These are the moments that young players need to show their talent, they need playing time so they can more easily integrate with the core players and understand the philosophy of the coach. Young players are the future of the club, they need to explore their potential so they can enter the main team.
Their presence is very much needed because Munich's schedule is very tight this season, at any time Kompany can make a small rotation or give them confidence in them towards the end of the 10 minutes of the match so that they can hone their mentality and abilities.

This is what Real Madrid is mostly doing and I think Barcelona are also huge in their young players chance to play with the main team in order to integrate them into the main team gradually. Bayern Munich is indeed having a very tight schedule this season and they need to have a enough squad that they can rotate with, so having those young players ready at anytime to participate with them is the best thing they should do now.

Chelsea have enough squad that they were able to have two main eleven players to start at every competition they’re participating in, that has given them more confidence in all competitions and also reduce fatigue in the players. Bayern Munich are on top of the league table now and can’t afford losing that position, so they need to do all they can in order to remain there and that’s by strengthening their squad more for the big challenge ahead of them.

Neither is Real Madrid important nor is Chelsea important to what is happening in the Bundesliga. Quite surprising that you come to the conclusion that writing about them should belong in this thread. Maybe you got some explanation why you came up with the idea that you want to address two clubs that have no point in being brought up in the Bundesliga topic.


But back to topic: there are a few interesting weeks ahead of the Bundesliga for sure as the top teams are playing against each other and it would make so much sense to talk about that. Leverkusen against Dortmund and then Leverkusen against Bayern very soon. What is your opinion about that and why would you talk about clubs that have nothing to do with the topic here?

A draw seems to have a big chance to happen, because Dortmund is playing at home but based on the team's performance I think Bayer Leverkusen is still better. Thus, because Dortmund is playing at home then it seems Dortmund will be able to not lose to Bayer Leverkusen. Although indeed, basically any result can happen but as far as I have experienced, Dortmund also sometimes plays very tightly which makes the result a low goal and can also be the opposite. It is difficult to predict the exact result, but because their odds do not have a wide gap, then maybe I will still be confident in Dortmund in their match later.

As a note for the Dortmund - Leverkusen game ahead, the home side has a really huge advantage against their opponent in home games in general. If we take last 10 years into account, we can see that Dortmund won most of the time. Leverkusen won only once.  Sad

This is keeping me away from betting on them to beat Dortmund honestly. Even though Leverkusen are currently the team with the best form in the league, this pushes me away. But if I try my luck with a surprise bet then my choice would be them anyway.

Rather than that I'm thinking of making a goal bet on this one. Over 2.5 goals & BTTS @1.76 seems quite tempting.  Roll Eyes  I think it will win really easily, what do you say about it?


Your choice is very good with reasonable analysis. But honestly I have a little different analysis.



Looking at the options of both teams I have a speculation that both teams will not score more than 2.5 and I think if each team will score 1 goal and end with 1-1.
If I choose a special bet, I would prefer under 2.5 BTTS (Yes) with odds @7.40. I think it is better for me because betting on special has 2 risks and if getting odds below @2 is not equivalent to the risk we take.

Or I also have other options on special bets such as double chance & BTTS (Draw / Leverkusen Yes) with odds @2.13.
In this prediction it can be more comfortable because Leverkusen has a chance to win anyway.

Dortmund have been struggling with their form since the beginning of the season, their performances have been unstable and it’s the reason why they are sitting at 6th position, they need to improve their game to get a spot in the top four at least.
Facing Leverkusen will not be easy for Dortmund especially not in this form they are, having the home advantage doesn’t even make them the match favorites. I know regardless of the outcome the match will be a very tough and intense game but unlike you I cannot stake on Dortmund to win but I like the both teams to score option. I would rather stake on both teams to score and Over 2.5.

Both teams to score and a draw that's what I think it's the lowest risk in the game. I won't be betting though but that would had been my bets if I wanted to bet on the game. I always avoid games like this that the outcomes isn't clear to me due to the nature of the game. Dortmund won't want to lose and the same goes for Leverkusen. But don't make an assumption that Dortmund is going to lose just as they have been having a poor form as they have a very good record against Leverkusen. This game is also going to be the first game after the festivities that just ended. I noticed same type of results were played in the premier league as many teams were just drawing.

