same passage because if they fail to keep their key players then things could be not well under control for them, and they will be not able to have same level performance which is needed because now they are having another challenging season ahead.

Hopefully management will try to keep things on level with bringing few top level players which will give them good boost for the Champions League and next season challenge because Borussia Dortmund and few other clubs are looking for the success and this will be interested.

We currently can't give any prediction about next season with things are going to be challenging for all top clubs because they are doing good job for this Vincent Kompany is surprising choice for the Bayern Munich, but he can turn the tables and things can take good change under his leadership even this all could be not easy with Leverkusen is still good and competitive and have good chance of defending their title, but things could be not easy for any team.

RB Leipzig and Stuttgart both are also well-prepared for the top spots and Borussia Dortmund is also needed to be bounce back from their last season performance now we have all new generation coaches with their strategies and mythologies to be work and having success which is surely going to bring full action packed entertaining soccer for the fans.

Xabi Alonso has the opportunity to defend his title again, but repeating his streak without defeat seems unlikely to happen again. Bayern Munich has indeed changed coaches, but it looks like Kompany will have difficulty bringing Kane to success. Alonso just needs to polish his squad a little so that it is fresher when entering the new season. However, Alonso is clearly under pressure if he continues to be compared to his achievements this season.

Xabi Alonso succeeded in instilling a winning mentality in each of his players, so that the unbeaten record they recorded last season was not just luck. The competition for trophies next season will certainly become more competitive, Bayern Munich and all the Bundesliga contestants will certainly put pressure on Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso ambition to repeat his success is quite large, his decision to stay with Leverkusen shows this. Throughout the club history, Leverkusen have been trying to get to that point, they are used to suffering, their success last season changed history. The journey next season feels even more interesting, because Leverkusen will be in the Champions League, the challenges they will face are clearly much bigger than last season.