That is the best to play when betting both teams to score in the game, you cannot tell who will win. With this short break, both teams will be able to practice well, and the game will be very tough because Dortmund normally performs well against major clubs, and they will not want to lose at home to Leverkusen. So this game is unexpected, but I'm confident that both teams can score. Xabi Alonso is an excellent coach who will not aim to lose any points because they are competing with Bayern Munich in the league table, and any blunders or lost points will undoubtedly give Munich a significant advantage.

thus, in this game versus Leverkusen and Dortmund, I still expect Leverkusen to win because Dortmund isn't doing well in the league this season, thus I believe they can defeat Dortmund. Munich is playing Monchengladbach, and I am confident that they will win because they are better than them, so nothing will prevent Bayer Munich from losing three points to them. Let us see how the competition games end this weeks round 16 and see if Munich remains the favorite to win the Bundesliga this season.

Young players are future assets for every team so every coach must be able to utilize those who are still young at certain moments such as when rotation is needed in order to maintain the fitness of their own core players. So young players will also have an important role in this because they can also use that opportunity to make adjustments with players who are already experienced enough in the team. And so far Kompany is also expected to be able to use his players quite optimally and must be able to glance at talented young players to be able to strengthen Munich for the rest of this season and also in the coming season.

Bayern Munich is a very big team. Munich builds a strong squad every season and spends a lot of money to build the squad. Bayern Munich has experienced and talented players like Harry Kane in the attack. However, at the same time, the Munich management should add young talented strikers to the squad. As a result, even if Kane leaves Bayern Munich in the future, Munich will not have much problem in finding a suitable replacement.

Moreover, even if important players in the squad are injured, a suitable replacement is needed. Bayern Munich has a very busy schedule. The team is fighting for the Champions League and Bundesliga titles. That is why KOmpany should focus more on the young talented players in the squad. As a result, Bayern Munich will be able to maintain consistency in the long run.
Bayern Munich full strength football team is a good team . That team players have good form but they need good back up because that is game and players could be injured in any match and these players will help the team in bad days . Every team has good or bad days but they should try for the worst situation then they will be successful in their mission. We saw last match which they played against RB Salzburg full strength football team. That team need osum back up for the bas days in which big players will be injured.Bayern Munich team is at the top of  Bundesliga but they should be at the top at the end of season.Kompany should take immediate steps for the team because future of team is in the hand of  Kompany.

Kompany did not rotate much in the match so it was seen that many of the main players were fielded and in my opinion he tried to adjust to a different scheme in determining the strategy. Although actually the friendly match will give the opportunity for young players to show their skills and it can be combined by the coach to see their abilities. Thus young players will get the opportunity to play in the first team when they are able to show their best abilities. Bayern Munich managed to win the match with a score of 6-0 and this was a big win even though it was only a friendly match and it was good as a test of strength to face real competition.
These are the moments that young players need to show their talent, they need playing time so they can more easily integrate with the core players and understand the philosophy of the coach. Young players are the future of the club, they need to explore their potential so they can enter the main team.
Their presence is very much needed because Munich's schedule is very tight this season, at any time Kompany can make a small rotation or give them confidence in them towards the end of the 10 minutes of the match so that they can hone their mentality and abilities.

Especially why I have so much respect for the likes of pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger, and sir Alex Ferguson because these coaches have discovered and also helped a lot of young player to become super stars in world football, these men shaped football by giving a lot of youngsters the platform and opportunity to express themselves on the pitch.

We saw how Cesc Fabregas became a world class midfielder under the tutorship of Arsenal Wenger, and then the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul scholes and so many young players were given the opportunity to storm their world under Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola also help a lot of players when he became coach at Barcelona and he is still doing the same because he understands how important it is for young players to have playing time so as to help them develop into professional players in the future.

On the other hand, Leverkusen also considers this match very important in order to maintain their hopes of being able to defend the Bundesliga title. Moreover, Leverkusen is currently only 4 points behind Bayern Munich, so their chances of catching up with Bayern Munich are wide open with the hope that Bayern Munich will lose when facing Borussia Mönchengladbach.
I guess we dont see that happen if all goes right as it should , that Bayern Munich will be losing against Gladbach even Gladbach is playing at home.
I think that Munich will be win that game.

So this Dortmund vs Leverkusen match will certainly be tough, and both teams will certainly play with an attacking strategy in order to score goals. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 is a wise betting choice because it is difficult to predict who will win this match but what is certain is that both teams will score goals.
Yeb it will be and is hard to say who will win that game on the coming friday.
As i have written a few days earlier i think that Dortmund will be have the home advantage and this can get them more confidence.
But Leverkusen has all the strength and players to also win that match in Dortmund , so its a 50 : 50 % game.

In the last home game Dortmund had draw against Hoffenheim and Dortmund game was very bad, on the other hand previously Dortmund also got 1 red card received by Pascal Gross in the meeting against Wolfsburg so Pascal Gross was confirmed absent later when Dortmund hosted Leverkusen.
There is an advantage that Leverkusen can have to win, what needs to be done is to optimize the front line to be sharper considering that Leverkusen if they play well then Dortmund is not difficult team for them to beat, especially Bayern Munich who is the strongest team can only bring draw against Leverkusen.
We have Dortmund is problems for some years due to poor quality which is giving them problems currently they are facing challenges in Bundesliga with things are quite possible we not have them into top ranks as their defense is not good with their attack is also having no depth like we need for quality matches their game against Bayer Leverkusen is going to be tough with visitors having good squad and their current performance is also giving them good advantage for staying at top ranks for title challenge.

In Champions League, we will have them in final now again they have good chance of going into next round without any problem but problems heading for them here in domestic league where they fail to bring improvement, and they needed some good changes in January window which can increase their quality and performance if they want to be one of the top four teams.

The Bundesliga is currently entering a break schedule which can be an opportunity for every coach to optimize their squad and also their strategy with friendly matches including Munich, it is undeniable that Munich is the richest team in the Bundesliga so they can easily increase their squad anytime they want, but despite the financial strength they have, indeed Kompany should also try to maximize the talent of young talents who are in the squad, so that way they will have a better team balance with the stamina of young players and also the experience of senior players, especially since they have just experienced a bad crisis when Kane is injured, so I think now is Kompany opportunity to see young players who have the potential to able replace Kane if he absence or injury like some time ago.

Odds are clearly saying this is one of the favourite bets because both teams are having good history and both are capable of scoring goals as well but here I have feeling we can be something surprising as well like both fail to score, and we will end with 0–0 because Borussia Dortmund will surely try to have something from this while Bayer Leverkusen is coming here just for win which will surely tough challenge due to their few early poor results now they needed some good fight for title race with Bayern Munich in second half of the season.

Here I will try to have taken chance with my own mindset which could be under 2.5 because for me, we will have better chances of having 1–1, or we will be ended with result like 0–1 but still need to work on this as we have three days remaining for this big game.
It is risky to bet on under goals in this match because as we know Dortmund and Leverkusen are quite productive in scoring goals this season so I do not hesitate to bet on over goals and BTTS in this match and in my opinion the odds @1.76 are quite worth it with the possibility of winning the bet is very large.

Dortmund this season plays quite strongly when at home they are even undefeated and on the other hand Leverkusen has also found its top performance so this will be a fierce match between the two teams and most likely there will be many goals scored, I am very sure of that.

No one having any doubt about Bayern Munich which is one of the toughest team in Europe due to their unlimited sources and best system with their academies are also producing the best talent which is doing amazing job in long run we have some decline in last season, but now they are back into business with chances are quite high for them to stay at the top and having end of their season with good results while their opponents are having no enough sources like them which is their biggest success.

Ins and outs are part of their strategy while when they needed any player they can bring him with their funds and charismatic success right now we have Harry Kane who is doing good job after joining this club and Vincent Kompany gamble is also going into their favour even still need more experience, but currently they are on track for good success in the future.

Bayern Leverkusen seems to be back to their last season performance of beating any team that comes their way, they are currently on 8 games winning streak and no one knows how long they are gonna keep the winning streak going. They didn’t have a good start if not they would currently be sitting at first place, they didn’t lose many matches but the drew a lot of games and it affected them but there is still hope to fight for the title, they are just 4 points behind Bayern Munich.

Dortmund have been struggling with their form since the beginning of the season, their performances have been unstable and it’s the reason why they are sitting at 6th position, they need to improve their game to get a spot in the top four at least.
Facing Leverkusen will not be easy for Dortmund especially not in this form they are, having the home advantage doesn’t even make them the match favorites. I know regardless of the outcome the match will be a very tough and intense game but unlike you I cannot stake on Dortmund to win but I like the both teams to score option. I would rather stake on both teams to score and Over 2.5.
It is difficult to predict this match because both of them certainly want to start the year with a win because it is important to build team confidence. Dortmund who are currently in 6th position certainly do not want to waste this opportunity to improve their standings especially as you said this match is played in front of their own supporters, this will be an extra strength in facing Leverkusen.

On the other hand, Leverkusen also considers this match very important in order to maintain their hopes of being able to defend the Bundesliga title. Moreover, Leverkusen is currently only 4 points behind Bayern Munich, so their chances of catching up with Bayern Munich are wide open with the hope that Bayern Munich will lose when facing Borussia Mönchengladbach.

So this Dortmund vs Leverkusen match will certainly be tough, and both teams will certainly play with an attacking strategy in order to score goals. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 is a wise betting choice because it is difficult to predict who will win this match but what is certain is that both teams will score goals.

Just as you said friendly games are avenues coaches use to test their squad and give playing time to young players especially for the fact that friendly games doesn't have a specific number of substitution, you can substitute as many as you want within the 90 minutes frame. Cup games in its initial stages also brings this opportunity as most times during the preliminary stage lower division teams are fused with the first division teams. So cups brings that opportunity of fielding these young players with 3 or 4 experienced ones to play along side. 

And yet every coach is aware that these test situations can't be compared to real high pressure situations in important games. I think young talents can give a first glimpse in those friendly matches, but they can really shine when they get their 10-20 minutes in serious games and then convince their coach. For strikers it's quite simple, if they score then that is the best proof they can produce in a game, for defenders and midfielders it is more complicated.

But this is why big clubs like Bayern have their youth academies. They know who should get a chance to train with the A team and who should get some playing time. But it's also about the coach himself. Some coaches are very well known for integrating younger talents into their experienced teams while other coaches prefer to take less risk and rather let those play who have proven themselves over a certain amount of time.

I remember when van Gaal was a Bayern coach who gave several young players his full trust. Muller was one of those and I think Schweinsteiger was another one.
Every game comes with its intensity and a good coach knows when to deploy his young stars, even in some high pressure games we have seen coaches give these young lads few minutes to play maybe to boost their confidence in the up coming games. I have watched several games these things happen among various coaches.

But don't make an assumption that Dortmund is going to lose just as they have been having a poor form as they have a very good record against Leverkusen. This game is also going to be the first game after the festivities that just ended. I noticed same type of results were played in the premier league as many teams were just drawing.
Looking at the game with a neutral mind I now clearly see that the game has a high chance to be a draw, games like this are difficult to predict and the fact that Leverkusen will be the away team makes it more challenging for them to win the game if they were the home team I would be more confident in them winning. Your prediction is not a bad one and is less risky than what i predicted earlier because games like this don’t usually involve many goals but sometimes football has a way of surprising us. Dortmund has always been a pain in the neck against Leverkusen and I know they wouldn’t want to lose to them easily this time.

I haven’t staked my bet yet but I am liking your prediction more and I may end u going with your prediction. Will just give it a little thought to decide.

It is the coach's astuteness to be able to include or create chemistry between senior players and young players in one team for future regeneration and also to maintain the stability of team performance, this is a difficult thing but it must be done.
So far, I see Kompany has not dared to maximize young players and he also does not dare to take big risks against the team's stable performance.
However, for friendly matches, of course Kompany must do that and find a way how he can rotate players without disrupting team performance, it must be maximized in friendly matches.
